  • minidlna

    MiniDLNA (aka ReadyDLNA) is server software with the aim of being fully compliant with DLNA/UPnP-AV clients. It is developed by a NETGEAR employee for the ReadyNAS product line

  • How is the Media Server package? On the ReadyNAS, the ReadyMedia / MiniDLNA app started to choke on my files after the collection got a bit large.

  • LibreELEC.tv

    Just enough OS for KODI

  • I'm still learning about the cache drive options-- my typical use of the NAS will be to backup some desktop / laptop computers, stream MP3s or play MP3s via SAMBA shares on my LibreELEC Raspberry Pi, occasionally watch some family mobile phone videos (h.265), and possibly run some VMs to practice some coding-- Would I benefit from installing NVME Cache disks at all? Even at the recommended minimum of 2.5% of my volume size? I'm confused why the KB proposes 2.5% of the volume size, but the whitepaper says to only bother with the amount of actual hot data used because whatever space is leftover is used as cold storage. Is the SSD Cache Advisor useful? Anyone have issues with its recommendations?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
