Set up a wireguard server at your NAS location. Can be done cheaply with Pi zero w, though the transfer speed will be limited the Pi wifi speed. Use wireguard client app on your devices overseas. Wireguard has official client apps on Win, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS. Connect your client to NAS using local IP address of the NAS.

So, according to the reply from Linus, LTT is not planning on addressing this matter publicly at all? You kept saying the lab team is suffering major growing pain, and had been saying that for quite some time now, as I'm sure many people here know that. You and the lab team are clearly expanding too fast, harming your capability to manage and produce accurate and quality results. You need to "Slow down and think" - Linus. You mentioned you couldn't retest the Billet Labs cooler because you couldn't test it with all the possible number of pumps and radiators configuration, but no one asked for that. People need you to properly test the cooler with the proper hardware it was designed for, and according to the GN and one of the founder's comments, they sent you all the manual and guides needed to complete the task. You chose to ignore the guides and ignore its intended purpose, it's like trashing the Prius for it's performance at the race track then doubling down on that because you couldn't possibly test all the scenarios people could drive the Prius. Also the auctioning of the cooler, according to GN emails with the Billet Labs, they didn't know anything about it until 3 days ago. Now, you provided a vague comment on the subject blaming "miscommunication", that's not selling it, we need details on how this happened and the correct timeline for the events. It's not helping your argument much if you only provided the compensation AFTER the GN video. The report from GN about the cooler auctioning is one-sided and I it's not fair for you guys when GN publish the piece without contacting LMG for comment first. It's also not fair for Billet Labs when "It also comes across a touch hypocritical when some basic due diligence could have helped clarify much of it" - Linus, with the cooler. You did that many times before with many other products, why not this one? Beside some rare "Hurr durr, LTT is going DOWN" comments, everyone here knows that "It was a mistake (a bad one, but a mistake) and they're taking care of it", and everyone is yearning for you guys to do better. Immediately using the word "pitchforks" for your most dedicated fans is not helping. I know you guys are always trying to do the best. Honestly, I'm actually most disappointed by Linus' attitude toward the situation.

I've been watching LTT regularly for 9 years now. I've been noticing the slow declining in quality within the last 12 months and also my lack of interest in watching or finishing newer videos. I couldn't put this lackluster feeling into words, but I knew something wasn't right. GN video kinda put a lot of my "feeling" into words and with actual examples, many of them. I agree with the majority of the points and the severity of the situation. I am a proper supporter of LMG team, and I love them. I have Floatplanes subscription, I bought many T-shirts and gears from their store. I like what they're been doing for years (not recently, of course) and I do hope they learn and improve from this situation. For the angry people, please actually wait to see their response to this and make your decision from there. If this goes bad, I will remove my support for LMG, for now, I'll stay put.

You need to plug the old CPU in and update your Motherboard BIOS. I had the same problem upgrading from 3800X to 5900X.

The problem with Metaverse is their vision is two steps ahead of current technologies. Usually for big companies, they have a small team on the side developing experimental concept slowly along with the advance of tech. Meta on the other hand, went full force head first into their concept without the technologies supporting it in hope that the tech will be "invented" fast enough for them. This reminds me of JWT. They crammed in technologies that hadn't even been invented, leading to 10 years and 20 times the initial budget.

Fan hub is more expensive. The cost of the hub plus the more expensive 4-pin fans. Splitters can play nice with either 3-pin or 4-pin. Also easier to use with built-in Motherboard fan control.

Considering a proper PC as a NAS would consume ~20x more power than a Pi 4, and I only need 4TB for now, it's hard to justify a full on server running 24/7. The components will arrive on Monday and I'll have an update.

The price of all the components is the why this will be a gradual upgrade over time. The HDD needs more power and there's no way around it.

The USB hub has a separate power supply, which I hope would be enough. 65W total and the drive only use 5W max (checked on their website)

Hello, I'm planning to have a NAS for long term storage of large RAW photos and short clips from video games. I want the server to be online 24/7 so the low power Pi 4 is currently the top choice. The HDD will be a single Seagate Ironwolf 4TB with plan to expand to 4 drives with RAID 5 in the future. The power supply for the hard drive is the AmazonBasic USB 3.1 10-ports hub with 65W powered (20V / 3.25A). I'm using OpenMediaVault and have successfully tested the NAS with a Pi 3B+ and an SSD. Can you guys tell me if there's somethings wrong with this setup? Do you have a better recommendation with similar budget? Some more questions. 1. The Pi 3 B+ supports 300Mb/s over ethernet but average sustain transfer speed is around 22MB/s or 176Mb/s which is way lower than what it is capable of, is there something I can do to improve the speed? 2. When I eventually upgrade to 4 drives in RAID 5, do I have to format everything on the original drive? 3. I have a plan to use an actual Windows PC as a NAS in the future with 10Gb/s connection. What is the minimum recommended CPU if I want to play video games over NAS? Thanks for the help.

Bottom right, click on the "speakers" button, click on the name of the device above the volume slider and change the output device. Have you tried this?

Considering that 1080p Youtube only needs 5Mb/s, your internet bandwidth can supports all of those devices at once. Only upgrade when you experience some problem. Usually, ISP provided box is a Modem and a Router smashed together, and that thing is has crappy quality which might cause a problem (Lagging in online games, dropping connection or incapability of providing the full bandwidth). Again, only upgrade if you have a problem with it. Now if you want to upgrade, you have to buy a Modem, which you must confirm with the ISP that they support. New Modems are widely supported by many ISPs. Modem has a serial code on it and you must bring the Modem to the local ISP store so they can activate it (basically the ISP allows the Modem with that serial code to access their network). Or you can message their support and ask them to unlock your Modem, which ever way you prefer. Next, you need to buy the Router. The internet goes like this ISP -> Modem -> Router(Wifi) -> Devices. Now the Modem has access to the internet, you can buy whatever Router you want. Modem does not provide Wifi, it usually has a single Ethernet port which provides internet for the Router. The Router can cast Wifi signal and manage your network.

If he could change the IP, that means he has access to the Router, of which you need to take control. -You must set password to your Router. -Change LAN IP from dynamic to Static, then reserve the IP of the Xbox. -Restrict access to the IP of the Xbox so he can still play offline games if he wants to. Those things are a few clicks away from being done, just google it. But he can still share the Wifi access from the Phone or Laptop to his Xbox, which I can't think of a way to prevent unless you're willing to block the IPs of those devices also.

I don't know if the case includes at least 3 case fans. If not, step the PSU down a notch and get enough fans.

Don't forget case fans, and some fan cable splitters.
