From the Ashai website - "Asahi Linux is a work in progress. Many hardware components are not yet supported!"

Just be warned a lot of people have bricked or nearly bricked their computers just trying to get Ashai installed on their Mac. Daily driver this is not but they are making great progress! It will get there eventually.

Yeah sure if that's what makes you happy.... 👍. Nothing like blinding random people in cars in your spare time.

Ugh I know people feel strongly about FSD and Tesla. As some one who uses it ( and still pays attention hands on wheels when activated) when FSD is active as soon as it sees anything resembling emergency lights it will beep and clearly disengage. I am not sure, but it's possible this person probably is just using Tesla as a scape goat for their own poor driving. However in my experience it will force the driver to take control when emergency lights are recognized specifically to avoid instances like this.

Docker as mentioned above is great especially if you're going down the homelab rabbit hole. You'll find it really useful to get familiar with for future projects.

Another alternative is to install DietPi. It's an operating system for a raspberry pi. It has all these programs you mentioned with install scripts including docker and installing (and updating) is as easy as checking a box. Also has a pretty good community in case you run into an edge case.

I think the best you can do is use pihole with unbound so all dns requests go directly to root servers so no middle man involved. If you have a raspberry pi and use dietpi it is very easy to setup.

I have not tried shucking drives but I imagine they should work. Currently have 20tb Seagate ironwolf ST20000NT001. The script takes two seconds to run and needs to be redone everytime you update the Synology software which doesn't seem to be overly frequent. Running the script or not you have the same full functionality. Script just removes the warnings.

Haha no, I really over did it. Figured it was better to have more then less and even ecc ram is fairly cheap so why not. I eventually wanted to see if it was possible to create a ram disk to run Plex in but I run it and some other *arr programs off the m.2 drives and they are really snappy.

I'm sure you read the same reddit thread I did saying that the xs series only accept Synology drives which is totally incorrect. That being said it will throw up the warning about not using Synology drives or ram but everything works as normal. If the warnings bother you you can run the script from here https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db And the warnings will go away.

Hi there, have the 1823xs+ works fine with non Synology drives. Have 8 20tb seagate drives, an Intel optane m.2 and wd sn850x 4tb. Also upgraded to 64gb of Kingston ram. No problems at all, thing is a beast.

Valid point, and again I haven't done this myself, but it seems you only need the VPN for the initial sign up and then you can login normally after that. Not perfect for everyone but an option to consider.

Also, and I guess I'm making a huge assumption but I'd imagine most people here have access to a VPN

I know this may be blasphemy but if you use a VPN to sign up from certain countries you can get YouTube premium for like 25 bucks for the year. Haven't tried it personally but I've seen it mentioned a million times.

If they go to war with adblockers though some one smarter then me will probably come out with a way to just download the video and cut out ads post.

Thanks for posting this! Really interesting idea! Don't forget to give us the good stuff - the details on how to implement this :-)
