jrey2112on Redmine – open-source project management

I wish I was still on Redmine. The interface turned off the "boss", but I've been a refugee in attempting to solve his UI issues through Wrike, Trello, ClickUp and more.

I was never more productive as an IT Manager than with Redmine. It's so fast to get things entered and added, which was a boon for us. I miss it.

jrey2112on Ask HN: What hardware are you running for your home server?

QNAP TS-464-8G. Runs containers, media server, file system, Plex, DLNA and a hundred more things. The RAID aspect with some Seagate IronWolf drives helps me sleep better at night.

I had a 7 year old QNAP which eventually died. I was able to purchase this one and move my drives over after updating the internal software first. Nothing lost. I then one by one took out my 4TB drives and replaced with 16TB drives, then expanded the space. Everything "just worked".
