Again looking into which NAS I want to get for my Plex server. In a couple of weeks my desk will be delivered and put together, so I can finally get my office/craft space sorted out and one of the things I really want is to have a dedicated NAS server. I now run it off my laptop, which has goes to sleep after a while, so I need to keep it awake. Which is a small annoyance when the laptop is on the same floor but if I have to go up two stairs regularly if we have movie night it's annoying (in Windows setting I turned off sleep, but it still goes into sleep mode, which is most likely a graphics card setting, but I can't find where to change it).

I've now asked my computer store for help, hopefully they can narrow down which NAS will be best for me.

There have been serveral “ jiggle the cursor” apps, so a machine looks busy. They might serve to keep it awake, too.

One friend of mine just watched 3 of their co-workers being fired for using that type of app while working from home on work supplied devices. He warned them that IT could monitor the use of apps on their work computers since the two of us had dug into the install on his computer to look at the AktivTrak monitoring software. Admittedly, taking the SSD out and mounting it as an external drive on a second computer is not something that most people would do but it did let us get a good look at what was there.

I've thought about getting one of those USB mouse jigglers. But I wanted a dedicated server for Plex anyways. Right now my library is on an external HDD and the server app is on my laptop, so when someone is watching something my laptop is doing the encoding and I'm less free to use my laptop.

A dedicated server will solve this problem. I've got an email back with advice which set up will work best for me. So now it's time to read up/watch YouTube how to set up a Plex server on that brand of NAS.

Today's quest is looking at TVs. I need a new one for my bedroom and I want to get a good one. So I'm off to the store later this morning.
