After real-world use, it’s clear this isn’t an all-in-one mini PC. Not a great NAS, not an efficient router, and not really a desktop replacement.

It does however make sense as a compact Proxmox / virtualization node with external storage.

Before we install TrueNAS on a UGREEN NAS, we should probably backup the UGOS image should we want to restore it later. It's not available to download, let's get it right

A few years ago, cybersecurity felt like a big-business problem.

Not anymore.

Most attacks we respond to now start with something small - a remote employee’s unpatched laptop, or an old remote-access tool left open.

Do you think Microsoft will eventually charge a subscription for Windows?

With Windows 11 becoming increasingly locked down, the company’s clear shift towards recurring revenue through Microsoft 365, Copilot, and other cloud-based services, it’s fair to ask.
