Hey get your facts straight. They overclocked it intentionally but poorly. If they weren’t already pushing it to the limit this probably wouldn’t even be an issue.

Every CPU will wear out given enough time. Most of the time that is like 20+ years, so no one cares. The problem is that they where pushing things so hard the CPU was wearing out in 6 months. So all of these CPUs will likely have a reduced lifespans, but they may last long enough to get you to your next upgrade. If you are already seeing crashing issues, it is likely wore out already.
The best shot for that any time soon would be Qualcomm’s ARM laptops. But it doesn’t seem like they are prepared to deliver what is necessary to make that happen currently. I think they under estimated how much software/driver work was necessary to compete.
What my setup will soon be for hardware: Gen 2 AMD epic 16 core CPU, Supermicro motherboard with lots of pcie slots, 128g ram, Intel arc a40 GPU, HBA card attached to a super micro disk shelf
Software: Proxmox for host is, Truenas Scale (just NAS) in VM with HBA card passed into VM, Plex in VM with Intel GPU passed in, 3 VMs for docker swarm (headless Debian)
Other thoughts: Cloud flare will only be helpful for things you want exposed to the internet. If you do that make sure you have a reverse proxy. This is how I expose services for non-tech family.
VPN will be more secure, but can also be more of a pain. I generally only do that for things only I need or only techy savvy people will use.
It may be more productive to layout an example of how you could make a better build with the same budget. Your critique may be accurate, but it doesn’t really help them build a better system next time.
That is a feature not a bug. The alternative is people being in senior positions that want to do things “the way they were taught to do it” 30 years ago.
I think it is reasonable to assume Valve will leverage automation heavily. Why pay someone to update that list when a script could do it?
Your biggest potential bottle neck is if your NAS and App server only have a single 1g network port. This may not be a problem depending on your usage, but it is a important consideration to keep in mind.
Thank you for linking that.
Was that in what was shared above and I missed it or was that said somewhere else? Could you share that if it is easily available?
The point was simply that Debian is not responsible for Ubuntu or PopOS, but they can still interact cooperatively. Downstream benefits from the work Upstream does and downstream can contribute upstream so everyone benefits.
I would be inclined to think Valve doesn’t want the responsibility of making it a “broad” OS. More likely is there are other open source communities that are taking that on and Valve is willing to work with. Much like we have Debian -> Ubuntu -> PopOS.
For HDDs the best way is to think of them like shoes or tires. They will eventually fail, but they also may fail prematurely. I always recommend having a spare drive ready.
You don’t want hardware raid. Some options you can research:
Some OS options to consider:
There are probably other software/OS’s to consider, but those are the ones I have any experience with. I personally use ZFS on Truenas with a lot of help from this YouTube channel. https://youtube.com/@lawrencesystems?si=O1Z4BuEjogjdsslF
Have you used Google lately? At least chatGPT doesn’t make me scroll past a full page of ads before giving me a half wrong answer.
Syncthing is a better fit for your use case. As much as I appreciate having my Nextcloud setup, it can also be a pain in the ass some times.
Someone I know organized a group buy and bought a box of them.
I am running an Arc A40 on an Ubuntu VM for Plex. They only problem I have is VM not booting after it is restarted. Restarting the host fixes the issue.

Not a professional, just another meat bag trying to figure his own stuff out. Good job on the introspection. Some times just seeing our own behavior can be difficult. Getting help from a professional is always a good plan. Until then, I would suggest continuing to be mindful of that you do this and make a focused effort to pay attention to the emotions your are feeling when you do these things. Other than that, what are the things you DO want to do? When you you try take these new actions, what are your emotions at these times?
P.S. Being more self aware is a skill. Don’t be surprised if it your not very good at it to start.
