My understanding is that hba cards support virtualization better than passing sata directly through. But if you’re not virtualizing the NAS, I wouldn’t see an issue with a reputable motherboard that has enough sata ports at 6 Gbps.
For the cheaper expansion cards I’d see that as a central point of failure and would recommend an hba card over a cheaper alternative.
Overall the marketing is dishonest/over promises and there’s some previous lack of transparency with data breaches along with being closed source. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NordVPN#Criticism
There’s just better options: https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/
Define “due taxes”? It’s all a net loss bc “we” paid so much in nontaxable stock options to our senior leadership so they could borrow more money and buy a 2nd plane to get from their private island to their new boat.
Power bank would be the term or battery brick/bank if you wanted to meld both terms.
If it’s like a vpn interface, it’s still running as a deamon in the background even if the browsers are closed.
Like others have said you can check what application is using each open port. You can also check running processes (ps | grep keywords) and interfaces (ip a).

Just a lot of writing them down and memorizing them from 1st to 3rd grade ish.
There is a few tricks like using your fingers for the 9s https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Your-Fingers-to-Do-the-9s-Times-Tables
But other than that, it was basically brute forced lol.
They don’t really as the “smart” subsidies the cost of the TV. Some commerical grade TVs and large monitors won’t be smart or need Internet connectivity.
The perfect brisket heist.
I’ll be honest that I haven’t watched his videos so maybe it ends up stable. TrueNAS basically says in their docs you can end up with weird issues.
If you host it in proxmox directly there’s less overhead, as in it’s not going bare metal > proxmox > TrueNAS > application. You might run into issues but honestly try it and keep a configuration backup if it fails. Pcie passthrough instead of devices for the HBA card and any external graphics cards works the most stable but you won’t be able to “share” those resources.
I personally like docker for most everything I can with a few things hosted within proxmox. I originally started with portainer which gave me a web GUI for docker but honestly docker-compose files are a better approach. So proxmox > debian > docker Proxmox > trueNAS and proxmox > other VMs. This has its own challenges like passing storage from the NAS to jellyfin but works for me.
As for components, I’m stable on an old office desktop computer potato (albeit it does hit some limits with file transfers and transcoding multiple streams). I wouldn’t necessarily recommend going out and buying an equivalent but if you want to mess around, don’t be afraid of not enough resources in a test config.
For #3 officially, nesting TrueNAS in another hypervisor and then using it as a hypervisor is not really recommended, especially with any kind of virtual drives. It could lead to challenges. Virtualizing drives is definitely not recommended and the most stable choice is passing pcie through with a hba card.
Given that, I have a similar setup and I’ve made backups for important data, I passed a pcie data/SAS hba card that I connect any TrueNAS drives to directly instead of a virtualized drive.

They won’t care if you bring your own device unlocked. If you’re buying from Apple’s website or another 3rd party, it should give the option to select the version between unlocked or carrier specific options like Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile.
You can buy the locked version from T-Mobile outright if it’s cheaper. If you ever want to change carriers you can get it unlocked after a certain amount of time around 90 days.
Edit: Based on your other comments, you’re buying from Apple directly. The last question relates to if the device is carrier locked. Choose “Connect to any carrier later”.
Yes but the camera should be in a place that can’t be physically tampered with easily since someone could theoretically unplug the camera and plug into your home network and see all your computers or other devices as if they had stolen your WiFi password. A small risk but it’s better to hardwire it somewhere they would need a ladder to get to or get a camera system that connects to a central box inside the house.
I think that was Edison using AC. Apparently it was not part of the war of the currents. https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocuting_an_Elephant
I googled the echo flex and I don’t see any evidence someone has gotten the bootloader unlocked or have been able to install a custom ROM/OS. Depending on the generation the flex is based on, it could be Linux or android based. Have you been able to access the os on your devices? If not, you might have a lot of work on your hands to get enough access to install any kind of non-stock OS.
