    Ditching the Raspberry Pi was a big move for me, especially with a month-long trip to Japan on the horizon and a tech-dependent family of eight in tow. In this video, I dive into the why and how of upgrading our travel tech setup. It's all about ensuring we've got a rock-solid, reliable travel router and NAS to keep everyone connected, entertained, and maybe a bit too online during our adventures. Follow along as I break down the journey from decision to real-world execution, showcasing the trials, errors, and eventual triumphs of finding the perfect travel companion in the tech world.
    The leap from the familiar comfort of Raspberry Pi to a new solution was driven by the need for something more robust and capable of handling the demands of multiple devices streaming and accessing data on the go. This isn't just a tech swap; it's a mission to enhance our travel experience significantly. You'll get an inside look at the setup process, how it stands up to the ultimate field test (aka my kids), and whether it can really cut the mustard as the heart of our digital nomad setup. So, if you're into tech, travel, or just love a good family tech drama, this is one you won't want to miss.

      Hey Network Chuck, i found a spare 8TB SATA 3.5" drive thats about 4-5 years old in a drawer. I want to use in my Open Media Vault running on my Raspberry Pi 4. I know I'd have to use one of the USB ports but to do you have any recommendations for a USB adapter that I can use? Thanks!

      if you click on thumbnails with faces that have mouths opens and stupid fake shocked poses and tell YT not to recommend it's shocking how quick they stop suggesting content created by people who are okay with looking like twats because they think it'll get them more views. trouble is i'm not subscribed to you and i've told YT not to recommend your channel again... if everyone starts doing as i, you will be able to stop demeaning yourself in the hope YT will allow you to get more expressions. they tell you the algorithm works so you do what they say and you jump through their hoops but i've just determined my own algorithm, they won't keep showing me content created by sheep.

    The N3450 is from 2016 and the performance matches it. Anything with N100 or N305 processors will run circles around them. It is possible to find a PfSense appliance with an NVME slot / slots and integrated wifi. Usualy they run proxmox just fine. This avoids the need to create a glue up of three different things :)

    I love syncthing, I use it to get my music to my phone without the hassle of picking between faster charging or data transfer. Just make changes on my computer and it mirrors to my phone and as I also use it on CasaOS on a third system for a bit of redundancy that's always on it will hold on to the changes if either the phone or the computer aren't on at the same time.

    those Little GLiNet routers do work when traveling. I used one almost everyday on my last job when traveling cross country. Had my router, my Pi-4, my steamdeck and dock, my tablet and my phone. Hotel, Air BnB, or Airports waiting on layovers.

    Love it! This is everything I want to do for a future trip to Taiwan. One thing I want to add is hotspot tethering on with load balancing. Google Fi has free roaming, so I’d do that or prepaid SIM when I reach the destination. With it, I hope to have a backup and/or supplemental bandwidth if the place I’m staying doesn’t have reliable internet.
    I have older kids. No Bluey but plenty of demand for TH-cam on WiFi iPads.

    On my travels, I've been carrying only the lil GLinet router with me that has tailscale running which lets all of my deviecs connect to my home jellyfin server, as well as use the same host to route all my traffic through like a secure VPN tunnel. The only issue is quality loss and buffering when the internet is slow but if I get the time to plan ahead, I can have download media offline on the device and then it doesn't really have to depend on the network connectivity.

Today low power x86 motherboard are cheap as a pie and has connectivity with all the hardware that you aready know.

    CasaOS is the thing that finally got me to setup my own home server. Opted for very small profile Fujitsu Esprimo Q556/2 with i5 7400t, it supports NVME, and two 2.5 SATAs(one using odd adapter and another one supports thiccc 4-5tb Seagate HDDs so that's what I went with) as well as has integrated PSU, not an external power brick. With Ubuntu Server it runs as needed, c7 states thanks to powertop and all. Right now running pihole with unbound, jellyfin, *arr stack 24/7, the electricity bill didn't even change (*subjectively in the same range as was before). I am looking forward to trying out setting up VPN and exposing some services to my friends and family. Also since I am software developer (not skilled in admin and infra stuff) it is just a great side/hobby project with which I can tinker and still get some work/study related knowledge.

    Kind of sick setup for traveling on last minute! 👍
    I think you could make it working with Proxmox, the only thing I wonder would be RAM but it should be fine 2Gigs for Proxmox host 2Gigs for Virtual TrueNas (you could easily passthrough those SSDs) and 4Gigs for virtual debian, then you just spin the virtual debian as 2nd VM mount the shares from TrueNas with your NAS and Plex Library, start plex as container with passing the volumes from mounted NAS shares, you used Pihole, you could have hosted it as container as well on this debian VM, then your libraries would be visible like local storage from the container, to be safe I usually do shares on TrueNAS as SMB those would be universal for all platforms. I’m not even starting what else you could do with it :D like generating certificates, reverse proxy etc.
    I’ve done the same with bunch of tweaks and additional containers and services at home, I also did container with unifi controller and I get internet from mobile routers but the box itself is much bigger than yours, though it’s more stationary setup but in case of moving it’s as simple as connecting the cables and ubiquity switches/APs I top that with mobile routers that have Ethernet port. I wonder how would work this new unifi express instead of your router for mobile setup.

    The reason things like the Raspberry Pi use ARM instead of x86_64, is because x86_64 is super power hungry! ARM doesn't need much power at all! If our phones ran x86_64, we would have like an hour of battery life at 100% charge!
