  • Yeah, this all depends on how sure OP is in their requirements.

    It works well as a (slow) Time Machine server but I did have to add a weekly reboot out flat it would get stuck.

    But after buying my requirements changed and it couldn’t evolve to meet them, which is why I would warn against if there’s any chance you want to run out of the box services.


  • I will warn you against the mistake I made: DO NOT buy a WD MyCloud device.

    They work okay, but you have zero control over what runs on the device. You will be limited if you want to run any apps that aren’t included.

    Make sure whatever you end up getting, it has support for running docker containers if you even remotely think that’s a use case you want.








  • I don’t like that an adversary could modify that link or its contents without much detection or any logging.

    When you compare it to package managers that have immutable versioning that’s a big downfall. If someone were modifying pypi or npm packages I would be surprised if it went undetected.

    Realistically is that an issue, probably not. But I do try and reduce my exposure when I can.
