Time for FLAs?

edit: but if that's also compromised earlier... \o/
Unrelated to that, but on a Ubuntu laptop I have Firefox tabs regularly stop working entirely. They just won't load anything, and the only fix is to open a new tab and that loads fine most of the time. Other times I have to restart Firefox. I've tried searching for others experiencing this problem and even asked in Mozilla channels on Matrix, but even then I didn't come up with any answers. The laptop's hinge broke last year so I haven't used it since then, so likely never going to figure out what was going on.
I think most of my use-case could be covered by one or more mini pcs, since I mostly run stuff like Home Assistant and other small things in containers. But for storage I'm not sure what makes sense now. I went with zraid2 back then (in 2015) because I already had four of the 3TB disks, so purchasing two more was worth it for the cost and extra parity drive.
But now I'm not sure if ZFS is the right choice. I think now you can expand pools with more disks, in theory anyway, but I never tried it.
I don't know what options I should consider, and why. Unraid for example looks promising, since you can just keep adding disks.
Realistically most of what I have on the server is replaceable, I really only care about personal photos/videos/documents.
If I am replacing hardware to lower power consumption/electricity cost, spending lots of money to do so does not really make much sense. I would very much like to get 90W+ of heating power out of my home office though, it's noticeably cooler in the room if I turn off the server and other computer(s). Less spinning disks and less hardware would help with that part, but other than making the office cooler I don't think I would save that much money (initially anyway).
The disks I have are from 2015, so probably better to make a choice for hardware/disks now than having to emergency purchase one or more of them to replace failing ones.
I bought a StarLite Mk 5 [1] to replace the Dell laptop, and regret it so far. Battery life isn't anywhere near promised and since I primarily use the laptop sitting on a couch it's useless because of the magnetic keyboard/being a tablet. It's my own fault for buying it, I should have cancelled the order, and I don't think I can return it even if it's basically brand new unused in the box it came in.

To make things more complicated, I have a Nordic layout and all the parts I can find are US/UK, so realistically I'd also need a new keyboard, front cover and everything else!
Maybe I should try to just design a case for this so I can use it as some sort of home server instead. Seems wasteful to just throw it away
>What is important after the changeover? • We want to be able to offer you even better customer service in the future. For that reason, we want to change the date of your invoice. This will make it easier for us to quickly answer questions about your invoices. Starting in April, your new permanent billing day will be the 12. of the month.
I think they have just spread the billing day out across the month for all customers
This applies to anything really, be it work or chores at home or anything else I either really find boring or can't quite solve. If there is a problem I can't think of a solution for it must be split up more.
If it's something like doing the laundry or something you can just do a little bit here and there. Just 5 minutes of doing what needs to be done, even if it's a quick few dishes in or out of the dishwasher and a few clothes folded up. I don't need to be motivated to manage 5 minutes of doing something. Just 5 more minutes!
For some things though like going to the gym when I really don't want to, refer to the first sentence. I'm not motivated, but I am stubborn so I'm going anyway. :)
Edit: Not sure why I would be getting down-voted for this. Security breaches are a big deal, but if the only result of this for the users is that we need to change our passwords that's a fairly good outcome, no? :-) The biggest hurdle ahead for Plex is to figure out exactly what these attackers did, if they were directly targeted and for how long they were in their network. A lot of the times a incident is discovered it's discovered a long time after the first breach (based on my own personal experience)

They have not seen a huge amount of reads/writes though, if we don't count the weekly scrub and weekly usage by just me.
That is not going to change between different machines as far as I know, I might be wrong about this. I made some bad choices (in hindsight) when making this pool for my uses, but it's still going strong many years later. [1]
This current pool (which is now old, 50k+ power on hours on these disk) has survived a motherboard dying randomly and one or two SSD failures with the OS on.
Always just installed a OS on a new SSD and it's been picked up just fine.
[1] I went with RAID-Z2 for 6x3TB WD Reds where I probably should have made mirrored pools or something like it to gain more space? It's been a while since I looked at it. Can't really expand this pool or add more storage without replacing each disk one by one with something bigger.
I could make another pool with new disks but I'd lose another 20% to parity.
