PLEX, bare metal or Docker?

blackvoid PLEX, bare metal or Docker?

If you haven't heard of PLEX, shame on you! Kidding. Just in case if you haven't, it's a media organization and streaming platform. Already 10+ years old, it offers a way to stream and organize your movies, tv shows, music, and private videos (even retro games) and present that content on almost any device known today. All platforms that support PLEX clients on their devices Now that we know what PLEX is, it might be a question of where to host it. Why? Well, PLEX is a client-server platform. It means that you need to have a running PLEX server that will handle the content management, and on top of that you need a PLEX client that will consume that content. Continue reading...

NAS Compares Where Are the Synology Play, DS421, DS422 and DS221?

Where Are the Synology Play and Standard Series? Yes, as fantastically clickbaity as the title might well suggest, there is simply no other way to put it. Where are the Synology PLAY and Standard series of desktop NAS devices. Synology has really been rather gun-ho about their Prosumer, SMB and Enterprise releases in the PLUS, XS, SA and FS series in the last year, with some genuinely impressive desktop (and rackmount) hardware released in the DS920+, DS1621+, DS1520+, RS3621xs+, RS1221+ to name but a few – but for many low-level users or those looking for a more cost-effective/value series of devices, Synology has been oddly silent. As always, there are always rumours floating around – from CPU manufacturers listing their supported...

blackvoid Blackvoid's 2nd-anniversary giveaway!

Happy 2nd birthday! Yes, this little blog is 2y old today. In the spirit of this event, and the fact that March is #WorldBackupDay (31st of March), Blackvoid.club will be doing a giveaway! Why this giveaway and what is it?!? As I have already said it is the second anniversary of the site, and I just wanted to give something back celebrating this moment. Over the last year, BV had on average about 4-5k visits a month, which I think is great considering that this is a niche blog site. Some of you have had positive outcomes using the tutorials on the site, and some got some direct help from me that you were kind enough to repay with some donations. I thank all of you very much, not just the donors but all visitors and people who...

NAS Compares Should You Buy the Synology DS920+ NAS in 2021?

Is the Synology DS920+ NAS Still Worth Buying in 2021? If you have been looking at buying a Synology NAS drive in 2021, then there is a good chance that the DS920+ has appeared on your radar. Originally released in summer 2020 (between May-July depending on where in the world you were) the Synology DS920+ was the follow up to the hugely popular and successful DS918+ NAS and when it was eventually released it met with a mostly positive reaction. As a standalone piece of kit, the DS920+ is a fantastic example of everything Synology is about – a well-balanced piece of hardware and software that can run the entire library of Synology DSM applications (the collaboration suite, Surveillance Station, Hyper Backup, Active Backup Suite, etc)...
