Asustor Lockerstor 2 Gen 2 AS6702T

For those of you who have purchased the ASUSTOR Lockerstor 2 Gen2+ AS6702T v2, did it meet your expectations? If you upgrade the memory to 16 GB, is it fast enough for a home network NAS?

Edit: Is the fan noticeably loud?

Any Issues With Account After Syncing With Quicken

I have just started using Quicken again. For those of you who sync your account to download your transactions from your bank, credit and retirement accounts. Have you ever noticed any suspicious activity on any of those accounts? I have always kept up with it manually in the past, having it download into the regeister from the bank would be a nice touch.

Best Way To Accomplish Home Assistant and Home NAS Advice

I am thinking about buying a NUC mini pc with three nvme SSD slots (with 3 nvme SSD drives). I plan to install home assistant and TrueNAS, so I can create some network storage and time machine backup space. Is the best way to do this to install proxmox and create a HA VM and then a TrueNAS VM? Or is there a better way and if so, what is the better way and why?

Domain Name Appraisal

I have noticed that the few domain appraisal sites I use have a large variance between them. I have used dyn a dot, godaddy, and humbleworth. Is there a site that is accurate? If so, which site?

Hosting.com Renewal

Last year I bought the one year introductory price of $148 managed WordPress Plus plan hosting service from hosting.com The renewal for this plan $428. They have a new plan which is WordPress Medium for $299, which is supposed to be the equivalent of my legacy plan and I think a more robust and faster plan. I don’t really have any complaints for this past year. I have researched online and apparently the average cost for a managed Wordpress plan is about $25 or more dollars a month. Is anyone using the new Wordpress medium plan? Are you satisfied with it? is it worth $299 per year?

Edit: After reading a few more posts on here, the $299 per year may not be a bad price after all. That plan does include up to 5 websites. I probably would not have 5, but I may add one or two more websites.

I recently bought my lastname.me domain to use as a personal domain email address. my lastname.com is not available. I have read a few posts that people have said stay away from two letter TLD. I read a few more where some people said .me domain emails would not receive authorzation emails. I think I read some websites will not accept them for account emails. Have y’all had good luck with lastname.me personal domains? Bad luck with them? I just discovered that my three initials.com is for sale. I just sent an email to find out how much they want for it. if it is a reasonable number and I do purchase it, would that be better to use for my personal email domain? since it ends in a .com as opposed to a .me, I should not have any issues with any websites correct?

Edit: I have been told that I might have some issues with my lastname.me domain and I might not. I would prefer to choose a name that I definitely will not have any issues with. My three initials are going to be way more than i have to spend for that. I also have lastname.fyi. Should I expect any issues with a .fyi domain for online accounts or authorization emails?

I just set up a lastname.me personal domain in iCloud+. When I reply to an email sent to my lastname.me domain email in the apple mail app on my iPad, it replies to my lastname.me email address, not the email address that originally emailed me. If I login to icloud.com/mail it will reply to the sender address. Do I have something setup incorrectly in the mail app for my personal domain? The other email address that I have reply to the sender. Is there something specific to a dot me domain? Is there a bug in the apple mail app? It seems to work correctly from apple mail on my mac. I have not tried to set it up on the outlook app to see if that works correctly.

Edit: It must be a bug in the mail app. I created a fastmail account. I added the new fastmail account to the apple mail app also. It is doing the same thing. when I reply to an email sent to the fastmail account it is reply to the fastmail account and not the sender. I am still considering the fastmail account anyway. It looks like it would provide more flexibility for the domain email account(s).

I purchased a .me domain through Spaceship. I bought it from a third party. The domain was registered at Dyna dot. Spaceship told me that the easiest way to have it transferred to me was to create an account there. Now that I have the domain, is one management registrar better than the other? I kind of like the interface at Spaceship and am considering transferring it to Spaceship. Is there a good reason to keep it at Dyna dot?
