For real? Damn it that’s going to be painful.

Never ask a man his pay, a woman her weight, or a data horder the contents of their stash.
Jk. Mostly.
I have a similar-ish set up to @Davel23 , I have a couple of cool use cases.
I seed the last 5 arch and opensuse (a few different flavors) ISOs at all times
I run an ArchiveBot for archive.org
I scan nontrivial mail (the paper kind) and store it in docspell for later OCR searches, tax purposes etc.
I help keep Sci-Hub healthy
I host several services for de-googling, including Nextcloud, Blocky, Immich, and Searxng
I run Navidrome, that has mostly (and hopefully will soon completely) replace Spotify for my family.
I run Plex (hoping to move to Jellyfin sometime, but there’s inertial resistance to that) that has completely replaced Disney streaming, Netflix streaming, etc for me and my extended family.
I host backups for my family and close friends with an S3 and WebDAV backup target
I run 4x14TB, 2x8TB, 2x4TB, all from serverpartsdeals, in a ZFS RAID10 with two 1TB cache dives, so half of the spinning rust usable at ~35TB, and right now I’m at 62% utilization. I usually expand at about 85%
Yeah honestly no idea regarding moderation. But the codebase is maintained by a team.
There is a team, not a sole dev.
I’m not saying everything is roses and rainbows, but this is FUD messaging being spread openly by the mbin dev team.
I’ve had great experiences with exactly one vendor of second hand disks.
Currently running 8x14TB in a striped & mirrored zpool.
Really all I do is setup fail2ban on my very few external services, and then put all other access behind wireguard.
Logs are clean, I’m happy.
Yeah, you should be scrubbing weekly or monthly, depending on how often you are using the data. Scrub basically touches each file and checks the checksums and fixes any errors it finds proactively. Basically preventative maintenance.

Set that up in a cron job and check zpool status periodically.
No dedup is good. LZ4 compression is good. RAM to disk ratio is generous.
Check your disk’s sector size and vdev ashift. On modern multi-TB HDDs you generally have a block size of 4k and want ashift=12. This being set improperly can lead to massive write amplification which will hurt throughput.

How about snapshots? Do you have a bunch of old ones? I highly recommend setting up a snapshot manager to prune snapshots to just a working set (monthly keep 1-2, weekly keep 4, daily keep 6 etc) https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid
And to parrot another insightful comment, I also recommend checking the disk health with SMART tests. In ZFS as a drive begins to fail the pool will get much slower as it constantly repairs the errors.
And most decent indexers these days.
Using automation software like the Arrs, dramatically improves the UX/UI, providing another layer of filtering too.
The cost for these things isn’t terribly high. You can get three excellent indexers and a good provider for less than $12USD a month.
ZFS is a very robust choice for a NAS. Many people, myself included, as well as hundreds of businesses across the globe, have used ZFS at scale for over a decade.
Attack the problem. Check your system logs, htop, zpool status.
When was the last time you ran a zpool scrub? Is there a scrub, or other zfs operation in progress? How many snapshots do you have? How much RAM vs disk space? Are you using ZFS deduplication? Compression?
Disagree. I’ve never encountered malware in over a decade. Cost of should be less than the cost of a Netflix subscription.
Voice, on F-Droid.

Voice has never made me want a different player, fwiw.
It can. Most people just use the filesystem watcher, but this looks nice. https://github.com/deathbybandaid/tdarr_inform
Highly recommend using tdarr. Not just because the radarr container won’t do it, but because tdarr is so incredibly powerful.
I’ve had excellent luck with Docspell. https://github.com/eikek/docspell
For second hand, I highly recommend https://serverpartdeals.com/
GitLab and GitHub were always developed separately by completely different people and have never shared code.
Do you have a special going if I need more than one?
I use FreshRSS. Can’t say I love the interface, but with the open and standardized API, there are dozens of beautiful front ends to choose on any device.
