Jumping on this and will be starting slowly. I have a newish laptop…that has a broken screen. Alternatively I can pick up a new one. I also have a bunch of portable hard drives.
I have terrible internet (cable) with the phone line sitting at a spot in the hall where I could keep a small dedicated cupboard. So I was thinking something connected by Ethernet.
I want to ideally use it for downloading content and streaming it to devices around the house. Likely firestick or an alternative tv box.
Secondly I would use to stream music to my iPhone outside the house.
Any guides or starting points would be welcome.


Don’t use Facebook but got hit by this on insta today. About time I ditched it anyway. Ain’t paying and I feel like agreeing gives them free rein to use data about me detrimentally.
