Not self-hosted so I doesn’t really answer your question… However, if you’re still a student consider the switch to Zotero.

Things you can self-host though, to make your books available everywhere, is some webdav sever to link your books directly to zotero and access them on every device.

If you’re serious about book reading and study, nothing beats Zotero !

Oh yeah sorry ! For the ease of use part I ment the NAS stuff which already comes bundled with all the necessary software to keep things easy but less customizable !

Yeah if you get IT enterprise hardware for free it’s kinda similar to repurposing, sooo that’s a great deal and lucky you !!!

But I would never put 1$ myself into specific server stuff ! Except if one day I want to contribute to the self-hosted/opensource community and host something like newpipe that needs to be publicly available.Then yeah, proper hardware and software stuff is mandatory !

Sorry if my comment came by rude, that wasn’t my purpose !

Yeah… Never had a specific “server” certified hardware and always repurpose my hold hardware stuff. Never failed me !!

However, there are some functions specific to NAS’ like low power and other stuff people mention but I already forgot.

IMO all this NAS and certified server stuff is good for Enterprise shit and the like… But for homelabbing it’s probably overkill and way to much overpriced for the little gain…

Except maybe for the ease of use and plug and play function? Each one it’s own I guess !

Yeah maybe, I’m not sure anymore ! Maybe both had some mental break down with some strange political and cultural view 🤷‍♂️ Long time I haven’t been in the gaming piracy scene… But if you confirm it was Empress rather than FitGirl I will edit my comment !

Edit: After some search on the web you’re right :) I ment Empress. Edited !

This reads like Empresse’s* mental breakdown xD
