According to a news article about US MIL emails being accidentally sent to ML addresses due to misspellings, there was apparently a contractor in charge of the ML TLD, whose 10(?)-year contract was up the other day, I think, or will be soon. With Mali taking direct control over it, presumably they have their own ideas how to manage it. Why they wouldn’t or couldn’t have had the contractor do it (charge for domains) a long time ago, I have no idea. Doesn’t seem like something that would have to be postponed until the contract was over, but obviously I have no insight into the details of the matter.

Since I can’t see any other reference to it, I want to mention I’m using openmediavault and export smb mounts for my windows computers and NFS for Linux. It is running in a VM in proxmox. Works well enough for me. It is my in house backup destination, and my Plex media files storage (plex is running in a container on the same proxmox host).

Like most and probably every other mentioned solution, accessing the nas/shared storage is not more difficult than just opening windows explorer on windows and selecting the network location, etc. I’m sure it is easy on Mac as well, but I don’t use apple products myself.

Plexamp is my primary music playback in the car commute if I’m not listening to an audio book. Love it.

Proxmox with a bunch of small dedicated lxc containers (running small Ubuntu lxcs mostly). It works for me anyway, though I don’t use any of the rr programs. My Plex lxc gets its Media files from an openmediavault NFS mount (Running in a VM instead of lxc), and I use smb file sharing for my windows desktop to access the same files. Your mileage may vary, what works for me night not be for someone else.

Tea and two slices of bread and cheese. Sometimes a bit of orange juice with it. Alternatively, yogurt with some granola,but not very frequently.
