      <description>&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;rsquo;t have a public IP, so my solution is  SSH tunnel + reverse Proxy on cloud server.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h2 class=&#34;relative group&#34;&gt;🍎Mac Mini Side 
    &lt;div id=&#34;mac-mini-side&#34; class=&#34;anchor&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    
    &lt;span
        class=&#34;absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100&#34;&gt;
        &lt;a class=&#34;group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700&#34;
            style=&#34;text-decoration-line: none !important;&#34; href=&#34;#mac-mini-side&#34; aria-label=&#34;Anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;        
    
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a server, my Mac won&amp;rsquo;t sleep, so change the setting firstly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre tabindex=&#34;0&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo systemsetup -setcomputersleep Never        # never sleep
sudo systemsetup -setdisplaysleep 10            # display will sleep in 10 min
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use autossh to avoid timeout:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre tabindex=&#34;0&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;brew install autossh
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;Add the configuration below in &lt;code&gt;~/.ssh/config&lt;/code&gt;， Mac Mini will send package per 30 seconds to keep the connection alive.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>NAS: Network Attachment Storage</title>

      <description>&lt;h2 class=&#34;relative group&#34;&gt;Hardware 
    &lt;div id=&#34;hardware&#34; class=&#34;anchor&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    
    &lt;span
        class=&#34;absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100&#34;&gt;
        &lt;a class=&#34;group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700&#34;
            style=&#34;text-decoration-line: none !important;&#34; href=&#34;#hardware&#34; aria-label=&#34;Anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;        
    
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I went with the UNITEK 3373BBK for one of my drive enclosures—and honestly, it wasn’t the best decision.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first big letdown? The bandwidth tops out at just 5Gbps. That’s fine for basic tasks, but definitely underwhelming if you’re dealing with high-speed storage or large file transfers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even worse, it doesn’t support S.M.A.R.T passthrough, which makes monitoring drive health a hassle. That was a big deal-breaker for me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
