I know you have been busy, but have you seen my recent posts about the PeakD Plugin? That might be something you want to look into for your node. It looks like you have gotten some good stuff over the past year. I am tempted to pick up one of those new Macs just to have one. I don't think I can justify it though. I bought a Synology NAS a while ago for backups at my site. I have a pretty robust system now.

Hey man! No I haven't seen the post - I'll have a look tomorrow after work.
I hear good things about Synology. My biggest issue right now is that I have been using Crashplan for cloud backups for about 15 years, but it has become crap and can't handle the size of my backups. It started backing up at only 1-2 megabit per second and will take years to finish now. I am working on getting backblaze set up but I have to do a bit of rigmarole to get the cheaper non-server price. I have like 20-30TB to backup so I want the unlimited space.
The new mac is working fantastic with my current workflow going back and forth from Davinci Resolve to GPU intensive AI upscaling software. Technically I can get faster results with the GPU part upscaling with RTX 4090s, but for the rest of my work, the M4 just blows everything else away. It's a very pleasant computer to work on!
That's cool! I have been really impressed with the M chips since Apple launched them. I know there were some security issues with the earlier versions, but the performance is just phenomenal. I think Synology is kind of easy mode for a lot of people. If you have the skills (which I know you do), you can probably piece it together better and cheaper. @themarkymark turned me on to BackBlaze and I have it set up as an additional offsite backup for all of my servers. I think I pay like $10 per month and it stores all of my archives from Veeam.
