Home Server, NAS & Media Software Watch

Track home servers and self-hosted media for US households. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: release, feature and pricing changes at Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Kodi, Home Assistant, Immich, Nextcloud, Photoprism and Audiobookshelf; firmware releases, drive compatibility rules, license changes and security advisories rated CVSS 7 or higher at Synology, QNAP, UGREEN, Asustor, TerraMaster, Unraid, TrueNAS and Proxmox with the patched versions; active ransomware and botnet campaigns against NAS devices with the fix; hard drive and SSD price drops of 20 percent or more and Backblaze reliability data releases; Docker, Tailscale, Cloudflare Tunnel, WireGuard and remote access changes; Plex Pass and lifetime price changes; ISP port blocking, CGNAT and upload policy changes at the major providers; and backup and cloud sync tool changes at Backblaze, Duplicati, restic and Arq. Prefer vendor release notes and security advisories, CISA, price-history tools, Backblaze and established tech reporting; ignore forum speculation and affiliate roundups. Put the product first in the title and state whether action is required. Use high severity for an actively exploited flaw, a ransomware campaign, or a price or license change with a lock-in window closing within 30 days. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, affected versions, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
