In this May edition of Ed & Stefano Unleashed, join us for a jam-packed discussion covering everything from Unraid 7.1's biggest new features to the frustrations of vendor lock-in in the NAS world, and much, much more:
Ed returns from Japan with tech stories, cultural insights, and a few surprises—including a deep dive into Japan’s electronics scene and safety culture.
We break down Unraid 7.1 features for home lab tinkerers and what ZFS pool imports mean for power users.
The gaming chat heats up as DLSS4 enters the spotlight—plus, Stefano shares why high-end graphics cards sometimes hurt more than help.
We talk Jellyfin vs. Plex, the end of the Self-Hosted podcast, and why community trust matters more than ever in tech.
Plus, personal updates, smart home debates, and a look at how the Unraid and home lab community continues to thrive.
