This might be fun for some of you. I just brought my iMac back from the grave! I’ll give you the symptoms and you try and guess what the problem was, I’ll reveal it on the show. Symptoms: would run fine for an unpredictable amount of time and then would power off by itself. Couldn’t reproduce the issue because it was so unpredictable. It would shut down faster if using something like Adobe Premier. This is a standard iMac with all external devices disconnected. Only user replaced part was replacing the spindle drive with an SSD. Took it to the Apple Store but they wouldn’t touch it since I replaced the drive myself. I had tried reinstalling the os which didn’t help and ended up getting a new computer about a year ago. While setting up my UnRaid a thought occurred to me and I dug the iMac out of the storage. Sure enough, the fix worked and everything is running smooth. Anyone guess what I did? Hint: I didn’t not open the iMac or replace any part. Another hint: I learned this is only an issue with Macs.

Planning on mentioning this setup on one of our next podcasts but I got NextCloud up and running on my UnRaid box. A very powerful personal cloud service. This guys tutorial covers a lot of useful tips I did not find anywhere else. If you use the tutorial make sure to follow his other tutorial on setting up a reverse proxy with LetsEncrypt.
