EXE files don't really compress well, plus the files should already be internally compressed when the exe is built.

On a somewhat related note, why do so many open source projects give me a zip file with a single exe inside it instead of just the exe directly?

Shouldn't, fixed that typo hah

Shouldn't matter since you're running different firmware it sounds like.

Wouldn't a HDD based system be like 1/10th the price? I don't know if HDDs are going away any time soon.

Tapes are still sold in pretty high densities, don't have to wait!

Thanks, I'll check it next time startup takes awhile, the only thing standing out from my current log (wasn't a low startup this time) is loading images took about 3 seconds.

I'm really curious how you expect someone to make a living if they offer everything for free.

It does seem a bit better now on 15.3, but essentially on 15.x often the first time I start it up in the morning after my PC has been in sleep state all night, it will sit for 10-20 seconds on "Loading connections". Starts after that first one are only a few seconds like normal.

Is there a log file I can poke through to see if anything stand out next time it happens? I only have about 20 connections in total.

Regardless I love the software, it's very useful even for my small set of self hosting stuff I use it for!

Thats correct but that is fine for the majority of setups.

What about using the default docker bridge networking instead of macvlan? You can access docker containers from the host, they can talk to each other if on the same bridge network, and there's nothing hardcoded into the docker compose files.

The last few updates in particular seem to have very long launch times
