Threadripper already accomplished all of this years ago. My TR2970WX has 24 cores/48 threads, 48 PCI-E lanes, and it supports ECC and non-ECC RAM. My AsRock Rack board has BMC support as well.

The Threadripper series was the perfect workstation CPU. I’ve had mine for a few years and it can handle anything I throw at it, it can easily transcode 2-3 4K videos while doing multiple other things.

It wasn’t cheap though, it was like $650 on sale, originally like a grand or so.

Yeah, but I should be able to have them separate as well like I can in every other Linux distro. In TrueNAS they force you to have them in separate subnets for some reason.

Russia, or possibly China and North Korea.

I agree, the VM management could be easier. I don’t understand why I can’t have two NICs in the same subnet as long as they have different IPs.

The bigger annoyance for me was there was no way to tell what disk is attached where in the VM device listings since it only shows the boot order and not labels or paths.

Q1: No it shouldn’t matter as long as you didn’t import the pool using device names (sda, sdb, etc…). If you’re using labels or UUIDs (the better option for portability sake). If they do happen to use device names, just export the pool and then reimport it on the same system using labels or UUIDs.

Q2: It should work just fine assuming you’re not using device names for your pools

Q3: it’s just as robust as FreeBSD’s implementation. Once again, see the answer to Q1.

Q4: IMO virtualizing your NAS just adds more headaches and performance overhead compared to running it on bare metal.

Out of my years running TrueNAS on and off, I’ve always had issues with it when doing anything other than using it purely as a storage box. I tried 24.04 a few weeks ago, thinking that most of the issues I had originally when SCALE was launched would be resolved. They weren’t. So I went back to Arch w/OpenZFS…again

…but so will the a large part of the US

Two words: Nuclear War

5 TB for $150 seems awfully high (didn’t click the link). I’m on my first year (and did it before they doubled their first year prices) and I got 50 TB for $500.

1 TB is $15 for the first year.

Yep, iDrive is the way to go, before they raised their prices I got 50 TB for a year for $500. I moved everything back locally, now I’m just going to use them for off-site backups. You can’t beat $15 for 1 TB for a year.

I think you should start with the basics of Linux instead of diving into the deep end 😉

That’s confused me as well. It probably did a kernel update and then triggered update-grub.

I love his wig, it’s like they’re trying to look British but just went to the dollar store.

Just another day in America! Calais, France to Dover, England “only” 29 miles. So, yeah, that’s long in a tiny rubber boat, but it’s not like they’re crossing it at the widest point, which is 150 miles.

We clearly need to take back control and hack the planet 😉

I know this is a month old, but this was randomly recommended to me in YouTube and I watched their “ad”, even though it’s free to install on a Pi or any other device that can run Debian or Ubuntu.

It works well in a Pi, but their documentation is out of date, and accessing the web GUI isn’t as easy as it should be, especially for new users of Linux. There’s no way to (officially) set a static IP in the OS. I searched their forums, and followed their guide, which didn’t apply anymore since they’re using NetworkManager now. I applied a static IP via that…and FUBAR’d the webUI. A simple reflash of the uSD card doesn’t work either since there are hidden partitions or something because the settings still persisted after two DDs. I had to zero out the first few megs and reflash it in order to get it to work again.

That being said. I’m going to give it to a friend as a no hassle/small footprint/low power piracy box and Plex server.

I’ve been swapping between Arch with OpenZFS and FreeNAS/TrueNAS for probably 5-7 years now. In fact, I’m doing that right now! I think SCALE is finally stable enough to my liking…but we’ll see.

ZFS becomes a pain to manage via the CLI when you have more than a few disks, a nice web GUI takes the pain away.

I’m assuming you’ve never built a computer before because even 32 GB of RAM costs more than $150 🤣

It definitely has negative effects for everyone, but teens/tweens are the most susceptible to it.

I guess we should say that it’s an “intensifier”. If you get bullied at school, it no longer stays at school. If there’s gossip or someone does something embarrassing it’s no longer forgotten, but quickly plastered all over the Internet. I graduated high school in 2004, so I didn’t have to deal with any of this.

It’s clickbait. There was an article like this a while ago about teens and suicide and they were like, “we have no idea why this is happening!”, even though for years people were saying social media was harming teens.
