Objects in Space

Yep! Scanned documents and backups of photos, personal stuff and the families stuff. I host a few game servers too I guess for friends. Running great and more than enough power for everything I do, and I have as much redundancy as I can afford.

I found TrueNas scale to be what fits my needs but I tried unraid (trial) and open media vault first. Also not this is not my first rodeo as I’ve done “from scratch” Ubuntu, and bsd.

I just built a server from older parts off eBay. An i7 2600, Asus p8z77, a Silverstone c382 nas case, 32gb of 1333, a pny P600 video card and a 9200+8i hba card. Then I used TrueNas on an SSD and another SSD for docker containers and cache.

4k Plex streaming no issues, system is fast and the only issue I had was the old Asus boards don’t use pwm fan control.

Open Media vault just confused the heck out of me, I ran it for a few months and donated money to the team for their effort but it was too restricting for my needs. It was definitely a capable nas os but it didn’t feel like it fit my style which is more hands on.

TrueNas has snapshots and replication. I run 4 12tb disks for my live data, striped raid 1’s. Then I have two more 12tb’s in a raid 1 for my replication read only. It’s not enough space if I filled my live drives but I havent needed more yet for the backup. And I can always expand my backup set.

I also have a qnap tr004 das with some random drives in a hardware raid 5. That’s my third copy I do every so often.

The funny part is I didn’t want to pay for a Synology but ended up spending more on parts. However it’s incredibly powerful for what it does so I’m using that as my “happy little mistake”. It’s going to last a long time and run as many services that I could possibly want as a home user.

Makes sense. I didn’t get it from what was posted but I understand now from the replies. Thanks.

I don’t get why it’s a trick either. That’s the catchy headline right? But no word on if the changes apply into the past or it’s just lawyers trying to protect themselves for next time. It’s an email with new TOS and the ability to opt out.

No it’s not good for users and yes it’s a shitty 30 day notice in an email even I didn’t read yet because I’m so irritated with them.

But reading the patron post didn’t tell me how it was a trick and neither did the mastodon link. However the replies were good and helped fill me in on some details I wasn’t aware of yet on the actual breach. https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/111531294441702837

Not sure why the down votes on a perfectly acceptable question.

Ha! Absolutely correct and also just to drive the point home, “a few years” means 15 years.

I run Heimdall too. Simple and looks good. Let’s my gf easily get to my stuff.

I actually read about 50% of it, but something about the writing style was not working for me and I was focused more on how it was written than what was written. Stopped reading it. I actually like the movie and wanted the details only a book can provide.

Anyway maybe not relevant to you but if I don’t like it, I don’t read it. Too many other things to enjoy rather than trudging through something I don’t.
