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.

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

Same thing with big cats:

A Jaguar or Leopard just looks and acts like a big house cat… but it can crush your skull with one bite and can drag your dead body 30 feet vertically up a tree.

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.

They definitely are, I have been using 1.6 for a while, it’s just a pain in the ass to keep updating SKSE mods or those mods that support 1.6 but only older versions because the authors don’t make mods anymore.

So, they’re giving it the Skyrim treatment. I think it’s received about 10 version updates since AE launched like 2 years ago. I ended up downloading a modlist that was 1.5.97 (the original version of Skyrim SE) and ended up sticking with it since it’s future proofed.

I think what’s even more annoying is when you actually do use the app, every community you visit, it pops up a notification that says “turn on notifications so you don’t miss updates from this community!”

I’m going to guess enabling “desktop mode” in Chrome (idk if other browsers have it) would probably work as well, but would throw off the layout most likely.

Oh nice, I have a Carbon X1. I knew that fprintd has worked for a while, and has allowed me to enroll fingerprints, but has never successfully worked for authentication.

Formatting fixes

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 🤣

What is painful about using KDE in Arch? Fedora supports KDE as well, just look up “Fedora KDE Respin” it’s just not the default DE.

Any Linux distro that you choose will almost always support any DE that you choose, the difference between distros isn’t that much anymore.

It looks like the database is either missing or corrupted, try to unzip one of the backups in the backups folder, stop radarr, replace the current database files with the unzipped backup files and start radarr.

If it didn’t work you can just remove the config and database files and set it up again.
