I like to walk around with a open bathrobe, hope no one walks in.

This should help explain it.

I used this guide for a nvidia shield to de-bloat the OS. You may be able to follow the de-bloat instructions here for any other android device.

Comes down to personal preferences really. Personally I have been running truenas since the freebsd days and its always been on bare metal. There would be no reason you could not virtualize it, and I have seen it done.

I do run a pfsense virtualized on my proxmox VM machine. It runs great once I figured out all the hardware pass through settings. I do the same with GPU pass through for a retro gaming machine on the same proxmox machine.

The only thing I dont like is that when you reboot your proxmox machine the PCI devices dont retain their mapping ids. So a PCI NIC card I have in the machine causes the pfsense machine not to start.

The one thing to take into account with Unraid vs TrueNAS is the difference between how they do RAID. Unraid always drives of different sizes in its setup, but it does not provide the same redundancy as TrueNAS. Truenas requires disk be the same size inside a vdev, but you can have multiple vdevs in one large pool. One vdev can be 5 drives of 10tb and the other vdev can be 5 drives of 2tb. You can always swap any drive in truenas with a larger drive, but it will only be as big as the smallest disk in the vdev.

Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz with 16gb ram 165TB of storage. Motherboard is a Asus Delux 10+ years old. And a 10gb NIC. All inside a fractal Design XL case.

The hardware is by all means not top of the line, but you dont need much for a NAS.

I personally run truenas on a standalone system to act as my NAS network wide. It never goes offline and is up near 24/7 except when I need to pull a dead drive.

Unraid is my go to right now for self hosting as its learning curve for docker containers is fairly easy. I find I reboot the system from time to time so its not something I use for a daily NAS solution.

Proxmox I run as well on a standalone system. This is my go to for VM instances. Really easy to spin up any OS I would need for any purpose. I run things like home assistant for example on this machine. And its uptime is 24/7.

Each operating system has its advantages, and all three could potentially do the same things. Though I do find a containered approche prevents long periods of downtime if one system goes offline.

On another note all new homes and buildings no longer need fire alarms or sprinklers as deaths related to fire have gone down.

Buildings are not burning down as much as they once did. So no need to spend money and time on fire safety and protection equipment. /s

Microsoft in a hurry patched their console to prevent further hacking/jailbreaking of the console.

OMG yes!!! I have been waiting for this for toooo long. Don’t fuck it up.

I have tested both lingding and linkwarden. Lingding was easy to use and did the basics in bookmark management. Though I settled on linkwarden for its saving of webpages in different formats with folder and subfolder organisation in the UI.

Both are good options, but linkwarden seem to be more power user focused.

New fave sub!

Never too late or too soon to go out and improve aspects of your community.

Simple items like picking up a few peices of litter on your streets, in your local parks, or on any nearby trails. Every little bit helps, and the more local residents in the area do the same thing, the more beautiful and inviting your city becomes.

When something gets removed from steam and it’s in your steam library but not installed, is it gone forever?

2 new dresser legs, a handle for a dryer.

Pretty much replacement parts for things around the house as much as possible.

I am even in the process of printing replacement parts for the 3d printer as well as backups in the event something breaks.

You could use a throwaway email and signup for an account. The account creation is a little tricky if you don’t use a “real name” but a name generator website may help in this, or use a combination of two tv character names.

Also use a privacy oriented web browser that signs you out each time, something like mule for android or librewolf for desktops.

One thing not to do is use the FB app or the messenger app on your phone, instead do everything on a browser.

I would find this interesting and useful as well, especially as one of the things holding me back from ditching chrome all together is all my bookmarks.

Would love to somehow import them all into linkwarden to have a centralized bookmark location.

Seems like the N100 is your option if you are only choosing between these two. Personally I am in the same both as others here, where desktop hardware is my preference at the moment especially if I can find combo deals for mombo/cpu.

Though my recommendation is to consider a board that would support PCIe for a potential LSI HBA card, stay away from any other sata expansion cards unless you don’t value your data.

If you do ever pick up a LSI HBA card with support for either 8/12/24 drives I would also state to plug the whole pool into this card and not mix and match between onboard SATA connections and the card.

A boot drive can still connect to a SATA connection on the board as it not part of the pool.
