Was it a democratic though?? I don't think it was. It mentions a conversation from someone to a democrat, but with no context as to why. Then says "it's unclear who" actually had the hot mic.

Anyway, it's a garbage article. Although the headline of the article and this post are different too so that may have thrown us off.

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.

Love this game!

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.

This article told me little to nothing, so I went looking and bleeping computer says it they aren't listing the devices for security reasons. Guessing hikivision or dahua oem but who knows.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-botnet-malware-exploits-two-zero-days-to-infect-nvrs-and-routers/Akamai's

Quotes from this article:

"Akamai's Security Intelligence Response Team (SIRT) first discovered the botnet in October 2023, noticing unusual activity on a rarely used TCP port targeting their honeypots."

And

"targeted devices were linked to a specific NVR manufacturer, not named in the report for security reasons"

Out of curiosity, how many magazines do you subscribe or have you subscribed to on Google news?

My feeling is that real or digital magazines are as useful as their newspaper counterpart but I don't want that either. A web page with content is perfectly acceptable for the same purpose.

And if he said "well there are lots of different types of governments and we can all work together" or some non answer then the headlines would be "biden refuses to call him a dictator". It's a no win so the best course was to say it and smooth it over later because maybe it signals they can both be truthful.

Lots of good came out of this meeting overall in my opinion.

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.

 

I'm having trouble deciding which software platform fits my hardware. This is not a standard "what's the best" type of post, as ultimately they will all run containers so it's more "I have this stuff, what would you do in my situation?".

Not my first rodeo, familiar with linux and docker, I got tired of running commands to keep a plex service running and switched to Windows 11 which just worked. My new goal is to find a balance where I can run most containers but not have to fiddle with every config file in cli constantly. I almost bought a QNAP NAS but thought why spend another $500 when I have a nice box working fine now.

Hardware:

  • Mini PC with Xeon E-2144G 3.6ghz, 16GB RAM, 2x 1TB SSD
  • QNAP TR-004 dumb USB DAS with 32TB in a hardware R5. Not ideal but it's what I have at the moment. About 6 TB currently in use.
  • Want to run local smtp for notifications, tautulli, plex (just me as user) and a few others apps like immich, wireguard and become more self-sufficient with cloud storage/passwords.

I'm testing Open media vault right now and OMV seems fine I guess. Probably a good fit balancing convenience with capabilities. I'm trying to keep it simple.

Unraid is enticing but I have a DAS with RAID capabilities already and matched drives, and also no reason to use a USB stick for an OS drive when I have perfectly good SSD's, right?

Truenas is bsd which i'm not familiar with, I just don't see the advantage for me but maybe I'm just not seeing why this is would fit my needs better.

Am I missing others? Something I didn't think of? Maybe it's easy, I pick OMV and move forward.

Thanks for any advice or input.
