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
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’m a Linux System Engineer and was the only one in my team that knew Go. I decided to update our mess of old shell scripts for post-provisioning and my boss suggested that I do it in Python so it can easily by edited/fixed by anyone on the team. I spent like two days attempting to do it in Python and then gave up because it would mean transferring a bunch of source code around, installing dependencies and just general annoyances.
In the end the Go project ended up being about 1300 lines of code across a few source files, but it could act as both the client and server (necessary for our hosts in our DMZ to hit our AWX server) with a single binary and no additional dependencies. It was also only like 10 MB.
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 🤣
Umm, I’m assuming you’re not aware that it isn’t illegal to host container images for pirating software, or Even to have it actively running. What’s illegal is obtaining copyrighted content.
Oh. My. God.
I’ve been using it for years and never got that either 😮
You didn’t even need MySQL since it defaults to SQLite for smaller instances.
You don’t even need Apache, you can run it with Nginx or Caddy, all you need is a webserver that supports interactions with php-fpm.
I had an interview the other day and was surprised to hear that The University of Miami is actually using Nix for about 16 of their machines. I haven’t used Nix yet, but thanks to everyone talking about it I could tell them the benefits of using it haha
I haven’t used one in like 8 years, IIRC the X2 or X3 had an 8 core Exynos, they’ve obviously changed it since then.
Thank you, you may proceed!
The thing that annoys me the most is how it cares about whitespace/carriage returns. I remember back in college when I was taking a CS class, learning Python and writing the Code on a Windows PC, emailing it to myself, and then attempting to run the code on Linux. Before I learned about the carriage return conversions, I remember having to rewrite about 75 lines of code before I got it to run. 🤬
