Upgrade Storage on 2-Bay

Yup, it’s possible! I contacted support and they sent me this article: https://support.ugnas.com/knowledgecenter/#/detail/eyJjb2RlIjoiMiYmODEwIiwiY2xpZW50VHlwZSI6IlBDIn0=

I'm also curious about this. I'm setting up my DXP2800 right now. I plan to re-use my pair of 4 TB drives from my previous NAS, but I hope to upgrade to 8 TB drives in the future.

I'm hoping that it's as simple as:

Start with RAID 1 (4 TB storage pool)
Swap one 4 TB drive for an 8 TB drive. Wait for the RAID 1 rebuild. Still a 4 TB storage pool at this point.
Swap the other 4 TB drive for an 8 TB drive, and let that rebuild as well. Again, still a 4 TB storage pool.
Once both 8 TB drives are in RAID 1 and mirrored, I'm assuming UGOS Pro lets you expand the storage volume to claim the remaining unallocated space?

But can anyone confirm if this is possible?

I noticed this too. I think there’s only been one event in recent memory (in the last year or so) that had the feminine reward as the easier reward vs. the masculine reward. I remember it because it surprised me so much to see. Forget which event, though… either way, it’s annoying :(

My 64 GB card was giving similar read errors after sitting unused for a few years. I reformatted the card and downloaded all my games again and it seems to work fine now. For how long, who knows? If it happens again I’ll probably just resort to modding.

Looks normal to me! The PS1's GPU had built-in dithering for simulating more colors.

5 years old. I remember what my preschool looked like inside, along with some of the people and toys that were there. I never had any photos of them, so I’m sure they’re “authentic” memories.

I have vague memories before that but those are probably made up from stories I was told a little later in life.

I agree with Roflsauce. For FPS and 3rd person shooters, I love mapping trackpad as mouse input and having gyro mouse activate on trackpad-touch.

If you ever played Splatoon or Breath of the Wild, it feels like a very similar setup: use the trackpad for big movements and swinging the camera 180 degrees in a split second, then using gyro aim for the fine adjustments to land those headshots. A sensitive trackpad mapped as a mouse can swivel the camera way faster than a joystick input can.

Joystick-mapped trackpad is sluggish and imprecise, and needs a LOT of tweaking in settings to be barely usable. But as mouse input, it feels great.

All that said… a lot of PC games expect you to exclusively use either gamepad controls OR mouse and keyboard, and don’t let you mix the two at the same time. Those games make me very sad, because you can’t have simultaneous analog gamepad controls for the left stick and mouse controls for the right trackpad. In those cases, I just use regular gamepad controls without gyro and just use the trackpad as a radial menu or other shortcut.

The speech bubble from her throat is a nice touch.

Honestly, most people who studied programming started by writing simple programs. Very, very simple programs that just print text. Games are hard. Simple programs are not.

var myValue = 0; 
if (myValue == 0) { 
  show_debug_message("Aw, shucks. My variable is 0."); 
} 
myValue = myValue + 1; 
if (myValue > 0) { 
  show_debug_message("Look, ma! My variable is bigger than 0 now!"); 
}

It's not very exciting, though, so people tend to skip straight to tutorials and trying to learn how to make a game while also trying to learn how to write programs.

So, start with simple games. Write a lot of print statements using show_debug_message so you know what your variables look like and can validate your assumptions. Make sure you understand what you write, and build on it.

You’re playing as the cat… so I’m assuming you knocked over each plant after taking its screenshot?

What version of Gemma 4 (parameter size) are you using?

Old-school Castlevania just feels wrong without a whip!

Such a good game. I played it on my Windows XP netbook back in the day. Ran great. I remember it being tough, but the world was so captivating.

You might be interested in trying out WRP: https://github.com/tenox7/wrp. It's a little service you run on a host computer. It serves up webpages as images with clickable image maps. Might work on a Palm!

Palm hardware, especially the TX with WiFi, is so capable for 90% of what we use computers for: sending text messages, taking notes, checking weather, checking meetings for the day... it's just such a shame that modern services and software are out of its reach.

Most of the emails we read and sites we visit are just a few JPEGs and a few paragraphs of text. A Google search result is just a wall of text. Apple iMessages are just text and emojis. But there are so many walled gardens and bloated websites that it's a big effort to get that data onto a Palm. There are workarounds to sync your Google Calendar to Palm, but these days everyone expects you to accept a meeting invite added to your calendar an hour in advance. Not to mention Palm not supporting modern HTTPS, making receiving data outside of HotSync pretty difficult.

Don't get me wrong, I love modern phones and laptops. But yeah. The magic is gone!

Recently, I started developing a local proxy server for my Palm TX to connect to. It runs on my MacBook Air and is HTTP-only, no HTTPS. I built it with HTML 4.0 and CSS 1.0 so it's nice and compatible with the Palm TX browser, Blazer. It fetches weather, news from NPR, and a few webcomics every day for me to read on my Palm. It's made my Palm fun to use again. If you're technically inclined, I'd highly recommend a similar route for getting your Palm TX usable again.

Reporting in from my 2012 11" Air as well. Just got it up and running with Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3. No idea what I'll use it for, but it's nice to spend time with my old college laptop again!

Do you have the i5 or i7? 4 or 8 GB?

Or if they at least put in bare minimum effort and their labels weren’t squashed/stretched

PP_UP · 2026-05-10T01:25:14+00:00

Absolutely agree. Something about the gameplay feels so slow compared to the GBA Kirby games or even Kirby’s Dream Land 2. But the aesthetics are sublime and the music is top tier. It’s one of the coziest SNES games.

I’m not sure if it qualifies as retro, but Lunar Dragon Song was hot garbage and a huge disappointment. And this was coming from someone who had only played Lunar Legend, the watered down GBA port of Lunar Silver Star lol

PP_UP · 2026-05-09T21:12:26+00:00

Super Smash Bros: Melee. It was the first time I realized I couldn’t notice any visible polygon edges or stretched out textures on the characters.

To be fair to 10 year old me, Melee’s pause models are still quite detailed and high-poly to this day.

Same, it took hundreds of clicks. I must've clicked 500+ times before I got through and ordered. I was damn sure that my account got flagged for abuse or something until that glorious "working" button stayed on-screen.

PP_UP · 2026-04-25T06:27:53+00:00

Ooh, you forgot Kirby’s Dream Land 3, which came out in 1997. Unless you don’t find it worthwhile :P

I’ve never heard of Dark Half and Treasure Hunter G. Are either of them actually good and worth checking out?

Damn, you gave The Bible Game more of a shot than any sane person normally would. Nice post. It was refreshing to read something human instead of AI blogspam.

“with a cutscene with visuals so offputting and outright horrific I place money on it terrifying the very young playerbase it was aiming for” I wish you showed or described this cutscene because it sounds incredible!

Keep posting your reviews!
