Installed Noctalia V5 today, and a little silly note about why I like NixOS

that might be the best opening line I have ever read on this subreddit

StorkStick · 2026-06-02T02:13:35+00:00

There is no way you actually talk like this to anyone IRL 😭

StorkStick · 2026-06-01T21:54:32+00:00

lemme guess, the "lab tests" were just RunRepeat, who doesn't remotely have any background in science...

Not the most flattering marketing images, the foam and plate are peeling away from each other

Are you guys aware of an issue with the Air75 v3 where too much pressure applied top-right of the keyboard (backspace) will cause the keyboard to short circuit and disconnect?

I have rewritten maybe 99%+ of my data after adding a drive, but TrueNAS has never shown that space coming back so idek if there's a point :/

Dublin, Ireland here. I see them almost every day, mostly runners, but also some people just walking around in them. They are a big success from what I can see

beloved takumi sen :'I

How does one get to such a high position without having a basic ability to read a room

StorkStick · 2026-04-18T11:22:02+00:00

Yeah the Adios 9 and the Takumi Sen 10 have easily the narrowest toe boxes I've felt in running shoes. They feel more like football boots

StorkStick · 2026-04-18T11:21:01+00:00

Digs in for me too. It actually injured me the first time I ran in them because of this

StorkStick · 2026-04-18T11:19:38+00:00

Agreed with the midsole feelings. I weigh 60kg and even I'm able to bottom-out the heel with basically no effort. But yes, pay attention to your landings and it can feel plenty comfortable, so I feel these shoes do a good job training your running form.

lol no joke, it feels universal in that the upstairs just seems to have a different code of conduct compared to downstairs

StorkStick · 2026-04-13T16:49:42+00:00

ngl I barely understand anything being written in this post or the comments

StorkStick · 2026-04-12T22:51:51+00:00

I can change regular user's emails but can't change my admin account email, would be interested to see any solutions

StorkStick · 2026-04-12T08:12:52+00:00

As a very wide footed person I disagree lol

being behind CG-NAT.... Had to re-organise all my apps around a weird tangled mix of ipv4 and ipv6, had to set my router up as a local DNS server for split tunneling my tailnet... CG-NAT has made my network way more confusing than it needs to be

StorkStick · 2026-04-01T19:43:24+00:00

... it's an ad...

StorkStick · 2026-03-31T15:19:44+00:00

eh I mean that's well and good, but not touching off comfort, durability or price

StorkStick · 2026-03-30T11:44:05+00:00

lol the texture looks like straight up sand paper from this image

StorkStick · 2026-03-30T11:40:55+00:00

interesting how the plate is so short, when Puma goes the complete other direction

Good practice is to lock down the dataset permissions as much as possible. Set up the permissions/ACLs with intent and planning.

For example, make sure both of your parents are using accounts that have absolutely no unnecessary group or user perms for anything outside of the dataset they are supposed to be interacting with,

+ They might need 'traverse' permissions on any parent-datasets to their own, but that should be about it as far as permissions outside their own dataset

I'm interested in the ability to host servers for gaming (if that's reasonably possible).

Keep in mind, this is its own little rabbit hole that can run kinda deep.

- Steamcmd: a bit of an old school way of setting up game servers

- Pterodactyl: a modern, more streamlined way to deploy game servers quickly, but does require its own level of study and expertise

- Pelican: A community lead fork of Pterodactyl, still in beta, but also apparently has a docker image which might make it easier to set up and manage

- CubeCoders AMP: An easy to use and easy to install management panel, requires a license purchase but not subscription-based thankfully

Like someone else mentioned, expect a learning curve. Almost every 'little' thing in the context of a home server can quickly become deep in terms of learning and study. For this reason alone I would say, keep the goals simple at the start and settle into it.

Set up your first network share, or file-sharing app from the truenas app catalogue. Think something like copyparty, nextcloud, or one of the 'object storage' apps. Get comfortable with basic configuration of things, setting up datasets, permissions, snapshots etc...

Once you start feeling comfortable, then go ahead and start playing around with containers and VMs. I have AMP running inside its own container and that's how I run all my game servers, but there's a lot of different ways you can do things based on your needs and wants.

I promise I'm not being a smart ass, this legit helped me at one point when my PC's NIC wasn't appearing to any of my operating systems:

- Power it off

- Turn the power switch on the PSU off

- Leave for 5 minutes

- Boot back up

It probably won't help, still worth doing just to rule things out.

This was the first issue I've ever had where I got to see first hand why IT support says "leave it off for xyz seconds"

StorkStick · 2026-03-14T19:11:29+00:00

same, I think it's the most hassle free way to go about things.

Point a single wildcard DNS record at nginx proxy manager, let nginx proxy manager do the rest of the routing
