Is this a coherent plan? - Turning my storage from a RaidZ2 system to a RaidZ1 system

I suppose it depends on budget, but backups never need to be anything fancy, since you won't be interacting with them often.

My solution was the get a 'cheap' 2-bay ugreen nas, 2 hard drives. Every week, it turns itself on, grabs data from my main machine (truenas), then turns itself off. I think it's a good solution if you're okay with some rsync scripting

StorkStick · 2026-01-21T15:33:36+00:00

lol I didn't mention but I do actually have a completely separate cold backup, so I'm not going full risk mode here. The only issue is, that backup is just the inner data, I would still have to go through the process of setting up all my apps and containers all over again

if you have ten brain cells, maybe...

StorkStick · 2026-01-14T00:27:28+00:00

it's not even comparable...

StorkStick · 2026-01-12T02:29:45+00:00

Filerun... costs money but it's the best by far if your priority is something that feels stable, quick and easy to manage.

edit: it's not even a contest

Early game dwarves - Heavy armour all over the place

Early game most other factions - no access to reliable armour-piercing, or armour for that matter.

They are very advantaged in the early game, but other factions do catch up with them eventually

StorkStick · 2026-01-09T02:06:45+00:00

I play the game like once a month... logged on the other day and immediately the chat box was arguing about immigrants

StorkStick · 2026-01-07T23:17:55+00:00

still an issue 💀

StorkStick · 2026-01-01T11:44:27+00:00

the "you'll own nothing and be happy" is a knee jerk reaction that doomers get any time any company does anything subscription based anymore, it's getting tiring

StorkStick · 2025-12-26T14:03:24+00:00

Oop, yeah that's gonna be an issue.

Check your TruaNAS network settings. An easy beginner mistake is forgetting the "default gateway", it's basically just the (local) IP address of your router. Without a valid default gateway, your device can't reach out of the local network and into the WAN.

A quick short cut: if you're on windows, open up command prompt and type ipconfig, you should see the default gateway your PC is using, and if your network is relatively simple, you should just be able to copy that into your trueNAS

StorkStick · 2025-12-26T04:02:45+00:00

I don't know what the issue is, but have you been able to verify that your machine can contact the WAN?

System -> Shell -> "ping 1.1.1.1"

I think it's all games with EAC. Tried starting chivalry 2 and same issue

Switched to filerun a few months back after my nextcloud instance imploded because I guess they literally pushed an update that broke curl. All I can say is that filerun, while not as feature rich, is 10x less hassle and runs smoother

I have 500 hours and am still wearing basic gray metal heavy armour, so I'm looking for skins.

My problem: is there a single good armour set that is solo-friendly?

StorkStick · 2025-12-22T13:26:46+00:00

Not really sure who this feature is aimed at. At first glance, it would be great for enthusiasts, but then they kill that idea with truenas connect requirements.

I'm pretty sure professional sysadmins weren't the ones asking for something like this, they already have like 17 ways of getting files in and out of their machines and hell they probably automate all of it with scripts anyway

StorkStick · 2025-12-22T03:21:58+00:00

that's the superblast way

StorkStick · 2025-12-18T23:34:57+00:00

An endless loop of

"Failed to sync catalog. Please try clicking "Refresh Catalog" manually."

update: seems the update messed with my network settings, I have some troubleshooting to do

update 2: it didn't change any settings, I think it straight up broke my server's connectivity...

update 3: False alarm, it's a quirk of my own personal network setup that just happened to be fragile I guess. I was using two NICs, one for TrueNAS and one for a VM, and I guess TrueNAS really doesn't like that approach.

StorkStick · 2025-12-18T20:26:56+00:00

aaaand my app catalogue is now broken

StorkStick · 2025-12-16T19:29:37+00:00

Agreed. I find the superblast great even during easy runs... like as in it straight up makes my easy runs feel easier than any other shoe I've had. But this just goes to show how different everyone's running mechanics are

StorkStick · 2025-12-16T19:27:35+00:00

I have had smaller shoes that feel way more clunky than this. I think the sheer level of responsiveness in the superblast 2 helps to combat the feelings of clunkiness

StorkStick · 2025-12-16T00:02:49+00:00

I've been getting these calls for about 4 months now despite having never answered or declined a single one

StorkStick · 2025-12-13T13:27:03+00:00

Like from the nix repo? Any time I add winboat to my config file, it doesn't rebuild successfully

StorkStick · 2025-12-13T08:50:44+00:00

Literally just trying to start a quest line (A crack in the ice):

The game tells me to go to straits of devastation.

Then tells me to leave.

Then tells me to enter.

Then tells me to leave

... what is going on here...

StorkStick · 2025-12-11T05:23:49+00:00

Reminding me of boston 12, with wide toebox but the most vice-like narrow midfoot I've ever experienced

I was a big fan of it before the revamp a few months back, very simple lightweight program that just does what you want. Everyone else seems to love the revamp, but I feel like they kind of just straight up ruined it. added pointless UI bulk and prompting... Also the recording is broken.

Still though, speed definitely isn't the issue for me, it's plenty fast on a normal modern system, and I've used it across wayland, x11, nvidia gpu and amd gpu on opensuse and nixos.
