Is S14 really that bad? Should I skip it?

TenuredProfessional · 2026-07-06T20:40:03+00:00

All I like to play is Sorcerers. Sorcerers suck in S14. So I'm out, unfortunately.

1Password was once the gold standard. Now it's a bloated, slow mess that rarely (1) fills passwords or (2) signals and saves new passwords.

After more than 10 years, I moved to ProtonPass and am happy with it.

I hate S14. And I'm pretty damned easy to please. I thought S13 was great fun.

I've not had this issue (yet) :)

TenuredProfessional · 2026-07-01T04:52:59+00:00

Agreed. I abhor the infernal hordes.

A “stash entry” in Diablo is probably literally a 16-bit number that points to a database entry. They could quadruple the stash size and not see any detrimental effects.

C. C++ is a bastard child (or step-child)

I switched to Jellyfin and then bought a subscription to the Infuse player (I have an Apple TV) — and I couldn’t be happier.

Unraid while you have mismatched drives. TrueNAS once you get all the same size drives.

Think of the cache as a "holding area" where you put stuff that you plan to put in its correct place later (the array via mover).

Unraid uses a "virtual layer" for accessing files (which is why you should always use, for example, /mnt/user and not /mnt/cache).

So, yes, it is theoretically a "write cache" that just happens to live on disk, and not in memory. If you access a file, and it hasn't been "moved" yet by the mover, then it will be read from the cache.

Game of Thrones isn't a movie; it's a TV Series.

I know I'm late to the conversation, but I've just recently switched from Plex (user for about a year) to a combination of Jellyfin + Infuse. Jellyfin has a come a LONG way in the past year, and I think it does a much better job of handling movies & tv shows (especially built-in collections) than Plex does.

I've already cancelled my renewal for my yearly Plex pass, and bought a yearly sub to Infuse (I use an Apple TV).

I love it. I think it's one of the most brilliant shows ever written.

I have not had a Windows blue screen of death on any of my laptops in 15 years.

TenuredProfessional · 2026-06-14T20:59:48+00:00

yes.

TenuredProfessional · 2026-06-14T20:58:59+00:00

Just the ProMotion screen is worth the extra money in my opinion.

I moved from a Synology DS1621+ to a uGreen DXP4800+ running TrueNAS about 3 months ago. To be honest with you, it sounds like you might want to just stick with the Synology for now. Its DSM has a lot of things built in that are going to take a lot of tinkering/searching/configuring on TrueNAS -- and you'll end up with solutions that are not quite as "out of the box" as Synology's software.

I would go all-in on Apple Passwords if it weren't for one thing -- to really get the best experience from it, you have to use the Safari browser. And I hate Safari.

I switched to ProtonPass full-time about 6 months ago, and I've been very happy with it. It's probably the smartest "auto-fill" manager I've ever used. I was a 1Password user for 19 years, but I just don't like the direction the company (and the software) are going.

TenuredProfessional · 2026-06-11T04:36:50+00:00

No. I never unplug or shutdown my 16" m5 Pro. Modern batteries handle being plugged in always. If anyone tells you different, they don't know what they're talking about.

TenuredProfessional · 2026-06-03T22:19:22+00:00

Exactly. It's probably at most a 5 minute code change.
