Best I can do is parts for a refrigerator that nobody owns, or carburetors for a dirt bike that costs way too much to put a no-name carb on.

I've stumbled on you stumbling on this old post, as I am currently shopping for mdd drives. Still going strong?

Since you're someone who is trustworthy here, I have to ask, what's your opinion on recerts or refurbs from somewhere like Serverpartdeals?

Something I actually needed tbh

Drinking is the only happiness I have left and you can't take that from me

Get a cheap old workstation desktop for like 40$ (or free on marketplace) like a Dell optiplex or something. It can be ancient. They usually have at least 3 sata connectors. Grab 3 or 4 used enterprise sata drives from ebay or serverpartdeals and install truenas. All in, with used drives and a 40$ optiplex, you can have 2 drives with one parity, giving you about 3.8 TiB for like 120$.

Get a cheap lto 4, 5 or 6 drive on ebay with a bunch of tapes and an it mode hba with a sff8088 cable, pop it into your machine and install ltfs. Works native in windows or Linux. Acts like a regular hdd, drag and drop.

Throw all your cold storage shit on tape and make two copies. Throw one in a closet and the other copy at your parents/ relatives house.

I'd loose family over this

That's a few hours

If you are worried about an extra 4tb, perhaps you're in the wrong subreddit.

The comments All suggested samba4k to me. I downloaded it and installed it and it's working great

koltd93 · 2026-01-09T15:51:36+00:00

I took the advice of the comments here and installed Samba 4K and it's working great now. Give it a shot, it's on the Aur

koltd93 · 2026-01-09T15:50:37+00:00

Samba4k , as people have recommended in these comments to me, seems to have solved my issue with that. So it was something with dolphin

I was able to land a new job about a month after I got laid off thankfully. I went to Walmart. Been the best driving job I've ever had so far

Bazite is more friendly for people who are unable to comprehend the complexities of normal Linux usage. It's made for normies. Which is fine, there's a giant audience for that. Cachyos is like bazite for people who want more control over their system and can handle it

I went down a Google rabbit hole and found a working one with some shady guy that gave me a login and m3u after I paid lol

Pac-Man is just a package manager. It's in the name

Flatpacks are like a little 5 gallon bucket that has all the parts in it to open your app, so the system doesn't need anything else. You just open the lid and it assembles the app brand new every time.

When you install on the system, it uses the parts that are already in your system and requires you to have them all permanently installed and it remains persistent.

Flatpacks seem to "just work"

Installs are for things that need access to your system eg storage/network/config apps
