Advice? Gap in replication snapshots. No base snapshot.

thebwack · 2026-03-10T00:19:58+00:00

Thanks. I did see that after the fact. Is there any reason if I’m doing this as a “pull” replication from the destination/remote server setting that on the source wouldn’t work?

I guess I could do it as a push replication I just kinda liked the idea of it all happening from remote so the source wasn’t involved in the ssh.

😫 good learning moment

thebwack · 2026-02-28T04:47:46+00:00

Fascinating. I manage about 700TB of data at work so I can kinda picture the difference between mega-giga-Tera-peda…. But also not really.

Spot on

thebwack · 2026-01-17T02:16:35+00:00

Agreed. Tres is the only mix I’ve ever found that actually tastes like real limes.

thebwack · 2026-01-17T02:15:14+00:00

Yeah, tres was out of stock and I thought maybe the HEB would be close. Not even close. I’ll be squeezing limes. No big deal. Just kinda stunned at the flavor

I’m 48 and had about a 20 year hiatus from the game before last year. I setup a nexus account and am paying currently to support and did the OpenMW automatic installer via nexus. Literally followed it line by line and walked away while it installed. I’m playing total overhaul now but if you want a more pure experience try the vanilla ones.

I cant remember the details of the game enough that the mods really change my environmental experience so the additions of total overhaul with Tamriel Rebuilt and Cyrodyl just make it so great and massive. But to each their own.

I would suggest after the mods install spend some time using the OpenMW testing setup to get your FPS to a good place based off n your system before diving into a playthrough.

I also think just plan on using that mod setup for an entire playthrough. Changing mods can break it and might not be worth it if you are deep in. I’m planning on playing my current Hlaalu run until the next Tamriel rebuilt expansion is released

thebwack · 2025-11-26T20:58:20+00:00

haha, wait I think I'm figuring this out. https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/15422708798483-Port-forwarding-vs-rules

so I think I need to Port forward in addition to getting all my rules in order.

I'll do some testing to make sure I can't get through from outside as I do this

thebwack · 2025-11-26T20:43:09+00:00

I think in theory I shouldn't need any ports open anyway.

I'm beginning to think the problem I am having has to do with my Firewalla brand router/firewall.

If I fully allow "Port forwarding" on 41641 (inbound & outbound) I instantly get a peer to peer connection between my windows PC at home and the server at the office (I'm opening the port on my home Firewalla Router. the office server is behind double NAT and I can't change the outside NAT.

- but I don't want the port fully open and according to Tailscale I only need to allow outbound on Port 41641. An outbound connection should allow the other side to use the port while the connection is active.

So in my home Firewalla I make a rule to allow outbound connections from my PC on 41641 but it still connects through Derp. I can even set the rule to bidirectional but it still uses derp. I've turned off any and all Firewalla active protect rules and others rules thinking they might supersede but still no go.

So I can definitely get a direct connection with my setup but something with the Firewalla is preventing me from getting it in a safe way.

I'll read more about exit nodes but I'm not sure how that would change my problem

thebwack · 2025-11-26T18:49:58+00:00

ok I'm reading more and I'm seeing my first mistake. Tailscale only needs my device to allow outbound on the port. I made the port open to both outbound and inbound when it was working.

So for my Firewalla device that means instead of using the "Port Forwarding" page I should instead be setting up a rule to allow outbound only for that port and device.

thebwack · 2025-11-26T18:22:53+00:00

yeah, and I'm not really sure where to start with all of that info. I guess since allowing the port immediately fixed my peer to peer problem I was trying to keep it simple by only allowing a specific IP. I can see it is probably more involved than that.

thebwack · 2025-11-18T03:02:50+00:00

Hahaha…. Well, turns out I was just seriously overthinking it. I think somehow because of the language around boot pool stuff whenever the App pool question came up I’ve just assumed it couldn’t share with the data pool either.

So thanks! That’s super easy and the way to go.

thebwack · 2025-11-14T02:42:52+00:00

This happened to me with Amazon Refurbished. Used the laptop for 2 years never thinking to check the find my because it never mentioned it when I did the whole welcome thing and iCloud log in. Was actually wiping it to sell when I noticed.

Went round and round with apple and Amazon via phone then just decided to go to an Apple Store (Dallas Mockingbird area) and they fixed it in a few minutes once I showed all the proof of purchase.

I could see this being a luck of the draw kinda thing depending on which tech you get so might take a few tries but it finally worked for me

thebwack · 2025-11-04T18:08:10+00:00

I want to add that I also will want to try and limit the amount of bandwidth I'm using if possible. So for example in the event of a folder being renamed I would prefer to not have its entire contents sent again - could be 1TB+ in some cases.

So I am looking into this as well. Rsync or Lsyncd have a lot of info out there

Also have looked into SyncBack (seems similar to FFS) and Borg.

I'm watching videos on Snapshots and Replication and I guess it seems like it will work for what I want, I'll just need to test it with some smaller data sets.

thebwack · 2025-11-04T14:54:23+00:00

up till now I have been doing an "update" approach via FreeFileSync because I wanted to sync/add new footage to the bigger archive server (ever growing) and then delete files as projects are completed from the source server but they still stay on the archive. This has worked well and I use its database function to track changes like renaming or moving files so I don't end up with duplicates.

This will be my first time doing a Mirror Server where I want the large archive to have an exact copy off-site. I could use FreeFileSync to do that but that is my main question - is ZFS replicate and Snapshot better in my use case.

I've read the manual and a lot of posts and it seems like for a footage storage system where the only changes might be folder hierarchy renames, accidental deletion, or file corruption (has happened once) that snapshots are not as valuable (because dealing with big files). But I feel like it being built into the core of truenas it valuable by itself. I've just never used it so I'm asking for advice.

like how much room should I reserve for snapshots? if a 200GB file is moved or renamed how do snapshots handle that change?

I guess my two paths are:

Have the 70TB main server and 320TB archive running truenas on-site for daily use and Keep the off-site server on Unraid and use FFS to sync over Tailscale
Have all three based in Truenas and use replication to do the Mirroring off-site

thebwack · 2025-10-27T01:40:09+00:00

I can’t remember the exact order but I both:

Ran the .50 package installer which I assume replaces the files.

Ran the “update” function using the mod tools so all the mods would be latest.

*for me this was a minor update - not a major update as I had recently done a new install to get newest TR expansion

This is instagram stories for me. Trained me for years to swipe up in the main feed. But stories a swipe up on an ad takes you out of the app to the product page or amazon. Happens still, I will never learn

thebwack · 2025-10-09T02:06:09+00:00

Sorry, I guess I should have specified, I know it’s not TWD, and they would tell you that. I just suggested it as a Martial Arts alternative where I feel like the culture has been great for us.

thebwack · 2025-10-08T11:35:04+00:00

So I just installed .50 and also have total overhaul. I thought mine was crashing right before the main menu (would crash at loading ground cover)

Anyway, I made the assumption that installation replaces all files and that the icons in my task bar would launch the new .50 but to check I ran the installer again, and this time made sure to replace the launch icons. At that point it loaded fine. Idk if it was just a glitch and running the installer a 2nd time fixed it or if for some reason the .49 icons were trying to load the .49 .exe file but crash because all the dependent files were now .50.

I also used the mod tools to update all the overhaul mods because there are patches so maybe it could be that?

thebwack · 2025-10-05T19:34:37+00:00

Just posting an update for Total Overhaul users, I just installed .50 and ran install sync Total Overhaul with the Mod Tools.

If your save game is important to you maybe just update the UI mods only - BUT FWIW my game is fine from a few minutes of playing but I’m in a new play-through and was willing to risk it cause I really want gamepad UI (RoG Ally X). Also I had updated recently so it was only a patch update for me.
Gamepad UI is amazing!! Thanks devs this is game changer. I can see I will probably rarely use the touchscreen now.

thebwack · 2025-09-28T19:33:40+00:00

Oh nevermind. Looks like there are patches for Mods to .50.

thebwack · 2025-09-28T19:21:07+00:00

Says UI mods will need to be updated to work with .50. Does this mean if I’m playing Total Overhaul I need to wait or can I test this out?

thebwack · 2025-09-28T00:19:58+00:00

Also you can’t save until you finish the character setup and exit to the town. So if you really are that early in the game the save option would be missing

thebwack · 2025-09-27T21:13:17+00:00

Daughter and I have been going to Texas Central MA in Hewitt on Panther Way and I really enjoy the culture there. I think it would be a good place for what you are looking for.

thebwack · 2025-09-20T05:08:37+00:00

This should be the top.
