Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

  I didn’t read the other comments

  It wasn’t in any other comments. It was in the original post.

  You said that you have an issue with some software (you did not even bother to specify which)

  Actually I did.

  Had it been me, I would’ve posted logs

  Logs of…what, exactly?

  posted what I’m trying to achieve

  I did.

  why I’m unable to do it so far or where I would appreciate additional explanation.

  Did that also.

  Maybe try reading more carefully before calling someone out for some bullshit.

    You said that you have an issue with some software (you did not even bother to specify which)

    Actually I did.

    You didn't. You very specifically asked for someone to commit to helping you personally with nonspecific issues rather than asking for help from a general group for a specific issue (which would have been more likely to get help).

    posted what I’m trying to achieve

    I did.

    Maybe, but what youre trying to achieve isn't getting a helpful answer for a specific question. You're trying to get someone to commit to helping you for an unspecified amount of time with an unspecified amount of problems. CriticalMass is telling you that is a bad way of obtaining help for a problem anywhere except in school and a job classroom. This is neither of those.

    why I’m unable to do it so far

    Did that also.

    Maybe try reading more carefully before calling someone out for some bullshit.

    No, he read your post just fine. You just don't like the answers you're getting. Asking for help with a specific thing is exactly what these forums are for. Asking for help getting started is even okay. We love sharing a good tutorial for getting a new user started with a specific software.

    You aren't doing any of those things. You're asking for someone to spend hours of their time, in a call with you, to walk you through a process that has hundreds of online tutorials already out there. You're also getting mad when people tell you that what you're after is not what this discussion forum is for.

      You didn’t.

      I don’t know what to tell you. It’s in the OP. Literally everything you need to know is in the OP.

      You very specifically asked for someone to commit to helping you personally with nonspecific issues

      Yes, that’s correct. Because I don’t have a specific issue.

      CriticalMass is telling you that is a bad way of obtaining help for a problem anywhere except in school and a job classroom.

      I disagree. Seems like a great way to get help to me.

      We love sharing a good tutorial for getting a new user started with a specific software.

      And I clearly explained why those tutorials are not helpful. Wanna take a guess where? It’s in the OP.

      You just don’t like the answers you’re getting.

      Because they’re not the “answers” I asked for.

      You’re also getting mad when people tell you that what you’re after is not what this discussion forum is for.

      I’m getting agitated because people are being dicks just for asking a question. Who made you the arbiter of the intention of this forum?

      If you don’t want to help, just shut the fuck up, and move the fuck on. Not that hard.

    Actually I did.

    No you didn’t. You said that you had set up TrueNAS, that means it’s working. I inferred from a different comment that you’re actually experiencing problems with TrueNAS and even left a reply to hopefully help you.

    Logs of…what, exactly?

    It was an example. I did not expect you to take it literally. If things aren’t working, then we need to know which things aren’t working. Screenshots, logs, even “I can’t connect to my own server” is better.

    I did

    I had to infer from other comments that you’re having trouble with TrueNAS. Perhaps it’s because English is my 3rd language, but clearly the point didn’t get across to others in this thread either.

      Nah they were quite clear they need help setting up “some services”, isn’t that specific enough for you? Ha! They really do not know the magnitude of what they are asking for. I tried to be helpful and encouraging and point them towards a path of self learning but after reading all the comments and the way they respond to people, I’m done and they’re going on my block list. It’s clear from their attitude that this person does not want to do anything for themselves and is doomed to fail at self hosting. Anyone getting involved is asking for pain.

        I just read some their other comments on this thread… lmao… don’t think I’d ever seen such entitlement in this community.
