  Oh, I forgot about Claude. Last time I tried it, it seemed on par or even better that ChatGPT-4o (but was missing features like browsing).

  Regular users can use Gemini, Deepseek, Meta AI, and there will probably be many more services in the future.

  NFS gives me the best performance. I’ve tried GlusterFS (not at home, for work), and it was kind of a pain to set up and maintain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you keep up?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it works, I don’t update unless I’m bored or something. I also spread things out on multiple machines, so there’s less chance of stuff happening like you describe with the charts feature going away. My NAS is pretty much just a NAS now.

  You can probably backup your configs/data, upgrade, then deploy jellyfin again, restore, and reconfigure. You should probably backup your data on your ZFS pool. But, I recently updated to the latest TrueNas Scale from ~5 year old FreeBSD version of TrueNas and the pools still worked fine (none of the “apps” or jails worked, obviously). The upgrade process even ported my service configurations over. I didn’t care about much of the data in the pools, so only backed up the most important stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NAS Hardware selection⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally use a dual core pentium with 16GB of RAM. When I first installed TrueNas (FreeNas back then), I only had 8GB of RAM, but that proved to be not enough to run all the services I wanted, so I would suggest 12-16GB. Depending on the services you want to run any multi-core x86 CPU that allows 16GB of RAM to be used should be adequate. I believe TrueNas recommends ECC RAM, but I don’t think using consumer grade RAM and hardware has caused me any problems. I’m also using an old SSD for the system drive, which I is recommended now (I used to use 2 mirrored USB thumb drives, buy that’s not recommended anymore). Very importantly, make sure the HDD(s) you get are not shingled drives; made that mistake initially, and performance was ridiculously bad.

  I remember liking Opposing Force and Blue Shift too.

  NCalc+ is pretty good. I don’t use it for anything complicated though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His Word⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yann LeCun would probably be a better source. He does actual research (unlike Altman), and I’ve never seen him over-hype or fear monger (unlike Altman).
