  Thank you. You just gave me a flashback to Total War: Rome campaign I played as a kid. I didn’t play long, because it got boring fast. I had exclusive horse archer armies that wiped out whole armies without losses.

  IIRC TrueNAS next release will include RaidZ1 with 2 disks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switching from a Media Drive to my first self-build NAS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As for migration, you might be able to create a degraded pool initially, copy over the data, and add the parity disk last.

  I actually asked in the TrueNAS forum about this idea. According to some knowledgeable users this might work. For anyone interested, details here. The next major release (planned for end of October), should make this easier.

  Not participating in a disinformation war reminds me of the hesitation to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with the supplied weapons. What incentive does thr other side have to stop?

  Witcher 3 was great even though the pacing almost lost me. I’m the kind of player who plays one main story mission and then has to complete all available side quests, before continuing the main quest. It’s the reason the only Bethesda Game I have ever finished is Oblivion.

  That’s why I recommend people to stick with it and finish some main quests if you ever feel like the game loses yo.

  A little PSA: buying a game just before a sale, is a legitimate reason for a refund according to their Refund FAQ

  I have never played a From Software game. Sekiro is really tempting to get, because I never could see myself dodging/rolling around the big enemies and bosses. Mostly human-sized enemies and parrying sounds much more appealing to me. But the difficulty has scared me off thus far and it never went below 50% off

  I bought Horizon Zero Dawn wenn it was 50% off. For me it was really worth it. Got every achievement for it. I plan to do the same when Horizon Forbidden West is 50% off.

  Repeat after me “Fines need to be tied to global revenue”. It has to hurt, if you want companies to stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NATO Member Sweden Says Russia Disrupting Its Satellite Networks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s hilarious that western leaders are worried about provoking Russia by providing Ukraine with weaponry that can be used in Russian territory.

  Russia is at war with us. It’s not tanks, fighter jets and battleships. It’s cyber warfare, disinfomation campaigns, bribing of right wing politicians and poisonings. Just because nobody wants to call it a war, doesn’t make it go away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x07 "Erigah"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Discovery had its ups and downs for me over the seasons. The Progenitor tech. Breen. Both interesting. Moll and L’ak and the forced connection to Book ruin it for me. I get annoyed every time Moll opens her mouth.

  I enjoy shows that add personal connections into their story, but Discovery is excessive and misses quite a lot.

  Y2K is similar. Most people will remember not much happening at all. Lots of people worked hard to solve the problem and prevent disaster.
