• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The main concern with old hardware is probably powerdraw/efficiency, depending on how old your PC is, it might not be the best choice. But remember: companies are getting rid of old hardware fairly quickly, they can be a good choice and might be available for dirt cheap or even free.

  I recently replaced my old Synology NAS from 2011 with an old Dell Optiplex 3050 workstation that companies threw away. The system draws almost twice the power (25W) compared to my old synology NAS (which only drew 13W, both with 2 spinning drives), but increase in processing power and flexibility using TrueNAS is very noticable, it allowed me to also replace an old raspberry pi (6W) that only ran pihole.

  So overall, my new home-server is close in power draw to the two devices it replaced, but with an immense increase in performance.

  On a CFW PS3, you can use multiman to create an ISO of a video BluRay or copy the file structure off of the disc by putting it into “classic multiman mode” - This will not work on HEN systems You’ll still need to copy the result over to your PC and use software like MakeMKV to rip it to a movie file, but it works. I had to do that recently with a BluRay Disc that my PC Drive was refusing to read without errors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice on which PS3 model to get?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If PS3 gaming is what you care about most, best get a slim model that can run proper cfw. A HEN system (later slims, superslims) work as well, but they can be quirky with a few tasks outside of gaming (e.g. trying to rip a Bluray movie for conversion on a PC), and you have to run HEN on every boot (just a single button press and a few seconds of waiting, but still).

  That being said, the superslim, while feeling very cheap, can sometimes also be bought very cheap (i paid 20 EUR for a used one a few years ago), and since they use a fixed drive (i.e. no slot loading mechanism), you don’t have to worry about the mechanism failing.

  Would you be interested in contributing a short guide on the setup?

  I am not confident enough in my knowledge of TrueNAS apps myself to judge if my setup process is how you’re supposed to do custom apps, tbh, so i’d rather not try to contribute a guide that could potentially have other users run into trouble 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Announcing Timeship v0.1.0: Self-hosted ZFS snapshot browser for TrueNAS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I bookmarked this post a few days ago, but only just had the time to set it up today. Installing it as a custom app on TrueNAS was very easy.

  I am running TrueNAS as well, and I keep snapshots for about a week. When I set up snapshots, I noticed the same issue as you: On a Linux client there seems to be no convenient way to browse these snapshots using the file manager (like “previous versions” on windows), and the only way I was able to browse snapshots was using ssh into the TrueNAS system.

  While inconvenient, I figured that’s good enough for me, I don’t really tend to accidentally delete files off my system and on the rare occasion that I do, I can just use the command line. So far, I didn’t have the need to access an earlier snapshot.

  But having a convenient way to browse the snapshots using a webUI is great, Thank you for creating this application, so far it works great as a custom application on TrueNAS, I was able to successfully browse and download files from previous snapshots :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SteamOS is a linux distro, similar to any other. It’s a amalgamation of different pieces of software, including a desktop environment (plasma). But it does not boot into the desktop mode by default, instead it boots into their own graphical environment (gamemode) by default, running their steam client.

  That’s because their main focus is gaming machines, and that’s why they want gamers to be greeted with a consolized, 10-feet UI.

  I think your confused because you think of steamOS being the UI that welcomes you when you boot into it, instead steamOS is the entire package, including the desktop environment (which is KDE Plasma), gamemode, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which aspect of that confuses you? That it uses a Desktop environment to do things, or that they are using KDE Plasma instead of something else (say, gnome)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft […] gets massive backlash

  Pretty much since the release of Windows 10, Microsoft has been getting backlash because of the invasive, hostile and insane decisions they make and force on their users. It’s gotten particularly vocal since W11 and the EOL of Windows 10.

  Yet, everybody seems to eat the plate of shit MS serves them. They complain, but most people dont seem to want to put in effort to rid themselves of Microsoft.

  I could cry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamepad for Linux Gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Stadia Controller and the Gullikit KK3 Series have built in batteries and therefore come with their own charging circuit.

  The Steam Controller does not charge the batteries, you have to use an external AA charger

  The 8bitdo Pro 2 comes with a rechargable battery pack that sits in the AA compartment of the controller (similar to the old xbox 360 play-and-charge kits) and can be charged via USB. I don’t know if that charge function is limited to their battery pack, or if it will work with AA rechargables as well. My guess is, though, that it doesn’t, because it would have to somehow identify if the cells are actually rechargable, or if they are just alkaline batteries - trying to charge alkalines can be dangerous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamepad for Linux Gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do have quite a few different controllers, all work fine on linux for me:

  • Xbox One controllers (newer models, older ones don’t support bluetooth)
  • 8bitdo SN30 Pro 2
  • Gulikit KK3 Pro
  • Google Stadia

  The Stadia Controller is not my favourite, but it still works well. I mainly use the Gulikit and 8bitdo ones, depending on the game and wether my main input is meant to be d-pad or left joystick.
