Well, TrueNAS is a RAID system, and pretty much any Linux distro can run ZFS.
- Comment on Yet another note taking recommendation needed 4 days ago:
I sync hundreds of gigs, (if not terabytes at this point) using Syncthing with errors on only one machine (it’s running on 6 devices, including a VM). And those errors are of my own doing, not random Syncthing errors.
It’s surprisingly robust these days, especially for a single-user notes.
I have an indexing job that runs on my server every 30 minutes, saving into a text file (it indexes my media folder, which is about 3TB of movies and TV shows).
Those text files sync to my phone when they’ve changed (so every 30 minutes). They’re always up to date when I open them.
My phone also has jobs to continually sync my photos to home, an ad-hoc folder to my laptop, and about 25 other folder pairs (including NeoBackup) that sync under different conditions, without fail.
I’m currently testing Cherrytree using Sourcherry on Android and it seems to work fine as a single-user solution with Syncthing.

That should be your first rule! 😁
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 6 days ago:
Others have clarified, but I’d like to add that security isn’t one thing - it’s done in layers so each layer protects from potential failures in another layer.
This is called The Swiss Cheese Model. of risk mitigation.
If you take a bunch of random slices of Swiss cheese and stack them up, how likely is there to be a single hole that goes though every layer?
Using more layers reduces the risk of “hole alignment”.
Here’s an example model:
So a router that has no open ports, then a mesh VPN (wireguard/Tailscale) to access different services.
That VPN should have rules that only specific ports may be connected to specific hosts.
Hosts are on an isolated network (could be VLANS), with only specific ports permitted into the VLAN via the VPN (service dependent).
Each service and host should use unique names for admin/root, with complex passwords, and preferably 2FA (or in the case of SSH, certs).
Admin/root access should be limited to local devices, and if you want to get really restrictive, specific devices.
In the Enterprise it’s not unusual to have an admin password management system that you have to request an admin password for a specific system, for a specific period of time (which is delivered via a secure mechanism, sometimes in person). This is logged, and when the requested time frame expires the password is changed.
Everyone’s risk model and Swiss cheese layering will fall somewhere on this scale.
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 6 days ago:
About 5 years ago I opened a port to run a test.
Within hours it was getting hammered (probably by scripts) trying to figure out what that port was forwarded to, and trying to connect.
I closed the port about a week later, but not before that poor consumer router was overwhelmed with the hits.
I closed the port after a week. For the next 2 years I’d get hammered with scans occasionally.
There are tools out there continually looking for open ports, they probably get added to a database and hackers/script kiddies, whoever, will try to get in.
Whats interesting is I did the same thing around 2000 with a DSL connection (which was very much a static address) and it wasn’t an issue even though there were fewer always-on consume connections.

This is just from an initial search, with strict query:
Known Cases in 2024 of Bystander Deaths or Innocent Victim Deaths in Street Racing-Related Crashes
St. Louis County, Missouri – April 2024 Construction worker killed in work-zone by street racing crash Two 18‑year‑olds racing; one lost control and struck construction workers. One, Christopher Johnson (34), was pronounced dead. www.wdtv.com
Portland, Oregon – Fatal crash killing innocent bystander Young mother (Ashlee McGill, 26) killed She was struck by a vehicle that lost control during an illegal street race while she was a bystander (had no involvement). hoodline.com/…/portland-man-sentenced-to-3-years-…
Grand Prairie, Texas – August 10, 2024 Family killed by alleged street racer Four family members (parents and two children) killed when their car was struck by alleged street racer returning from Six Flags. people.com/four-family-members-killed-after-stree…
Kansas City, Missouri – December 2024 Two innocent people killed in street racing crash A street race (Chrysler 300 vs Charger) resulted in collision with a Honda HR‑V turning onto another road; both people in the Honda died. These victims were not part of the race. tonyskansascity.com
As someone who grew up in the racing community (at tracks designed for it), I’ve watched the safety improvements dramatically improve over my lifetime, and the number of attendee injuries drop to near zero and yet we still have crashes that exceed the math of safety engineers.
I work very hard to not insult people here, but to critique their statements, but in this case, get fucked with your selfish bullshit.

- Comment on Reddit Mods Sued by YouTuber Ethan Klein Fight Efforts to Unmask Them 1 week ago:
I don’t know who these people are, and more importantly don’t fucking care.
How long I’ve been “on the internet” (which is since before PC’s were a common thing) is irrelevant.
I am curious whether the safety argument is valid, but only after settling the copyright argument (which seems utterly bullshit) and the libel claims.
Frankly it all sounds juvenile, and I hope both sides lose their asses in court for wasting it’s time.

- Comment on Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs 1 week ago:
Others have mentioned Syncthing as a sync solution. I’d like to add a couple points:
Syncthing can work fine even for solutions that are intended to use their own sync, provided it’s a single-user setup. You’re not likely to make simultaneous changes on 2 devices, so collisions are unlikely.
Also for using Syncthing, I recommend Syncthing-Fork for Android - it moves sync conditions into the folder/job rather than global. Very useful when you have jobs you want always syncing, and jobs you want to only sync on wifi and power.
If using iOS there’s an ST client called Möbius Sync ($5), developed by a company the financially supports Syncthing.
For Windows, get SyncTrayzor - it makes running and managing ST easier.
- Comment on Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs 1 week ago:
I carry a phone, I’m not carrying a notebook and pen.
I did that 40 years ago.
Plus that list doesn’t show up on my laptop or my desktop, other places I’m working.
It’s not sortable by date/time, priority or project.
That’s terrible advice, and doesn’t even meet the basic requirements of the question.

This is like the joke “If a plane crashes on the border of two countries, where do they bury the survivors?”
If you a had an accident bad enough to go to the hospital in an ambulance, it’s unlikely your vehicle is driveable.

Then any app that supports tagging can easily find things by your tags.

- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
So don’t expose it to the internet - which should be the default stance for anything.
The internet was (mistakenly and intentionally) built without security - that doesn’t mean we should just accept that, but instead build everything with our own security.
Numerous mesh VPN solutions exist: Hamachi has been around since at leas 2006. NeoRouter since at least 2012. Then we have Wireguard and Tailscale.
Business build their own tunnels between locations, using routers/gateways with that capability. Consumer routers from Linksys could do this in 2006.
Thwres zero excuse for running anything exposed to the internet.
- Comment on Apple calls for changes to anti-monopoly laws and says it may stop shipping to the EU 2 weeks ago:
It may stop shipping to the EU
Lol, right. Talk about an empty threat.
iPhone has about a 30% market share in the EU, which means Android is about 70% (I’m sure there’s probably 2% that’s something else).
Apple stops shipping to EU, that will drop to 5%, giving away 25% market share.
Pleas Apple, stop shipping to the EU, when you become a bit player everywhere but the US, you’ll have to start competing by opening up.

- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Sure. It’s about balancing risks, what the business world calls Risk Mitigation (there’s an entire field(s) called Risk Analysis and Management)
We always ask “what’s the risk?” Both for making a given change or not making it. We then attempt to asses which risk is more manageable - which can be “mitigated”.
We have teams whose job it is to analyze the usentied risks, and try to quantify them to enable decision making.

I do, and I’ve been in chronic pain for decades, have considered the final solution and disregarded it.
Don’t assume you know what other people think about life. I’d even go so far as to say you’re very much the exception - look at people, not media.
