“Now announcing UnRAID 2, UnRAID original will no longer receive updates as we focus our resources on UnRAID 2.”

And “UnRAID 2” will only have a subscription model, and people will the OG lifetime license won’t be grandfathered into the new license.

Like Adobe and Photoshop.

I’d say it’ll happen before 2030.

But I may just be cynical at this point.

I am as well but it looks like it’s new accounts every time and they make just a single post, the spam post

At least this time the spam is just an image link to some random discord server and not CSAM

That’s the best part

They redefine “own” and “buy” in their TOS

And so do many many other online retailers that sell digital goods

I mean… Based

But why post that here?

This must be why my inbox suddenly blew up with replies from other instances that have updated

Like I got off work and noticed I had like 30 replies and panicked, then I noticed they were all from the previous weeks and from other instances.

18 HDDs into it plus 5 SSDs

Sweating intensifies

That’s a lot of drives, I’ll have to look into that one for sure

If only there was an ATX or mATX version

Looks hella nice though

My first NAS was an old desktop that I got for $300 running an FX-6300 and a GTX 550, I slapped a couple hard drives in there, installed Ubuntu, and made an SMB share.

I’d recommend installing TrueNAS Scale on a system rather than doing what I did in part due to it being so much better than what I was doing, but you could run it on a potato if you wanted.

Hell my latest NAS upgrade is going from a PowerEdge T610 (tower server from like 2010ish) running TrueNAS Scale to a normal desktop (from 2017) running TrueNAS Scale

If anything using normal desktop hardware makes servicing it easier than using old server hardware

I’ve currently got the Meshify C (not the 2) for my main gaming rig and I’ve dug it the whole time I’ve had it; looking at the drive mounting for the Meshify 2 makes me really want it for sure as that looks really convenient

The more I looked at the Node 804 since I made this post the less I liked it

NGL I wish their North line of cases had more slots for HDDs

I do want to branch out again trying other apps as Jerboa (while nice) I feel is lacking a bit

It’s functional enough but kinda meh

I like the UI though

It’s definitely a bit rough around the edges but personally I like it more than most of the others I’ve tried

Personally I enjoy Jerboa

Fun fact: modlogs aren’t fully synced between instances.

Looking my name up on some instances shows different mod actions against me compared to others

If you know what instance you posted on you can check the modlogs there to see what’s up

And that’s another good point

A great example is an astrophotography shot I took that I was really proud of that I shared with an astrophotography community around here, it got removed because there was landscape visible in the shot

I only found out about that weeks later when I was looking myself up in the modlogs along with some other entries with my name on them

I understand that on the surface it might seem like a good idea so that mods don’t get harassed by users that they took action against, but in the long term those users will continue to post and comment not knowing that their actions are unwelcome

One thing I’ve noticed was not getting notifications for bans or comments/posts getting removed

They’re in the modlogs but I never got notifications for the actions

It didn’t matter if it was my home instance or on other instances no notifications were sent to me

So it’s not really shadow banning or shadow removing as it’s all in the open modlogs, but not getting told about it does feel pretty shitty

Edit: I’d love to actually get notifications for when my stuff gets removed or whatever as how am I expected to shift my behavior if I don’t know I’m fucking up

Only problem is that the kindest thing I can say about my coding skills is that they are technically present.

Maybe someone with better skills than me could do so.

I’d love to see API access for that info

$10 per month? Probably not.

$5 maybe as long as the search results are good and accurate.

I’d pay if the price was reasonable.

I just looked that add-on up and holy cow it sounds great

I’ll have to install that when I get home

Edit: Link to the Firefox add-on for those curious.
