Why do you need both Unraid and TrueNAS? Don’t they do the same thing? What’s the downside to running TrueNAS on VM in Proxmox VS dedicated machine?

What device do you use for NAS? I’m looking to have a tb of raid 0 ssd cache and if I were to have a dedicated NAS, I would probably go for something with ITX mobo or something like Ugreen Nas with unraid software. Doesn’t the power necessary to have a performant NAS go underutilized then?

I only said 3 drives because supposedly it’s better than 2, which would mean simple mirroring - I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it, shouldn’t be hard to get answers there.

Is Cloudflare Tunnels really this problematic? I thought Tunnels and Tailscale would be safe… If I can’t expose those services, I’d rather pay for SaaS alternatives.

Thank you for the other tips.

Yeah, turns out removing front panel drops the temps by 10 degrees… There’s a mesh variant, or rather was because it’s nowhere to be found. I will ask around or buy more fans and that should do it.

One of the things I learned as a dev is not to overcomplicate things - my profession is very guilty of this and it bites us in the ass in the end 100% of the time. I’m slowly learning not to do that, thus, Unraid :) thanks for the info.

Do you have any issues with downtime? Are updates troublesome?

I recently started paying for debrid services (I use real debrid, but there are others) and couldn’t be happier. Got an app called Stremio on my TV and after adding the credentials, everything just works - easy & fast like the streaming services.

It also allows you to download torrents much faster than torrenting them, especially if not many people seed them.

Oh, and if you ever need to download something from Rapidshare or whatever other websites like that it does that too.

Honestly, I should’ve started paying for it earlier.

Now that I think of it, there’s a simple check for the case fans. I’ll try removing the front cover and see if it helps the temps in a meaningful way.

I’ve got the Honeywell PTM7950 phase changing pad, which from reviews is performing as good as the best thermal pastes. I’d rather not remove it if it’s not necessary as it’s quite expensive but if I don’t figure out another reason I’ll try replacing it I guess.

It’s somehow even trickier to find a list of differences between them and regular win 11.

It might be due to the fact that I mostly consume media in English, but I hear more about US elections than I heard about the EU parliament elections which were last month. A lot of people are interested, and for good reasons - it’s going to influence much more than US itself. I don’t think you can go back to keeping your elections to yourself without keeping your military, pop cultural and corporate influence to yourself aswell.
