 footballsportsfan1960 | * I was one of the no votes. I used to love how vibrant this community was and I'd love to see its resurgence. Never been a big poster because of imposter syndrome I think (i.e. "everyone else's setup is way cooler and they're way smarter than me" type mentality) I'm off Reddit now after the API change and I use Discord exclusively for a small number of gaming-specific use-cases so my Linux community has gotten much smaller unfortunately | 06:39:34 |

Thinking of moving to lemmy but it seems to be even more political over there. So I am finally really going after an RSS feed. | 09:09:14 |
| rabid | Tried syncing the feed with Nextcloud but all the foss clients I found cant parse the contents of the articles... And my current nas can't really aford to run another service for syncing | 09:11:31 |
| footballsportsfan1960 | I've not tried syncing my RSS feeds yet, so far they all live in the feed reader on my phone, I should probably look into syncing | 15:07:00 |
| footballsportsfan1960 | But I feel you on the NAS, my drives are 93% full lol | 15:07:42 |

But I feel you on the NAS, my drives are 93% full lol Man always is at 100% memory utilization | 17:03:56 |
| rabid | TBF currently it only has 8GB of ram
| 17:04:06 |
| rabid | Hopefully I can upgrade it soon

| footballsportsfan1960 | Yeah man i had that too. I ended up eventually moving all my services to Proxmox on a really old laptop but at least it had 16gb of ram, and then I just mounted my NAS as an NFS for the storage and backups cause that CPU was hella slow even compared to my old laptop | 05:06:38 |

Hopefully I can upgrade it soon Maybe one of those Intel NUCs or a used Dell Optilex on Ebay could do the heavy lifting and then just use the NAS for storage? | 05:07:59 |

| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | I'm still using reddit only on my android device using a special trick that let's me use 3rd party apps | 14:11:06 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | rabid: why do you want to move from truenas core? | 14:12:05 |

I'm still using reddit only on my android device using a special trick that let's me use 3rd party apps You have to generate your own api key correct? | 15:54:36 |
| rabid | I finally caved and made a lemmy account yesterday, but I would love selfhost my own instance to have my account | 15:55:21 |

rabid: why do you want to move from truenas core? I just don't really understand it and they are moving away from their own plugging system. I'd rather have some discrete containers | 15:56:03 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | I personally run ubuntu with zfs and containerd | 16:25:04 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | It has the upside of zfs being built into the kernel | 16:25:44 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | And it doesn't have over complicated things that are built into proxmox | 16:26:25 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | And it works very well | 16:26:56 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | I also wrote some powershell functions to help me manage zfs | 16:27:46 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | So I'm quite happy with it | 16:28:00 |
| footballsportsfan1960 | I keep wanting to try ZFS but it feels daunting lol. I've been trying to set up a dev/test server to play with more concepts without blowing up my main stuff, maybe I'll give it a whirl there | 16:40:33 |

I also wrote some powershell functions to help me manage zfs You use powershell over bash or zsh as your main shell right? | 16:42:02 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | Yep | 16:46:55 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | I prefer pwsh since it has lots of great features like shell completion similar to fish | 16:47:25 |
| Dementor 🇮🇱🇺🇸 | It's also a lot easier for me to deal with objects rather then strings | 16:48:18 |
| footballsportsfan1960 | I've gotten to liking pwsh a lot as I've had to work with more windows servers and process a lot of Json in my day job, but haven't managed to convince myself to install it on my Linux computers yet.
Seems like it integrates just fine though? My original concept of it was that maybe it would be less compatible since everything is a file in Linux vs an object in pwsh | 17:18:32 |
