I’ve used expressvpn on an Asus router, using fusion to split different ip addresses onto different vans and its been sound, no issues. So much easier than I was expecting.

O’Brien, the hero of Setlik 3, would be fighting. Torres would be as well.

Geordi would probably be the better medic.

Thank you for explaining, as that’s really helpful for my own learning

Yeah, it felt like a bit of a dumb suggestion for someone in your position. Might work for someone with a less…robust level of need? Works for me with a QNAP QSW-2104-2T (this doesn’t meet your criteria fwiw, unmanaged, not sfp+ but there is an sfp+ version that’s still unmanaged) does that really matter if you have a pfsense box?

Edit: QSW-2104-2S is the double sfp+ version.

Er…Asus RE-BE88 technically meets that criteria but that’s a router…I think it even does the VLAN stuff?

I’m not the best person to explain the how or why but they are looking at Q3 for beta and Q4 for main release.

I’m running Immich, Nextcloud and Jellyfin on TNS and it’s fine. Nextcloud takes a bit of work though.

TrueNAS Scale will have Docker in the next release in August, along with the ability to expand Vdevs.

Probably not that helpful but Truenas Scale and the Nextcloud App, and then just used the Collabora “plugin” as I gave up using a separate Collabora App because I couldn’t make them work together. Probably going to have to fix everything again in August when the next TNS update drops (Electric Eel) and enables vDev extensions.

For what? IV and VI have a lot going for them. V is total trash.

The numbers of pence per kilowatt hour for an EV does not change dependent on the comparison to a petrol or diesel car. If we are talking about the efficiency savings, we would expect greater savings for the EV compared to a petrol car doing 30 mpg versus the comparison to a diesel car. And 3 miles per kilowatt hour isn’t that unreasonable, you are not going to get 4 except in specific circumstances.

I think it’s obvious that the more miles per unit time, the quicker an EV will pay off. But then, one does need to charge at home so the other challenges (off road parking, long enough between use periods) makes a large difference. It does not surprise me that it works better for you with a works van and high mileage, where it can be classed as a business expense with BiK bonuses. But it doesn’t help Joe bloggs who does 6k/year at a push.

I’d like to buy an EV. I expect my next car to be one, whether I like it or not, and I’ve set everything up including solar panels to wring out every efficiency I can. But with this tax system and fuel cost differences the sums don’t add up for me, and most other people.

Double the mpg for a decent diesel gives about 11p/mile, which is what I get most of the time.

Driving 8k miles per year that nets a £680 saving per year. That does not justify changing vehicles. Even a 5 grand difference in price would not be acceptable to most people imo. Even dropping road and luxury taxed barely change it.

I’m not paying 50 grand for a car that should be 30 grand at best, I’ll keep on running what I have now thanks.

TrueNAS scale, LIS HBA cards, server motherboards with plenty of PCI Lanes ie AMD EPYC, large capacity HDD, just make sure they are CMR and not SMR drives. And Raidz2 is your friend. You will not need 40 drives, frankly you will fit 10,000 films, mostly 4K and 1000 complete TV series on a single 12 drive wide Raidz2 vDev using 20TB drives. That’s enough to last 50 years in terms of viewing time.

All GP practices are private practice. They are privately owned organisations which hold contracts from NHS England etc.

And here I am rocking an A71 that still works fine…why spend the money?

Wes Street is going to have to get used to the idea that people will not vote for him.

Offering my experience as an example: I’m a software moron (fine at building a pc, crap at using it) and TrueNas Scale was simple to install and then access on mobile, tablet and via windows PC, at least as simple network attached storage.

When I tried to use it to just jellyfin I hit a brick wall, completely unable to understand how to use the shared datasets.

But as NAS it’s simple with a bookmark to manage.
