It’s just too slow and memory consuming. Leave it for backup solutions like Borg.

Haven’t had issues since the 2000s. Use a separate boot partition, use UEFI, you’re golden.

Yeah, the fact that ZFS is in Oracle’s hands is the real crime here. I miss Sun.

Super + R.

Thanks, TIL. I always assumed the Open version originated on OpenBSD, and therefore licensed under a BSD license. So TrueNAS is technically violating the licenses by using it in their Linux based systems?

Friends don’t let friends use filesystem level deduplication.

Isn’t OpenZFS compatible though?

AGRARIAN REFORM!!

First, keep your condescension to yourself.

Second, that’s not evidence, that’s FUD.

OnlyOffice does for sure, not sure how well it works on LibreOffice Online.

LibreOffice online exists. It’s not mature, but they could have invest half their time in making it so.

Only Office is natively cloud based, with an optional offline/desktop version.

Both are open source, if the concern is project governance, create a fork and rebrand.

Is there any evidence of any wrongdoing or are we just considering all open source software from Russia a bad actor by default?

Really? Is there an alternative that hits all the points above? I’m really asking.

• persistent IRC style chat rooms
• virtual “servers” to organize said chat rooms, manage privileges, control visibility
• integration with bots for all sorts of things (moderation, user welcome, dice rollers, etc.)
• integration with games/music players/etc (I don’t use it but it’s very popular)
• privacy and moderation controls
• client allows fine grained notification controls
• voice, video, and screen casting simultaneously
• “server” templates: use an existing server config (roles, permissions, rooms, etc.) when creating a new server.

That’s just off the top of my head.

It’s enshittifying, but the value proposition is still hard to beat. I’m really hoping Matrix catches up with the feature set soon.

Nheko provides an interface that is reminiscent of Discord. Fully featured and fast Matrix client.

That depends. A lot of the power consumption comes from spinning media. Even very old desktop Intel chips have CPU throttling and consume very little while idle. Corporate desktops, even old ones, are usually quite economical.

You don’t need more than an old desktop with a low powered i3/i5 and a free drive bays to build your first NAS. Just install TrueNAS and get going.

I haven’t sunk much time at it, but I’m not aware of any training data focusing on code only. There’s nothing preventing me from running with general purpose data, but I imagine I’d have a snappier response with a smaller, focused dataset, without losing accuracy.

I am curious about trying an application specific AI. Like just for coding, for instance. I assume the memory requirements would be much lower.

One way to avoid the pitfalls of hosting for others is hosting an instance just for yourself. Maybe immediate family too.

As for RAID, just go with TrueNAS software raid (courtesy of ZFS). All that is needed are physical bays and SATA cables/ports. You can buy cheap external bays if there aren’t enough on the PC.
