Yeah. I have a RAIDz2 on super old version of FreeNAS. 8x4TB.

I’ve been needing to upgrade for about a year now. I’ve been waiting for the prices to go lower…. News about WD forced my hand for 8x18TB. Not $$ I was looking to spend, but fomo that my upgrade could now be much further away pushed me to just do it. :(

A surprisingly fun game. It exceeded my expectations. I have played it more than I thought I would.

Once you get it setup, start looking for homeassistant compatible hardware instead. There is a lot. Even some big brands use protocols (zigbee, zwave, matter) that can connect to homeassistant without a need for their hub (granted you do have a HA hub) or cloud connection.

I try to stay away from WiFi if possible, but if home assistant compatible I’ll use it.

Clive coffee has good well informed content. https://m.youtube.com/@clivecoffee

Haven’t seen Dead Cells mentioned. Love that game.

That’s amazing. I’m on my own espresso journey. Even knowing all the theory going in, consistent execution can be elusive.

Good luck to you and cheers to great coffee at home.

Does running pi hole make this redundant, or are they solving different problems?

I wish I could upvote you more than once

Adding to this. A pressure cooker brings the cook time down dramatically and I think it produces a superior result.

Doesn’t losing a vdev cause the entire pool to be lost? I guess to your point with sufficient redundancy for new vdev 1 drive redundancy whether 3 disks or 5 is essentially the same risk. If a vdev is added without redundancy that would increase risk of losing the entire pool.

Damn you fine

From Frank Herbert’s Dune

Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it’s a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.

Pretty sure it means “Very Ugly”.

Why doesn’t that joystick have drift!?

There are also redwoods in New Zealand. Redwoods Forest, Whakarewarewa

It has done this since it was installed. I used what was in the box to mount and wire it. It requires a C wire which is available from the furnace. I traced the C wire back to the furnace control board and it’s connected to the C terminal block, but I am definitely not an expert on furnaces.
