Eva WinterschönSometimes I think, maybe I should use TrueNAS, and then I remembered that their C•Suite decided to give the 🖕🏻 to FreeBSD... the very same operating system and community of developers and engineers who enabled their company to exist from the start, to scale to the level which brought them success and growth and accolades from the OSS and enterprise storage communities alike. So no, I don't use TrueNAS. Whatever many reasons they and their indolent fanboys push for moving to Linux, and I have heard them all, it's irrelevant. They didn't just bite the hand that feeds, they went straight over to the clown-show makeup meme table and slathered it on; trying so hard to convince everyone including themselves that this betrayal was the Good and Ethical thing to do. Luckily there are alternatives, and those will get my time, engineering efforts, and fiscal support. One thing to remember: alienated users do not recommend those formerly loved products to their employers, they do not "spread the love" via organic marketing, and perhaps sometimes they dissuade when they would formerly embrace.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/truenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#truenas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/oss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oss</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/enterprisearchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enterprisearchitecture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/storage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#storage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ixsystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ixsystems</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/mistakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mistakes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/corporategreed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corporategreed</a>

Todd A. Jacobs | RubyistThis weekend I learned that <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/NAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NAS</a> systems like <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/TrueNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS</a> are less limited by network bandwidth than by their <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/SATA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SATA</a> backplanes. I'm only getting sustained SATA speeds of 400 MB/s over a 10 Gbps link when running unquantized <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLM</a> models. That's unusable.I'd expect a 10-wide RAIDZ2 vdev to provide better read performance than that, but apparently not with my current setup. I'm not yet convinced that an <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/iXsystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iXsystems</a> SATA enclosure would do any better.

David Fi&erStarting to write down questions and things to do so that I can migrate from TrueNAS Core to vanilla FreeBSD for my home server.I suspect that this will be easier than I think (thanks to ZFS), but it's very worrying, especially since I don't have a good way to back up 1.25 TB of data. Guess I'll have to buy a new beefier external drive.<a href="https://code4lib.social/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> <a href="https://code4lib.social/tags/truenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#truenas</a> <a href="https://code4lib.social/tags/ixsystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ixsystems</a>

Graham Perrin<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@TomAoki" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TomAoki</a> multiple separate overlapping of-topic discussions are inevitable at times such as this. Partly off-topic, one of the things that I love about Discourse is the automated cross-referencing (linking) when quoting from one topic in another. Readers can be aware of the spread of things, with zero fuss.There can be no cure for the few people who will not tolerate Internet links (to external content, beyond the bubble of The FreeBSD Forums).That aside: a shift from XenForo to Discourse could, slowly but effectively, cure a fair amount of what's problematic – without admin/moderator intervention. True: the most hostile offenders might, in the early months of a transition, abuse the aspects of Discourse through which moderation is automated. The optimist in me believes that Discourse is mature enough for such abuse to become apparent, and then easily stamped out. Result: ― a better community, for everyone.

Serge from BabkaThe TrueNAS hardware is very good, and I also am somewhat partial to the TrueNAS software (with some exceptions on why it's chosen to use Kubernetes and not just plain Docker).But the company is downright odd sometimes. I had a number of issues ordering my current machine, and when this one came, it came with TrueNAS 13, rather than the current TrueNAS 24.Worse yet, you can't just upgrade to 24... you have to upgrade to 22, then 23, and finally 24.What silliness....<a href="https://babka.social/tags/TrueNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ixSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ixSystems</a>

PatriziaWhy not use the official plugin for TrueNAS? Because in the upcoming 13.3 release they have declared then to be untested and unsupported (alongside jails, which is just wild to me). I also find them more opaque.At some point I'm probably going to end up needing to go to vanilla FreeBSD, but I find the web UI very useful and I'm not sure that the webmin port (seemingly quite outdated) would be a viable replacement. I wonder if iX would consider maintaining port for the Web UI...<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/iXSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iXSystems</a>

PatriziaI wish the work they've done could be pushed upstream so that FreeBSD-based TrueNAS doesn't disappear.I wish companies would throw their weight behind FreeBSD rather than abandon it. As prominent examples, AMD and Intel could support their graphics chips rather than letting volunteers write code for them, and MediaTek could support their wifi chips.I live in hope that I will be pleasantly surprised...(3/3)<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/iXsystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iXsystems</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Intel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Intel</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMD</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MediaTek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MediaTek</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TrueNAS_CORE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS_CORE</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TrueNAS_SCALE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS_SCALE</a>

PatriziaThe serial terminal emulator was painful - I needed to log in every few minutes or even if I switched tab!I liked the idea of having official apps instead of community plugins, but with this experience I'm not convinced it's ready for my particular use case.I'm disappointed that iX "has no plans for a FreeBSD 14-based release". I like the stability that CORE provides, and the jail system is clear and simple.(2/3)<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/iXsystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iXsystems</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TrueNAS_CORE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS_CORE</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TrueNAS_SCALE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS_SCALE</a>

jzdm<a href="https://mastodon.social/@herrbischoff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@herrbischoff</a> I noticed that, thank you. If they don't want to develop <a href="https://mieth.social/tags/TrueNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS</a> any further, that's their right. However, offering it as a regular product but without maintenance is not a nice way to do it. <a href="https://mieth.social/tags/iXsystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iXsystems</a>

ShawnT 🐀I was Today years old when I learned that <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/TrueNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrueNAS</a> from <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/iXSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iXSystems</a> has split the ecosystem into two versions, <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/TruenasCORE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TruenasCORE</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/TruenasSCALE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TruenasSCALE</a>, and that many features of CORE are being deprecated in favor of SCALE. Ok, fine, after 13 years, I'm used to them changing things without notice.But the thing is, SCALE is based on Debian Linux instead of FreeBSD (which it's been since day 1). Eh, what? When'd they find a new religion? That's a major rework of my environment. Decisions.
