You can either pay for a service, or that service will utilise every single aspect of it to monetise you.

LTT literal just did that video tho?

IIRC for the third item, the ex-employee who threw those accusations around turned out to be exaggerating things - but there was a whole ass investigation and Linus did step down as CEO, handing the reins over to a new guy who was literally brought in to fix these things (although to be fair I had the feeling that Linus has been wanting to step back for a while and this gave him an out).

Mind you I’m not saying that there weren’t problems (any company that scales as much as LMG did in the past few years will have issues), but that the issues presented to the public by the disgruntled employee were heavily exaggerated.

The difference is the things they drop.

One drops well deserved rants and ass-chewings.

The other drops expensive equipment.

Portability is not really an aspect one needs to consider when it comes to a NAS. Performance hits? Z1 will have performance issues when running in a simple mirror (especially for writes), but with 4+ disks that reduces significantly.

Sure scrubs will take longer on a multi-disk array, but again for a home NAS, the goal is maximising data storage capacity without a major hit on performance, ideally being able to saturate the most common gigabit LAN connection and have some more bandwidth available for local processing.

You’re incredibly wrong on your assumptions here.

First of all, ZFS (the file system TrueNAS specialises for) is best used with at least 3-4 disks. The more the better. A dual disk setup for ZFS (or any other kind of RAID) is super wasteful.

Second, no, 4TB won’t be enough. You think it is today, but soon you’ll be downloading media Linux ISOs and quickly realise that even 16TB is a stretch within a year.

My recommendation would be going for at least 4x 4TB, but 3-4x 6TB or even 8TB would be probably preferred. And similarly, I’d rather overshoot the initial purchase rather than realise 6-8 months in that oops, the 2-4 disk system you got isn’t enough… Even if you don’t fill the bays, I’d recommend you go for at least a 4 bay system, but rather, for 6. Sadly, SOHO NASes aren’t designed with easy expandability down the line.

Not really just short form, it’s more of a take on video feeds rather than just the limited length quickcontent Vine was famous about.

Obviously the focus is still on short(ish) content format, but I see more and more people transition to longer videos to deliver content. On YT/Facebook most videos I see nowadays are 10min or above.

Actually, no, the initial limit was precisely because of SMS character limits - Twitter in the first few years had an SMS gateway where you could send a text and it would be posted under your account.

Obviously later on it was an arbitrarily kept limit, but the limit itself, even doubled, makes it a horrible platform for any kind of debate.

The whole idea behind Twitter (character limits etc.) was obviously a bad idea from the moment texting became obsolete thanks to IM services.

Why do you presume that all AI advancement is purely by technofascists?

Nu-uh, there’s literally like 8 seasons worth of a docuseries on Nickelodeon about airbending!

They banned all AI regulations unless it affects MAGA detrimentally

Europe On Line? EOL? End of line.

Guess Conservapedia wasn’t conservative enough.

Oh, good to know. Last time I checked around WASM this wasn’t really an option.

See the main issue with that is you need to bundle everything into the app.

Modern computing is inherently cross-dependent on runtimes and shared libraries and whatnot, to save space. Why bundle the same 300MB runtime into five different apps when you can download it once and share it between the apps? Or even better, have a newer, backwards compatible version of the runtime installed and still be able to share it between apps.

With WASM you’re looking at bundling every single dependency, every single runtime, framework and whatnot, in the final binary. Which is fine for one-off small things, but when everything is built that way, you’re sacrificing tons of storage and bandwidth unnecessarily.
