I have had the same Arch install for years where Ubuntu on the other hand breaks after 2-3 major version upgrades from accumulated cruft.

It is important to keep Arch updated but sometimes I go a month or two without doing it.

Occasionally they have some update that’s not backwards compatible and you have to be a bit careful about it but if it breaks someone already has the answer on the forums from earlier that week. You can also install “informant” which displays the latest arch news post before installing because they usually warn you when there’s a breaking change.

TrueNAS is pretty good and they have a Linux version which will have better compatibility with your game servers.

It depends if you’re lucky with the exact model of sensor you have

If you’d like to try mbin https://fedia.io/ is a good instance. Run by Jerry from infosec.exchange.

Personally I support software diversity and Earnest seems like a nice person but Lemmy has a bigger development community and I wanted the mobile apps.

I liked that they had special privacy tech other VPNs don’t have but they didn’t allow you to choose the location so it was unusable for me.

I want my VPN location to be my actual location so that the weather app doesn’t mess up and show the wrong city.

None I just look at new because there’s not enough content on Lemmy to filter it

I’m running FreeBSD I actually like it a lot.

I picked it for zfs. A lot of the ways things work seem cleaner and simpler than on Linux and zfs is awesome with the copy on write snapshots and filesystem compression and all that. I like rc.conf and pf is way nicer than iptables and even when you upgrade it automatically makes a snapshot so you can rollback.

Sometimes I do need to patch and compile things because people seem to not know freebsd exists but that’s really the only downside.

Plex supports extras just rip them to separate files. It’s true you lose the menu though.

It’s just that the compression on the disks is not very good and you can easily compress them a lot more without really any noticeable loss of quality.

Why not just convert them and save 20gb of storage space?
