💓~eva~💓Sometimes 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>

Chris is.Okay, we're gonna be yeeting our Echo devices shortly. What're good alternatives?

Dropped on Redhat's "<a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/cockpit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cockpit</a> machines" today and so far it seems perfect, very easy to spin up new VMs and access them through a polished web UI, as well as manage the host itself.

Dom 🦻Hey <a href="https://masto.ctms.me/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> folks, I'm curious what others do for brainstorming/testing environment. I'll find something I want to try out or test some new configuration and I'm not happy with my current setup. I am looking to build out a way I can test something without slapping it onto my production stuff. Do you spin up new VMs? On your desktop/laptop? Have a test machine? What do y'all do?

Carlos Rodrigues 🪣I've spent maybe way too much time tinkering with my home Internet connection in the past couple of years. Because... why not?I like my OpenWRT device, and it has had a real quality-of-service impact at home. And it's fun.Last month I did a presentation on this at a local meetup — more of an introduction around latency and queueing than a prescriptive technical tutorial.Folks had a bunch of questions afterwards, and that was fun too.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZMZS8Js7co" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZMZS8Js7co</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#networking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/openwrt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openwrt</a>
