Indeed. Dude my main pc is just a modest last gen r7 32G with decent gpu. And I’m glad I pulled the trigger for the 16g upgrade last year.

Now I don’t personally believe in higher being, but I’ll be lying if I’m not nervous everytime I power up the thing. If anything breaks even if I go a tier cheaper I couldn’t afford the replacement.

CopyParty is amazing. I also use https://localsend.org/, for one off transfer. Pretty easy to set up if you didn’t have complicated firewall.

Configurability? I mean Truenas Scale is also based on Debian, but it’s an appliance software, if you want NAS it’s purpose made for that. You need to configure Debian yourself if you want functioning NAS.

I still remember when TN doesn’t have native Tailscale apps/docker yet and everytime there’s a Truenas update I need to reinstall and set up Tailscale from scratch.

If you just need a NAS with basic apps/docker, there is no reason to just use Truenas.

I use both, but run a Technitium DNS and Frigate on bare Debian.

Ente

Get a better back, please.
