I just wanted to thanks the Dev team!  
I have everything expected and more from the software!!! Everything has be stable for months! 
I have a working NAS, and automated media server,  ai, plus extras. 

Thanks for your hard work, 
Brad

I was surprised when I was unable to find the built in tool S.M.A.R.T tests in the GUI for testing your drives in true NAS.

NOTE* You should still be able to run in cron jobs

25.10 (Goldeye) Version Notes | TrueNAS Documentation Hub

How do you guys feel about this feature being removed?

I have shelved it for now as I want more apps to be available. From the single click. 

Will this affect HexOS in the long term?

Old NAS - Netgear ReadyNAS quad-core ARM processor w/ 2GB RAM streamed 5Ghz wirelessly via direct connect to router using 1GB NIC.

New NAS - Aoostar WTR PRO Intel N100 w/ 32GB RAM streamed 5GHz wirelessly via direct connect to router using 2.5GB NIC.

Old NAS streamed via DLNA with zero issues streaming both 1080p and 4k 10bit HDR content in mostly x256 .mkv files.

New system experiences the transcoding lag (visual glitching on the screen) about ~20% of the content I attempt to stream. i can't seem to correlate content to trancoding lag - meaning one directory with x264 .mkv will lag but not another similarly spec'd file. Same with x265 .mkv - one folder works, another does not.

I suspect this is Plex attempting to transcode my media and I have attempted to force "direct play" both at the app and the server as i know my TV can handle the content (same content streamed via DLNA via the previous NAS), but I am missing something.

What am I missing?

Thank you!!!

(edit to tag @Sonic as he has the same device)

Does this compliment HexOS or is a similar alternative?

I see a lot of new NAS vendors entering the market with great hardware specs. And there is also great NAS software available. Of course HexOs is not there yet, but looks very promissing. But e.g. a brand as Ugreen in also investing heavely in the software. I had expect a stonger answer of Synology, but perhaps they are not so interested in home / SoHo space anymore.

What do you think? Looking forward to hear your opinion.
 

I didn't see an off topic thread for car enthusiasts, and I'm sure there are at least a few here.

What do you drive? What's the most fun car you've owned? What kind of projects do you have planned?

Let's hear it all!

Curious about other's experience with it.

So yeah I just can't wait until HexOS finally says "we're making it official" and "look we have more than 2 apps have fun!"

I know that VMs is not currently supported, but my idea is currently to run pfSense in a VM (if it's not already an app) and route WAN through it.

Cabinet space
Depth: 115-140 mm (~25 mm is a cut out for the fiber-box that can't be moved, but is located in one corner)
Width: 445-575 mm (~130 mm is the fiber-box)
Height: 335-365 mm (~30 mm is the fiber-box)

Case wishes

• Support disk hot swap.
  Not really needed, but would be cool. It will probably be easier to just disconnect it and take it out of the cabinet. And the reason for having hot swap is then lost by that point.

I have seen Minisforum's MS-01, but one OS disk and two mirrored disk does not really entices me.
ASUSTOR Flashstor (Gen1) seems cool, but does not have any wifi (for the router), but that could maybe be added with USB? Or by placing a switch/AP on the case's "LAN-port".
I haven't found any ATX/ITX case (at least that I have chosen to remember), but that would be the preferred option, so the hardware can be updated without buying an entire new system.

I wanted to create this thread as a friendly space where we can all introduce ourselves and get to know each other better. Whether you’re new to the community or you’ve been here for a while, feel free to stop by and tell us a little about yourself—your hobbies, interests, or anything you’d like to share.

I’ll go first to kick things off:

Hi, I’m Stefano 🙂

I’m a tech enthusiast and a bit of a nerd. I absolutely love exploring new technologies and working with Linux, especially when it comes to configuring servers. Experimenting with different setups and solving technical challenges are some of the things I enjoy the most.

Outside of tech, music plays a huge role in my life. I’m a big fan of jazz and R&B for their smooth and soulful vibes, and I also love metal for its raw energy and power. My taste is pretty eclectic, and I enjoy discovering new artists and sounds.

I’m always curious and eager to learn, whether it’s about technology, music, or something completely new. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you and hearing your stories—so don’t be shy! Jump in and introduce yourself.

Now it’s your turn! Feel free to share as much or as little as you’d like. We’re all here to connect and learn from each other.

Welcome aboard!

The videos are 1080p and are set to direct play with no transcoding.

The "Limit remote stream bitrate" is set to 10 Mbps (1080p). Can this be reduced to 8 Mbps (1080p) without losing too much quality?

My NAS is an old  QNAP TS- 453 Pro - Intel Celeron Quad Core 16gig Ram. 

Internet connection speed 924/46 Mbps

Thanks for any input.

Turns out THIS guy created a ZFS snapshot application that looks really promising. I've not done anything other than look through the repo but I like what I see so far and wanted to share.

Tagging @Sonic @Theo and @PsychoWards because of the thread comments in THIS post. While not totally on topic to that thread, it made me remember that I should share this content.

Editorial Short:

I've only been following this guy for about a year and despite his dry delivery find his content easily digestible, thorough and informative. Enjoy!
