https://www.gingerling.co.uk/swapping-my-to-more-power-efficient-hardware-my-hexos-nas-how-did-it-go/ Hi Gang!! I've been a bit quiet over the summer as I went backpacking with my little kids in Europe. We had an amazing time but I was totally exhausted after. The above is my latest blog. the tldr is I nearly halved my running costs with a change to hardware that wasn't expensive. Honestly the kit is about the same price as what I had already paid for to begin with. Next I will finally get to running this update and be back soon with that story 🙂 Hope you're all having fun!!

Seems like I already explained this kindly enough. Here's my last shot. To most, no terrible product is made good by having quality and clear documentation, change logs, tutorials, release cycles, roadmaps, etc. Most casual users never even look at any of that stuff. They expect things will be obvious and just work. If they don't, they give up. What is obvious to all users, not just the most basic ones: it is painfully annoying to use any terrible product, where the developers are not given time and space to do their best work. Especially in beta, when there are big and frequent changes that periodically make whole swaths of docs, tutorials, release cycles, roadmaps, etc. obsolete and useless, working on stuff like that is an annoying waste of effort. The quality of an OS is not purely in its code, but it is mostly in its code. While one can have both quality communication and a quality product, if I had to allocate development resources of a project in beta, I would allocate them to product, not communication. Especially because bad communication can be much worse than no communication. The impetus for my comments was the fact the other people brought up marketing, and I also get why they stopped replying.

Fyi, Q3 update went live today along with a new docs site: docs.hexos.com We are listening to you guys!

Its 1:44am where I'm at, can't sleep and also pretty excited for the Q3 update!

The screenshot below is what we see when updating the system from the command dashboard. It simply shows a basic window with very little info, if any. It would be nice to see a progress bar indicating how much of the update has been downloaded and when it will actually reboot. It would also be great if we could get an autorefresh on the page after 2 minutes or whatever.

great idea — native UPS support would be a big win, especially for anyone running Hexos in environments where power isn’t always reliable.

Hey all. Q3 update coming Monday. Bunch of other goodies and content with it.

TrueNAS has drivers for UPS (particularly from APC) built-in, if I'm not mistaken?
