“Now announcing UnRAID 2, UnRAID original will no longer receive updates as we focus our resources on UnRAID 2.”

And “UnRAID 2” will only have a subscription model, and people will the OG lifetime license won’t be grandfathered into the new license.

Like Adobe and Photoshop.

I’d say it’ll happen before 2030.

But I may just be cynical at this point.

I am as well but it looks like it’s new accounts every time and they make just a single post, the spam post

At least this time the spam is just an image link to some random discord server and not CSAM

18 HDDs into it plus 5 SSDs

Sweating intensifies

That’s a lot of drives, I’ll have to look into that one for sure

If only there was an ATX or mATX version

Looks hella nice though

My first NAS was an old desktop that I got for $300 running an FX-6300 and a GTX 550, I slapped a couple hard drives in there, installed Ubuntu, and made an SMB share.

I’d recommend installing TrueNAS Scale on a system rather than doing what I did in part due to it being so much better than what I was doing, but you could run it on a potato if you wanted.

Hell my latest NAS upgrade is going from a PowerEdge T610 (tower server from like 2010ish) running TrueNAS Scale to a normal desktop (from 2017) running TrueNAS Scale

If anything using normal desktop hardware makes servicing it easier than using old server hardware

I’ve currently got the Meshify C (not the 2) for my main gaming rig and I’ve dug it the whole time I’ve had it; looking at the drive mounting for the Meshify 2 makes me really want it for sure as that looks really convenient

The more I looked at the Node 804 since I made this post the less I liked it

NGL I wish their North line of cases had more slots for HDDs

Last time I needed IO pins for a project I ended going with a circuit python compatible board

I think I went with a Qt Py with an esp32, it was like $15, has native type C, and was really easy to work with

Straight up some of those single board computers cost so much that I’ve just considered getting an old mini office PC

They’re really capable and can be had for like $100

I’ve got a 2007 Kia that I’m planning to drive until I can’t fix it anymore

So far that’s proving to be a pretty easy given the cost and availability of parts
