That is what I was afraid of. I have no coding skill at all, but would it be difficult to adapt the plugin to a standalone docker container? Just upload, and it automatically saves to your library of choice.

Sorry, I'm going to hijack this a bit.

Calibre on Windows has a great plugin called de-drm to help liberate your purchases from Amazon. Is there a way to use the plugin on the web version? Alternatively, is there an alternative software that allows that? Currently, I have to first use my desktop version, then upload the book to my server.

Building on this, I wonder if you could add a setting to customize your own algorithms. You could weight a variety of different metrics.

I use CX file server. It can create an SFTP connection. I also have a VPN through my router.

Syncthing may be easier if you don't have a VPN.

FYI, unRAID is moving to a subscription, so if you want to try it out, it might be good now before they change.

Also, I thought I read that docker/portainer was possible on TrueNas. You might check it out if Kubernetes is giving you trouble. I might be wrong, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work on the base Debian install.

The comments on the community and OneDrive implemention are helpful. I do remember seeing one post from someone asking about running only one hdd in TruNAS. You're right, the comments were very rude. I guess it's a bigger problem than I realized.

I don't have any experience with Kubernetes, I'll check on that.

If you had to start over, what NAS software would you look at?

A theory I follow is that Musk got hold of some findom customer lists and built his customer base from those. His customers love getting financially fucked by that guy.

I think both are on zfs, so that should be good.

I'm definitely a "no clue what I'm doing" user, so GUIs are helpful.

Thanks for the feedback, it's helpful.

Yes, this is my thinking. I mainly need a NAS that will let me use some services. I'm just not sure what I'll be missing if I forgo Proxmox. I'm assuming it is a lot of advanced settings I don't need, but other users mentioned backups as a positive for Proxmox.

Thanks for the response.

This is my first experience with zfs. So far I've been okay with the Proxmox UI, but I also haven't tried anything other than vanilla VMs. I've enjoyed using Proxmox and learning it, but it also seems like an extra layer that I'm going to have to keep updated and maintained.

I might expand storage, but as it is, I'm doubling my current available storage, I have enough offsite backup capacity for a long time, and I'll have the original 4tb external HDD if I want to shuck it. The main issue is getting all my data centralized with as little duplication as possible.

Can you explain how it is limited?

I'm assuming that TrueNas has basic features, and that I only need basic features, so Proxmox is probably overkill for me. What would I be missing if I only used TrueNas for virtualization? Before they talk about backups. It's there anything else?

Reminds me of Hillary Clinton. She installed allies throughout the Democratic party to ensure that she got the nomination. Then had a disastrous run and screwed up the financing for other candidates.

Hopefully we'll see another disaster for the Republican party. Who was it that said that Trump would destroy the Republican party if allowed in?

Thanks for the feedback. More to think about...

So is your TrueNas in a Proxmox VM? Did you try VMs in TrueNas?

I guess I'm trying to see the benefits of VMs in Proxmox versus VMs in TrueNas Scale. My use case is not very complicated, so I'm wondering if I can simplify the setup by just using TrueNas.

Thanks for the clarification and the other information. It's helpful.

By a backup server, is that an additional component to my proxmox install? Could I back things up to the offsite Synology? I assume it isn't a separate box on the network?

In what ways is proxmox virtualization more flexible than TrueNas? I thought it was fairly similar for basic things (my use case). I do realize they are built for different purposes, I just don't need a lot of virtualization.

For some reason I've never had luck setting up network shares for Windows on my network. I should really figure that out.

Thanks for the response. I'll check it the backup server in more detail.

Feels a little like appealing to some patriarchal emotional bs, like they're hoping we all fly into a blind rage over it.

This is exactly what they are doing, except they aren't targeting all of us to such a degree. They only need to persuade a small percentage of opponents into inaction on the issue. They only need to persuade a small percentage of neutrals into support.

It changed my life. I encountered so many new ideas that challenged my upbringing. I was also able to travel through exchange programs.

I hate recommending to people that they should put themselves into crippling debt for a college education. Unfortunately, I don't know another way to rigorously challenge your beliefs, ideas and skills outside of college. You have to be somewhat special to read diversely and vociferously to do that.

It seems you're just trolling now, especially with your username.

It's the trolley problem. It is much more difficult for people to be an active part of genocide by voting for Biden than simply not voting and allowing a worse outcome to happen if Trump becomes president..
