Yeah. I have a RAIDz2 on super old version of FreeNAS. 8x4TB.

I’ve been needing to upgrade for about a year now. I’ve been waiting for the prices to go lower…. News about WD forced my hand for 8x18TB. Not $$ I was looking to spend, but fomo my upgrade could now be much further way pushed me to just do it.

A surprisingly fun game. It exceeded my expectations. I have played it more than I thought I would.

Yes it can improve their scores if the main user keeps it in good standing. It can have a negative impact if the main user doesn’t make payments on time, maxes it out, etc.

It might not be a blanket rule, but if, as an authorized user, you see the line of credit on your credit report it is impacting it.

Once you get it setup, start looking for homeassistant compatible hardware instead. There is a lot. Even some big brands use protocols (zigbee, zwave, matter) that can connect to homeassistant without a need for their hub (granted you do have a HA hub) or cloud connection.

I try to stay away from WiFi if possible, but if home assistant compatible I’ll use it.

Haven’t seen Dead Cells mentioned. Love that game.

That’s amazing. I’m on my own espresso journey. Even knowing all the theory going in, consistent execution can be elusive.

Good luck to you and cheers to great coffee at home.

Does running pi hole make this redundant, or are they solving different problems?

I wish I could upvote you more than once

Adding to this. A pressure cooker brings the cook time down dramatically and I think it produces a superior result.

Doesn’t losing a vdev cause the entire pool to be lost? I guess to your point with sufficient redundancy for new vdev 1 drive redundancy whether 3 disks or 5 is essentially the same risk. If a vdev is added without redundancy that would increase risk of losing the entire pool.
