I'm still running TrueNAS Core, but I'm in the process of moving to the Community Edition. I'm doing a wholesale backup data, start from scratch, restore data to fix some initial choices in my zpool I wasn't happy with.
I'm dreading setting up Plex and Syncthing again so I've been dragging my feet. Seeing the comment about dreading each update isn't exactly lifting my feet out of the dirt.
I decided to receive my Librem 5 I ordered in August of 2019 and shipped in April 2023. From the reports by the people who received the first non-test batches of phones (the "Evergreen" batch), I knew this was never going to be a daily driver. Their software team just isn't up to the task of pounding a Linux system into the shape of what people expect from a cellphone. The type of person who is using this daily only needs phone and SMS, charges it most of the day (or carries extra batteries), and can contort the rest of their needs into a ten year old hardware platform with immature display support. So mine just sits in my drawer of curiosities.
The issue with Planet Computer's Linux support is the lack of it. They all rely on custom kernels using Android drivers and libhybris to function. For both the Cosmo Communicator and Gemini PDA they glue together a bootable version of Debian, tick the checkbox for "it runs Linux" and then call it a day.
Kind of. It was kind of like a community in a box. The server and client software were dead simple to use and could be run off of a potato. You would get a message board, live chat, and file sharing all in one package. Servers could be advertised on a Tracker that could be queried from within the client. I was a Windows and BeOS user at the time and spent a fair amount of time bumming around anime and music themed servers. Also ran into one or two servers with big "Coast To Coast AM" vibes. Fun times.
I did some VPN hopping and connecting to an endpoint in Dallas has allowed me to start watching again. Not live though, that throws me back into buffering hell.
