FreeNAS is what experienced/wise long-time unix admins will setup at home for their giant anime SAN/NAS because:

- they've been around the block long enough to know that FreeNAS can do 95% of what they need better than they can do it, with far less chance of errors introduced, but with 95% less of their valuable time needed to do it

it's that simple honestly.

if you already know how to do setup/configure/tune/tweak all of the components inside FreeNAS specific to your environment, congrats, you're already a great unix admin. you've been in your career a while, and you're probably pretty well paid.

but why would you spend your valuable per$onal time to faff about setting up/configuring/tuning/tweaking what FreeNAS can do out of the box, unless you have an edge case scenario that FreeNAS doesn't cover or can't do well?

for the same reasons, again i must specify -- unless you have very specific edge case scenario(s)/situation(s) or wanted to use this as a learning exercise -- why would you:

1) hand-craft your own *BSD or Linux-based firewall/VPN/router, instead of using pfsense/iptraf/etc

2) hand-craft, build and create your own Wifi router OS image, instead of using OpenWRT

3) roll your own port monitoring and OS proc monitoring notification system, instead of using Nagios/BigBrother/etc

so to get back to your OG question of

> If I already know my way around FreeBSD and around a command line, why would I want to use FreeNAS instead of just sticking to vanilla FreeBSD?

because your time is valuable, and because FreeNAS can do 95% of what you need better than you can do it.

Agreed. I tried it a few times over the years and found the results to be pretty poor, but I tried again recently and found the results to be good enough to fully switch both my computer and phone to DDG.

Although I'm fully switched over, there are 2 drawbacks:

* Since DDG tracks you less, the results for local searches may be worse. If you're in Boston, TX you'll probably want to search for "boston, tx restaurants" whereas I'm guessing Google could handle "boston restaurants" if your location is in Boston, TX.

* Finding brand new results seems a bit harder. I found this especially true when searching for election results. Searching for, e.g., "nevada election results" was showing me results from 2016 and 2018 on the day of those elections this year. Now the DDG results seem to correctly point to 2020 results.

It's shown on my account too, it's the only thing shown. I use a Container to ensure Facebook doesn't connect my presence there to anything else, but evidently "Lan Tim 2" wasn't fooled and somehow connected... something to that account.

I also have access to an account for a fictitious member of an old web comedy group I was part of. They don't have anything from Lan Tim 2, but Lê Linh did register some "Off-Facebook Activity". Which is impressive for a person who doesn't even exist. Good quality data, obviously, from both Lan Tim 2 and Lê Linh.

The biggest issue with ketogenic diets is elevated level of cholesterol, which is generally considered harmful, though there are different views on this topic.
gluconeogenesis
I have but in my case it is not caused by continued low carbon diet and should be avoided and is not so nice due all the side effects it has. Everyone who takes any form of diabetic medication should ask their physician about the consequences as it might interfere with the medication or require adjustment and can cause acidosis even if you have normal glucose levels. On the other hand, especially for type 2 diabetics, there is some indication it might be beneficial (if done properly and coordinated).
As it turns out, insulin resistance, like that associated with type-2 diabetes, is also related to inflammation (apparently due to cytokines: https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/inflammation-and-diabetes), which in turn is correlated with heart disease.

As I understand it (disclaimer: I'm not a doctor), the inflammation results in damage to the blood vessels, which your body repairs by using cholesterol, among other things, that are in your blood. When LDL cholesterol (the "bad" kind of cholesterol) is used in this way, it calcifies over time, leading to hardening of the arteries. As someone with a high CAC score and premature calcification of my arteries, my doctors have advised me to move to a low-carb diet and combine that with statin drugs to lower my LDL cholesterol. Low carbs generally means lots of meat and lots of saturated fat, which is the opposite advice that doctors traditionally have given for patients at risk of heart disease.

Lately there have been lots of studies that show that dietary LDL cholesterol is only very loosely correlated with LDL cholesterol in your blood--primarily because the cholesterol in your blood is produced in your pancreas, not ingested/absorbed from your stomach. So I did a self experiment--go on a ketosis diet for 3 months before I started taking my statins and test to see if my LDL cholesterol changed. It didn't--it went slightly down in my case. Then I went on statins--now my LDL cholesterol is at "normal" levels.

So, basically as I understand it, low carb diets can help prevent your body damaging your arteries in the first place, such that they don't need repair. Then, the statins lower my LDL cholesterol such that when my arteries do need repair, the cholesterol that is used doesn't calcify over time. Basically I'm attempting to address my heart disease from both sides: prevent the damage in the first place, and remove calcifying LDL cholesterol from my bloodstream when arterial repair is necessary.

Note that this is all pretty cutting edge stuff, and we don't have good studies to demonstrate its effectiveness yet. If you have issues with calcification of your arteries, it is best to work with your doctor to find a program that works for you.

I tried switching a bunch of times over the years but finally in the last six months or so I've found DDG to be good enough to use full time.

I probably went three or four months without even using the "!g" command. I actually just yesterday ran into some issues and had to use "!g" - for some reason DDG struggled with the concept of "fish shell" and kept bringing me back results about seafood.

> If you are new to managing, chances are you'll be managing people earlier in their careers as well.

I agree with many parts of your comment but I think this comment warrants some caution.

In many cases, adding in a layer of new leadership is to help spread the EM demands across all ICs, not just those new to their careers. I have TLMs who manage senior and principal engineers.

My job, as director, is to guide those TLMs into understanding the exact needs of those direct reports, regardless of the ICs rank or role. Everyone is unique in their needs - not only in their role but as people.
It is factually wrong. The correct way to phrase it would be that anyone can commit moral hazard and sign up for a public plan in response to a sudden need for medical treatment. So insurance can be available in a way that defeats the purpose of insurance systems.

However:

1) This is not free

2) This is not likely to save you from enormous medical costs

3) This is about on par with filing taxes. Probably easy to do if you understand the basics of whats going on, but few people do.
I've been using DDG for about three years now and I still use !g a lot, but I really shouldn't. Google practically never finds what I'm looking for if DDG can't.

>When you use terms like "pain", that suggests that RSS is significantly worse than other options in this respect.

Sorry for not being clear. The "pain" of RSS or "pain" of Facebook/Twitter is multi-dimensional and so it's not just comparing 1-for-1 annoyances such as "extra click to get to the real publisher website" being equivalent with RSS vs Facebook.

>RSS/Atom remains the only option where it's at all common to get the whole article without clicking a link and taking a shotgun blast of JavaScript to the face.

Yes that's true but the other "pain" that normal mainstream users don't want to deal with is setting up a separate RSS reader/app. They already have Facebook loaded because that's where there friends are. They also don't want the pain of finding relevant RSS feeds and curating them. Facebook already gives them suggested articles passively. And it's irrelevant if Facebook's newsfeed algorithm is bad; the selling point is that it's passive and automatic and the typical non-HN user doesn't have to bother configuring anything. So for normal typical websurfers, RSS theoretically is a solution for news aggregation, but it also creates new problems they don't want to deal with. Yes, HN techies are happy to fine-tune RSS feeds; but regular users have no interest in that.

And if you want to mention how RSS is the option that sometimes provides full text, you also have to be fair and mention that the real websites are the option that sometimes provides video. A lot of normal mainstream web surfers love rich content like video for consuming news.

Again, I keep trying to focus the discussion on the mass psychology and habits of non-HN mainstream users but people keep talking about the benefits that HN techies enjoy. We are already in this HN forum and already know what the benefits of RSS are. Thus, it doesn't actually add productive discussion to the OP's actual question.

In my personal case I'm not really able to enter and maintain good ketosis levels without also fasting intermittently.

Intermittent fasting is key to enabling me to lower my caloric input because of the momentum of the fasting phase carried over into the eating phase, e.g. smaller stomach and more effective metabolism. I currently fast about 12 hours per day (including the sleep phase), which doesn't sound like much but with the lowered caloric input it's actually pretty good. I can go longer easily when the circumstances demand it, and after crossing 16 hours I actually stop experiencing hunger completely. I plan to extend the fasting periods in the future, if easy and convenient.

As for whether ketosis is necessary - I believe I would not be able to fast intermittently without it, or at least not comfortably, which is necessary for any lifestyle change to be sustainable.

I'm not aware of any negative effects of being in ketosis for prolonged periods of time, and quite the opposite. I don't crave sugary foods anymore, and I dislike anything with even a trace of sweetness. I was surprised to discover how good the body really is at detecting what food is good for it, once in ketosis.

My main food sources currently are avocado, egg, tahini and drinks based on almond or walnut milk. I'm also using vitamin and mineral supplements, mostly in fluid forms. I'm 42 and I wish I had known about keto as early in my life as possible, not when I was forced to explore it due to declining health. Ketosis gives you a stable level of energy through the day and allows you to fully focus on life and the tasks at hand.
In the last couple of months my experience With DDG has been very good. I consistently got better results than Google.
Yes. Degenerate marketers don't find anything wrong with this but it is a clear violation. Lan Tim 2 probably doesn't care though.
These NAS targeted distros are amazing. However, my needs are simple. I just don’t need 90% of the features they have.

Maybe I’m just a simpleton but I run an rsync script each night. The beauty is that if I accidentally delete something I can easily recover it and if a drive fails I lose less than one days worth of data. This trade-off is well worth it for me.

If I had several drives I’d use SnapRAID to cut down on costs.

Oh and I’m lazy so I installed CentOS on it. In several years when CentOS reaches EOL I’ll just buy new hardware and install the newest version.

Your conclusion is not supported in the mentioned URL.

What has been described in the URL could've happened with a FreeNAS or TrueNAS or Open Media Vault system or just about any system. RAID is never a backup, and one backup is not enough.
I once had a college HCI project where I designed the simplest possible TV UI (menus + on-display affordances + remote affordances.) I think I ended up with five buttons, and one menu. All the "settings" were automatic calibrations done during setup. You could re-trigger them by running the setup wizard again, but that's it.

Now, I am probably not a "professional TV user"... but neither are 99% of people who use TVs. Even if most of the complexity of a TV is important to the few people who, say, install one as part of an IMAX-certified home-theatre setup, most people want a TV that "just works" and gets out of their way—even if it's working in a sub-optimal way! They want a remote that can 1. turn the thing on, 2. control volume on their TV and/or soundbar; 3. switch input sources; and 4. proxy through to menu around in the streaming boxes/game consoles/etc. they own; and that's it. You don't even need the setup button on there—you can get up and press that on the TV itself.

The funny thing is, by default, TVs both have more functionality, but actually fewer desired features, than what I'm describing. People tend to have to buy a ridiculous 100-button (or digital touch-screen) Harmony remote just in order to get "turn on the TV" and "menu around in your streaming box" on the same remote. Why?
> This PR release is completely unnecessary if Facebooks intentions were simply to stop the phishing attacks.

That's not their goal at all (obviously).

This is at best tangentially related, but I once had a business model where I asked people to send me a friend request on Facebook. Rather than give them the FB URL directly, I registered [name]onfacebook.com and just had that on the card they received. All the domain did was redirect to my profile. No interstitial, the URL was replaced on redirect, literally just so I could say "[name] on facebook dot com" and have be easy to remember.

Less than a week later I received a nastygram from FB legal about protecting their copyright and that they expected me to shut the domain down immediately.
Except that it's where the people that I would choose to socialize are. My twitter social graph is has nearly no overlap with my FB graph. For me twitter is mostly writers/literary types, FB is mostly people I know in real life (although most of my interaction on FB has been with interest-based communities for which no analogue exists outside of FB).

That said, I'm doing a social media fast for Lent. It's entirely possible that when Easter comes I might not go back to either Twitter or Facebook.
I switched over to DDG a few weeks ago. I slowly regressed to more and more !g usage, and finally switched back to GOOG a couple days ago. Then just an hour ago I searched for "google fiber stadia", because I was curious how well they work together. The main reddit result opened in an amp page (and of course reddit pressured me to install the mobile app). I went back to the results and started scrolling down. I honestly couldn't tell at a glance what was ads, amp, or normal links. I personally feel like I'm in a bit of a no-man's land right now when it comes to search, but I think DDG really has a window of opportunity.
That's a good point, and one I often wonder about too. Maybe advanced civilizations are not expansionist. However it doesn't make a good solution to Fermi's Paradox because all civilizations would have to not be expansionist, if there were just a few exceptions they'd expand all over and we'd likely spot them.
