I can’t say I’ve ever found him to speak too slowly, but you do you.

I think it’s Gaming Historian that does my head with that, or at least used to. Comedically slow.

Further distancing us from that bin-fire? Oh no. How awful.

I’d support a Lemmy-wide ban on posts with pro-advertiser censorship.

That sounds about where I’m at. I’m happy to spend all day outside and I prefer to be barefoot in general. But I want a bit of floor for sleeping on. Far too many nights spent in perpetually soggy tents!

I detest camping. I’ve camped in a number of places and it has never been good. I don’t care if it’s the rolling Mongolian steppe greeting me in the morning, it’s still horrible.

I like floors.

It took me a moment to realise this was about inner monologues.

Game development as a service.

Americans: We’re very unhappy with the status quo
Dems: Best I can do is more status quo

I’m watching from the sidelines but my gods, you guys need to take your politicians to account. Bricks for the current lot first, mind. The two “sides” aren’t equal - one is awful and the other is redefining how bad human beings can be without directly sending people to gas chambers.

Maurice: ‘To my right, heh, to everyone’s right in fact, we have congressman Alex Shrub; the youngest state congressman to ever be elected by Vice City and now a respected man in the capital. Mr. Shrub got elected because he has great hair and says things that make you nod your head. His campaign appealed to the wealthy because he set all of us at ease by confirming, “It’s okay to be rich, as long as you say you care about the children.” Mr. Shrub, welcome!’

Alex: ‘That’s not entirely true, Maurice. My campaign also appealed to the poor… who were too stupid to understand what I’m saying, so I held up pretty pictures and then I gave out candy bars to appeal to their most base insticts.’

I’m reminded of the scientist paid for by big tobacco in Thank You for Smoking…

Surely it’s a clone given that it clones the game mechanics specifically? As in the rules of the game are 1:1 to Civ V, or as close as you’d need to be an expert in the game to tell the difference.

Our towns and cities centres are dying because there’s no realistic way for most businesses to bring in enough to make the numbers add up when factoring in premises. The costs are insane. Trying to get enough trade to cover that and wages is a non-starter for most businesses. Commercial premises have essentially priced themselves out of the market.

That creepy dude is still at Gearbox?

That’s essentially what I’m saying - we need to learn to provide our own recognition for our competence.

These are internal drives connected to a desktop PSU wired to a USB interface to connect to the laptop.

Haha, yeah. It does make me wonder whether I should bin the whole TrueNAS approach entirely. It seems like a tremendous faff when I could just have the files mirrored to another disk as a backup.

The hard disks are on a separate power supply. The TrueNAS software is running on an old laptop so it effectively has UPS protection.

Yeah, another vote for Caddy. I’ve run nginx as a reverse proxy before and it wasn’t too bad, but Caddy is even easier. Needs naff-all resources too. My ProxMox VM for it has 256 MB of RAM!

Which logs specifically should I be checking?

zpool doesn’t see any pools to import. The system does see the disks but I’m not sure why the disks aren’t being checked for pools.

It seems to either be completely fine and a power cycle makes no difference - or it loses the whole structure. I don’t know how I’m supposed to pull the disks back in. It doesn’t seem to detect that they’re already setup as part of a pool.

The pool I’ve created doesn’t vanish but it seems my only option for it is “manage devices” which takes me to the “Add VDEVs to the Pool” menu where my three disks show up as unassigned. The only presented option seems to be to wipe them in order to add them back to the pool.

Trying to search for this stuff doesn’t seem to give me anything useful. I don’t know what the intended behaviour is and what it is that I’m doing wrong. I would expect what should happen is that the disks come back online and get automatically added back to the pool again but no, apparently not?
