Depends on the operating system of the NAS, but generally the NAS will want to format the drive. Even if you can somehow get it running without a disk format you’re generally in an unsupported configuration.

A big point of a NAS in my mind is to run some sort of redundancy, which means you will want to setup a RAID on the drives in the NAS, and that in turn means that my recommendation wouldn’t be to chuck existing drives into the NAS solution but to setup the NAS drives and then copy your data to it.

Dedicated NAS hardware storage is usually accessed over SMB, NFS or SFTP and most software has support for one of those protocols.
Some services can have hiccups when running against networked storage, f.e. Jellyfin might lose library metadata if the Jellyfin service’s library scan is started and the networked storage is unavailable.

We’ve done our first crypt this playthrough then we got busy building rest stops and roads, farming and all that. Good job getting to the mistlands!

First time meeting a monster can be a bit scary, especially the sea serpent on a stormy ocean, but you get used to them and soon enough they start to look like moving resource piñatas.

Practice blocking and dodging and prioritize having a good shield and good food buffs and most things work themselves out.

The wife and I has returned to Valheim on a selfhosted dedicated server during the holidays, not sure if an adventuring party is the party you were thinking about. I’ve been /dancing on the ship as she steers it over the ocean though.

Most of the “party” games I have require no self hosting, it’s just split/shared screen co-op on the TV, Gang Beasts is a favourite and depending on what friends are over Genital Jousting can also be booted up for some laughs.

If you’re in a situation where you can replace your router with a pfsense or opnsense as per that guide I would definitely go for it. I’ve setup some pfsense devices with openvpn servers and it’s been one of the smoother installs imo and they make the self-signed client certificate part really easy to get right.

I must be lucky with my ISPs then, no trouble using 443/tcp for me.
To my knowledge Wireguard runs over UDP.
edit: And the reason to use 443/tcp is because it’s a port that will be open as outgoing from wherever your client tries to call home.

I have no idea what the FUTO guide is but I would make sure to setup the openvpn server so that you connect with user+password+client certificate.
That and being able to set it up to use 443/tcp are the primary benefits to openvpn compared to wireguard in my mind.

Meanwhile I’m hoping for the technology to get more efficient and require less compute to achieve worthwhile results.
I’d rather have a small specialised local language model that knows everything about a small field, f.e. vegetarian cooking recipes or maintenance and repair of <specific car model>, but nothing about anything else.
I’m just not comfortable with giving all my data to a generalised large language model running on someone else’s computer.

Most of the old settings are at least easily reached if you can remember their names such as ncpa.cpl for the settings you mention but when you write “control printers” you get sent into the new Settings view now. Instead you gotta go to the control panel and change view from category to small or large icons to finally right click Devices and Printers and choose “open in a new window” to get there. If you left click it you get sent to the new Settings view.

I hope you find out that it’s a not very necessary service that is the culprit, so that you can simply skip it. :)

Is it your cpu or your ram that hits the roof? Is it the host OS/Portainer or the services you run on it?
Here’s how to check container usage in Portainer: https://docs.portainer.io/user/docker/containers/stats

I guess you’ve already done updates on your packages in termux?

Updating:
pkg upgrade
ani-cli -U

I see that ani-cli prefer to use yt-dlp to ffmpeg if it’s available so you could try installing that too.

Ah, I always associate my .txts with notepad++ - notepad.exe is only started from Win+R as a temporary clipboard.

Have they removed the option to disable the alias and bring back the old notepad.exe?

I definitely understand your view and personally don’t see a way to disrupt the market either. I just hope someone else finds a way.

Ah - there’s your problem. VC companies simply don’t do that.

They most certainly do and then either cash in by selling to the next more risk adverse VC or sells it at a loss if they believe the company failed to disrupt the market.

When is the next VC driven company that focuses more on growth than profit coming? I feel Netflix and all the other streaming services are ripe to be overtaken in the same way Netflix overtook tv channel packaging.
