Do you get hit more than the average person?

When I ran Nextcloud, it broke every other update. Mostly because NC didn’t seem to care that anyone had a 7-year-old install being migrated along.

I wish someone would jailbreak the Google home and Chromecast devicea so we don’t have to throw them away in a year when Google abandons them.

“Italian”?

I build software manually about twice a year, and I’ll be honest, I can’t really say I’ve had that experience in many years. Whether I’m using debuild to generate a deb package or a simple make/make install, the stdout feedback points exactly to the issue 99% of the time.

Sorry you had that happen, must be frustrating.

You might (read: likely) have traffic shaping upstream of you doing something as well. You can test for that at sites that measure buffer bloat.

In that case, you can implement some kind of queing management like fq_codel to help with this.

Then you will have to do it with bridging.

Create a second bridge and bind only the wan interface and the physical interface of opnsense to it. Then create a 2nd interface for opnsense, but bind it to the brIdge libvirt uses to connect its guests.

• Debian is a dependency hell, otherwise fine.

I agree on the older packages (I don’t need cutting edge), but what do mean about “dependency hell”?

Side note, I laughed a bit at this, I haven’t heard the term “dependency hell” since the old rpm Redhat days before yum.

Portability is not really an aspect one needs to consider when it comes to a NAS

Hard disagree, and it is one of the best things about ZFS. You can plunk a ZFS pool on another system and be almost certain it will import. Systems die. Having been through several data-loss incidents, I find it is much preferable to be able to pull 1 disk than have to drag out 2 or three to transplant a ZFS pool.

Regarding the scrubs, I was trying to indicate that ZFS is more than just a raid manager, there are advantages to ZFS on even a single disk.

for a home NAS, the goal is maximising data storage capacity without a major hit on performance

If that were entirely true, striping would be the most popular ZFS pool arrangement, since you get performance and max storage.

Edit: this was not to say “you’re wrong”, just different approaches to storage.

You can passthrough more than one device at a time. This is probably the source of your slow speeds.

Add a virtual nic to the opnsense VM and bind it to the host bridge, that way you can use both the VM network and the physical LAN without a lot of faf.

A dual disk setup for ZFS (or any other kind of RAID) is super wasteful.

Based on what? I’ve been running ZFS since it was Solaris-only and raidz1/raidz2 are OK, but they come with complexity and performance penalties, and they’re somewhat less portable than a mirror. There are many advantages to simple mirrors: first-response reads, block correction, scrubs, etc.

That’s unusual behaviour for a torrent client. Even on a very popular torrent, I see between 50 and 80 connections.

Make sure you are enforcing encryption and not accepting unencrypted peer connections.

That aside, the hexs (refresh) will be plenty, assuming you have symmetric upload/download. I have an old Hex (no SFP) I use to cordon off my storage network from anything but my servers, and it passes the full 940mbps (no jumbo frames).

You may want to check what is happening with your torrent client with top and iotop. Did you give torrents queue preference or something like that? They should not be interfering with other traffic that aggressively.

Holy moly… I’m sitting on a couple of installs I’ve upgraded from 2016. I’m too lazy to reinstall.

Scripting it isn’t that tricky.

I’m old and use rsync, with mtime and not(!) operands and I’m able to keep 7 daily, 4 weekly, and 4 monthly backups. Runs every day, the rest of the backups are pruned in this rolling window.

Are you not discussing factors to a successful foray by steam into VR?

Steam doesn’t win users and marketshare because of your needs. Or even hardware. It wins users because the steam library is already on the device.

I’ve used Linux since 1998, and several DEs. I’ve never heard the Windows key referred to as a “meta” key.
