If I were to guess, I'd say they may get a discount but Lenovo could be reducing their margin to incentivize people away from Windows so they can stop paying out Windows licenses in the future.

It isn't even a decade old... anyway, it got market share for a reason. It was immediately a big step up from other free offerings in ease of use, UI, and eventually in features too.

I have all my apps running in Docker under Jailmaker and I don't intend on moving to TrueNAS apps unless I am forced to. Currently I could move this entire setup to any machine I want, set up my jail mount points, launch up Dockge and I'd be up and running (with the same static IP at that!). If I moved to TrueNAS apps I think the transition and handling of mount points would probably be painful. If they remove jailmaker support in 25.xx like I've heard I'll look into Incus or other solutions before using their apps.

I installed this after seeing your v1 post and already got use out of it resizing some images on mobile. The only thing I noticed as lacking was a multiple file selector, so this is a great first update!

I see it in the default WebUI, perhaps whatever app you're using doesn't support it?

I added a cheap PCI 4 slot NVMe expansion card and a couple of SSDs for a new pool and then migrated all the database-heavy stuff over to it. Required some use of local ZFS send/receive which I didn't know was possible, but it has gone smooth so far. Very happy with it! It no longer sounds like my HDD pool is trying to escape from hell and some of the services are much snappier, especially Bitmagnet. I'd highly recommend it as an upgrade for anyone still running purely HDDs. I thought I could get away with it but ZFS speeds are no faster than single drives and the amount of stuff I had was hammering it non-stop.

I also bought my own domain finally to escape the free-tier dynamic DNS woes and I can finally feel good about sharing links with other people. I slapped a file share container with disabled registrations on a sub domain. I put it all behind free tier Cloudflare to hide my server's IP, it took a little bit of learning what the different records are but so far much easier than I thought. Although I have yet to do the hardest part of setting up dynamic IP for my DNS records. I see a bunch of scripts floating around, but none seem that easy or well-maintained...

Oh, and the PI I've had running Pi-Hole v5 for god knows how long with no maintenance couldn't run Tailscale, so I wiped the entire thing to start fresh and got it up and running with Pi-Hole v6, Tailscale, and Unbound. I like having these separated from my other services as they are more critical to have at all times and I have had 100% uptime with my Pi so far. Although I chose Dietpi for my OS on a whim because it looked interesting and am not sold on it. I like that it has easy software installs with sane defaults so I probably saved time overall, but the amount of time I spent debugging the weird choices Dietpi made for basic shit like networking options really threw me off.

I just wish more of the non-US ones supported .ca domains. :(

It's pretty bad. That said, I search for "gethomepage" and find it every time.

I tried Firefly but sadly had to give it up. Every action felt like such a slog to do and overkill for what I wanted. I love tracking in detail but it was a bit much even for me. At the end of the day I just want to track in/out + categories and put this data in a few charts. I still find my spreadsheet is better at that.

It's for people that like tracking things in detail, greasemonkey or no. I use it mostly for the gas mileage feature but also set up a couple of service reminders and added my service receipts. All easy to do but if you miss a fuel up it's kind of annoying to track it right.

I've had this happen twice in two weeks since installing Watchtower and have since scheduled it to only run on Friday evening...

Okay you go convince the government to re-appropriate Tesla. While you're doing that for the rest of your life everyone else will keep burning them to actually get something done.
