Back

I have the god-given persistence of a damn anime protagonist and that's the only way I have gotten this far getting this damn TrueNAS NAS useful.

After a week of searching questions on forums, half of them look like some form of:

"I'm newish to network management. How do I get this [app/storage/feature] working?"

"Why do you want that? It's not best practice. You should Xilp++ instead"

"So if I Xilp I can get this working?"

"Yes. Xilp++. Ignore anyone who mentions classic Xilp. They're heathens who will burn."

"How do I Xilp? What is Xilp?"

"Xilp++, heathen"

"How do I Xilp++? I just want [app/storage/feature]"

"I can't explain everything for you. Do your own investigation."

Most threads never make it to the end but boy do a bunch of them start like that.

No, ladies, gents, and other folx, I acknoweldge that I can do a lot. I'm stupid AF about this stuff though.

But I am #ActuallyADHD and by God I'm gonna #hyperfocus my way towards a functional home built NAS or I'm gonna self immolate and fly through the sky like the goddam Human Torch,

Today I got SyncThing working. Writing notes to myself now about how to keep it working/expand it in the future.

Tomorrow? Plex.

After that? No. Don't talk to me.
