Would still use that 2nd drive as a backup instead of RAID.
If e.g. your filesystem gets corrupted RAID won't help you, a separate backup will.

(that was way bigger than I anticipated)
 
If you arrange the binary into pairs of two octets it could look good. IMO the hex is going to be hard to make it look neat. (This doesn't include spaces btw. It's "thistooshallpass")

EDIT: Also something to bear in mind is capital letters. "this too shall pass" and "This too shall pass" will translate differently.

lol I attended a talk on access based enumeration by one of the consultants at my last job so glad I retained something useful 😄

As long as you keep your system up to date, you'll mostly be protected against vulnerabilites that can lead to a ransomware infection. Phishing is typically the leading cause for ransomware infections, much easier for attackers if you just give them the access they need. For shares, the more vulnerable part is going to be the endpoints that are actually accessing the shares rather than TrueNAS itself, provided you don't have TrueNAS exposed to the internet via port forwarding or such.
 
If you were hit with ransomeware, I wouldn't rely on snapshots as a reliable backup solution, I'd be advising to completely wipe and restore from a proper backup that you know if good. By all means use them for things like accidental deletion and changes, but you said it yourself, a cold/offline backup is the best DR solution for protecting against ransomware, which is something RAID and snapshots do not protect against if the server is infected.
 
Some precautions you can take is to ensure that the account you use to access the shares is not the same account that has root/priveleged access to the NAS itself.

Just the one user? I've seen this happen when their locally cached domain profile gets goofed up. Purging that should fix it without removing and re-adding that PC from the domain or reformatting; I've done this many times:
 
Rename the C:\Users\[Their name] folder if it exists, then remove the associated registry key from:
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList  
(Export it to a file before deleting it, just in case.)
 
That should clear the PC out as though they've never logged into it before. If they get a normal session when they log in, you can grant access to the old C:\Users\[Their name] folder so they can rescue any files that aren't synced through OneDrive. Once they're sure they have everything, you can delete the old folder.
 
I don't think they'd be able to get that far if that was the problem. They'd get a "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed" error on login when the PC tries to authenticate.

Posting just to have the first build in this thread.

Cable Matters or Monoprice are my usual go to for Cat6a cable.
Cat7, per the spec, requires TERA connectors which are not the traditional 8p8c connections you get on other cables. Anything sold with 8p8c isn't in spec and is subject to being junk. Avoid it completely and just get some good Cat6a if you need 10g for 100m, or just regular Cat6 for 10g up to ~55m.

This is where we find out that Microsoft's Tay AI that went haywire has just been merged with ChatGPT and we're all doomed.

Just a note on pihole, be careful with using it for non-tech people. It will frequently block the sponsored links in search results, breaks a lot of things like Google shopping and can prevent sites from working. I had it running briefly while I lived with my parents and ended up getting rid of it because of how diffucult my mum found using basic things with it running (and she's pretty good with tech). Unexpected things like downloading an update for the infotainment system in her car didn't work because it was blocking required URLs.

That's because yours is missing panels.
 
The covers on the lower parts come off to leave the mesh (or the casse may have come with two panel types that can swapped out, can't remember)

 
The front pops off to get to the fans

GPT is seperate from NTFS. GPT is a partitioning type (as opposed to MBR) while NTFS is a file system on top of GPT.
 
@eco_bachThe issue you're having is two fold. You're trying to install to a parition with a file system already on it. If you want to install on disk 1, select each partition on disk 1 and click delete until disk 1 is nothing but unallocated space.
 
The second issue is that your system seems to only support booting from MBR as you're using a legacy BIOS rather than UEFI. You'll need to convert disk 1 to use MBR rather than GPT. You can do this via diskpart in the installation interface:

Go to the LAN tab on the left, then at the top you should have a DHCP tab. In DHCP settings set the DNS servers to Cloudflare.
 
That said though, with how you currently have it set, devices should be using the router as a DNS server, which will then reach out to Cloudflare if it doesn't have the record cached.

Find whatever key(s) you need in regedit, right click, export.
