Frenchie is highly opinionated. Take what he says with more salt than a visit to WCCFTech. 
 
Above video gives more background on how the industry works from Ian Cutress (Anandtech) personal channel. Basically, another fuss over nothing.

Pretty much every game that I even play currently runs really well on Linux. (World of Warships, AC Odyssey, Metro Exodus, Divinity: Original Sin 2). At this point, the only things that don't run well are things that don't run at all on Linux such as certain anticheats and postprocessing like Reshade.

There's no noticeable quality difference between QuickSync on gen 6+ CPUs and NVENC. Plex will always prefer QuickSync even if you have a Nvidia card added. QuickSync can do more transcodes in general. Finally don't transcode 4k because it ruins the quality, create a separate 4k library for direct play/streams and a 1080p library for clients that can't do 4k. It's easier than messing with the headache that is 4k transcoding.

Well a lot of the FreeNAS community also use WD Reds above the recommended 8 drives per system and also in vdev groups larger than that too. Don't shoot the messenger but WD has always said for use in systems with 8 disks or less, originally they were for 5 or less but that increase a few years ago. WD Reds have always been bottom of the barrel minimum viable product with only slight optimizations for firmware and very basic vibration compensation with no vibration sensors so NAS systems cannot do or see anything related to that.
 
When you sort by lowest price you basically get what you get. "I got away with it in the past" when using a product outside of it's designed purpose sadly is what it is, it used to be fine but now it's not. Unless WD fixes the problem or reverts the change I don't see the situation changing. They'll work fine in the 2-6 bay OEM NAS's they are made for and not much else.

There is no way this is a serious topic.

Red Pros aren't SMR at all, only regular Reds. Your issue is different.

MMORPGs have been doing this model for decades now, not surprised to see Rockstar try it out more.

Hi Guys,
I was searching all over the web but couldn't find any simple update scripts for Plex.
So I made my own. I hope I can save someone the trouble of writing there own

The Script is based on PowerShell
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls11 -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 $json = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://plex.tv/api/downloads/1.json" $dl_url = $json.computer.Windows.releases.url $checksum = $json.computer.Windows.releases.checksum $Latest_Version = $json.computer.Windows.version $PlexServerIP = "localhost:32400" $XPlexToken = "YOUR_PLEX_TOKEN" #example: _aBcDEf_12g3hijkL4Mn $Status_url = "http://$PlexServerIP/status/sessions?X-Plex-Token=$XPlexToken" $PlexServerPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Server.exe" $PMSUpdate_Path = "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Updates" $Server_Version = (Get-ChildItem -Path $PMSUpdate_Path | sort LastWriteTime | select -last 1).Name $Latest_Pkg_Path = "$PMSUpdate_Path\$Latest_Version\packages" If($Latest_Version -ne $Server_Version) {#Update Required New-Item -Path $Latest_Pkg_Path -ItemType Directory | Out-Null $dl_FilePath = "$Latest_Pkg_Path\PlexMediaServer-$Latest_Version-x86.exe" (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($dl_url, $dl_FilePath) $dl_FileHash = (Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA1 $dl_FilePath).Hash If($dl_FileHash -eq $checksum) { #Install Update do { $data = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $Status_url $isStreaming = !($data -match '<MediaContainer size="0">') if($isStreaming){Start-Sleep -Seconds 10} } while($isStreaming) Start-Process -FilePath $dl_FilePath -ArgumentList "/install","/quiet" -Wait Start-Process -FilePath $PlexServerPath } } What it does:  It checks for the newest version of Plex online, compairs it with the latest update-installer your server has. If the file on your server is older it will download the newest one, validates the checksum and Installs it.
 
Why do I need a X-Plex-Tolken?  -  It is not required, but if you enter your tolken the script can check if a user is still streaming and the script will wait with the install until the stream is closed.
(If you dont want to use this function you have to remove the "do-while".)
 
 
So have fun with it and if you have Ideas to improve it share them with us 
 

Same thing happened in Spain already, Google decided to stop showing Spanish news sites altogether (except for search results of course).

So you technically don't even need a server for this, Citrix Virtual Desktops can be used on their regular work PCs which will allow them to remote in and is honestly a lot better than RDP or other remote control solutions that I've seen, even over the Internet. We have about half of our employees here on VMs and the other half using their PCs all through the Citrix software since it creates a virtual graphics card that allows you to, for example, resize your your desktop to however many screens you want. You can pass through USB devices and local file directories too if needed.
 
I personally think this is the better solution in the short term and then work on a more robust VDI solution for the long term instead of the stop gap you're trying to do right now.

Also, that IronWolf has a lot of seek errors and ECC errors so try to recover data off of it, then try to get it RMA'd.

It's not, there isn't any sort of striping. Parity is stored on a specific disk which is occasionally checked.
 
Use a different Linux live USB to see if the disks mount fine with something other than Unraid.

That is only for deduplication, not FreeNAS in general.

I could not get it working on Arch which still has 19.30 in AUR, I've seen possible mention of working with 19.50 but not sure on that. It works in Windows now that Core22 is out and 20.xx drivers.
 
EDIT: Found this so it's in beta support on Linux https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=31710&start=90

Clearly liquid nitrogen for max cooling.

Ethernet is digital and checksummed, there is no affect by noise unless you mean packet loss, which shouldn't happen with any quality switch of sufficient spec. The only place noise matters is when the digital signal gets turned to analog.

I believe WereCatf is referring to thin provisioning on the host, which not all filesystems or storage setups will support. For example, LVM does not support thin provisioning regardless of filesystem used, but  EXT4/BTRFS/ZFS/etc by themselves do.

What is the model of the server? There are likely scripts/mods out there for the fans.

If you're going to tinker with the .XML file for performance optimization beyond what I outlined above consider posting it here when you think you're done. It may help others with similar series processors.
