B2 is not unlimited storage for 60$
thats backblaze normal consumer backup service which wont run on a NAS. B2 is pay by the GB and pay for download bandwidth. 5TB of stuff uploaded would cost 300$ a year if nothing changed

 

I use the consumer version on my nas. But it's a vm in a windows server so I just make the nas drives also accessible to windows as local drives and it back them up without question. It's funny because years ago they even had a guide on their website how to spoof a network drive as a local drive :p.

if you ask me i made the wrong choice,but i already got used to the gui of truenas so ill stick to it,lol.
why don't you give them both a try and install them both on vm's?
you can watch this video just to get the hang of truenas.
good luck.
 

hi.
i recommend you to use open media vault, i am actually using freenas/truenas right now so take this advice with a grain of salt.
let me explain: freenas is freebsd based software so you have some limitation on the drivers the system have, furthermore i guess you didn't worked with free bsd so far which will make it harder to troubleshoot in the future, open media vault is linux base(debian) so way more hardware support and easier to trouble shoot.
 
i have a home server and i used windows server 2016 but it didn't played well with my gpu so i switched to truenas and it wasn't smooth sealing, i get limited transfer speed since (apparently)  you need to use intel nics to get the best performance, furthermore vm's causing my server to crash as soon as they connect to the nic.
 

do you have snpashoots? if you can delete them you should try it,this will reemerge the vdisk

I second Deus Ex, Dishonored, Prey and pretty much any immersive sim game. Not just because of the narratives, but also for the gameplay.
 
If you want to cry, play To The Moon. Or basically any of the games made by Freebird Games. Not a lot there in terms of gameplay, but they're really effectively written little stories.
 
The first Walking Dead season also had a pretty good narrative overall, just don't replay it or you'll see how little your choices actually matter. In the same vein The Wolf Among Us has a pretty good story too, basically identical gameplay though. I haven't kept up with Telltale after that because the gameplay was just overall too similar between titles, but it certainly managed to keep me entertained for two games.
 
If you want to go old school, I really enjoyed Grim Fandango. Be prepared for a bunch of insanely unintuitive puzzle though.
 
Similarly old school, Planescape: Torment has often been described as the best book you'll ever play. But the gameplay is very much of its time, meaning very tedious at times.
 
The Talos Principle has a massively intriguing narrative behind it, but you really have to pay attention and read between the lines to get the most out of it.
 
The Stanley Parable is great if you like the story to be part of the gameplay itself.

amazing, it has the best video game story IMO

Prey - same developer as Dishonored with a sci-fi setting inspired by System Shock
 
System Shock - Upcoming remake of the seminal 90's first person sci-fi shooter/hacker game which spiritually inspired Bioshock, Prey, and many others
 
Greedfall - party-based RPG in the tradition of old Bioware games, clunky combat and somewhat lacking in budget but a unique story and setting, just got a new DLC
 
Control - action-adventure game with a story inspired by X-Files/Steven King/SCP Foundation and amazing combat using telekinetic powers
 
Thief - widely considered not as good as the old Thief games but if you like sneaking around in Victorian fantasy settings like Dishonored, it's $3
 
Deus Ex Human Revolution and Deus Ex Mankind Divided - Near-future transhumanist first-person stealth/shooter games
 
 
If you don't mind a little extra work setting them up, you could also try out the original Thief and Deus Ex games, assuming you've never played them. Dated graphics and some 90's/2000's jank of course but they hold up well in story and atmosphere. 

Your opinion on Control's story will depend on how much you like paranormal spooky shit, and on how much you need narratives to have clear explanations and resolutions. 

Oh, I have 2 more amazing games, Subnautica and Subnautica Below zero.
Subnautica is mostly a survivaly game, but it has a deep and cool story
So does subnautica below zero, it's story is larger than previus one and has characters and is overall very good.
The graphics are also lovely and gameplay is pretty cool

the mass effect legendary edtion is on sale I woudl reccoment them if you havent played it yet. but something similar to games like ryse and spec ops that are just llinear story driven games. Hellblade is one of my favorite games of all time. I really reccomend playing it if you haven't played it yet. firewatch is pretty nice as well. It takes 2 is great if you have a partner or a friend to play with.

red dead is pretty great story wise does and is a relaly long game if you want to commit to one. witcher 3 is pretty great some of the best side quests Ive ever played is in that game. some of the side quests could be its own game or DLC. I would reccomend watching some run down on youtube on the first 2 games before playing so you have context going into the third game. 

Witcher 3, one of the best games I've ever played

is the story really good?
oh yea heard a lot about this game and never had the chance to play it.
it is also dirt cheap right now.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Gameboy and Gameboy Advance is not region locked, literally the only difference is the label on the back.
 
DS and DS Lite are not region locked, but the DSi and 3(2)DS is, though DSi will play all DS games with only DSi exclusive games being region locked.
 
The home consoles are region locked, such as the Wii, but mods can make them region free across NTSC regions such as North America and Japan. PAL (Europe & Australia/NZ) being a different resolution and frame rate, it is often better to have separate PAL and NTSC machines for all but the Wii. The Wii can be soft modded to play from any region, being the same 'under the hood' worldwide. 
 
Unless there is some in particular you want from Japan I'd start with your domestic market Nintendo stuff. Things can get complicated quickly when you start mixing regions, especially on the home systems. 

None of Nintendo's portable consoles up to the 3DS are region locked. So yes, you can play US and European Game Boy Advance games on a Japanese GBA.
If you ever want to get into Switch collecting, you're also in luck: it's region free.

Currently at the around 65% of Arkham Asylum so can't say anything about the others but up until now it's been rather underwhelming to say the least.
I'd say good one for mindless playthrough. A typical game where game time is excessively extended by collectibles. Good thing you can completely ignore them as their value added is minimal at best. So yeah, will most likely pass on both shadows.
 
I never finished Half-Life (still have it somewhere on CD). How much would I lose going into 2nd installment without completing the first?
 
And thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated.

How is internet provided to your home? Fiber? Coax? DSL? LTE?
 
How is your network setup? Do you have a Router connected to your Modem? Is it a Modem/Router combo? Something to watch out for is Double NAT.

Two things:
1. Don't turn on DMZ unless you have a very specific reason to do so. It's dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.
2. The ports are forwarded, but do you actually have a running server listening on those ports? If not, incoming requests are rejected and will appear as if they're closed.

I had one of these (my dad decided he liked it and uses it for work now), it was the blue one, has seperate compartments, they all seem waterproof, and it is super comfortable and to my knowledge it still isnt damaged, (my dad works as a mechanic in the mines so its constantly in the weather etc.)

I've used osprey bags for years backpacking and i've had this day pack about 9 months with no issues. It should be a 5-10 year pack if you abuse it may 15 if you fix any issues when they come up

It's not the game they're playing, it's their personalities that people see and want to be involved with. I can't speak for every streamer, some streamers have fantastic skill i.e. Esports players, however, people like Tyler1. It's just his personality, same with Fitz, Poki etc, majority of streamers have magnetic personalities and provide something you can't find elsewhere to the same degree. Although, I'd say the exception is Ninja, I never understood how he became famous...

I would. That's what I'm doing, and since AMD is going to release a couple new CPUs this month, the price for the 2700 may drop even more than it already has.
