Huh I just realized something cool with Pithos pandora front end for Linux. When you stream with a free Pandora account using Pithos, that account with ads becomes ad-free. I’ve been streaming for days non stop and have yet to hear a single ad.

I live too far away from all the vcf events to make attending workable (at least for now) so my vicarious living relies completely on everyone here posting their attendance pictures and videos :D

You forgot #3 - free beer. I believe strongly that #3 will help facilitate #1. 🤞

Haha DANA DOES STUFF! :D Yeah man I totally get it. C19 gave everyone a lot of time to do this stuff and as everything fired back up, time was not so freely available. All good, even great things must come to an end. I watched start up disk is full a couple times but I thought it moved away from...

Yeah that's my understanding as well. I really miss Mac-Yak and TinkerDifferent was like an extension of that community in so many ways as so many of those guys are here and played formative roles in its creation. To the chagrin of my wife, I would sit down in my super comfy lazy-boy with a soda...

SRP has been crushing it with new PPC apps lately. He also authored a PowerPC Plex/media front end player which works well on my pmG5 :) I have this HL port on the list and am pumped to play through it but all my retro macs are unplugged and my office in the process of being emptied out for a...

I don’t use trueNAS but watching This video , it looks like you go to datasets>user>set acl and from there for each user you can set & save read/write permissions. good luck!

My boys left the garage door open so all this tree waste blew in last night :sneaky:Looks kinda dusty but this is just after blowing it back out with my worx leaf blower LOL.

And to top it off, it has sentimental value as mom made it! :)

I have two compact macs that I would love to have something like this for. My mom loves to sew, is deep into retirement and I think kinda bored lol ... hmm maybe I will show her this thread and see if she is up to making one for me state side in a cool color for a birthday or Christmas.

Tiger only supports up to 2.2T so while it might see a larger drive, it’s going to have problems accessing it. I have a 2T share for my old PPC macs and they see & connect to it without issue. In regards to Snow Leopard looks like you already enabled legacy smb1 so that’s set. 1.) Is TrueNAS...

That is awesome. 👏

I’d start with what you might already have so there’s zero cost outside of your time - any spinners or ssds in an enclosure or prefab external hdd could be used up front. Use that to test your set up & access etc. & once you have it the way you want it, that might be good enough for your needs...

Well that mini has four usb3 that max at 625mbps (super speed/thunderbolt) so good access/throughput out of those. It could be as simple as running one with a couple high capacity external usb drives connected to them & within the macOS, enable file sharing, media streaming & backups...

I certainly noticed the jump in SSD pricing. I was definitely very used to getting Netac 128gb ssds for like 15-17 bucks USD (it's CRAZYTOWN that those same drives new are now $29.99 not even 6 months later). I never found new stuff for $13 so kudos for finding a great price there - wish I did...
