This is exactly how I feel about python as well… IMHO, it’s good for some advanced stuff, where bash starts to hit its limits, but I’d never touch it otherwise

agree… also, he’s still alive

Microsoft: De nada, amigo! Oh… here’s an ad, btw… and…did you enable Recall already?

are they even actively developing it? repo seems abandoned

I would suggest not to rely on that. Give the DHCP a range, use manual IPs outside of that range

yeah… that’s what I realized too.

If you ask basic questions - “google it yourself” … closed!

If you ask anything specific (like in your case) - it’s just crickets

This isn’t true if you have a bootloader on each drive, which, I think, is what the we’re talking about.

I’d recommend the following, which is what I did

• Get one of these N100 or N305 firewall mini PCs with two NICs for your opnsense box. they’re like 15x15 cm in size
• A managed switch (at least 8-port)
• A cheapo small PC case, that can house enough drives, or can add some 3dprinted drive tray or whatever for your NAS.

I’d highly suggest, not to put everything in one box. Been there, nothing but struggles.
