The new name XigmaNAS did not inspire me to continue.
Then FREENAS changes name to TrueNAS.
Boy what a twisted wreck.
In the meanwhile I learn NFS and ditch the GUI prima-donnas.
NANOBSD was dropped around the same era... What a shame.
It was a good run, Back when you could upgrade without worry.
there's a typo in the word 'available' :)
I'm dreading setting up Plex and Syncthing again so I've been dragging my feet. Seeing the comment about dreading each update isn't exactly lifting my feet out of the dirt.
