Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. “Bare metal” is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.

You can either accept that or not, it doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it now can mean.

It’s just what it means in this specific context.

They’re not running directly on the host, with directly meaning directly.

If you go by definition, I agree with you, but the definition is not always the thing to go off of.

Have you read my comment? It’s about where the packages and services are installed.

In this case, they’re installed in the container, not on the host

Not in this context. Bare metal means all packages and services installed and running directly on the host, not through docker/lxc/vms

Have you actually seen the video?

It in no way talks about “hidden advertising”.

Nothing what GN was talking about was about money though, it was about rushing things and making mistakes

Have you noticed how Intel is doing so much worse than AMD pretty much across the board though? Maybe it just reflects reality :)

You can look at the stock chart for a quick summary.

I missed the part where you provide sources/reasons for your allegation of crime?

They literally say “it doesn’t matter” if you leave it open, but that you might come across issues if you don’t

It’s not.

If you want to learn zfs a bit better though, you can just stick with Proxmox. It supports it, you just don’t get the nice UI that TrueNAS provides, meaning you’ve got to configure everything manually, through config files and the terminal.

Just fyi - running TrueNAS with zfs as a VM under Proxmox is a recipe for disaster, as me how I know.

Zfs needs direct drive access, with VMs, the hypervisor virtualizes the adapter which is then passed through, which can mess things up.

What you’d need to do is buy a sata/sas card and pass the whole card through, then you can use a vm.

Haven’t come across any xml during my deployment so far

Yeah, whoever thought that sd cards were a good idea for anything even resembling operating systems is a dum dum

Oh for sure, it’s just a loot more expensive

They’re taking about a NAS though?

The issue is, you can optimize a software encoders continually, you can use tricks for better quality etc.

A hardware encoder is just that - hardware. As soon as it’s burned to the silicon, you’re not making any (at least substantial) changes to it. You might also be limited by what you can actually do directly in hardware without using too much die space.

Tldr.: no, you won’t get the same result

The R5 is amazing, though yeah the 5.25" bays are kinda a waste.

I found a thingy though that fits into the bay and houses 6 2.5" SSDs, it’s pretty cool!

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned here, zfs can be quite finicky with some sata cards, especially raid cards.

I suggest you connect the hard drives to the motherboard directly and test again.
