It’s shameless self-promotion time this Friday, so get ready for the introduction of TrueNAS Tech Talk, a video podcast where Kris Moore (@kris) and I(@HoneyBadger) talk about the state of TrueNAS, user questions, and other technical topics that are of interest to the storage industry or technology in general.
Today, we’ll talk about the upcoming release of TrueNAS SCALE 24.10 “Electric Eel”, a new feature just merged in the back-end on the next version “Fangtooth”, and a bit about responsible LLM use when learning about ZFS and TrueNAS.
Feel free to submit questions and inquiries to t3@truenas.com or post feedback directly in this thread.
Watch the first episode on the T3 YouTube Channel or in the embed below!
I just tried the AI search and it gave some pretty good answers about disk layouts.
It correctly recommended RAIDZ2 and not RAIDZ1 for large pools (12x12TB) and when I asked why not RAIDZ1 the answer was excellent too. It wasn’t quite so good on layouts for for large numbers of disks - it didn’t really explain about multiple vDevs.
However, when I asked about adding more SATA ports it didn’t have any answers i.e. it did not recommend HBAs in IT mode or tell me to avoid port expanders.
Not sure if it was intentional, but just over 20 minutes is an ideal length. Makes me more likely to tune in, as opposed to seeing 90+ minutes on the seekbar.
Handful of topics, enough time to flesh out, all done!
That’s just my opinion. Maybe others might chime in and say how they want 3-hour episodes.
20 min, 180 min, 1440 …, ok, too much
But it was upbeat. What was said did not feel like “we need to fill X minutes of show”. It was fluid. Good vibe. I liked it.
Yea, that was rather intentional on our part. I also hate when a show has to “fill time” just to meet some self-imposed length requirement. The show will vary week to week, 15-25 minutes is most likely going to be typical. If we have something super in-depth or a guest, we may go longer, but that will likely the exception, not the rule.
Sounds good. However I would prefer if you publish on an open platform, where the feed can be federated into normal podcast players rather than in a proprietary closed environment.
…so, what would that be ?. Am curious because where would I go to do that ?
Or you rather have the mp3 file hosted on a web site with a text transcription of the sound file ?
I mean say “…look at that !, nice case you chose for that…” would be fine in a video because you’re looking at it. If you extract the sound and turn it into a text blog, still, the original format was meant to be seen.
Am clueless in regards to podcasts and what’s out there.
Would you give a real life example, like “go there and do it that way” ?
I know that your comment is not directed to me personally but it would clarify what you envision.
I merely suggested they looked into sharing the feed outside of the closed proprietary fences of Spotify.
A podcast is essentially an RSS Feed (XML File served by a public web-server) with links to media that is hosted on the web. By adhering to that principle (which the Spotify model doesn’t) I’d be a happy camper. I’m not mentioning transcription, or anything else.
