That said, if Win7 came preinstalled then we're talking about different eras of Celeron, at least, I cannot imagine it would be as mediocre as a low-mid AMD CPU from 2004!

I always think of an ex of mine defending criticism of her craptop. "It was good for its time!" No, no it wasn't. It was built around a Celeron. It was built to be trash. It was ewaste with extra steps.

What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality in c/games@lemmy.world

Godus.

I know lots of people hate it but taken in isolation it's okay. I found its aesthetics charming and its pace generally pretty chill. It wasn't good but it wasn't terrible. Low medium perhaps but I have comfortable memories of listening to an audiobook whilst playing it.

An N64 game I've never heard of before? Mark it on the calendar because that hasn't happened in many a sparrow's moon.

Thank you! I felt like I was the only person on the planet to think that those games only hit the dizzying heights of "okay, fine at a push". They're perfectly serviceable and not much more.

Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux on in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Whilst the Celeron was indeed utter cack, 2 GB has me making four Yorkshiremen-style "2GB? Luxury!" style comments.

I used to run Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 1362 WMLi back in 2005. I had 512 MB of RAM and a 2800+ Sempron processor.

That said, looking at this:

My old Sempron was a better CPU than that piece of junk Celeron you've got there. Giving it 2GB of RAM is hilarious!

TrueNAS Scale, hard disks, and pools (piefed.social)

I'm trying to run a load of services and use TrueNAS Scale as the data storage for them. I have three 1 TB disks setup as RAIDZ1 - a single data pool. I've had to unplug the power a few times for various practical reasons and it seems like this setup simply cannot be relied on to function. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's not. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here and cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.

I take a look at the storage dashboard and see "Unused disks: 3". Okay, let's add them back to my pool ("main"):

Add Disks To:

New Pool
Existing Pool

...except there's no pools listed under "existing pool". If I create a new one it just wipes the disks. That's no bloody good.

Thankfully I've yet to store any important data on them as I'm still in the testing phase. As far as I can see though, despite the disks being attached to the system by serial number, it gets confused and doesn't keep them through power disruptions.

Is it worth fannying about with TrueNAS? I feel like I might as well just bin ZFS and use an rsync-based backing up of data (I have several other disks, but only three that are the same size).

I don't like going underground. (piefed.social)

I'm not sure if this is controversial or not - but I (mostly) don't like games that are primarily set underground.

There are a few exceptions to this, Dungeon Keeper and The Binding of Isaac spring to mind, but mostly I find it actively discouraging. Perhaps it's a desire to explore under the sky, perhaps it's that it feels claustrophobic, or perhaps it's the gloom.

I don't have a problem with the dark or claustrophobia in the real world, so it's not that. Anything that involves dungeon crawling immediately puts me off. I don't want to go down into the dark! I want to be outside!

I wasn't a fan of the Metro series until Exodus, I bounced off Recettear as soon as the dungeon element was introduced. Anything that wants me to spend an extended period underground with monsters is just a massive turn-off for me. Sewer levels and the like also have this, to a lesser extent.

Anyone else have this specific dislike?
