Configuring Terramaster F2-210, can I actually run something better than TOS 4?

Hi all!

So I have this NAS I got from a secondary market running just fine, but TOS 4 feels outdated and not reliable security-wise, I don't really trust TOS7 given all the AI slop introduced to it, and since apparently it runs an ARM processor, my options are quite limited, openmediavault has no arm images so my main attempt would be to go for truenas-on-arm: https://forums.truenas.com/t/truenas-on-arm-now-available/49160

I wonder if anyone from here can help me out improving the usability and performance of this device, I have yet to open it up to check whether it has an available RAM slots or not, but in any case my usecase is fairly simple, I just want my two disks to work as a locally attached storage using a RAID1 or similar implementation, so then I can access my files locally and perform backups via duplicati (hosted on a separate server).

Any advice or idea is welcomed!! I'm already checking into youtube tutorials but all models being modified seem to be more capable than mine, so I'm kind of clueless.

For reference, I found this article that might be worth checking for anyone on a similar situation and more options than myself: https://www.reddit.com/r/TerraMaster/comments/s5jkgj/how_to_change_your_terramaster_software_for/

Best way to take advantage of x3 Fallen and the virtuous deck? Just got it today

Hi all!

So mainly i'm a fire kings player, though i want to divert from there a bit to get a different playstyle on my hands, i saw these decks on a fair price so i just got the three of them, I wonder if there is a core deck that can be combined with other options, or if rather there is a x3 option updated with the recent banlist.

Other lists i was looking around were yubel and predaplant, i don't know if anything from here could apply to those two either.

Thanks in advance!!

Weird situation upon Pihole first time setup

Hi all!

So I have installed pihole on my portainer server as a docker compose stack, pretty much default settings and everything, thing is, I tried to configure it as I would normally do for any specific DNS on my main Linux laptop, and all the internet traffic went unavailable for a lot of sites, I had to actually undo the assignment manually so I could reach the internet in the first place.

Now, I have configured my router to use pihole's server bridge ip to be used as a DNS server, but i see no increasing number for the "Total queries" element, nor i see the active clients including my own laptop, all this being within the same LAN.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

issue while adguard is already set up - DNS blocking a lot of websites repeatedly

Hi all,

Hope this post is fine being posted here, thing is, i've done a setup for adguard on my local homelab and it happens to be giving issues similar to this issue on github for Adguard on windows, even though i mostly run linux, it was pretty similar to my case issues - 4385.

As well as other issues on games that require internet connections, streaming sites, youtube and a lot of other platforms, i like the idea behind getting more control and less adds around, but i am struggling a lot to make it less invasive on my local network, so i had to stop it for the moment.

Please let me know how can i address this to keep adguard running and connected to my machines while not having this lags and DNS blocking issues.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for an easy-going media viewer/sharing tool for a minilab newbie. Main concern is about getting data from my local NAS

Hi all!

So I'm currently configuring my two node minilab (for now), consisting on a mini pc running proxmox and a terramaster two-bay NAS (raid1), within the first of those I currently have just uptime kuma, adguard and gitea, and now I wanted to be able to view and share my photos, mainly taken from a shared folder from my NAS, may be?.

The main idea is to keep my NAS as a both Backup drive and file serving device (until i can upgrade storage on my mini pc and do the backups there), so I could take the data from it and just use stuff running on my proxmox as applications, not as data itself, if that makes sense, so if anything goes wrong application-wise, or even on the server itself, i would still have access to my media.

I've been trying some software here and there and it seems like a total pain to actually pick data from my local network and serve it via media tools such as lychee or jellyfin.

Any tutorial, suggestion or tool recommendations are welcomed!!

Thanks in advance!

Trying to relearn yugioh, aiming to locals and regionals, but tired of fire kings, what should I play? Seeking advice.

Hi!

So I've returned to the game like two months ago, yet it is my second time returning, the previous one i settled into playing fire kings, and i do really enjoy the deck, and recently i tried to add snake eyes to the mix, but it just doesn't seem to be enough or like fallen into a valley where i don't feel like i'm really learning/winning or it does really brick quite often, the list is quite standard and based on this youtube video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkGFYpGbrhg&t=1s

Since then, i have managed to reach gold 2 on master duel, but irl i am mostly defeated by a lot of different decks, mitsurugi being the one that makes me mad the most at the moment.

So i've been wondering, is there anything else worth playing that can fit the playstyle of fire kings? with this i mean that the combos don't really extend a lot and you get the board ready in a fast sequence while being recoverable. I wondered about mermail as well to follow the meme of fire vs water but i think it was meta for a really brief period back in 2024 and now it's no longer an option?.

So far, my options for what i have around:

  • x3 Structure Blue Eyes (latest) - I assume it would need some improvements.
  • x3 Structure Crystal Beasts
  • Yubel? i have some basic stuff and some common fiendsmith cards, yet that is quite a long combo imo.
  • Shaddoll - Tried it already at md and it was a bit of underperforming compared to fire kings.
  • Branded - I have x1 of the chronicles deck as book shelve decoration, i can't afford a x3 right now though.
  • Predaplant - I've seen some gameplay and seems fun and quite unhinged and mixable with a lot of stuff.
  • may be something like red archfiend dragon but with the black rose one?
  • naturia/purrely are cute too, but i've been told those are too old to be worth trying

My main concern is to have something i can play long term and is as fun as possible, i like other stuff like dragon rulers (mainly from HAT format), millenium exodia, kuriboh, elemental hero (mainly those that resemble the power rangers).

Any suggestion is welcomed!

Thanks!!!

[issue] deleted my whatsapp images folder by mistake after migrating to a new phone

Hi!

So yesterday i migrated all my chats into a new phone, and later on my whatsapp videos folder was restored, all good, but in the middle of said project, once the migration in on itself was finished and the "don't close this screen" thing was done.

Then I uninstalled whatsapp from my former main phone, and now i cannot seem to restore the whatsapp images folder with its original content, only the last photo i did get, the content of the folder had some photos with quite an emotional value for me, is there a way to get it all back?

Thanks!!

Known issue with Pixel 6 PRO? Phone rebooting itself out of nowhere with no traceable reason

Hi y'all!

So I have been running this device for 4 years, so far it's been my best phone ever, even if during summer months it has minor quirks due to the higher temperatures. But as of yesterday, with no previous signal of failing, it has been repeatedly rebooting itself out of nowhere, I thought it was because of the summer and all but apparently it does not has to be, since it rebooted overnight, I will not be able to carry it to a technical service until monday but it scares the crap out of me to potentially lose this device because of no reason.

May be this some known hardware issue?? Please let me know if there is any quick fix.

Thanks!

Recommended phone after Pixel 6 PRO?

Hi y'all?

So as of today I have been running this Pixel 6 Pro since summer 2022, so far it's still running strong and all, but with hot temperatures of summer it might be a final nail in the coffin due to also Google's end of support by October.

Even though I'm planning onto going for /e/os and check how well it does, I have experienced recently random shutdowns all of the sudden, it worries me a lot and I don't really want to panic yet.

My scope has always been to go for a phone that is robust enough to carry some light gaming (currently nds emulation and yugioh master duel), but not as a priority, the rest would be average phone usage, may be some manga reading, but again, nothing fancy.

I would prefer something from 2025 so it is recent enough and it might have some path related to custom ROMs and known issues as a phone, if any. As per budget, I'd say 300€ would be plenty, i might check second hands since my current Pixel was one of those.

Thanks in advance!!

Weird issue while running Debian 13 - mouse keeps dissapearing on log in randomly

Hi!

So I've been running linux since i first got this surface, and so far it works great, but i have this recurring issue where my cursor/mouse keeps on dissapearing completely once i login into Gnome, but once i have logged out, it works just fine, usual fix comes with a reboot, but in rather more recent times that doesn't work either.

Is this a common issue?? Is there some easy workaround related to this specific device??

Thanks in advance!

Terramaster F2-210 with suspicious default settings (TOS4)

Hi!

So I recently purchased a terramaster NAS second hand to move my files into a centralised storage and have a better availability as backup, but i am worried I got a deal due to the device being kind of outdated or reaching a point of non usability?. (I got a 4tb drive included)

My reasons to think this is that the OS installed (TOS) booted just fine, with no issue whatsoever, but version 4 seems far from the current one which apparently is TOS 7. I want this device to be covered security updates-wise and may be expand its functionality since the app store is quite limited.

My idea was just to have a local shared unit, may be a plex or jellyfin like tool (i personally like kyoo https://github.com/zoriya/Kyoo ), but the mere fact of not having such possibilities within the app store is a bit concerning for me. If you do recommend any other tool I would be glad to hear, just sidenote that I prefer not to stream stuff but first to own it, and keep it if I like the content.

Should i change the OS? I'm used to run linux elsewhere but on a device such as this one would be a first to try stuff nas-oriented, so first and foremost I want to avoid newbie mistakes or like non-meditated actions.

Any other advice is more than welcomed!!
