TrueNAS scale with truecharts for my main server. I’m considering rolling out a compute only server with openSUSE microOS to leave trueNAS only for storage. I like openSUSE philosophy and microOS with cockpit seems solid on my tests. I might start with some old laptops and deploy the ldap server there to test it and remove that responsability from TrueNAS.

If you’ve used an espresso machine you will know that every single small change, even new fresh beans, fucks up the setup and you have to dial everything again, so I think it fits better with another one. I use arch btw.

A heatpump is a device that moves heat from one place to other.

It subtracts heat in one side (cools that side) and dumps it in the other (heats that other side).

We have already those devices available to install at home, and are commonly known as Air Conditioning.

The inside unit grabs the heat (cools the room) and the outside unit dumps the heat.

Those same devices are now reversible, so they are able to grab heat from the outside unit, and dump it in the room (heats the room).
