Great video. Thanks for the recommendation. Montel announcing the Son of Beast at that event was hilarious.

I remember having this book as a kid too. I was obsessed. Lol.

That's super interesting. I remember hearing rumors about the low quality wood but i didn't know it was true.

As for the Beast yeah it definitely feels slower but its probably just because I was so used to the way it was before. I even noticed the roaring sound in the tunnel being quieter which i guess could be from better wheels or a smoother track rather than lack of speed.

If i had to guess it was maybe 2006. I think i rode it once with the loop and once without and didn't like it either time. But that was just me. Its been a long time but i remember it feeling like the train poked me right under the shoulder blade.

I may have liked it if i rode it more than twice but i hurt myself the first ride and never really wanted to go again.

Also i cant believe that it isn't any slower especially the final part with the 2 tunnels back to back. It feels so much slower.

My favorite roller coaster of all time was The Beast at Kings Island in Ohio. I've easily ridden it in the 3 digits.

Around 2013 or so they added additional braking to 2 parts of the ride where you used to blast through a huge helix and get pinned into your seat. One of the parts was at the end and it ruined my favorite part of the ride.

Still love The Beast but it will always be a lesser version of what I rode as a kid.

I also remember hurting my back on the Son of Beast. That was back when it had the loop. In my opinion the loop was the only good part of that ride.

I also got to ride the Diamondback on opening day. I still have my first rider tshirt i got that day.

Ill bet Toilet Truck and Baby Duff will be there in no time.

They would most likely still have to disable secure boot.

  1. The order doesnt matter as long as they are the same drives, you dont have a usb dock or raid card in front of them (ie sata/sas/nvme only)and you have enough of them to rebuild the array. Ideally all of them but in a dire situation you can rebuild based on 2 out of 3 of a Raid Z1

  2. You can do that, you shouldn't but you can. I've done something similar before in a nasty recovery situation and it worked but don't do it unless you have no other option. I highly recommend just downloading the config file from your current truenas box and importing it into a fresh install on a proper drive on your new machine.

  3. Sort of already mentioned it but you can take your drives, plug them into your new machine. Install a fresh Truenas scale and then just import the config file from your current setup and you should be off to the races. Your main gotcha is if the pool is encrypted. If you lose access to the key you are donezo forever. If not, the import has always been pretty straightforward and ive never had any issues with it.

  4. Lots of people virtualize truenas and lots of people virtualize firewalls too. To me, the ungodly amount of stupid edge cases, especially with consumer hardware that break hardware passthrough on disks (which truenas/zfs needs to work properly) is never worth it.

That would lower the barrier to entry significantly. It doesn't address the issues with the bios but someone mildly adventurous would have a much easier time going forward.

I think something like that would have to be sponsored by and maintained by a big distro though. I'm afraid if it was a community effort the amount of bikeshedding would stop it before it even began.

Linux pre installed is the only way for most people to use it I'm afraid.

Fedora does btrfs snapshots on boot also, which is such a great feature that I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't copied it for Windows.
