Using this ended being a massive pain in the ass for me. I could file the federal taxes online, but after I submitted it and attempted to file my state taxes online it said I couldn’t since I lived in NYC and made more than 75k/yr and I’d have to mail them in since it’s impossible to file only your state taxes online due to the IRS’ requirements.
I haven’t used my printer in years so it was a hassle just to print out 5 pages and mail them half way across the country. It also delayed getting my refund by about a month.
A city problem to be more exact. Since I lived in NYC and made more than 75k in a year I couldn’t file online, using the site the IRS directed me to (I’ve been doing it myself with TurboTax for the past 7 years, and paying for it). Due to the IRS’ own rules, you can’t file just your state tax returns online, since they’re largely the same as the federal taxes. So both are actually at fault.
I live in Florida now so I don’t have to pay state taxes, so next year’s will be a breeze.
I had them already prepared (I attempted to do it via H&R block as well but it was rejected since I had already submitted my federal forms), I just couldn’t submit them. Also I moved 1300 miles away in the past year, so I couldn’t really do that anyway haha
Yeah, I just assumed it would work smoothly by now. I’ve been using TurboTax for the past 7 years and have had no issues, I attempted to save money by doing it this way, but it caused way more headaches for me.
I had to mail in my state taxes for NY due to NYC regulations, which I didn’t know about since I’ve been using TurboTax for 7 years. I was only informed of this after I had filed my taxes federally using the IRS system. There is no way to just file your state taxes online, you have to do both and if you submit them a second time it just gets rejected.
It’s good that they’re doing this, but it caused a lot of headaches for me that I was unaware of.
If you lived in NYC and made than 75k/year you can’t file online using the state’s website, and both of those were true for me. I moved out of NYC last June, I live in Florida now. Also, why should I have to go see a tax agent? I should just be able to do it all online myself. I’ve been doing it for 7 years with TurboTax.
I’ve recently been looking at options to upgrade (completely replace) my current NAS, as it’s currently more than a little bit jank and frankly kinda garbage. I have a few questions about that and about migrating my current TrueNAS scale installation or at least it’s settings over....
Q1: No it shouldn’t matter as long as you didn’t import the pool using device names (sda, sdb, etc…). If you’re using labels or UUIDs (the better option for portability sake). If they do happen to use device names, just export the pool and then reimport it on the same system using labels or UUIDs.
Q2: It should work just fine assuming you’re not using device names for your pools
Q3: it’s just as robust as FreeBSD’s implementation. Once again, see the answer to Q1.
Q4: IMO virtualizing your NAS just adds more headaches and performance overhead compared to running it on bare metal.
Out of my years running TrueNAS on and off, I’ve always had issues with it when doing anything other than using it purely as a storage box. I tried 24.04 a few weeks ago, thinking that most of the issues I had originally when SCALE was launched would be resolved. They weren’t. So I went back to Arch w/OpenZFS…again
I agree, the VM management could be easier. I don’t understand why I can’t have two NICs in the same subnet as long as they have different IPs.
The bigger annoyance for me was there was no way to tell what disk is attached where in the VM device listings since it only shows the boot order and not labels or paths.
Yeah, but I should be able to have them separate as well like I can in every other Linux distro. In TrueNAS they force you to have them in separate subnets for some reason.

I volunteered at a shelter for two years and it’s definitely easy for some people (those that don’t give a fuck about animals): I was volunteering there one day and this guy came in with a happy and healthy looking Samoyed and said “I want to have her put down, she bit my kid”. Luckily the shelter refused to do so.
Released back in March of 2018 was the Amarok 2.9 music player for this KDE project. Shipping today is finally Amarok 3.0 as the first major release in six years and now ported to Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5.
Threadripper already accomplished all of this years ago. My TR2970WX has 24 cores/48 threads, 48 PCI-E lanes, and it supports ECC and non-ECC RAM. My AsRock Rack board has BMC support as well.
The Threadripper series was the perfect workstation CPU. I’ve had mine for a few years and it can handle anything I throw at it, it can easily transcode 2-3 4K videos while doing multiple other things.
It wasn’t cheap though, it was like $650 on sale, originally like a grand or so.

IRS makes free tax return program permanent and is asking all states to join in 2025. This could deal a massive blow to private tax filing services such as TurboTax (apnews.com)

Is there a way to read all of Trump's Truth Social posts without actually visiting the site?
That is, is there an archive or a mirror somewhere? I don’t want to give him the traffic.
Amongst all this AI hype of the past few years, nobody talks about that it's finally feasible to create an MS Clippy that works.
