If it weren't for this don't know what I'd do, it is my 2 cable solution to PC issues, if I can't boot my main pc I open google and problem solved in a minute or two. It runs misc server tasks and lets me game at other peoples houses.

Though featuring modest specs, an i7-2360QM, 16GB DDR3, a 5tb hdd, and an NVIDIA 560M, it has gotten me through some games I feel it had no businesses running so well, and it was the first computer I gamed on other than my pentium 4405u, 4gb ram, integrated graphics AIO.

It may not be glamorous, but it works, it runs, and it emulates, and it games on the go. Or just will soon be my wikipedia device since I'm moving, need something to act as an offline internet.

It comes in at 10 pounds and just about an hour of battery life on a good day. It has a 900p tn panel, but it's great. Also stays under 70c even at load.

Curious, what's your personal mobile battlestation?

I am 16 and decided to plan my first LAN party. For the party I will have a 24 port 10/100mbit switch, and a 5 port gig switch.

I have access to about a room and a half of the house and ability to run an extension cord from somewhere else.

3 of our people are laptops, everybody else is a desktop.

My main concerns are sleep and the amount of food all my friends are going to eat, last time I had people over it was 4 people for 4 hours and we drank 6 liters of soda and ate 5 bags of chips. Scaling up and the fact I'm planning the day after school gets out people can showup whenever after 9am, and hopefully I can run until the day after at 7pm, as some of the people going will want to be home Sunday morning due to their religious parents, church obligations.

I have a NAS and it seems it can store stuff fine.

I also want ideas for games, my friends haven't been helpful at suggesting games everybody can run or missing the "LAN" part of "LAN PARTY"

So far I have Minecraft, and Mindustry, but I haven't come up with much else.

So to summarize: I would appreciate sleep suggestions (We have a room and a half of space, large room), food & drink ideas, and game suggestions.

Edit: The lowest end hardware we are planning for is an asus g74sx with 16gb ram, 900p screen on debian. Games also have to be Proton/Wine compatible.

I can't figure out how to make TrueNAS generate file thumbnails in SMB shares, they have thumbnails before I move them but not after.

I've only tested to see if they're made on a Linux Mint desktop and a Debian Laptop, they'll both have thumbnails before transfer but after the transfer of files there are no more thumbnails.

I am on TrueNAS Community 25.10.3 - Goldeye
