Thank you for explaining, as that's really helpful for my own learning

Yeah, it felt like a bit of a dumb suggestion for someone in your position. Might work for someone with a less..robust level of need? Works for me with a QNAP QSW-2104-2T (this doesn't meet your criteria fwiw, unmanaged, not sfp+ but there is an sfp+ version that's still unmanaged) does that really matter if you have a pfsense box?

Edit: QSW-2104-2S is the double sfp+ version.

Er...Asus RE-BE88 technically meets that criteria but that's a router...I think it even does the VLAN stuff?

I'm not the best person to explain the how or why but they are looking at Q3 for beta and Q4 for main release.

I'm running Immich, Nextcloud and Jellyfin on TNS and it's fine. Nextcloud takes a bit of work though.

TrueNAS Scale will have Docker in the next release in August, along with the ability to expand Vdevs.

Probably not that helpful but Truenas Scale and the Nextcloud App, and then just used the Collabora "plugin" as I gave up using a separate Collabora App because I couldn't make them work together. Probably going to have to fix everything again in August when the next TNS update drops (Electric Eel) and enables vDev extensions.

Couple of points: Nurses get put upon. Will you leave on the dot at 1700? There are nursing jobs where you hand off to the next person on duty ie staff nurse, so when you go home you don't have to worry about anything, but most of the 9-5 jobs the job has defined responsibilities. Even if one is off the clock there are still thoughts running around inside your head. It takes a bit of skill to be able to put them aside every day.

It's really hard to fit everything you need to do at the weekend on a 9-5 compared to the flexibility of shifts. You have to be rigorous in terms of doing personal work in the evening after the job has finished.

Tbh have to look at career progression as well. Its not a straightforward choice.

For what? IV and VI have a lot going for them. V is total trash.

The numbers of pence per kilowatt hour for an EV does not change dependent on the comparison to a petrol or diesel car. If we are talking about the efficiency savings, we would expect greater savings for the EV compared to a petrol car doing 30 mpg versus the comparison to a diesel car. And 3 miles per kilowatt hour isn't that unreasonable, you are not going to get 4 except in specific circumstances.

I think it's obvious that the more miles per unit time, the quicker an EV will pay off. But then, one does need to charge at home so the other challenges (off road parking, long enough between use periods) makes a large difference. It does not surprise me that it works better for you with a works van and high mileage, where it can be classed as a business expense with BiK bonuses. But it doesn't help Joe bloggs who does 6k/year at a push.

I'd like to buy an EV. I expect my next car to be one, whether I like it or not, and I've set everything up including solar panels to wring out every efficiency I can. But with this tax system and fuel cost differences the sums don't add up for me, and most other people.

Double the mpg for a decent diesel gives about 11p/mile, which is what I get most of the time.

Driving 8k miles per year that nets a £680 saving per year. That does not justify changing vehicles. Even a 5 grand difference in price would not be acceptable to most people imo. Even dropping road and luxury taxed barely change it.

I'm not paying 50 grand for a car that should be 30 grand at best, I'll keep on running what I have now thanks.
