Yes, Starlink is fantastic. So are the Tesla Powerwalls and their roof. I don't have any of their cars, and I'm not sure the truck will end up being the right match for me though it appears more practical than most competition so

Seconding this. It's a very irritating implementation detail of Comcast Business service. It can be worked around of course, if you have a VPS somewhere close-ish with a static IP you can do the whole WireGuard tunnel thing at the cost

Don't disagree with you that using TrueNAS Core as a general server/VM platform (some other things as well) has pain points. Some of which are BSDisms, some just as you say due to the plain fact that the community is vastly smalle
