First there was Linux from Scratch.
Next came Beyond Linux from Scratch.
Then there was Gentoo.
Now, the latest, greatest installment: Gentoo from Scratch.

Gawd, that's funny! Thanks for making me smile, assuming I found whatI actually hadn't seen that, but it fits.
you're talking about:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_ebuild_tree_from_scratch
Just what every Gentoo user needs. More management!I've long said that many folks have computers to play games, but for
I really have fallen off the deep end thinking computers are just
tools to get a job done. I'm ashamed of myself...
In the really early days of Gentoo circa 2003 when I started thereJack
was some choice about regular Gentoo or a really low level install. I failed with the low level one but soon learned that every package on
my machine was going to get rebuilt anyway so why bother?
:-( Sad Mark. I'm a putz...
See other reply that has more info. I'm pretty sure it is the
encryption maxing out the CPU.
Mostly, I need a better CPU. If I encrypt anyway.
I just might find a simple distro that I can install on that thing.Honestly, I don't really care what is on it as long as it does what I want

Did you ever tell us the exact CPU you have in there? All I can remember is it has 4 cores. And some AMD processor with a II in its name, but that was you main rig, right?

What encryption algorithm are you using? You should see if this is hardware-accelerated in the kernel for your CPU, or if not if there is another strong algorithm which is. Most newer CPUs will tend to have hardware support for algorithms like AES, and the kernel will use
this. This will greatly improve CPU performance.
I've run into this issue with zfs on Raspberry Pis. ZFS does the
encryption internally, and the openzfs code didn't have support for
ARM hardware encryption the last time I checked (this could have
changed). I found that dm-crypt works MUCH better on Pis as a result,
as the kernel does have ARM encryption hardware support.
Again, this all depends on the algorithm. If you're using something
exotic odds are the hardware won't handle it natively.

I don't know how to get the CPU flags on FreeBSD nor
how to determine if encryption is hardware or software
based on TrueNAS. Given some time I might Google
that.

It took some digging around but I found out it is a AMD Phenom 9750 quad core.
It lists some extensions but I don't see any that are related to
encryption. No AES or whatever for sure. Unless I missed it. I used
My main rig has a AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor and 32GBs of memory.
I'm thinking about a new rig eventually. Rig is getting a little age on it. ;-)

If I like these Raspberry things, may make a media box out of one. I'd
like to have a remote tho. ;-)

So, I've done that. Honestly, these days a Roku is probably the
better option, or something like a Google Chromecast or the 47 other variations on this them.

Where do you put that 2TB drive on your Roku or Chromecast?
I'm thinking of building a media server, not to drive the TV, but to
record and store. I thought that was what a media server was!
My current solution is:
1. Moosefs for storage: amd64 container for the master, and ARM SBCs
for the chunkservers which host all the USB3 hard drives.
2. Plex server in a container on amd64 (looking to migrate this to k8s
over the holiday).

I'm trying to understand the form factor of what you are mentioning above. Presumably the chunkservers aren't sitting on a lab bench with USB
drives hanging off of them. Can you point me toward and example of
what you are using?
I've been considering some of these new mini-computers that have
a couple of 2.5Gb/S Ethernet ports and 3 USB 3 ports but haven't
moved forward because I want it packaged in a single case.
Where does the master reside? In a container on your desktop
machine or is that another element on your network?

over the holiday).
Why Kubernetes?

attaches to the TV. There are some canned solutions for media servers
- I think the NVidia Shield can run Plex server for example. However,
in general server-side I'd go amd64.
My current solution is:
1. Moosefs for storage: amd64 container for the master, and ARM SBCs
for the chunkservers which host all the USB3 hard drives. With a
modest number of them performance is very good, though certainly not
as good as Ceph or local storage. (I do have moosefs in my overlay -
might try to get that into the main repo when I get a chance.)
2. Plex server in a container on amd64 (looking to migrate this to k8s
over the holiday).
3. Rokus or TV apps for the clients.
