Just give them access to it now? There shouldn’t be any issue with it continuing to be available or a while if you should get hit by a bus.
- Comment on Are PrimeBuy and Insight.com trusted for server parts (and any ATX PSUs with the fan at the back)? 11 months ago:
primebuy looks like a ripoff of amazon, insight looks legit, but you’ll probably get what your order from either site
- Comment on Jellyfin stuttering 11 months ago:
Anything in the Jellyfin logs?
- Comment on pfsense: Who needs AES-NI? 11 months ago:
You should consider opnsense instead of pfsense in any case.
- Comment on Enterprise SSD? 11 months ago:
What are you using for a drive controller?
- Comment on Enterprise SSD? 11 months ago:
Even the slowest SSD write speeds should be faster than an HDD, and those have been running systems perfectly fine for decades. I’ve never used enterprise SSDs (usually one little consumer SSD, or even USB, for boot/cache and a bunch of HDDs for storage) and I’ve never had a problem.
What kind of hardware are you using?
- Comment on Do you configure your servarr docker containers from one docker-compose file, or individual ones? 11 months ago:
Why separate it? It’s part of the same stack. Radar downloads, Jellyfin plays.
- Comment on Can I use two different drives? 11 months ago:
Ebay. If you’re outside the US, you’ll probably be better off with a more local site.
- Comment on Can I use two different drives? 11 months ago:
I usually find the cheapest drives and buy multiple of those, but you should be able to assemble a RAID out of different disks, though you’ll be limited to the space of the smallest one in the mirror set.
Also make sure that your RAID systems supports this.
- Comment on Need help setting up local SSL certificates? 11 months ago:
What exactly is not working? What is it doing/not doing, compared to what you are expecting it to do?
- Comment on How do i fix this ugly hole in the wall? 11 months ago:
Tell him to come back and finish the job, because that is shit, and you’re paying him to do the whole job, not half-ass it.
- Comment on Another permission question 11 months ago:
Or just start a new login shell.
- Comment on Dell Optiplex turning into turbine after load 1 year ago:
See if there’s a cooling profile option in the BIOS. Maybe also run the Dell diagnostics. Might be something wrong with the fan tachometer.
Worst case, assuming the PWM is working properly, you could use a third-party application to control the fan speed.
- Comment on Media Organizer Recommendations - not a pirate 1 year ago:
Use the -arr tools. You don’t need to connect them to any downloader.
- Comment on Small Unraid PC with 2 HDDs. Silverstone SG13 case with Asrock N100DC-ITX, the SATA power cable was too short so I had to improvise. 1 year ago:
Huh. Kind of surprised it supports up to four drives, but if that’s what it says, there you go. Shouldn’t be any risk of drawing too much current through the wire. At most the board or PSU would shut down.
Also, if you are putting more drives in, see if the BIOS lets you enable staggered spin-up, so that they aren’t all peaking at the same time.

If that’s the stock part, seems like it would be within spec. You can check the manual or detailed spec doc to be sure.
- Comment on Wasting water with tankless heater 1 year ago:
turn on the shower before you use the toilet
It’s not actually about the toilet, it’s about turning on the shower earlier.
- Comment on Wasting water with tankless heater 1 year ago:
What part? Most houses I’ve seen in the Northeast either have some kind of access panel, or the shower is backed by a closet in another room where you could cut in if you needed to.
- Comment on Wasting water with tankless heater 1 year ago:
You’ll have to relocate the heater closer to the shower. You can have someone run the gas line to the new location. That’s about all you can do.
You could insulate the hot water pipe, but that will only help when the water in the pipe is already hot, like if someone showered earlier. It only extends the time the water already in the pipe remains hot.
- Comment on Wasting water with tankless heater 1 year ago:
With a tankless heater, there’s nothing to warm up. Hot water is basically instant when it comes out.
How far is your shower from the heater? Usually, long times to first heat are because you have to go through all the cold water sitting in the line before the hot water reaches you.
- Comment on Offsite Backups with Slow-ish Upload? 1 year ago:
Reconsider how much of that 8tb really needs to be backed up. Thousands of pictures of your cat aren’t really going to be missed, and your Linux ISOs can be redownloaded.
- Comment on Is this a bad option for a home server? 1 year ago:
I have never known RPM of a drive to affect its noise level. The fan(s) will be far more significant in noise level. Most drives run pretty quietly, though some can get noisy during I/O, like my HGST Ultrastar He6 drives.
Also, without knowing the model, I wouldn’t say they’re not made to run 24/7. But even on desktop drives, it’s rarely run time that kills them, it’s start-stop cycles. Everything will be fine, but one day you’ll shut it down and some drives won’t spin up. That’s why power outages can be deadly to an old server.
- Comment on Is this a bad option for a home server? 1 year ago:
A more modern processor probably has better power efficiency. But this one should support features like turning off some of the cores or throttling down when not needed.
You could also see if you can get one with lower power consumption, like even the 6700T.
- Comment on First time correlating a crash to a CME (probably Bit-Flip/SEU) 1 year ago:
Right, a bit flip in ZFS cache shouldn’t cause that. But a bit flip in active memory could.
- Comment on First time correlating a crash to a CME (probably Bit-Flip/SEU) 1 year ago:
It certainly could. A bit-flip in a core part of the kernel could easily cause it to lock up, if an address is corrupted and it starts writing garbage over its code, or execution jumps to somewhere unexpected, or an instruction is changed from something reasonable to a halt.
Yes, most of those should trigger a blue screen or kernel panic, but that’s not guaranteed when you’re making completely random changes.
- Comment on First time correlating a crash to a CME (probably Bit-Flip/SEU) 1 year ago:
In memory?
- Comment on Docker vs Podman, which one to choose for a beginner and why ? 1 year ago:
Whichever one is better supported by the containers you want to run.
- Comment on Paint brand preferences? 1 year ago:
The color? They should have been able to match any tint. I would imagine the other qualities like finish would have been close enough.
- Comment on Any differences between Namecheap and Spaceship? 1 year ago:
Huh, so it is. Right at the bottom of the main page, “built with [heart] by Namecheap”.
- Comment on Any recommendations for a 20TB hard drive? 1 year ago:
That’s not Seagate, that’s SanDisk (owned by Western Digital).
