- Comment on How long do you keep your backups? 3 days ago:
3 2 1 offsite backups typically happen a lot less often than local copies or local backups.
I also don’t really consider any machines data to be irreplaceable. If I lose my phone I want the latest backup. But taxes or photos I care for? Those are an entirely different backup, and those aren’t incremental. They’re just what they are.
- Comment on How long do you keep your backups? 3 days ago:
Kinda depends on what it’s for. My server? IDK, 2 days. Maybe have a dedicated weekly/monthly backup left behind. PC? Honestly just the latest is fine.
But it’s a 10tb drive, so I’ve got months of backups even if they’re running continuously. It’s less a how comfortable I am and more a how much can I afford. (a lot more before the shortage)
- Comment on How long do you keep your backups? 5 days ago:
As long as I have space. My backups are on dedicated drives, and as they run out of space the old ones are deleted.

…ok. Now what?
- Comment on Home server 5 days ago:
But enclosed in a box without much airflow and those temps are going to creep up over time. And take even longer to cool down. Hopefully there’s fans in the bottom or side. Because one exhaust is not great for even just the heat from those hard drives.
I think the best way to handle airflow out is to have a turn or two on the intake/exhausts for the noise to get trapped. I personally just put mine in my basement though. That limits the sound pretty well.
- Comment on Can you please tell me all about your DIY router? 6 days ago:
Gotta go fast. My WiFi can achieve > 1gbit, my internal network is already 10 gig. Why not support faster everywhere?
- Comment on Can you please tell me all about your DIY router? 6 days ago:
I do this at work. If you don’t do pass through for the NICs I’d highly suggest it. When it’s a router it’s insane how much the overhead can be.
We have a 4 gig connection and with the virtual nics got maybe just over 1gbit on a Xeon silver based R640. But after pass through solid 3.5ish. Not sure where the bottleneck is currently, but our other servers do >4 just fine.
- Comment on Can you please tell me all about your DIY router? 6 days ago:
I was using an N100 based mini PC and it did fine at 1gbit. But now that I have 3, and it’s realistically closer to 4 or 5 it doesn’t cut the mustard.
Proper hardware based routers are also just so much more efficient. That N100 machine was constantly hot to the touch. My new UniFi router uses less power and does 10 gig easily.

- Comment on Old laptop with non-funtional display... What do I turn it into 2 weeks ago:
Double check the CPU is still running at full speed. Without a battery most mopdern laptops will throttle CPU (and maybe GPU) performance.
Also there’s no reason to remove the battery if you can cap it’s charging. 80% is better than 100%, but if it’s plugged in 24/7 cap it as low as it will let you. But 60% is even better than 80% for health. And any cap below 100% severely reduces the chance its battery will expand.

Considering the cases probably some buisness that needs employees walking around with phones. Maybe a warehouse or store?
- Comment on nothing phone 1 struggles to play older videos from my s21 3 weeks ago:
What encoding are the videos from your S21 in? Is it something that the phone (or just app) doesn’t support hardware accelerated decoding of?
Like old coder said, try another app first.
- Comment on Anyone got ideas on how to fix this bulging issue with thin prints? 1 month ago:
If I had to guess I’d say cooling. What filament are you using, what print temp, and what fan speed? And more importantly where is the printer?
Creality makes a little tent for the Ender 3 and it helped with a lot of inconsistent prints I was getting. In winter time the printer was in a super cold room and bigger prints would warp. But just normal airflow in a room can cause enough of a temp difference to warp big prints like that. If you can shield the sides of your printer with something that might help.

Still only single channel memory? I was hoping they’d add LPCAMM so you could get the full performance out of the machine.
- Comment on Model numbers for laptops by MSI, Acer, and ASUS need a secret decoder ring.. anyone know the secret meanings? 2 months ago:
There’s not going to be a decoder ring with these machines because those companies shit out so many awful machines that nobody cared about in the first place. You’ll get nice decoding for MacBooks since there’s only ever been like 4 of them, and there’s a diehard and big user base. Same for thinkpads, albeit there’s only like 4 models people actually care about.
But nobody gives a shit about MSIs 900th new model for the year. It was a bad laptop when it was new. Even msi probably didn’t care.
Unfortunately nobody ever put AMDs APUs into actually good laptops, they only ever went into sludge like that destroyer.
- Comment on Any tips on plastic adhesives? Trying to repair headphones 2 months ago:
If it’s ABS (which most thugs are) try methyl ethyl ketone to melt it back together.
Just a dab of MEK will melt the plastic, but it evaporates/dissolves quickly. Once you apply it press the pies together firmly for a few minutes, then let it cure for a while after that. The bond should be as strong as it was from the factor. Then if you want apply some JB weld for extra strength.

- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
That’s the key. It just works. No extra setup necessary.
And more importantly, I do t have to have my 60 year old mom do some additional setup in her end. Just install the app, and go.
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
This happens automatically but it does happen
And that’s the key, it happens automatically and it just works. With jellyfin you have to expose the web server to the internet, or point an app to something else exposed on the internet. With plex you don’t. If you don’t want to (or can’t) a direct connection from your server to their servers, then their servers to your device is established. No VPNs, no reverse proxies, no port forwarding, nothing exposed to the rest of the internet.
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
How do you communicate with the server outside of your network? You’d still need to expose those ports directly to the internet right? (excluding VPNs/reverse proxy etc)
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
Inside the network you do, but not for remote access outside the network.
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
It’s a very sensical statement. I’m not exposing a whole ass website on my own network just for remote viewing. With plex you don’t need to do that.

Also doesn’t jellyfin not support remote streaming?
- Comment on Old Thin Clients - Which CPU is fine? 7 months ago:
A slower CPU sucks, but swapping sucks even more. Is the ram upgradeable? You can get 16gb ddr3 sticks of ram. Idk how much EOL/the ram pocalypse has affected their pricing though.

Not anymore. That changed with the Xbox one and PS4.
