gonna let my autocomplete take this one

Maybe I’m not perfect, but at least I have a kw gris tie now you have to use it

What the fuck is this?

Any android phone from the past 5/6 years, install Lineage, use a USB-C to HDMI Converter that has a charging input (they exist)

I’ve bought some brand called MightyMax on the rainforest site for replacement UPS batteries They work good. My friend who works IT swears by them to recondition old APC Schneider units.

Generally cheap sealed AGM lead acids are a lot safer than cheap lithium, the chemistry is simpler, harder to fuck up and the internal safeties are mechanical, not BMS based. Thry may have slightly lower capacity than a name brand cell but for emergency backup when home labbing it won’t matter.

I… Haven’t actually seen Windows ever push auto updates to my BIOS either except through enterprise utilities by companies like Dell. I have always had to manually update BIOS firmware.

Generally speaking though, BIOS is one of those things where if it is working, you don’t mess with it. Occasionally chipset security patches get pushed in BIOS updates but that’s about the only reason to update.

Technically yes, but I have two windows machines that regularly need to access it as well and I preferred SMB to act like a real mapped network drive.

I am running at 2.5g. Ethtool confirms it and in the screenshot I just added to the OP, you can see my max transfer rate is around the 280MB/s that I expect out of 2.5g. The behavior is not network speed limited.

I also found that post. They are talking about bad performance on the NAS side though with openmediavault- which I don’t have, when I boot into Windows on my main desktop there is no performance issue with the NAS whatsoever. Whatever I think is going on with mine it is debian (client) specific.

I have also been daily driving Debian for about 4 months now.

Admittedly I do still need to hop into Windows - I haven’t been able to get Space Engineers or AFOP among others to run stable or with proper performance through the built in steam proton layer. But when I’m browsing, working on CAD, writing documents, playing Minecraft, or basically anything else I just stay in Linux and it’s fine.

There’s an ungodly insane number of old industrial control systems still banging around out there on 486 processors and custom ISA cards. It might never actually go away.

Ahh that tracks. Glad you got it figured out.

Do you have another playback device you can test with?

FireTV sticks and honestly a lot of consumer televisions are always suspicious when there’s random stutter issues.

We do, but what I mean is this is yet another way Russia will benefit from the pedo-war. Oil goes up, they become a critical supplier of helium, they’ll make shitloads of billions to try and prop their own war machine back up. One big huge giant present to Putin, one dictator to another.

Gee I wonder who else has a lot of tappable helium- ah, right. russia.

I’ve never ran into issues either, but generally in any situation where data integrity is somewhat important, ECC is a very good idea. Its never a problem until suddenly it is.

I don’t give a crap about my Minecraft server having ECC, but a storage server where cached data gets written to disk, I’d rather have ECC ensure nothing gets corrupted.

ABSOLUTELY ECC memory, 32gb or higher if you can afford it these days as TrueNAS does benefit from a decent cache space, especially with so many drives to spread data slices across.

Realistically unless you expect multiple concurrent users, any 4 core or higher CPU from 2015-on will be plenty of power to manage the array. No need for dedicated server hardware unless the price is right

I have a Dell PowerEdge t3 SOHO/small business server tower that I gutted and turned into a 5x8tb config. It only has a middling 4 core Xeon 1225v5 and I never get above 50% CPU usage when maxing the drives out. More CPU is needed if you’re doing filesystem compression or need multiple concurrent users.

I believe you’re right but don’t know enough about the real back end magic to confirm. I want to say I once read that the DM was always broadcast to all servers but that seems pointless.
What matters is that dm’s are not private and should not be considered private, both in transit (during sending) and at rest (copy sitting at each server)

Yes. Click on any person’s username and under/next their bio there is a button to send a direct message. Not really a live chat thing yet, lemmy does not have the backend for that.

Note, DM’s over Lemmy are NOT encrypted, only obfuscated, any federated server can read the DM’s you send. Keep that in mind when choosing content to talk about.

The reset button is basically just a signal to the CPU/BIOS that it should wipe memory and begin the boot process from scratch. If it was not working, that indicates the CPU was hard locked and not responding to any sort of input, not just an os fault The power button sends an actual trigger signal to the PSU through the ATX connector so it bypasses any mainboard lock.

Random shit happens, see if it does it again.
My go to for random stability issues is to always run a full deep memtest to look for bad RAM and then a CPU stress test to see if it’s a random thermal or core issue. More often than not I find stability problems just with these two steps.
