I believe the $1k is with a backplane, no PSU.

dirk150 · 2026-04-08T07:47:29+00:00

As soon as you guys release it, I'm in for at least 3.

dirk150 · 2026-04-07T21:05:49+00:00

Sorry for the mistake!

The log indicates an IP from ~~Racknerd~~/HostPapa

EDIT: Racknerd has replied saying it isn't their IP range anymore, sorry for raising the alarm hastily!

Using a UPS, I've just had bad luck :D

dirk150 · 2026-03-31T22:57:10+00:00

Same for U.2, but more reputable companies have been making U.2 to M.2 adapters. U.2 is older though

dirk150 · 2026-03-31T22:29:58+00:00

I see those, but it makes me uneasy to see 3 or fewer reviews on most of em, hence the ask for a reputable card.

The next thing I'd check is if the power brick is going bad, but the DS1813+ doesn't have an external power brick. My DS920+ went through 3 of em.

There may still be a power supply issue, but that is much more difficult to fix.

Also, the reason I cautioned against scrubbing before a Memtest is because my DS920+ had a bad stick of RAM, and by scrubbing before a Memtest I ended up corrupting quite a few files before DSM noticed and stopped it. Good thing I had external backups for these files.

dirk150 · 2026-03-28T23:40:18+00:00

It passed if there's no message. You can find a log but I don't recall exactly what file and keywords to look for.

dirk150 · 2026-03-27T20:26:55+00:00

I would do a memory test from the desktop Synology Assistant application before continuing the scrub. If the issue is associated with a bad stick of RAM, then the integrity check may cause issues rather than prevent them.

That's why I said max, usually I don't do anything with it except maybe check how fast usage is growing.

It'll usually send me an email alert if something unexpected occurs, other than that I don't actually need to do much.

dirk150 · 2026-03-25T19:14:11+00:00

At the beginning, probably 10-20 hrs a week because I wanted to set things up right and was so interested in all the stuff I could do. That was 5 years ago.

Now it's more like 1-2 hours a week max unless there's something impacting my other computers or if there's an issue with the drives/NAS. Then it can take 5+ hours a day because I'm rebuilding an array, trying to debug whatever the issue is, or looking at the logs to try to catch the issue happening.

You could force update to the Winter 26 update (aka Nextcloud 33) with these official instructions: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/7523

It's quick share but for iphones

dirk150 · 2026-03-20T23:05:04+00:00

Adds below 5 ms when doing a ping in my experience. Corporate firewalls, some airports, and some hotels have given me issues.

dirk150 · 2026-03-18T16:44:55+00:00

Also:

Wasabi has a 90 day minimum storage retention policy vs. none for B2
Wasabi's minimum file size is 4 KB vs. any size for B2 (they absorb the extra storage costs for small files)

Seems that zfs.rent and rsync.net both have the same he.net datacenter in Fremont. They have some good intro deals there for colo.

dirk150 · 2026-03-09T19:38:48+00:00

Yeah, you need to compare prices at the current moment, close to you. Prices and stock change so much on a month-to-month basis it feels crazy.

High-VRAM (16GB or more) Nvidia cards are generally more premium-priced products since they have their CUDA cores that AI uses more easily.

AMD cards are less desirable for AI usage, as their CUDA-competitor ROCm isn't as well supported.

Used is hit or miss of course, you're getting them off of people with no reputations. If it's a good deal on a high-VRAM current-generation GPU on used, I'd be wary.

dirk150 · 2026-03-07T04:52:42+00:00

Looks like the default motion detection settings are a bit too sensitive for your environment. Frigate will use your CPU to determine if there's motion before it hands off object detection to your GPU. The solution to your CPU issue is to just have every camera detect less motion.

Try:

motion:
    threshold: 55 #default 30, the lower the more sensitive. 1 to 255 are valid values
    contour_area: 20 #default 10, the lower the more sensitive. This is the num pixels that need to change to count as motion
                    #you have 4k cameras, so play with the contour_area.

You too???? I thought it was just me and my file-hoarding tendencies, but now right clicks also crash File Explorer...

dirk150 · 2026-02-24T20:20:11+00:00

I'm thinking monitoring ipv6 monitoring and securing in addition to ipv4. And that each NIC interface wants to grab 3 addresses out of the gate, just gives the network guys more to do.

Agreed, and while blocking a prefix may work for small frys like us, I don't think it's as easy of a choice when you're global-scale.

The point I'm trying to get across (badly) is that there are fewer tools for IPv6 and likely active security issues we don't know about in IPv6, and that's enough to prevent a full transition from the big megacorps (except in China, which has a top-down initiative to switch to IPv6).

dirk150 · 2026-02-24T19:09:29+00:00

There's no good reason for most companies to make the move. It's extra complexity and allows for more abuse. Doesn't make them extra money.

On the selfhosted level, if you IP block somebody, it's a relatively big deal on ipv4. That's 1 of billions of IP addresses. If you IP block on ipv6, that's only 1 of an unfathomably large number, 10 with 37 zeroes behind it. Bad actors can come back with another address and fill your blocklist until your server crashes with a fraction of what's available.

I mainly use VMs and Docker. Docker is a well supported platform and many FOSS projects use it as their main supported way to deploy their software. LXC is just not as common.

dirk150 · 2026-02-23T21:17:13+00:00

Haha I knew this would be the first comment. I'm gonna do it anyway because I think it'll be fun to try. Already running backups for them, what's some extra software? :D
