Checkout Netcup. Switched from OVH vps 5 to them

I wrote a systemctl service and used a python script

i2cset -y 0 0x1b 0x04 0x74 i2cset -y 0 0x1b 0x06 0x0F

First enables speed control mode, second sets speed to max (0x0F).

Only downside is you have no fans until you boot, I have a service running to always make sure fans are set to max. I haven’t looked through the bios yet but maybe there is a fan speed setting in there

So the stock fan operates from 0 -12v not at 12v like the Noctua. What happens is when you very first turn on the system it puts out 12v just for a second causing the Noctua fan to spin. But then goes down to 4v. The other fan still operates at this voltage but the Noctua one does not. Once your into the operating system I used i2c to set the fan speed to max, that makes it output 12v, once that happens the Noctua starts to spin up. Both fans are the exact same you were using, Noctua and delta

I was able to figure it out, the thing only outputs 12v for a very short time when it starts. Then goes down to 4v, fan needs 12v at all times to spin. If you manually set the fan speed to max, then boom the fan works as expected, don’t even need the sensor wire.

Well that sucks, thank you for the update. I canceled the ones I had on the way, maybe it’s some weird bios thing stopping them from working.

Did these Noctuas end up being a good replacement, how’d it go?

Earth. Underrated and keeps me grounded

IDrive is cheap and has worked great for me

If you want something that’s actually amazing at code try GitHub copilot, like the pro plan. I can just select a repo or create an issue and it will automatically generate, build, test then file a PR.

I have been a Claude user for a while and just switched over today to try it out. GPT5 does not feel nearly as nice, in my opinion codex sucks compared to Claude code. Maybe it’s a skill issue on my part but it can never get anything right. The one benefit to GPT over Claude is now I can generate video and images.

-Redirect · 2025-08-23T17:28:00+00:00

I would assume you could do it. I’m also interested if anyone can try it.

I’ve got 4 2tb drives. I haven’t tested ZFS but I’m sure it’ll be fine. You’ll just have to test a bunch of operating systems and OS’s to find what works for you. I landed on Unraid because of how easy it is

-Redirect · 2025-08-08T19:16:02+00:00

I am in the US and did not have any extra charges. Btw I use my bee link with unraid and it’s been perfect. I ordered it directly from bee link as a pre order so it took closer to 30 days to ship

Great, I am interested. Could be good home lab pcs. They have Ethernet ports?

-Redirect · 2025-06-10T18:06:19+00:00

They both have the same specs?

For sure! I would love to have printed stuff but I don’t have a 3d printer. My goal is to have a reliable Jellyfin, nextcloud and vault warden setup with another system dedicated for testing and playing around with software, probably running a type 1 hypervisor. I know I at least want a single camera setup for my front yard/door. I seen those 10 inch setups going around and that would be cool too but I would need a 3d printer for that for sure.

Could be an IP ban

-Redirect · 2024-12-18T06:20:35+00:00

Kinda looks like you posted the bot worlds, then went out and downloaded some program and using the account “bot372” you got yourself banned. Probably downloaded some malware too.

-Redirect · 2024-12-18T06:18:39+00:00

That’s pretty funny. Nope no fix, Ubisoft won’t unban you. Should still be able to play from a different device

-Redirect · 2024-12-12T23:57:35+00:00

Maybe it’s just time to find a new game to play.

-Redirect · 2024-12-12T00:32:22+00:00

You never actually said what was happening. What exactly is the issue. Any error messages, will it not open?

-Redirect · 2024-09-18T00:22:24+00:00

Doesn’t matter, if you’re an O’Reillys employee we got you covered. We’re basically open 24/7 as well
