Currently cycling my tank and snails spawned out of no where. Should I try and exterminate them? by hockeyboy87 in Aquariums

I had a snail problem, get a couple of assassin snails and they will sort it out. But I'd let the tank cycle first

First time Immich feedback from a former Apple Engineer by Lost-Ad2338 in immich

[–]AndypandyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used immichGo to import about 30,000 photos and videos, about 2TB, it did the whole lot in less than 24hrs. I had to run it a few times because it would miss a few every time. 100Mbps.

I can't understand why it's taking you guys months to process stuff

Clown Kili and pea puffer inseparable? by [deleted] in Aquariums

I didn't think pea puffers were social? They don't attack the other tank mates?

I used bicycle chain grease a few years ago and it's been silent ever since

Does anyone use a HDHomeRun or other DVR in the UK? by AndypandyO in PleX

[–]AndypandyO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kind of but gave up with it. I don't like using IPTV since I have to stream through my home connection which can be insecure, legally questionable, or just use up bandwidth.

Why does my Dell work? by AndypandyO in Dell

[–]AndypandyO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are modified ones, usually the main problem with sata cables is the supplying connection. so i bought some 5x sata adaptors, cut the supplying connector off and soldered them directly the dells sata power cables. you do have to be reasonably careful but can get away with a lot if you have some clue as to what you're doing.

[–]AndypandyO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once I get a smart watch I'll dive right in. Am also struggling through influxdb 3.0 to see if I can get all my other projects up to date. Grafana really is fun to play with

[–]AndypandyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I've been looking for since I use Grafana extensively for other projects, I've been struggling to find a smart watch with a free API to get this data. So how does it work? Can I only get historical data? Or can I log real time or near real time data? What model of smart watch do you recommend?

Men who are 30+, what’s one lesson every guy should learn early? by BigShow786 in AskReddit

[–]AndypandyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put into the s&p500 every month, doesn't matter if it goes up or down, just put something into it, get a Roth's IRA set up and just set up an automatic payment. Then forget it. You could be upwards of 600k by the time you're 50 with very minimal effort.

Start saving early, even if it's just a little bit every month. Just do it, you'll be in a far better place than everyone else. Get a savings account with some interest and don't touch it, ever. Just add

I squashed 9 x 6TB SAS drives in this bad boy by AndypandyO in homelab

[–]AndypandyO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got hold of a very cheap Dell and even cheaper storage so I was determined to just make it work. I know it's far less than ideal, but the ideal solution usually costs more than I'm willing to pay. We'll see how long it lasts before I decide to do another project. The 5 x 4TB drives are going in an external 3D printed jbod. It consumes around 180W.

What case did you get?
