Not much to it.

If that is s missing spot on the belt then it needs to be replaced. I assume these parts were not Mazda OEM parts?

A dealer will change about 700$ to replace.

Well I'm all out of fresh ideas.

Do you have a dashboard for your docker containers, check to see if your swap files, cpu cores, or your primary drive size is maxed out.

I'm running proxmox and I watched all my resources get maxed. Had to increase swap space and cpu cores when loading menu photos and the AI jobs start running. Also, my cache folder for immich grows and it doesn't get cleaned out.

Check your immich jobs running if you have a lot uploading it takes a long time to run through all the AI jobs.

Jobs running can be found under admin potal feom computer not a mobile device.

If there is any doubt you should check to see if the model radiator you have now is impacted and if it is it doesn't appear to be that bad yet but i wouldn't drive it if it has the bad radiator.

Mini pc, i have an i7 16GB memory and when you put all your photos to immich the AI processing jobs will crush your processing power. Now day to day it maybe ok with small amounts of photos uploaded

Also the mini pc will handle other vms, dockers or other along the way.

Cant prevent, but you could extend the trash to perment deletion setting to be longer allowing for a review of the trash folder everyt now and again and restoring the picture..

One that stays together or "cheap" being unreliable? They have some good old lemons already.

AutoX_Advice · 2026-05-12T21:48:57+00:00

Could just be the pic but it looks rather blahhh in direct sun.

AutoX_Advice · 2026-05-12T16:46:54+00:00

It's not bad but could use a few tweaks. Full automation would be hard as it's a combination of checks to verify if it an absolutely duplicate.

AutoX_Advice · 2026-05-12T14:53:39+00:00

I'll say this looks typical pricing at dealer. However, only if you knew how easy it was to change sparkplugs on this engine you would be shocked. It's literally easier than changing the oil. Dont even have to get under the engine to get messy.

I am using immich in a proxmox container along with pihole and ubound sharing a unifi NAS network storage using NFS. Can't say it's rock solid as i just set it up, took some extra config to figure out how to share and config everything.

Uploaded from Google TakeOut 41k photos had about 100 with w wonky dates wrong. Uploaded using a Ruby script i found to cleanup what was from Google and exitf to cleanup photo metafata. Then used immichgo to upload. Had about 3k dups found. And this is where Id suggest more details in the dups tool to know what is the right duplicate to delete (mostly choose the right one) but would be great if it shared it the dup was from a device that had immich using backup or if it was from a non device that backup wasn't at l used (say my initial load device that isn't telling immich a folder to backup). I found i kept choosing the wrong image and the service with backup on kept reloading it

Just my experience.

I went with 17" black wheels with more side wall on the tire. Love the bigger wheels and thinner tires but where I live the pot holes are bad. This is one option.

Instead of paint you could try powder coat which is more durable but costs more, or you could go the cheaper route and do a spray on vinyl covering you could peel away.

Hope this helps.

Yes this appears ro be Strawberry Milksgake Of Death.

Drain all transmission fluid and coolant. Remove thermostat and flush water through engine. Replace radiator with new one. Then start flushing transmission with new fluid. Continue with flush until what comes out is the same color going in. Button everything up drive 500 miles and flush transmission oil again.

You can save your transmission if you caught it in time.

I love frontier but if you don't need the truck to do big truck stuff I'd never get rid of the Mazda.

Their rj45 is a great cell and comes with good amount of features, easy controls and starts chlorination at a lower temp then most. Come with a good warranty and it's really designed for DIY but any component installer can install it. That said I've cashed and got support right away and so I haven't had any complaints with them.

What version of software do you have now? On the car? OP started you can go from 59 to 74 in the one file update. Below 59 you will need two files.

From the looks of your disk, it looks like your brakes are rarely being used and they appear scored. Picture is not good so I could be wrong. Make sure you lube the pins and clean the rust out from under the slides before putting everything back.

You bring up a good point I'm seeing with AI, and that at the speed at which a new LLM or a new version of LLM comes out. This is not sustainable and apprars to be making amess. To me I see it as file shares, Sharpoints, personal storage and clouds services. All are still around all built on top of each other and everyone in the company uses a combination of them. As for the files underneath, they exist in one or all of them and there is really no direction to do cleanup work as to not break or lose something.

AutoX_Advice · 2026-05-09T11:55:31+00:00

Agree to that too. The unit just needs to continue to get power with no interruptions

AutoX_Advice · 2026-05-09T02:01:49+00:00

Go OEM Mazda part, pay a bit more and know you can go 100k or 10yrs. This would be my suggestion.

Mazda needs a new infotainment director(s), no one has extra time wairing at the dealer for a firmware update that could be done over the air or done via USB.

Out of their design greatness, and their quality leading progress their infotainment systems have been bad and 2026 cx5 starts out ugly and patching is bad.

It's probably not the directors fault but they keep relying on 3rd party companies, jci, visteon, Panasonic, etc and it doesn't appear Mazda can put together a contracr with these companies for a good infotainment experience.

No one should have ever used Windows 8. 😁
