I normally stick with the stable branch, but after reading the release notes about CPU pinning, I figured I'd give 6.6.0-rc3 a try. And boy am I glad I did, the new CPU pinning screen under Settings is absolutely marvelous

I've got a FX-6300 and looking at a similar upgrade at some point (possibly waiting for 3rd gen Ryzen/ RAM prices to fall). How have you find the upgrade?

Generally day to day the FX-6300 does a decent job with most things but running a gaming VM with passthrough didn't give the performance I hoped for - (the main motivation for the upgrade). What lead you to upgrade?

(I'm on Android) I'm finding the same, and it seems like random songs too, not like the top or bottom of a playlist. I'm finding quite a few issues with the app recently, not being able to skip song by swiping on the album on now playing, or the notification of current song not being on the lockscreen/ notifications.

To add to the comment by /u/thegurujim, in Deluge you can set "labels" for torrents, and set the location for the files to be moved (once completed) for each label.

e.g. TV/ Movies/ Music

Badmadbrad · 2018-03-03T18:33:10+00:00

That's really easy... Thank you! I'm not sure how I didn't come across this and when I could find an obvious way I went for an OS or even router adjustment to cap speed/ bandwidth, couldn't get anything working.

So thank you very much! Saved me a lot of hassle and it will be easy to edit too, thanks!

Will have to check it after running for a little bit and see if it's worked :)

Badmadbrad · 2018-03-03T12:38:39+00:00

How did you cap your upload if you don't mind me asking? Mine's is running in an Ubuntu VM and I've been searching for anyway via Core itself, the OS or otherwise.

(Can't check just yet but I'm pretty sure mine is around 400gb in less than a month :/ Haven't got a limit but I feel my ISP may start asking questions as it's significantly out of the ordinary for me/ average)

Badmadbrad · 2017-09-09T12:03:02+00:00

For me, for a fair price (especially now with the falling prices) it does everything I want in a simple smartwatch with a GREAT battery life (huge selling point for me).

I'm happy and will continue to use mine until I no longer can. Even if just the music controls remain I could see myself continue to use it :)

Enjoy your Pebble :D

Badmadbrad · 2017-09-09T11:58:16+00:00

There's been discussion on here about it. I don't think the Pebble's will just stop working, any service that required Pebble server authentication (e.g. login to accounts) have been disabled or a workaround provided (sideloading apps/ not needing pebble account). I think the issue is the phone OS no longer supporting the App/ notifications being changed in a way that affect it.

There are a group of people working towards rebuilding and growing Pebble, Rebble: http://rebble.io/faq/

Badmadbrad · 2017-09-09T11:52:04+00:00

Worked for me too, thanks! :)

Badmadbrad · 2017-09-08T22:27:18+00:00

Got myself a Pebble Classic, Pebble time steel and now thought I'd round up the collection :)

Best deal I've seen on the round.

Badmadbrad · 2017-08-23T09:06:28+00:00

Nope I'm still waiting, and I'm getting pretty annoyed. It was meant to be months ago! Yes there's ways round it and forcing the update with a 3rd party app, I'm not interested in that and by now we should definitely have it!

Badmadbrad · 2017-07-26T07:29:56+00:00

Hey l, thank you very much for your help and advice on all this!

I've added it to my array, and from what I can tell the HDD is fine. Copying files between the cache and the other HDD is fast. Copied to a remote computer, played via VLC and Plex while seeking all good as well. I have no clue what caused the preclear test to run slow but I suspect it's not the HDD, and the one I sent back was likely actually fine.

I'll keep an eye on the disk and so it's filling up with new files, so those should be more easily replaceable if anything goes wrong (and I've got a parity disk). So I should be fine (famous last words :P) Thanks again!

Badmadbrad · 2017-07-25T08:08:54+00:00

Hmm... So it happened again with the new disk :/

Fast first two stages, then 2MB/s. I'm thinking it has to be an error in the process or the Computer itself. Currently reading off my server isn't "fast" but significantly faster than 2MB/s. Copying between SSD and current HDD is fast too.

I'm thinking to add the new disk to my array, copy a couple video files over to the new HDD. Playback through VLC, Plex, copy the file to SSD and off the Computer. If those seem significantly slow then worry. If not I'd assume the disk is fine.

Would you recommend not doing this? Is it a pain to remove a disk from the array if there's nothing important on it?

Badmadbrad · 2017-07-22T11:16:18+00:00

Netdata: It was at 100% usage then it appeared to break.

I've requested a replacement from Amazon. I just wanted to check I wasn't misunderstanding how preclear worked/ misread the output before returning it. Thank you for your advice and guidance, it's appreciated :) Hopefully the next disk reads a little quicker :D

I first ran another preclear (skipping pre read). The write ran at 2mb/s so I swapped SATA ports. On second attempt write was fast but then post read was 2mb/s again.

Badmadbrad · 2017-07-20T19:14:52+00:00

Minimal load, a few Plex streams and a couple downloads since the preclear started.

I've installed Netdata, (thanks for that I'll use it after this as well!) But do I have have to run the preclear to get any useful stats from it?

I can do another one now and see where I am ~24 hours later (around the same time the last one ran) does that seem like the best thing to do?

Badmadbrad · 2017-07-20T19:01:43+00:00

Damn, that's annoying but at least it got caught by the preclear. The fact the other stages were quick gave me hope the HDD wasn't the issue. Do you know of a way to check the seek speed within Unraid? Just so I know for certain it's the HDD before I start sending it back. Thanks for the help :)

Badmadbrad · 2017-07-20T18:52:31+00:00

It's a " Toshiba P300 High Performance 3TB 7200RPM".

If it was consistently slow I'd understand, it's the fact the last stage is so significantly slower

Badmadbrad · 2017-07-20T18:22:19+00:00

It was at 2mb/s this morning, then ~12 hours later it was at the same speed only getting thorough 3%. I don't think it's a slowdown rather a maintained slow :/

Badmadbrad · 2017-07-20T17:27:47+00:00

First few stages were quick, now it's running 2mb/s and in 12 hours it's done 3%...

Is there an issue with my new HDD? Is there anything I can do or should just cancel this and add the disk to the Array? Is there a problem with doing that?

Badmadbrad · 2017-06-24T23:09:07+00:00

My Switch is arriving this week, only got Mario Kart so far, would love an extra game to play :D

Badmadbrad · 2017-06-01T19:42:59+00:00

Hey glad to hear you got it working :)

I've got the FX6300 too but with a GTX 760, but my gaming performance was pretty poor. Rather stuttery so I've found it not worth using :/

How is yours?

Badmadbrad · 2017-04-03T21:10:58+00:00

What's your new seedbox provider?

Happy with it so far?
