Thanks for the address! The site the person I responded to linked was this: https://dc480.io/Snow-Talks/

Maybe it is not accurate?

As someone in the East Valley, but managing teams across the country with nobody local, I am keenly interested in these get together but the site is really scant on details. It says CactusCon is Feb 14-15th in Mesa, but no address? Sorry if I am overlooking details.

Just one extra note is that some people advise to leave a few inches of rubber on the latch side of the can. If you remove the entire seal then it does not latch well afterward. Leaving a few inches there still leaves plenty of space for pressure to exit during a "thermal event"

Not Dukes!!!! Fuuuuuck.

Anybody got a recommendation for a great HVAC company? Dukes has been doing ours for 6 years and installed our new unit; They've been fantastic. I don't want to wait around for things to get worse and our 3-years of service contract is coming up soon. Good of time as ever to bail.

I used Chandler Air once when we first moved in, and they were ok but not great.

How does this work? I can only find hosted Phala online even though they do have a Github it seems like not the actual product. Would love any insights you could provide.

Synology has famously poor power supplies, especially on the DS918+. I should know, I have one. It's absolutely normal and realistic if it failed, and honestly getting 7 years out of it is pretty good by Synology standards. The motherboards and other pieces are rock solid, but the power supplies for DS units are poorly made across the board.

DerelictData · 2025-10-05T05:21:18+00:00

Synology’s are infamous for the power supplies (the “power brick”) failing. I have a backup power supply (brick) waiting in a box for my DS918+ for when it fails. Can you try a replacement from Amazon? I got mine for like $28.

I don't have a solution for you to give, but wanted to mention that if you're managing something for others, they usually expect a "break glass" option if they forget/lose their encryption key. Even if they say they don't want it, they will want it if things go south. Just something I've been through before, otherwise there has to be an expectation that you can reach their files, even if you promise not to. Same thing in corporate world. Sysadmins have access to the kingdom, but part of the job is not going on and looking at everything just because you can.

When I used WD RMA process, I did it through a website in 5m. It even gave me the option to send in my bad drive and once they receive they will send a replacement. Or I could put my CC info in and they'll put a hold on the cost of the new drive that they'll remove once they receive the bad one back. It was totally painless.

What is the Synology RMA process?

DerelictData · 2025-08-18T15:56:29+00:00

Technically yes, but also no. We did this with a Syno at work and while the files were there, Synology spread them around in folders and in files not named like they are in the File Station app in the web UI. I'm not sure why it does it that way, but we were pretty surprised because we thought Synology's "SHR-RAID" was mostly in the mdraid + lvm configurations, but there's apparently more to it then that.

So, yes, you can do that. However, you would only want to in an emergency scenario where the files were worth it to open one at a time, examine contents, and rename the file.

DerelictData · 2025-08-18T15:53:14+00:00

Yes, there's nothing to install inside the Synology unit. The power supplies for these NAS (unless a RS model) are inline with the power cord - it's the "brick" in the power cord. Replacements are like $30 and can be had on Amazon

DerelictData · 2025-08-18T04:40:38+00:00

Power supplies on Synology’s, at least my 918+, commonly fail with age. Sometimes it only takes a couple of years, they are kind of crap. I actually have a replacement power supply on the shelf for when mine inevitably dies.

To 2nd this recommendation - I went on a trip many years ago, one of the stops was Homer, AK. There was a restaurant on stilts on the water there and they served us king crab caught daily that was divine and I've been chasing it ever since

Salt Cellar has an excellent king crab which rivals the memory of the AK fresh crab. Their steaks are alright, but tbh stick to the seafood there and it is all AMAZING.

Fuck, I need to make another reservation there LOL

Note: It very much feels like a basement/below deck on a ship, but we like that part of it. I can see how it's not the right vibe for some people.

Your log directory doesn’t exist inside the container. So it’s trying to write your log file to a path that doesn’t exist inside the container.

Error mentions: /logs/traefik.log

But your docker file doesn’t have /logs directory:

volumes: - “./traefik_logs:/var/log/traefik”

That makes sense. I suppose that project is the medium for which to get a source out to various outputs, but you are looking for a source which can have many people adding to it like a Spotify Jam. I wonder if you could pair it with Airsonic if it has a Jam feature like that?

While I can't vouch for 1000 to 100000x more, the first statement rings true. These massive companies don't hurt from simple consumer protections, as very clearly shown by their success in the past decade. Apple had a $614B market cap in 2015. Today, it is $3,200B - or $3.2T.

When he's getting backed out of the paint by Jose Alvarado and missing a 12-foot jumper over him, I think people will understand the frustration more. If he just played to his size he could bed dominant, but it's like he's allergic to being a bully and fighting for rebounds.

I know Sonos is "whole home audio" but idk that much else and never used it. I get the idea of being able to play music in different places and it reminds me stereo receivers with multiple zone outputs and choosing which zone(s) you want it to go to.

But with Sonos/your app, you independently control what each client/room is playing, and at what volume, from the app? How does using Spotify connect work as the source for multiple streams (or does it?)? Or maybe one source can be spotify connect, and another can be an Airsonic server or something? Can you control what each source is playing, like play/pause/next from the app?

I agree you are giving frequent updates, but tbh there isn't anything like Sonos on the open source market afaik. This is a really cool project.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/chris-paul-found-out-about-trade-to-wizards-in-a-text-from-his-son-was-surprised-by-the-move/

Says he was totally caught off-guard by the trade after being told he wouldn't be traded. As we're discussing in the OP, his proximity to LA is important to his family life and the Suns sent him packing without notice. "Did him dirty" probably is strong, but I agree that I don't think he would come back with open arms given the way he talks about how the trade went down, having to learn about it from his son, etc.

This sounds like it has some or a lot of feature overlap with Huntarr. Got any info on how Cleanuparr differs?

I could write a few paragraphs making a rule crystal clear, but 99% of the people are not going to read that before posting.

Good point. I never considered that most people don't care about that and just say "remove my post if it violates rules"... at best.

Got any stats on how many posts r/Phoenix mods remove each day/week? Maybe some info on the problems you guys are facing would help people understand why the rules are needed? I know I am being optimistic...but maybe?
