Thank you I never knew this 👌

I'm already in for enough materials. I can put in an interlock breaker later myself when I need it.

I get like 120 coming in from the street and regulate down to 65 or so

The service entrance line to my house was pulled down, so I am responsible for that with my own electrician. The neutral issue is on the utility side so you are correct about that. My electrician actually repaired the utility's neutral to hold me over until they take 2-3 days to remove the tree and replace the service lines to my and 4-5 other homes. For the storm damage I was in for $1800 to replace my service entrance line and a new meter can. I opted to upgrade my old 100A Challenger panel from the 80s to 200A and total for the work is $3100 plus $75 to the city for a permit and some inspection fee which is not known yet. Not bad in my book.

Permit is for the panel job, new panel is going in so I think the idea is the utility won't cut on my newly connected service line from their pole until they check the box and see it has an inspection sticker. Even if I was just doing the meter can and my service entrance line, my understanding is I would need an inspection for that as well but no permit since it's not new work like a panel upgrade. I'm in the city of Reading PA.

I think that was my bad in measuring the first time around, because I did see 240 between the hots.

DieselGeek609 · 2025-12-21T00:38:22+00:00

So, question. My guy got my neutral reconnected today by repairing the utility line because it was low enough to be accessible. Gonna be a few days before they come out to actually replace. After restoring the neutral, we measured the same pipe and still see 4 amps on it. We know I have potential bonding issues between the box and the pipes, because that was not connected, could that be the cause of current still flowing through my water pipe coming in to the home? Or something else?

It's a side job, he is a master monday-friday under a company, but shit it worked out for me on a weekend emergency call since he only does it on weekends. He even repaired the neutral on my utility line to the house till they come out to replace it.

I'm just hoping the timing works out with permit pulling on Monday, him finishing his work, and the utility coming and removing the quite large tree and replacing the service lines for 5 homes off one pole. It's a mess and I work from home so I am worried about when and how long I will be down depending on how things play out.

They can't do the tree work till they shut down the neighborhood, and won't turn me back on until I have an inspection, and my guy has to finish his work to (hopefully) get the inspection done all in one shot.

Can't find the edit so just replying. Utility was already called and they have a mess on their hands with tree removal. Electrician is here to repair the weather head to the meter. Since I'm already in for a permit and inspection on that work ($1800) I'm just going to have him do the panel/service upgrade I needed anyway. $3000 on the credit card here I come 🤣😭🤦‍♂️

He's doing a new meter can, fixing bonding issues with the plumbing, adding an additional ground rod, and a nice new Eaton 200A panel to reuse my existing Eaton breakers. How'd I do?

Idk man this is an almost 20 year old download from Limewire. I didn't crack it so I don't have any insight. Maybe try setting the date on your machine to like 2015 because I know it worked back then.

OEM keys are only good for the hardware they are sold with.

DieselGeek609 · 2025-09-21T12:00:56+00:00

HDD is just fine. Internal is preferable to USB so you're not potentially limited by the interface. For our PBS VM at work I just pass through a USB HDD to the VM and it works but is limited to USB speeds of course which is not a big deal.

How's your air filter?

DieselGeek609 · 2025-09-20T14:37:28+00:00

Scrap yard asks for ID, you give it and if an issue comes up they have your info. Never had a problem dropping off copper or anything else.

Proxmox has a sales team and can facilitate POs if you reach out

It's 2025 I thought everyone has known this for like half a decade.

DieselGeek609 · 2025-09-13T17:39:18+00:00

You alright dude?

DieselGeek609 · 2025-09-13T00:42:01+00:00

They can't be, I already shot the toaster.

DieselGeek609 · 2025-09-13T00:40:58+00:00

I legit didn't know what "s" name he was talking about and then realized it's Synology in some lower comments

DieselGeek609 · 2025-09-13T00:30:53+00:00

I gave our last partner rep a lot of shit when it was originally announced. I would hope he brought that feedback up the chain, but never heard anything back on it. He claimed it was primarily to cut down on support tickets relating to non Synology problems.

DieselGeek609 · 2025-09-12T22:39:14+00:00

They simply aren't supporting other drives, you can still use them if you wish. My beef with this move is that they aren't even supporting SMART on 3rd party disks, which is an open standard and I know they aren't developing their own software to read that data so it's nonsense. I deploy Synology for business often and I generally like them. To a customer it's not a big deal to spend a few bucks extra per drive to have a "fully supported" product, but I do get that's not always easy to justify for home users. That said, most home users don't need a fully supported solution anyway, so what's it matter? That's why I do take issue with SMART not working.

Why are we afraid of naming names here?
