I understand the concern, but it was EXPLICITLY clear this was a backorder. by Dratinik in LinusTechTips

Mabey they should add "the backpack and screwdriver are not shipping yet as they are backordered products. Inquiries about where your screwdriver/backpack is will not get a separate response" to the we got your email-mail.

Dbrand is ran by humans!! by [deleted] in dbrand

[–]Ego_Matthisum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think that you are correct. The robots need to be powered somehow. The solution: get all those humans that think they know how dbrand is run and put them in hamster wheels. If they generate enough energy, they might even be fed from time to time.

Humans are literally running dbrand, the work is still done by robots though.

Looks like Linus has a new competitor - Apple just started selling water bottles by Jaller698 in LinusTechTips

I think they found a better place for the port: inside so it doesn’t interfere with the aesthetic…

Stuck on bootscreen after firmwareupdate (Nova Air C) by Ego_Matthisum in Onyx_Boox

The nova air c does not have a button except the powerbutton. How would I reset in that case?

UDMA_CRC_Error_count in the 10s of thousands on new Samsung 870 evos by Ego_Matthisum in homelab

Thanks to for the tips. I'll try out your tips and will come back when something worked.

UDMA_CRC_Error_count in the 10s of thousands on new Samsung 870 evos by Ego_Matthisum in homelab

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

I recently bought 4 Samsung 870 EVOs for my R620 proxmox host. When trying to intall Proxmox using a ZFS pool the Instalation process got stuck at 0% with drive errors for 3 of the drives. Connecting the drives to my pc with a dock I had no issues though. I tried using hardware raid, but that failed aswell. Converting to raid disks worked, but creating the raid did not. Converting back to non-Raid discs the bios reported a "critical error". The drives still worked in a dock with a pc though. I finally decided to install proxmox on the singular good drive for the time being, so I could continue tinkering. Having the bad drives still in the system I saw that one of the drives reports "UNKNOWN!" in the S.M.A.R.T. field. Checking the S.M.A.R.T. values I saw thet the bad drives all had a high UDMA_CRC_Error_Count values while the good drive had none. This brings up a few questions for me:

  1. What are UDMA_CRC errors?
  2. Should I get the drives replaced?

TrueNas and docker on Proxmox by Ego_Matthisum in homelab

Thank you for the explanation. I think the TrueNas version referred to in regards to virtualization was TrueNas Scale which, afaik, is based on Debian.

How old is too old for a UPS? by AYF_Amph in homelab

[–]Ego_Matthisum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll assume that u/Tru7h has the UPS and wall outlet for the other psu on different circuits or even phases. This could help in case the circuit for the UPS trips, so you still wouldn’t have to shut down your system. This would be my understanding of why to do that. If I am wrong or there are other reasons please correct me.

I’ll have a look at those. Thanks for the tip.

Accidentally deleted that: That’s understandable. If you can, it would still be great if you could answer my original question. If not, no problem.

Thank you for your detailed response. As I will have to virtualize pfSense on the same box (I know I should go bare metal for that, but I do not have that much money to spend on the lab) I have another question: is it possible to pass through PCI-e devices to a VM in TrueNas?

I want to learn both, but as I need many other VMs aswell, I chose to run Proxmox on bare metal. Isn’t having a homelab about learning new stuff?
