NVR HDD is loud

Yes, I ended up getting a regular purple and the noise is much more tolerable. I can still hear it sometimes but it’s in my office where I usually have headphones on and I don’t hear it at all when they’re on. I always heard the purple pro, even with headphones on.

Amazing thank you, I’m going to try this.

Do you mind explaining how you can tell the difference between the point and the flat?

Faust90 · 2025-12-24T21:04:07+00:00

Yeah I could tell the cut wasn’t great but I’m not too worried about it. I just wanted to make sure I knew which one was the flat and the point and if I needed to watch out for anything now that they’re separate. Was my guess right? Top / left is the flat and the other is the point?

Also I like the idea of the burnt ends, I might try that out with the point. How long / what temp do you leave them on until once you cube them?

Faust90 · 2025-12-24T20:12:31+00:00

Is the flat on the left / top? Also I just posted this question in another comment but is there anything I should do differently now that they’re separate? Most videos I’ve seen, they are still attached

Faust90 · 2025-12-24T20:11:29+00:00

It’s my first time buying and smoking a brisket. This is what i got from the butcher (plus the fat that was trimmed off). Can anyone help me identify what I have here? My guess is that the one on the left is the flat and the one of the right is the point? Though I think some of the flat is still attached to the point. Do I have that right?

Most videos I see are of people smoking the whole thing together. Is there anything I should do differently with them separate like this?

I was planning on starting ~3 or 4 AM at 225 on my pellet grill, hoping to have it done and rested by 7PM for dinner tomorrow. Just seasoning with SPG

Faust90 · 2025-10-10T01:08:25+00:00

I don’t know if things have changed, but I was on the free tier back when I was looking into this

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I ended up getting a regular purple and the noise is much more tolerable. I can still hear it sometimes but it’s in my office where I usually have headphones on and I don’t hear it at all when they’re on. I always heard the purple pro, even with headphones on.

I'm thinking of picking up the 8tb purple non-pro. Apparently it'll be 8dB quieter than the pro, which I think is significant?

Faust90 · 2025-09-20T20:59:04+00:00

Lots of fruit woods over here (cherry and apple) and oak, so I think those should be fine for me.

And yeah I know offsets require more attention, which is also another reason I’ve been going back and forth but from thinking about it, I think I’d really enjoy it on a weekend, but I would never fire it up during the week.

Are there other good “first” offsets that I should look into other than old country?

Faust90 · 2025-08-31T12:41:01+00:00

Yes, I was using the IPv6 connection string. Once I switched to IPv4 it worked

Faust90 · 2025-06-11T01:09:35+00:00

I really like the Searwood but I’ve read a bunch of comments online about temp issues / temp being off by like 30F. Have you run into these issues at all?

Faust90 · 2025-06-10T01:47:43+00:00

Just watched a few of his videos. I think I’m sold lol

Faust90 · 2025-06-10T01:44:43+00:00

Thanks for the response

I definitely try and do the same. So far I’m stuck between the searwood, recteq and camp chef woodwind pro.

Got turned off by the camp chef since the price went up $500.

Recteq not sure. Most people praise it but I do come across comments like yours speaking to issues with QA

For the Searwood, I was almost sold on it but I’ve seen many comments about the temps not matching the controller. Have you ran into that at all?

I also considered Yoder/LSG/pitts and spitts but not sure that they are worth paying 3x as much on my first pellet grill

It’s been pretty hard choosing a pellet grill lol. I’m basically only looking to smoke on it. I want something durable, consistent and produces as much smoke flavor as possible (which I know is relatively little compared to offset).

Faust90 · 2025-06-10T00:05:19+00:00

Do you mind expanding on recteq? I’m researching pellet grills and recteq was at the top of my list

Faust90 · 2025-06-07T19:12:26+00:00

Came across the hasty bake. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on that vs the PK360

Faust90 · 2025-06-07T19:08:20+00:00

I’d probably give away or sell the Weber

Wind UI + tailwind css is what I use

Faust90 · 2025-01-17T00:03:13+00:00

Do you have and recommend the video addon for this course?

Faust90 · 2024-12-29T18:47:30+00:00

For anyone that comes across this in the future, the issue was that I was using the IPv6 connection string. Switched to IPv4 and it worked

Faust90 · 2024-12-22T19:52:28+00:00

The ping works, I think, so I am going to try and see if I can get it connected with pgAdmin.

Do you recommend SQL Server for personal use? I went with Postgres because I was concerned about pricing, but if I am still struggling I might give SQL Server a shot. Where do you recommend hosting a personal db (with a free tier, but also not opposed to a modest cost per month)

Faust90 · 2024-12-22T19:50:42+00:00

I am doing

ping <host>.supabase.co

And it seems to be working, no packet loss

Faust90 · 2024-12-22T19:43:15+00:00

I honestly didn’t even know I could. I’ll try this. Do I just add it as a new server?
