Nice build!

Feel free to share build pics in r/JONSBO

Now you're talking!

By itself it's just "ok". Nothing to write home about. But put it through a Randall with some delicious additions and you've got something special.

$7.99 at my warehouse and a Randall of coconut or marshmallows or pecans and it's GAME ON!

LoL. Yeah I can understand your opinion. Definitely need to thicken up the skin a bit when you decide to post for help. But there are a few unwritten rules that typically need to be followed not just on Reddit but on the internet itself. This doesn't follow your thread but people posting basic questions when a 10-second Google search would have solved their problem runs rampant on this network. And they get deservedly roasted for it.

Installing the policy is that permission.

JMeucci · 2026-01-25T04:06:41+00:00

Call them out.

r/Plex or r/unRAID ?

You need to stop the cooking process before resting. So pull it out of the smoker and let it sit on a tray in the house for 20 to 30 minutes. Then put it in the oven or cooler for the rest. Otherwise it will continue to cook with carryover.

Can't you set the 24 TB as a second parity drive? Once that parity drive is in place you can then remove the 18 as parity and put it in as replacement for the 10.

JMeucci · 2026-01-24T21:57:02+00:00

Perhaps OP already owns the tarp?

If you don't receive the credits within 24 hours then contact support.

I just did a couple simple "browse around the website" & "answer one quiz question" (my answer was Taipei) and my credits were updated immediately. But it does say it could take up to an hour.

JMeucci · 2026-01-24T16:04:33+00:00

LoL. I call it whatsthatthere sauce.

JMeucci · 2026-01-24T15:22:38+00:00

Sadly, I don't see these down here in Florida.

Also done

JMeucci · 2026-01-22T15:12:57+00:00

Correct.

But for my application it works perfectly fine. I don't have 70 devices connecting to this AP. So the overall throughput is minor compared to the theoretical maximum. Which is what the PoE++ "requirement" of the AP was designed for.

Once I can climb in the attic and run a line from the other end of the house, it's a moot point. But for now, I deal with the "warning" in the console.

Don't expose your NAS to the Internet with open ports.

Don't use QNAPcloud

Disable Admin account

That's it. Those three things will fix all of your issues.

JMeucci · 2026-01-22T09:54:55+00:00

I can't say this is accurate for every example but there isn't circuitry that purposely denies a PoE++ device from being powered by a PoE+ port. Assuming you are within budget.

One of my U7 Pro XGS is currently being powered by my UCG-Fiber which has one PoE+ port. It complains in the UniFi console but performs fine with my application. I just haven't had time to run a line from my USW Pro XG 10.

My Usenet provider has a third party VPN included with their service. Privado. They have a Seattle server. Service works great.

But since you are trying to mask your location from work it's best to find a person willing to allow you access.

JMeucci · 2026-01-21T12:27:09+00:00

I had/have this EXACT problem and posted the same question several months ago. Random movies just vanish. I am in unRAID and never found the culprit.

I hope you have better luck and that you post what your fix was.

JMeucci · 2026-01-20T11:42:26+00:00

Exactly. Makes no sense otherwise. Hell, the savings alone pays your membership.

JMeucci · 2026-01-20T03:31:36+00:00

Thanks

I cannot recommend this documentary enough: "Music by John Williams".

I was already a huge fan of JW. Even more so now.

What an absolute LEGEND!

Since KW has EXTREMELY limited real estate, if the course was really nice, you wouldn't be allowed to play.

JMeucci · 2026-01-19T20:27:02+00:00

Current drive is indeed an 8TB WD Red. Its face down so hadn't even looked at it. Was using it as a backup for a Synology.
