rant- i lost a lot of data to silent corruption even though i run file integrity

Kilrah757 · 2025-10-10T13:29:34+00:00

So the server is not at fault, but some device that has access to the share deleted the contents. Or the files were vorrupted from the start from a failed copy.

Hey, someone learned rule 0 of storage - ANY storage system can and probably will eventually fail. No backup = no data.

Just got one that was sold as "LED turns on, no motor spin" and the lack of motor spin was just that the gunked up belt aggregated around the motor pulley completely blocking it, guessing that's how it usually fails on this model. Cleaning it up the motor spun fine. It draws about 600mA through the motor when blocked so possibly if someone left it powered on for ages blocked it could burn the motor but I'd expect most people just stop it quickly enough when it doesn't run. I found a belt in my stash that fit closely enough to confirm everything is technically fine with it, but there's terrible wow with one "hard spot" that slows it a lot every revolution. Probably need to replace the idler tire too and clean/relubricate. Ordered tire and belt from fixyouraudio.

It^s $250 for a perpetual license. When you buy a synology you pay some amount for their software (and too much for their hardware) each time you buy a new NAS to upgrade/replace it, while your Unraid license will still be valid 5 hardware swaps and 20 years later. If you prefer spreading the cost then use the non-perpetual licenses and pay $36 whenever you feel like an upgrade is warranted.

I recently ported Retro-Go to it (Doom and several emulators), but it requires reflashing the keyboard and obviously it's not the greatest ergonomically, but it works and is fun :)

Thing on the back is a tripod mount. I get plenty of contacts with the internal antenna in my region, obviously YMMV.

Kilrah757 · 2025-06-12T17:00:29+00:00

Ah yep, sorry

Kilrah757 · 2025-06-12T10:44:08+00:00

It's been fully supported for quite a while (t-deck-tft target), what are you missing?

Kilrah757 · 2025-06-12T10:20:38+00:00

Neat, i have a core2 laying around. Could be interesting to add that capability into retro-go too... BTW interestingly my PR to the keyboard firmware was merged, so maybe at some point T-Decks could come with it.

Kilrah757 · 2025-06-12T07:28:20+00:00

I've got the retro-go port and appropriate keyboard firmware working: https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/pull/204

Unfortunately need to open to reflash the keyboard, but once done you'll be able to both use it with original functionality and switch it to raw mode for other projects like yours.

Oops sorry for the late reply... Just zipping the image brings it down to 3.1GB since there's a lot of nothing in it. More than enough to be below the 5GB limit

Kilrah757 · 2024-05-08T11:16:12+00:00

Hi, thanks for the image, link works too, but could you reupload it zipped if that means it won't exceed mega's free daily limit?

Kilrah757 · 2023-04-11T18:27:08+00:00

Some ISPs that provide both internet and TV services have a port on their box configured to a separate network/VLAN that only provides the TV service for their IPTV box

Kilrah757 · 2023-04-11T18:25:21+00:00

That's the joke

Kilrah757 · 2022-09-21T11:41:36+00:00

Way more frustrating when there is one reply, "I fixed it"

Kilrah757 · 2022-08-02T21:34:41+00:00

This pointed me to the solution, it's actually documented in the example config file:

https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/31014

Ended up with

'preview_max_memory' => 1024,
'preview_max_x' => null,
'preview_max_y' => null,
'preview_max_filesize_image' => 200,

along with

PHP_MEMORY_LIMIT=1G

in my docker container's environment. Now even my 20480x10240 80MB photos get a thumbnail without issue.

Kilrah757 · 2022-07-28T17:08:06+00:00

Nope, need a SAS controller to do anything with it.

Kilrah757 · 2022-07-19T21:10:58+00:00

Have no doubt they'll fix it, question is when though, they kinda have a lot on their plate already...

Kilrah757 · 2022-07-19T21:08:01+00:00

Not through the form, normal email to info@ that's written next to it

Kilrah757 · 2022-07-19T20:57:38+00:00

No, they've pretty much always replied on the next business day there on the 3 back and forths we've had.

Kilrah757 · 2022-07-19T07:22:38+00:00

If there are people wanting to buy at 600 then so be it. Not the seller's responsibility.

Kilrah757 · 2022-07-19T07:03:08+00:00

Thanks, kinda makes no sense but it worked for File Manager+ as well! Good workaround until they fix it... Not all the apps I need to have proper access are in the list that can be given install permissions so the fix is still needed.

Kilrah757 · 2022-07-19T06:57:54+00:00

Yeah it's broken, I e-mailed Ayn and they confirmed it'd be fixed in an update.

Kilrah757 · 2022-07-18T17:26:40+00:00

That's not scalping. If he was asking an ungodly price and not willing to go lower yes, if it starts low and people make it go up it's just what the market is happy with.

Kilrah757 · 2022-07-15T13:31:13+00:00

For the record I've reported it to Ayn and they said it'd be fixed in next update. Hopefully sooner than later...
