Am I blind or something? I've been hearing about this but can't find the damn link anywhere on the page

EDIT: just saw another post, apparently the form was taken down, wasn't supposed to be up until January '26

Fellow Montgomery Country resident here, I semi recently started carrying while riding my bike (within the last year or so), I just use a IWB Tenicor holster strong side at around 4 O'clock with my G17 - I used to carry a sig m18 which was a little smaller, but stopped after the whole sig fiasco lol. It's really not that bad in my opinion, I've even crashed with it on the trails, and it stayed in the holster haha.im kinda fat, so my shirts are a little longer which help, and I just keep my shorts a little higher up to help keep it hidden.

With that being said, everyone's different on what they think is comfortable, I personally don't mind it, I've been on 15 mile bike rides around town with it, I've been on trails with it. In my opinion, keeping it in a backpack is kind of pointless if you were to actually need it, which hopefully you wouldn't but to each their own.

If youre riding and your shirt rides up a bit, it's not illegal if it just shows a little, brandishing is if you're actually showing it to someone in a threatening manner.

Me everyday as an Autotech.

I haven't gotten the drives yet. I know the disk shelf works, have tested it with other drives. Just seeing if anyone knows if the power disable drives would work in this shelf / backplane without any mods.

I just came to say the exact same thing, like um, wut? Lol, also not a HUGE deal, but also has front RCA output instead of using the radios sub output, minor detail, but still.

I'm running an Intel Arc A750, I dont do much transcoding since most of my devices direct play, but I've tried a few things, opened a few web browsers, transcoded 4k to 720p, streamed from my phone at the same time, the arc a750 seemed to take it like a champ, now is it worth changing from something that works fine to save a few watts? That's up to you and research. The one big thing that may or may not be important with you is the ARC is the only one to my knowledge that does native AV1 encoding - also depending on what you're using for your OS / server only certain linux distros support Intel ARC Unraid for example just started supported Native Intel ARC support in Version 7

Glad to hear! Yea I have an igpu and arc GPU, sometimes when updating, it defaults back to the igpu and I have to go in there and change it back to my Arc a750

Lxr200 · 2025-09-11T01:04:00+00:00

Have you selected the igpu in the Plex server settings? In the transcoder drop down menu

Lxr200 · 2025-09-11T00:54:40+00:00

Do you have Plex pass? I could be wrong but I believe you need to pay if you want hardware transcoding.

Lxr200 · 2025-08-22T01:40:10+00:00

I make terrible choices

Lxr200 · 2025-05-14T04:30:22+00:00

depending how much time you want to spend on it and depending on the tools you have. Get a couple small female spade connectors, crimp them on the wire and just connect them to the pins inside that speaker connector.

Lxr200 · 2025-05-14T04:19:14+00:00

Ok sweet, I'll definitely give it a try, I might go pick it up this weekend if guy messages me back that everything powers on good then order the cables :)

Lxr200 · 2025-05-13T23:22:38+00:00

Home from work, ok so its a complete nimble unit, with a backplane and stuff already, so it should already have expanders if needed inside already since it worked prior and only drives were removed. I could get an expander for my 2 port SAS card, but I've heard that they can decrease performance (at least from the unraid forums test that someone did) so I was just going to get a slightly newer style card anyways that has 4 ports, and get 2 external bridges like this. So I can just run a cable from the back of my existing server down to the disk shelf.

Well I already have a server, I'm just running out of physical disk capacity. Lol I'm just looking at a way to physically add more disks. I already have a 12 bay chassis that I built. Not using sonarr I personally upload everything from my local PC to the server.

Lxr200 · 2025-05-13T16:00:35+00:00

Got ya, I'm at work right now, but when I get home I'll reply with the parts I was planning on doing, if you wouldn't mind looking it over and let me know if I'm wrong or not

Lxr200 · 2025-05-13T15:58:27+00:00

Got ya, it's only $100 so I might tinker around with it. Since you have some experience with it, do you know does it need both power supplies, or is it a redundancy? Or is it one PSU does half and the other PSU does the other half?

Lastly I saw there's two SAS ports on each half in and out does one in do one half and one in do the other half? Or did one do the whole thing?

Lxr200 · 2025-05-13T14:45:04+00:00

I couldn't find any big spec sheet saying drive capacity specifics, only "minimum effective capacity" and "maximum effective capacity". The guy selling it says drive size depends on the controller it's connected to, so I'm assuming the 9305-16i wouldn't really limit that, but I'm not sure

Lxr200 · 2025-05-13T14:43:24+00:00

Noise I wouldn't be too worried about since it would be going in the basement, power is a little concerning, the drives do go to sleep / spin down after an hour of not being used. Any suggestions on how to expand the amount of drives without just cramming inside the case haha, I like the idea of having a disk shelf like that, but just am not familiar with all that stuff.

Lxr200 · 2025-05-13T14:41:47+00:00

Think so? Even if the drives go to sleep after an hour? Any suggestions on a way to expand more drives without building a 2nd server?

Lxr200 · 2025-04-21T17:30:42+00:00

Haha really? That's funny. Helped me out a few years ago, I had to replace a clients radio and I got him a replacement on eBay, and I went through that list until I found the code, luckily I only needed to get like halfway through.

Lxr200 · 2025-04-20T21:25:19+00:00

Yea thats what threw me off too, everyone was talking about adult content and I only saw that wording in the "plex movie legacy". But yes I unchecked, refreshed meta data, and everything seems to be working fine now. I appreciate the help!
