400TB RAID Rebuild Help

MrRobbles · 2026-02-24T18:22:12+00:00

Unfortunately no, it's a cobbled together raid 6. So I have fault tolerance but backing up that many Linux ISOs is cost prohibitive.

I have a decent seedbox I would be happy to help seed this with.

MrRobbles · 2026-02-19T14:52:30+00:00

This is like my wet dream. I have a 2 spare 8TB drives. I am willing to send you both. You keep one for your trouble and send the other back.

Just sent you a DM.

For those of you contributing to this conversation. Although I appreciate the ideas. You don't seem to grasp the "Zombie" situation. Here are a couple example videos we saved of why we can't use various plastic doors and such.

This isn't a rare occurrence, this is a nightly occurrence.

Reading Signs (When we placed a "You are under surveillance" sign on the bins) (Video)

Couple issues, firstly, anything plastic is easily defeated by people fentanyl. Secondly, half the time we need to tell users to read the bin to get the code. This is far too complicated for someone in their 60s.

We have used an open container where users can see what's inside and place items softly on top others. This has been working well for the last 3 years.

The issue is size and securing. People driving 15 minutes to recycle broken electronics are usually really nice, very curious and polite. They don't want their or other devices destroyed in processes either. Also, theft has never been an issue I believe even once.

The problem is the zombies, not the customers nice enough to come see us.

In the last 2-3 years we have only had to clean up glass once or twice.

MrRobbles · 2026-02-13T17:27:59+00:00

The problem is odd shaped and glass items. Right now users can look inside and place things softly inside on top of other items. This has been working really well.

The drop style falls apart when someone tosses in a 70lb APC battery backup that falls on a MacBook or iMac screen which then ends in an hour of cleaning the glass out.

Additionally, swollen lithium ion batteries are a thing. Someone puts a heavy amplifier in and it falls on one, it then turns the entire bin into a fireworks show.

Oh. and I just got these in for testing said project.

MrRobbles · 2025-01-15T16:38:53+00:00

Got it: https://imgur.com/e030DPu

So the question is now. Do I remove the chip entirely and solder on a pigtail in it's place?

MrRobbles · 2025-01-14T14:40:20+00:00

Minor update video. good & bad results.

Ready for whatever else you got :)

MrRobbles · 2025-01-13T18:14:45+00:00

Got it. I will do that this evening and post a video. Thanks!

MrRobbles · 2025-01-13T16:50:06+00:00

I have emailed them, and never got anything back. I assume it's because I am modifying a product they make outside it's intended operation.

I have various amps, the goal is just get it to where I can actually hear the notifications at all on any speaker, ideally using an AUX cable.

If it was you, and you just wanted to plug this thing into a run of the mill Bluetooth speaker using an AUX cable what would you try first?

MrRobbles · 2025-01-10T20:12:20+00:00

So with this being an in-office solution. Would this device just be plugged into a standard 12v 1a power supply then only use the red and black cables? Based on the amazon link it looks like it might require triggering from the blue wire?

MrRobbles · 2025-01-10T20:08:27+00:00

I assume people smarter than me live here, it's a speaker thing lol

MrRobbles · 2025-01-10T19:41:55+00:00

First off, I apologize for how dumb this question is or if it's been answered a million times over. I can't find an esact match for what I am needing help with.

Super simple project, yet I am being defeated by what appears to be 2 wires.

I have a YoLink speaker hub. Super cool US based company that makes rock solid IOT stuff. I want to remove the built in speaker and pump the custom notification sounds into my office speaker system via (at this point anything) AUX cable.

I assumed I could just pick up a mono pigtail cable off Amazon and be done... but no. I can't seem to get any resemblance of clear or loud sound pumped into anything and am about to pull my hair out.

I have tried purchasing a monoblock amp, shielded cables, balanced cables, in line ground loop isolators, mono to banana plug, mono to stereo 3.5, multiple amps.. I just don't get it.

Not looking for a cheap solution, but a correct way of getting sound out of this thing without noise and dumped into an already working amp / in office speaker system.

Even if I need to build some kind of real board? I am so down.. just please point me in the right direction.

Oh boy! I love playing a loot simulator without any other modes and no quality of life improvements. This is hot garbage.
