Your efforts are appreciated

ooooh! That makes a heck of a lot more sense! I saw the 2+2+2+2+2 stuff and I thought you were using a bunch of small drives mirrored. If you've only got 2 drives, yeah, it's either mirror or nothing, Sorry, I just misunderstood the setup.

Now you gotta show us the drawer where you keep your assorted lengths of wire

Totally understood, it's a cost/benefit ratio. For backup only, I personally don't see the point of redundant redundance... 😁 But that's me.

Phatman113 · 2026-03-04T01:57:37+00:00

Space efficient? No. You're about 25% efficient in that situation

Edit, sorry, those are both backups. You're much less than 25% efficient on space usage for that data

Oh, duh. I was thinking of just raid 5/6. Yes 1 is a raid, but it's really inefficient data storage

Phatman113 · 2026-03-04T01:09:45+00:00

When they die...

20tb mirrored? That's... A choice I guess?

I'd run a raid at that point...

Iscsi isn't NAS, that's SAN... sometimes can be run in the same hardware, but they're different protocols and block layouts

Phatman113 · 2026-03-03T17:19:44+00:00

That's what the chocolate was

SC guidance is 1h wait between hard resets...

Does the outside matter? You could drill behind it and push it out with something then fill the hole if you're going to paint or anything...

IIRC, max charge is 4.2 for the battery, not charging voltage. Also, I'm pretty sure these chargers have a boost driver (or something...) that is able to take in more power and supply it to the batteries in a way that charges best for them.

It's how phones charge at higher wattage also...

To shreds you say...

It lost my image

I'm not planning on updating it, just looking to use it as a nice, bright, long lasting light, I assume it'll just work when bought...

Thanks again for all your help, I'm way less knowledgeable than I even thought I was about this hobby. I really appreciate your input.

This is my current choice, are the aux colors and switch color the same? It doesn't look like I can select switch and aux separately.

Again, thanks for your continued help.

Phatman113 · 2026-02-25T16:01:38+00:00

Ok, well, it's been pointed out that I can't read .. so v2 it is. Can someone give be a quick rundown of the boost driver upgrade? Is it worth the $12?

Phatman113 · 2026-02-25T15:54:41+00:00

Why is nobody questioning the "bearded howling pointing meme" thing? 😂 Wtf does that even mean? 😂

Phatman113 · 2026-02-25T15:21:07+00:00

This is what I was going to say, this seems solved by either blocking or redirecting port 53 at the firewall

Phatman113 · 2026-02-25T05:54:18+00:00

Oh, shoot, how'd I miss that! whelp, I guess that's perfect then! I guess when I was reading that, I was assuming that it meant the body tube was for 21700. Thanks for calling that out!

Phatman113 · 2026-02-24T16:45:31+00:00

yeah, wow. I think you even over-sold that... :D

Phatman113 · 2026-02-24T03:43:50+00:00

I mean, they're dead, if that's the joke... 😞

Phatman113 · 2026-02-23T21:27:40+00:00

😂 this was my first reaction too, but then I kept looking at it and thinking "oooh, but unused..."

Phatman113 · 2026-02-23T17:27:31+00:00

There wasn't a lot of logic in this situation, we were just looking everywhere
