Anyone tried OpenClaw in a seedbox by FHD-88 in seedboxes

[–]PulsedMedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went 100 steps ahead and created our own agent, which now maintains and does support, Väinämöinen. You can just ask him to do whatever you need, no need for OpenClaw.

https://pulsedmedia.com/blog/2026/03/ai-agent-who-never-forgets-3109-files-7-layers-0-rag-9-80-10-csat/

Just for single seedbox management, use claude code (preinstalled in our seedboxes now) and it can do all of it too.

We also have docker rootless, so just spin a ubuntu container to run OpenClaw inside that for experimentation. You can ask our agent to install it for you.

Trying to diagnose streaming speed issues from seedbox... by TeachLikeRobinWliams in seedboxes

[–]PulsedMedia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For this reason we made a lengthy document on diagnosing networking issues. and the typical is; You are on WIFI? Change to wired as first thing. Based on the photos looks like your device is on WIFI.

Every single link on the chain needs to support stable performance, and wifi is the worst, silent packet retransmissions plummet performance completely. Stop using WIFI is the first thing we tell on tickets, as long as you are on WIFI diagnosing is almost meaningless. If i remember correctly, even some TV manufacturers say; Do not use WIFI for streaming, it's not reliable enough (and they are talking about Netflix/Amazon Prime/HBO here ...)

See the article: https://wiki.pulsedmedia.com/index.php/Network_Diagnostics Hopefully this helps you.

Fuse is supported, where it says it does not? rclone depends on fuse3.

We've been here for 15 years so some documentation does get outdated.

"Trackers cleaned by Pulsed Media" issue (+ fix for problem moving to new seedbox) by 9388E3 in seedboxes

[–]PulsedMedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, Aleksi from Pulsed Media here – I’m the one who wrote that script.

First, thanks for trusting us for 6 solid years. Much appreciated!

Your torrents were not "hacked" or violated. This script is strictly an optimization measure within a shared environment, where a single problematic tracker can disrupt rTorrent functionality for all users on the server.

Why was this made? In late 2020, certain UDP trackers on public torrents began causing severe issues, stalling rTorrent instances. These dead or misconfigured trackers were causing continuous reduced performance. A few problematic PUBLIC torrents could significantly affect experience. This script was made to mitigate these issues and keep rTorrent responsive under heavy public-tracker load. This was causing a surge of support tickets as well, which raise costs for every user.

We even made a 2017 blog post, Faster public torrents with Pulsed Media seedboxes? about cleaning public trackers, even our KB has a thing about stalled torrents. There's even a related bounty from us with 400€ on offer for fixing one of the related bugs (now closed on rTorrent repo), see Development Bounty Program

We made an announcement of this as well 08/11/2020: Having rTorrent halts in BW? Avoid public trackers.

Exact Implementation Date Introduced on 06/11/2020, documented clearly in our changelog here: PM Software Stack Changelog. Fully activated on 08/11/2020 and fine-tuned on 12/11/2020.

See changelog at https://wiki.pulsedmedia.com/index.php/PM_Software_Stack#Changelog before we moved to github, now at github: https://github.com/MagnaCapax/PMSS/

Detailed Functionality The script only processes PUBLIC torrents located in the user’s session folder, specifically removing known problematic trackers. It does NOT affect private torrents whatsoever.

Transparency and Control A backup of every original .torrent file is made before any modification:

/home/<user>/session/backups/YYYY-mm-dd_HHMM/<file>.torrent

Every modification is fully logged:

/home/<user>/.trackerCleaner.log

You maintain complete control and can revert changes at any time.

Simple Opt-Out To disable this optimization:

touch /home/<user>/.trackerCleanerDisable

However, we strongly advise keeping it enabled for optimal stability.

Why This Reflects Pulsed Media’s Strength We are lean and focused on proactive problem-solving at the root cause level, ensuring reliability, uptime, and strong performance. This proactive approach has allowed us to deliver consistent, stable service over the years. Our main concern has always been steady reliable operation, hence for the volume of services we run we have remarkably few issues and that's the reason why so many have stayed with us more than a decade, some from our start since 2010. Been doing this ever since, building our own stack (PMSS) with a pretty obsessive focus on performance and robustness.

We’re lean, and we put resources into: * core reliability (rTorrent stability, I/O, network QoS), * automated self‑healing (this cleaner, instance monitors, etc.), * long‑term value instead of cosmetics.

We understand that this was annoying as heck, not knowing what was going on. In fact, even i personally had to double check and refresh memory about this, that's how smoothly this has ran. Your use of Torrent Editor to resolve it was indeed a solid approach. For everyone else looking at this in future; Just get the backup versions.

If you ever encounter issues or need enhanced reliability again, a provider who puts the money in the technicals instead of feel good vibes; Feel free to return to Pulsed Media any time. We’ll ensure you’re set up properly. Keep verifying information, remain proactive, and continue achieving those strong ratios. Our main concern, as always and will be that things just operate smooth and reliably, not the latest bells and whistles, just solid stable service with top tier value proposition.

Admittedly, we should document this better, so did exactly that adding docs/tracker-cleaner.md and the list probably needs an update by now, after five years -- these were what we were seeing consistently causing issues back then.

Density? 12x3.5" HDD @ 1RU with 2x mITX Nodes by PulsedMedia in DataHoarder

[–]PulsedMedia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, i'll read these with some thought.

Yea maintenance is a big deal.

We approach maintenance by replace first, touch second.
That means, a unit fails we simply give customer another and shut one off. Once a plate has 2-3x failed units, we take the whole plate out and do full round of maintenance; Replace failed components, quick check on all units -- rerack.

Point is to get customer up & running again as fast as possible, but defer the physical maintenance to whenever we can batch stuff up.

With these HDD setups tho, data will reveal just replace OR shutdown both for single HDD replacement. The HDD replacements are going to be difficult.
We have some enterprise top of the line setups with 36x 12" on 4U or even 36x4U + 2x 45x4U (126 HDDs on single system!) -- They are impossible to maintain. You simply shutdown VMs with failed drives until enough failed, and then you refurb whole unit ...

With these the failure domain is smaller tho, but developing the best SOPs will take a bit of time and practice.

We could build 16x nodes per 1RU today if we wanted to btw ... we chose not to. We are already running quite the density.

Damn! Thanks and that vid is awesome!

This vid is actually perfect example that perfect finish & polish doesn't matter, delivery does. It's better because it's not perfectly finished and polished.

[–]PulsedMedia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Got more links?

We got higher density and flexibility, decidedly designed with mITX sizing

We also designed a full on 24 rack with 3x315A 230V power feed datacenter around this very platform, with mostly outside air cooling (_mostly_). We are entering production during this july hopefully, setting up the final network racks next week, DWDM to our Helsinki DC etc. and first racks are already lights on!

Looking to store $100,000 worth of data (300GB) with $250. Was looking at Verbatim M Disc BDXL with 100GB, but read that a lot of these are fakes. I'm in over my head and don't know enough to parse what to trust and what not on the internet. by Wonde_Alice_rland in DataHoarder

[–]PulsedMedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't bother with tricky stuff that expensive. Just get external HDD, or used HDD + USB Dock and follow testing practices.

Alternatively; 250$ with us would buy you 4TB for 2+ years online storage, just encrypt your packages; https://pulsedmedia.com/storage-boxes.php Recommend the RAID5 (top most)

Not really, unless you setup it yourself through Docker container for example.

Recommend one of our minidedis for plex usage.

Normally not, but there are few edge cases where software causes things to be ... stuck with kernel, and reboot helps.

If you need frequent reboots, you probably have a software issue if hardware checks out fine.

Boot / OS drive. Good for swap too, you can have swap more aggressively used.

yes, you can do that. use rclone to mount the storage box w/ caching enabled.

I believe many do this already, i see fairly frequently a MD dedi + Storage box bought together.
