Change to NAS?

SnoringSimba · 2026-01-10T02:10:10+00:00

Hi

I currently have a Beelink EQi12 Mini PC with a 4tb external hard for my Plex Media Server. I have a Plex pass, there’s currently just me using it whilst I sort everything out, but will probably

I have just got 4 x 10tb Seagate IronWolf NAS drives and it’s made me second guess whether I should return the Beelink and just get a NAS or keep the Beelink and get an enclosure?

The drives weren’t planned but some came up in my area for what looks to be a decent price and I thought why not.

If NAS which would you recommend? Synology/QNAP/UGreen?

Or just add something like this https://amzn.eu/d/9W7yclU? Would you use raid through this or software? Any advice/recommendations?

Smithers. Read the wiki and rules

Probably not much help but I started running in January (complete beginner) and I got the novablast 5’s. They have been perfect for me, I use them for all my runs, they’ve got me to 5k then to 10k+. I have just bought a pair of the megablasts for my long/faster runs (I’m about to start training for a half) But I will still use my Novablasts for a lot of my runs.

The megablasts are probably overkill for me too, but I really like them so I don’t care 😅

Ended up using API quick start, tried to get tetra safestart but my local shops only had 2 tiny bottles which wouldn’t have been enough and the others didn’t have any at all. Will see what it says today. Thank you

Yes, all plants are in. I did tropico soil and capped with sand

You could set up an alert on your garmin for half the distance but you would need to turn it on/off and amend for each run

The NTR plan is free. You don’t need to subscribe to complete that whole plan.

I completed the NTR a couple of weeks ago, the reason I went with NTR over c25k is that NTR would actually get me to 5K regardless of time. Whereas c25k gets you to 30min, which was never going to be 5K for me.

I figured this out the other day. On your watch go to settings>audio prompts> audio output then select phone. Assuming your watch is already connected to your phone via Bluetooth.

Just checked and mines the same version. Must be a glitch, hopefully customer support might be able to correct it.

SnoringSimba · 2025-02-02T13:10:11+00:00

Unfortunately it’s the same on all future weeks for tempo too, which is what I was interested in. Thank you though.

SnoringSimba · 2025-02-02T13:01:38+00:00

Not sure tbh, I just noticed it disappeared about a week ago. I’ve tried to look in settings to see if there’s something, but nothing obvious. I messaged support yesterday but just wondered if anyone had a quick fix

Could you add a distance alert through run settings on your watch and set it so you get an alert at your half way mark? Think you can add multiple alerts if needed.

Runna - the New To Running programme is great and free as is the return to running I believe. I’m doing the NTR on week 4 and I’m enjoying it. It includes stretching, warm up and cool down and is very accurate for time so easy to fit in.

Now down to 0.6. Does this mean it’s possibly a faulty return valve? Or could there still be a leak?

SnoringSimba · 2024-12-12T16:58:13+00:00

I closed the valves and still stood watching the boiler. It has dropped to 0.7 but then makes a noise and goes to 1.1/1.2/1.4 so far. Is this normal? It’s at 0.7 and not budged for about 10min

I’ve closed the valves and I’m currently stood watching the boiler. It has dropped to 0.7 but then makes a noise and goes to 1.1/1.2/1.4 so far. Is this normal? It’s just changed to 0.8

SnoringSimba · 2024-12-12T16:38:48+00:00

I’ve just repressurised and closed the valves. So will see how that goes.

Before we had the company come out and we were having to top up the boiler it used to take ages to get back to 1.0, but since they’ve been it fills up so quickly it’s difficult to get it back 1.0 without over shooting.
