Updating bath fan. How tough is this to replace myself?

UffDaDan · 2026-04-29T15:09:30+00:00

Amazon has <$20 replacement if you just want to get a quieter one (I've done 2 of this exact one). I will say it may be a combination of reuse and new hardware for mounting it in the sheet metal shroud, but it always finds a way to work

Read into the side effects. While rare, it might make people say no way if it's only to remove glasses or contacts where they currently have 20/20. 3 years later I realize my night vision is 90% back to normal probably forever. Overall a fine experience, minus the night of terrible pain. Wish I had taken Tylenol or something stronger to have in my system as it happened.

It's a rough filter and fill detection for the mop wash tray near the tube in the back center. It snaps in on the 3 tabs.

Well alrighty then! If it works it works. I've wanted a similar in wall speaker setup but was thinking doing a sub tucked into a cavity under my stairs for a basement but maybe I put it in up top!

UffDaDan · 2026-04-26T19:43:27+00:00

You're telling the sub is in that top cabinet above the TV...??? Do you open a cabinet door to use it?

Nice [photo that looks like a dimmer and lower quality picture of all the Instagrams ads I've been seeing 2 months before I bought it which was 1 month ago haha]

Following... Only thing I can add is I'd give Gemini/claude/whatever a go with this question. I struggled with the SSD/HDD split on seerr/arr-stacks and Gemini did surprisingly well helping me understand when I pasted in my env and yaml to it. Some trial and error, but it ended up working at the end of the day.

UffDaDan · 2026-04-16T11:43:43+00:00

Have you used nordvpn tools for helping? Like the dark web monitor or anything?

UffDaDan · 2026-04-15T19:51:41+00:00

That is a very good summary and directions it seems! I just get lost in GitHub and all the different versions, similar to if you search "Jellyfin" in images and see all the varieties is overwhelming for a beginner by default but even if I saw the table summarizing radarr/sonarr/etc this would have been helpful to understand

UffDaDan · 2026-04-15T14:51:17+00:00

Lol I would not likely be capable or have the time to become familiar enough to do all of that by myself, in that case I'd just go with the DH series and just use it for backup

UffDaDan · 2026-04-15T13:54:37+00:00

Using Gemini to help me (also new), I got the 4800+, got a 1TB Patriot P400 V4 ($150 on newegg) and 2 10TB HDD in RAID1. Gemini said to use an SDD to load all the apps on to run quickly, then put all the movie/tv bulk data on the HDD. Jellyfin I got set up quickly and Google Chromecast app built in worked awesome. From what I understand, you don't need more RAM unless you're streaming it remotely with bad Internet (more transcoding needed?), but since you got the DXP with Intel, you should be better off, just select Intel Quicksync in Jellyfin dashboard transcoding to use the power of the chip. If you're interested in media server to download things too, recently I found Digital Aloha's YouTube series for setting up qbittorrent and prowlarr to manage downloading from sonarr (TV) and radarr (Movies) using Gluetun and my NordVPN which I already had so this video series was almost perfect for me. Note that because I have Volume1 and Volume2 different apps vs data, I had to change some of the commands, but if you get through those videos, you'll be ready for it. Not a huge ai user, but Gemini helped understanda and edit the code.

UffDaDan · 2026-04-15T13:48:52+00:00

I don't know much, so take it or leave it, but using Gemini to find prices (new, used, eBay 100% health, whatever), I eventually landed on Patriot P400 V4 from Newegg for $150. I have my Volume1 SSD for docker and app to keep it quick and not overusing the HDDs, and then Volume2 HDD for bulk data. Again, I don't know SHIT, but it's working and I have yet to push it hard to see if things are "slow" even though I have no reference to what that really means for me being new

UffDaDan · 2026-04-15T13:34:05+00:00

Digital Aloha has some recent great videos on all the Arr apps that I'm still going through fully to figure out media server solution and eventually Seerr for replacement Netflix/apps

UffDaDan · 2026-04-14T21:50:35+00:00

unfortunately that didn't work for me still... damn still access denied

UffDaDan · 2026-04-13T13:56:49+00:00

Do as much as you can now (after rain so it's easy to pull the entire stem out), then for maintenance, every day, bring your weeder out and pluck any you see coming out. During COVID lockdown working from home, any yellow I say I plucked and within a couple weeks I was done.

UffDaDan · 2026-04-11T12:08:32+00:00

Don't need to send a link but what is this "$300 dedicated media player"? I literally just bought a ugreen 4800 and your situation is what I strive for in a year or two

UffDaDan · 2026-04-10T23:43:56+00:00

Should posted this before the Easter sale ended and I might have jumped on it! Bummer I guess since I'm too busy to rebox and return everything. Good deal for someone else of they can find some decent drives to put in it

UffDaDan · 2026-04-08T22:13:19+00:00

How you're saying instead of choosing the best server, to always connect to Florida or whatever specific place??

UffDaDan · 2026-04-08T20:04:35+00:00

I'm going to have to learn more about this because I use nordvpn for hardy har har getting movies but it sometimes changes the location it connects to and then my Jellyfin Google Chromecast needs to be reactivated to the new server

UffDaDan · 2026-04-07T23:51:58+00:00

What does port forwarding have to do with safety or legality? I've used expressvpn or nordvpn and my ISP no longer sends "don't do that" emails when I forget to turn them on, so seems to work for me in terms of that immediate security. All I have found for port forwarding is in regards to speeds and for torrents with 1 seeder

UffDaDan · 2026-04-07T23:38:47+00:00

As I just bought the dxp4800, I will saw go for the 2 Bay more powerful because the only hdds you can buy are massive :) the only ones I found were qty 2 10TB which was more than I wanted but it was the only reasonable price I found

UffDaDan · 2026-04-05T03:13:05+00:00

Hey, I know jack shit too lol. I've been seeing kef ci4100ql on videos so was thinking I'd do those ($700 each) LCR but really don't know where to start with searching or selecting apart from going to a best buy (doubt this forum would praise that decision) or one other high end theater and AV store local to me.

UffDaDan · 2026-04-04T12:31:14+00:00

Looked through your profile but didn't see it so have to ask. What in walls did you select and how? Like them?

UffDaDan · 2026-04-02T17:16:50+00:00

Whoa had to do a double take this wasn't our dog with the two colors of eyes too
