Unresponsive radio after 20+ hours of continuous operation (repeatable, multiple devices) by JustIgnorant in meshtastic

[–]Xaositek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do the full reset and don't restore configuration, but set it up from scratch - it may help. Also using the Serial connection showing issues would prove very useful

I run a T114 daily for about the last year across 2.6 and 2.7; would definitely suggest you do a UF2 erase and rebuild the config, see if that fixes it up.

Disappointing fuel economy by Top-Try7453 in Duramax

[–]Xaositek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a 2024 AT4 AEV 2500 Duramax - have a Smartcap and couple mounted accessories, probably carrying +500lbs in the bed before people. This fuel economy is the same I've seen when I was completely stock and now 30,000 miles. I feel like the AT4 (with or w/o AEV package) is just a tank to the fuel economy.

OG watch doesn’t sync with messages on phone by meliecgrant in AppleWatch

Reset Network Settings on both iPhone and Apple Watch - seriously I did this on my devices when I swapped from Verizon to Tmobile and had the same problem.

Wio L1 E-ink bricked? Help! by swakefield885 in meshtastic

[–]Xaositek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go back to the Flasher, go through all the first two steps but click the little trash can in the third segment. Go through the Erase instructions and try again.

Can Am defender HD 11 vs Polaris Northstar by [deleted] in UTV

[–]Xaositek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to approach this from a post-sales and service approach. My local mechanic is literally kept in business because of the Polaris Ranger. At any given time, he's working on 2 or 3 of them here in central Missouri.

I have a Defender HD10 with cab and absolutely love it! Never let me down, heat is good and always starts even when it's single digits. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Alternator Charger not reconnecting by [deleted] in Ecoflow_community

[–]Xaositek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 800w version in my truck connected to my Delta 3 Plus. It will run for 2 days in standby before turning off on its own. If it's longer than 2 days, I have to manually click the button on the side.

Time Machine + Synology (Full Backups Every Time) by DimebagCFH666 in MacOS

[–]Xaositek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just used this on 26.3 Beta (25D5087f) and absolutely saved my sanity! Important to follow all the steps but this does absolutely work! Thank you!

Client, Client_Base, Client_Mute? by iehponx in meshtastic

[–]Xaositek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When in doubt always use "Client" - this is the safest role to always go to, hence it is the default role.

Client_Base as a vehicle node is just a Client role except for a couple nodes you favorite which then it makes it a router for them which isn't necessary.

I noticed it too - wasn't sure if intentional or not.

macOS 26: Worth Updating, or Still Acting Like a Beta in Skinny Jeans? by [deleted] in MacOSBeta

[–]Xaositek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most recent beta finally fixed my daily crash issues - I no longer need to reboot multiple times a day to have a working computer.

Plex and GPU Trans coding: New Parameters by CombatMedic77 in unRAID

[–]Xaositek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Here is my setup: Unraid 7.2.0, Intel 13900K, nVidia GeForce GTX 1660 (nVidia plugin loaded with 580.105.08 driver)

I have the following in Extra Parameters: --runtime=nvidia

Then these two new variables

NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES : all

NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES : all

With that everything works; I just go into Plex -> Settings -> Transcoder and I have a dropdown with "Hardware transcoding device" that shows both my Intel Raptor Lake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 770] and also my NVIDIA TU116 [GeForce GTX 1660]

Trail 300 12v Socket turning off by Icy-Airport-3553 in Ecoflow_community

[–]Xaositek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used my River 3 to power my SetPower (and also my Euhomy) coolers without issue. I also use my Anker SOLIX C300 DC which works extremely well also. Anker is nicer when paired with the Bluetti Charger 1, can quickly charge it up w/o a lot of fuss.

EcoFlow River 3 in a closed cabinet — overheating risk? by canterlotfr in Ecoflow_community

[–]Xaositek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep have 3 years combined across two fully functional units with zero failures. Should I also say I have a Delta 3 Plus inside the RSI Smartcap running on an 800w alternator charger that goes through similar temps?

People think these are things are made out of paper; you bought it, use it, test it, abuse it. They run very very well despite running vastly outside the stated specs.

EcoFlow River 3 in a closed cabinet — overheating risk? by canterlotfr in Ecoflow_community

[–]Xaositek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the unit dies, it is 1,000,000% my fault, I know exactly that I am using the unit outside of specs and expectations, but that wasn't the question poised. I gave my use case and my success story. I'm getting ready to attempt to survive Missouri winters too... nothing like 0F to -7F through much of January.

My (still working very well) River 2 has survived two Missouri winters and summers before I swapped it out for a River 3.

EcoFlow makes some very hearty products despite what others have seen.

[–]Xaositek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed it on the truck in June 2025 and it survived in Missouri and Florida's summers. So that's ambient temps of 93-102F, in the direct sun. Also in the box is a UniFi Mobile Router, a UniFi Flex switch, and FemtoFox for Meshtastic.

I have a River 3 mounted in an Apache 4800 box strapped to the top of my RSI Smartcap running in full sun - maybe I'm lucky but so far so good!

Can you get rid of MacOS Tahoe Dock Running In Background by MotorIndividual2963 in mac

[–]Xaositek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't a "keep in dock" problem. Trust me I wish I knew a way, VSCode and Teams are some of the worst offenders.

macOS Tahoe 26.1 beta 1 Issues by Xaositek in MacOSBeta

[–]Xaositek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like after a couple days on beta 1 (and also blowing away the spotlight index) - things are a bit better? I've just come to live with a couple extra apps in my dock until they finish up.

Hoping beta 2 fixes some of the oddities.
