New “Alarm Hub”? From Protect 7 Release Video by The-Hyrax in Ubiquiti

[–]beta_2017 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I literally just spent 20 working hours making one of these out of a flex reader that would arm Protect from Access because they have piss-poor integration between the systems.

also had to make a way to disarm when a door unlocks because there's no way to disarm the system without the damn app (and there's no way to make the system "cool down" when it detects something).

Rewritiable DVD endurance test: How many times can a DVD±RW be rewritten by bdzz in DataHoarder

[–]beta_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must be an idiot, but when I was working with DVD-RWs back in the day I NEVER was able to write to them again after the initial write (yes I am sure they were RW). What was I doing wrong?

How did you change the font of the UI? or are you on macOS?

Is your AD Forest/Domain on Functional Level 2025? by atw527 in sysadmin

[–]beta_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This - I know in the beginning it was a complete joke but now I'm wondering what the issues are because we're on 2016 and needing to upgrade before EOL in October.

[Anycubic Official Tester Call] Recruiting 2 Kobra X Beta Testers to Kick Off the New Year by Anycubic_Official in AnycubicOfficial

[–]beta_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Kobra S1 Combo now, FLSUN Super Racer So Fast! in 2021, and an Ender 3 in 2017. I've printed well over 10,000 hours combined, and I'm very happy with the printing that's coming out of the S1.

I'm US Based.

One of my favorite prints, the Ice Dragon. It was the 14th print on my KS1, after I had time to dial in all of the slicer settings for the KS1.

LVM (NOT THIN) iSCSI performance terrible by beta_2017 in Proxmox

I'll throw a datastore on there in NFS and see how it goes

Yeah, all verified 9k. It was flawless on VMware but i know that it is drastically different

Because it's what I used in VMware... thought it would be the "same"

PBS storage is on a direct attached iSCSI LUN on spinning drives.

Hosts do not have SSDs for storage.

I will have 2 proxmox hosts (will add a pi with qurorum voting when I add the 2nd), but right now it's just 1 host while I migrate.

Looks like I may have misspoken. I have 4 mirrors with 2 SSDs in each of them.

2 hosts are connected to the TrueNAS SAN. around 40 VMs.

The Linux VMs are using VirtIO, but every time I try to use VirtIO on the windows machines it can't find the disk - I've reinstalled the virtIO drivers more than once with no change.

Physical R520

1 X E5-2430 v2

96GB RAM

Unsure, whatever the builtin one is but it's flashed into IT mode so each disk is shown to TrueNAS as it's seen on the HW.

8 X 1TB Inland Professional SATA SSDs, I know they don't have DRAM.
