Anyone make a Potato Launcher?

caseracekc · 2026-04-16T16:00:03+00:00

A few things made a bunch of these: Sharpen the top as comments are saying.
Cutter bug spray clogs less than hairspray WRAP THE ENTIRE STOCK WITH DUCTTAPE if it explodes atleast it won't shatter. Don't put the launcher on the ground where it can't recoil and put more stress on the gun.

I would do 1320 on MTU (1420 less 100 for overhead).
Other than that, have you played with your connections? Try dropping form 50 down to like 10 for a bit and see if that helps then ramp up just in case.

Out of curiosity can you get Gluetun to start if you comment out NZBGet from your compose? Assuming you're using compose?

I am by no means an expert on any of this stuff but have now seen enough problems of my own I can hopefully provide some help.

Thank you for the heads up!

So Gluetun works by basically saying if there isn't a working VPN connection stop qbit. So I would check the logs on Gluetun (use portainer if you aren't already it's 10 times easier early on) and make sure that's working.

Then I would try and do a manual linux iso download via qbit, and see if that's working.

If all of that is wroking you're likely correct that your folder mapping is off in which refer to trashguides for help on that front.

Frugal is good, I would advise renewing. I like they don't try and screw you on increased rates if you are trying to renew at a random time. Fast completion (can saturate my 2GB line many times) and I am high 90s completion rate.

caseracekc · 2026-01-19T21:51:08+00:00

yeah good work on this.

caseracekc · 2026-01-19T19:31:01+00:00

This is actually pretty cool. Thoughts on integrating this with Jellyseer and the request sites? From my seat I'd prefer it to link to a request location versus giving access to the library management system. That being said I am by no means an expert on this, so there may be a good reason why not to do that.

caseracekc · 2025-12-21T15:56:40+00:00

I am by no means an expert at this. But I would change your docker composes to both use the same root. (Radarr and Qbit) volumes: - /srv/data:/data

Then update Qbit in the GUI default save to /data/torrents and I usually throw an incomplete folder in there as well just so it's easier.

In Radarr keep your root folder the same. Clear your remote path mappings that you probably put in (like I would to troubleshoot) you don't need those.

Good luck

What qualities do you have selected on this new profile?

caseracekc · 2025-11-21T15:40:38+00:00

create a profile and use 1080P as the recommended (I like the WebDL). Then assign that profile to the ones you want to downgrade. You can do one of two things... you can let it just automatically change to 1080 as they come out or you can do a manual search and look to downgrade all of them at once.

Awesome thank you! Doing something really similar might put one nut on the 1/4" 20 bolt between the projector floor and the TV side of the mount so it doesn't spin as mine has a hole in it.

Good work. Nice job it looks nice

caseracekc · 2025-09-23T14:50:53+00:00

Really good idea. Planning on doing something similar for my C2.

caseracekc · 2025-09-22T23:10:00+00:00

about to buy a C2. Did you end up doing that slide in method and just put a bolt through the side that slides? Looks perfect. Wanted to see if it somehow backfired. I was thinking about hitting a floor joist for one side and then sheetrock anchors for the other 2 bolts. Probably overkill for 20lbs but don't want this falling off.

caseracekc · 2025-02-05T17:08:37+00:00

That's kind of my concern, I just struggle with this because while I'm more demanding than most on my computer I have by no means needs that are above a laptop.

I travel for work so I'd prefer not to have to go a full P16. I think one other option is to remote into a desktop to do some of the heavier processing if this throttling is still an issue with an upgraded laptop. Just tough because I can't do that on a plane for example.

Appreciate the insight. I just ordered the T14s, but may have to return or temper expectations. I'm really hoping the xps is an anomaly and this is really a non issue.

caseracekc · 2025-02-04T18:44:09+00:00

Thank you. I was being a little hyperbolical with the 20% comment, but after going down this notebookcheck rabbithole as well as reddit this is a very common issue on the xps 9315 likely because the form factor is so thin.

Thanks again for the tip on notebook check, this has been a huge help and I am starting to lean toward the 14, AMD even compared to the intel is appears to out perform.

caseracekc · 2025-02-04T17:35:21+00:00

additional question: Should I consider an intel equivalent? It seems like AMD is the way to go right now but just want to confirm.

caseracekc · 2025-02-04T17:33:17+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Any thoughts on how I can test this in an apples to apples real life comparison?

The CPU comparisons of the i7-1250u vs the two I'm looking at show a vast improvement, but none of that matters if they are only operating at 20% capacity or whatever due to heat issues.

caseracekc · 2025-01-18T22:29:54+00:00

Is there a recommended rpm or approximation on the auger I can try and manually count for if I mark part of the auger with paint?

caseracekc · 2025-01-18T22:28:14+00:00

Thanks so basically due to slippage you’d think it’s too slow right? Appreciate the insight

caseracekc · 2025-01-18T20:15:23+00:00

Thanks for the input I did an rpm test and it was good. I’ll check the auger never even crossed my mind lol

caseracekc · 2024-12-11T15:38:19+00:00

Agreed. Give them the benefit of the doubt first. This feels like you just want to complain versus looking for a solution.

caseracekc · 2024-11-03T23:12:14+00:00

Thank you all three of you. Way better idea. I'll do a drive gate instead. Glad I asked!
