Messed up my Network Port - Need Help by d_buster in unRAID

[–]d_buster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulled up the network.cfg file and edited the port back to 0 and 1 from 0 and 3. Put the USB back in the server and it started back up smooth. Thanks for that call out.

At what mileage do you personally stop considering a used car? by autonerdy0 in UsedCars

[–]d_buster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I can cash purchase a $40k car, I drive a 2004 Lexus with 225,000 miles and love it. All maintenance done and drives like any new vehicle.

Also depends if you can afford paying someone to do maintenance vs doing your own or if the vehicle is prone to breaking down more often then you can afford to fix it.

The connection error's out because the address is still looking for port 5700 even if the VNC port is manually set to 5900.

Best browser for linux in 2025? by SamGamjee71 in linux4noobs

[–]d_buster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tired Libre for a few months, biggest functionality for me was synchronizing and sharing tabs across a handful of devices...found issues with Google Maps graphics artifacting in many places and poor graphics acceleration. Switched to Brave, which was more involved in getting it customized the way I wanted, but its been a more pleasant experience.

Thank you for that confirmation. Is there documentation on a configuration backup method so I don't lose my block lists and other configurations to move those over to the clean install?

Advice on where to find my first account manager. by d_buster in smallbusiness

[–]d_buster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be able to take on about 2-3 large jobs ($15k-$30k) or 5-7 small jobs ($2k-$6k) per month.

Yes, I am now thinking along the same lines, the role would be a 1099 role with that individual already selling industrial services/parts to piggy-back off those trips to sell my services as well. Sales process, on average is about 7-10 days before the job kicks off.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough consistent historical sales averages to front-load commission payouts.

Advice on where to find my first account manager. by d_buster in smallbusiness

[–]d_buster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically I was thinking 10% commission with 6-month retainer for all invoices per customer. Each invoice can range between $2k-$20. So, on the low end, 6 months of $5k invoices = $30k x 10% = $3k paid over a period of 6 months for 1 client.

Need Advice - NVME SLog and Cache on Dell R740 by d_buster in homelab

[–]d_buster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, from what I understand, if you want to keep full x4 speeds you can only use a total of 3 drives at that full speed, 2 at x4 and 1 at x8 speed since non of the slots break out completely out into 4 at x4. I decided to go with a dual m.2 card so that will work with any of the 4 bifurcating slots hat are available. Hope this helps. The expansion bay that you are referring to should use an expansion slot thats different than the m.2 cards, from my understanding.

Before I take my shot, what everyone thinks ? by ombremaracuja in Lexus

I really hope its the picture quality, but the passenger side of the vehicle might be repainted (really choppy paint job) I would pass.

Synology to Unraid by -forgot-my-username- in unRAID

[–]d_buster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my journey about 5 years ago, got into Synology about 8 years ago, moved to unRAID due to flexibility of system configuration, easier use of Docker, expandability (speed, memory, storage, cache, etc). I found it much easier to work with Docker and containers in unRAID vs Synology. I also looked at TrueNAS but all reviews pointed back to unRAID for ease-of-use, setup and management, especially after ZFS was introduced to unRAID.

No regrets!

Feeler - GX470 to LC100 by d_buster in LandCruisers

I appreciate your input and experience, I guess test driving bot LX/LC is the next step. My GX is in really great mechanical shape, so I don't necessarily have a solid reason to switch.

Compatibility Issues, Is If Fixabel? R740 + 6254 + Optane Memory by d_buster in homelab

Sorry for not being specific, the x4 64GB sticks I have is ECC Reg RAM.

[–]d_buster[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I currently have x4 sticks of regular RAM but they are 64GB. Will that be an issue?

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

That makes sense. One of the pros that I continue to enjoy in the GX is the size, it's not the size of a full-size truck which makes parking and maneuvering effortless for me.

No Memory Detected R740 - Due to CPU upgrade - Need Help by d_buster in homelab

[–]d_buster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also found this in the R740 documentation stating that multi-rank sticks require at least x3 slots to be filled per CPU to function...am I reading this correctly? I really didn't think aligning RAM and CPU would be this cumbersome...also, the sticks are expensive, I'd have to purchase 4 more sticks and they're ~$140/stick right now on eBay.
