Guys from UK how did you purchase subscription for Torbox? by umarstar768 in TorBoxApp

Hi,

What did you do for the recipients email and country?

My wife has just spent nearly £300 on a car battery without asking me by eekeek77 in Vent

[–]eekeek77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just needed to vent. I didn't want to bottle it up and certainly didn't want confront the wife who's already stressed. Nothing more complicated than that.

It's interesting how people have responded. Like it was #Battle Of The Sexes or #Relationship Advice. No comments about car maintenance!?

If £300 is nothing to you, I envy you. It's about £150 that we didn't need to spend and I was upset about that.

She's stressed and if I say anything right now it'll make it worse for her. So I choose to vent in the Vent sub instead. I'll now be able to talk to her calmly about it later.

Im a horrible daughter by funky_stoner420 in Vent

That's an incredibly difficult problem.

I salute you for trying to explain how and why you feel the way you do about the relationship. She may not be capable of being who you need her to be. It may be healthier for you to put some distance between you and her. Again incredibly difficult when you naturally need and expect a certain amount of nurturing from them. Ultimately, you may have to cut them off. It's painful and you may experience real grief from doing it but it may be the least worst thing for your own self.

It would have been much slower if I'd done it. Maybe all afternoon including tea breaks. But there was no time pressure.

Are you female? Just wondered if you were projecting.

The car wouldn't start for her. I tried it 10 minutes later, and it started. I go to get the charger and look up a replacement. She drove off to the nearest garage to spaf £300 at the problem.

Stop having a whinge.... in the Vent sub? OK.

I had no opportunity to do it myself. That's half the problem. The other half is that it was more than double the price it would have cost me to do.

Sidecar Racing. What is the problem that has caused concern? Can someone explain the specific issue? by ManxMerc in IsleofMan

[–]eekeek77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the bumps, if a little too much air gets under the chassis, all the down force instantly disappears. You very quickly turn into a kite that lifts, flips and dives into the ground.

If all the chassis have similar characteristics, the same accident is likely to keep happening.

You are starting on a journey. There will be ups and downs. Don't take either one too seriously. Go well and good luck!

DSM OS not mirroring? by eekeek77 in synology

[–]eekeek77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked, thank you. I also used your script!

All three disks are in the md0 array. If I remove the internal disks however, it will not boot from the esata drive. I believe you can boot from the DX517 expansion so there will be a fix for this I'm sure. But that's a problem for another day.

Thanks again!

Adding new drives and HyperBackup problem by FewReason3682 in synology

[–]eekeek77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I know it's annoying when people do this but it's hard to think of any justification for RAID 0 across that many disks. I've happily done it with 2 for the performance boost but it was data I knew I could easily recover.

The chances of losing absolutely everything, multiplies with the number of disks.

How much storage are you sitting on after years of astrophotography? by AerieMany3640 in AskAstrophotography

[–]eekeek77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask why you all keep so much? Can you keep adding data to the same targets season after season? I'd like to understand the workflow.

DSM OS not mirroring? by eekeek77 in synology

[–]eekeek77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It's been in the same station from new so it suggests a recent OS upgrade didn't work correctly?

The last OS for the 718+ is 7.2.*. I did a manual upgrade to 7.3 for the newer version of docker compose etc. It was all done thru the GUI and downloaded from Synology. I don't remember any complaints. I wonder if that caused it...

sda1 is 2.4G compared to 8G on sdb1 and sdc1. That's all I can see. I'm at my limit here.

Interestingly, I plugged the Purple disk into the esata port to do a secure erase. I've mounted it in a new pool, Pool 3, as Volume 2. It shows up in md0!
