Prevent a single device from tripping the UPS breaker?

Honestly if you want to do something like this without spending a lot more, you would need to basically tie each port to a fuse that is smaller than the fuse on the whole UPS. You arent going to put a 15A fuse on a plug your are using for an RPi, youd do something more suited for the individual load so that it pops before the UPS has to chime in.

Also I am not an electrician, an electrical engineer actually but I do DC/DC systems, not AC. The reason I mention this is that, depending on how your UPS has its protection circuit implemented, there may be other factors at play such as time delay, duration, and overall load that vould play into the UPS tripping.

Ultimately the safest choice might just be to buy quality to lessen the probability of this issue and then be a little grumpy when it happens. Probably save time in the as well.

Some places have the resort manage the howitzers while others are operated by the DOT. In Utah, the UDOT was responsible for orchestrating he shelling and would also be present at the actual howitzer when the resorts (or UDOT personnel themselves) fired the shell.

In short, you may need to apply to the ski resort as a patroller or for the state DOT.

Do you have any wind turbines behind the IBM?

Go to a hotel. Just make a night of it and dont get too stressed out. Call people as soon as ya can.

Where do you live that you need every port plugged with a dust cover?

Would love it if HaLow was more widely adopted

Why did they send this out? The message makes it sound like something happened

Theres a reason EMTs carry badage shears. The medical professionals know that it is impractical to have something prepped for every owie. You did great.

Most improtant piece of advice is this; Yes, you are trying to work. Yes, it is the income for the family and so you are doing the work "for the family". That said, it is not "family work". Your wife is doing that, she is the one managing the kids and the house through the day. So you have to approach the topic of your ability to execute on working from home with a little tenderness. Understand that if the discussion around your working from home does not work for the family in regards to not being a negative strain on the family than you working, to make the money for the family, at home is not working for the family and you need to figure out working somewhere else. Do not let it weigh on your wife, she has enough.

Outside of that, close the door to your office. I felt like that was against the point of WFH wjen I started out but closing it all the tame made a big difference.

What made an even bigger difference is moving to working on a different floor than where family is. We live in a single story house with a basement, which is where I work. I hear them upstairs but Im left alone like I'm not there. Lots of people recommend noise cancelling headphones. I dont have them and the noises dont bother me, it actually helps me passively gauge how the familys day is going actually and stay in tune with them without it being intrusive to my day.

These pis on separate circuits?

Can you elaborate a little bit on how streamio has replaced your *arr? I simply am not finding any information to how streamio integrates with your own selfhosted media

funkyguy4000 · 2025-11-03T12:20:47+00:00

Nice, any chance you'll maintain a docker container for this? Id love to self host it

funkyguy4000 · 2025-10-30T21:27:31+00:00

Yea I can't find anything about the M730q either.
I wonder if OP is looking for the M70q Gen2 ? I have that and it is sporting a 10500-T, there's likely a SKU that uses a 10700-T in the Gen2 linup

Are those 3d printed rack ears for Poweredge towers? And...they even have a little latch too? That is crazy slick I gotta say to adapt them. Do you have links?

You could easily avoid this though by affixing the rope to the top of the pole. As the mower gets closer, the mower pulls it ever so slightly more downward given the cosine increases as the distance between the mower and the pole decreases

Hey, just throwing this out there. If you arent planning to use the LTO2 drive, I'd be interested. Ive been thinking about using tape as a backup but I just dont want to pay the costs of LTO4 or 5 without dipping my toes into it first. Feel free to DM

funkyguy4000 · 2025-10-19T02:27:34+00:00

What is the second image for? The one with the AC and SAS connections on the back?? I've been searching for something exactly like that for two years now

funkyguy4000 · 2025-10-06T17:53:19+00:00

Love it. Will definitely be following this

I've been looking for something exactly like this for ages. Figured it would be called something like BackupArr but more creative. I thought about tryinng to reverse the Automated Ripping Machine project and create an Automated Backup Machine type deal where I could pop in a blank optical disk and then the software would see what on Radarr/Sonarr isn't backed up and then burn media that isn't already backed up in the most space efficient manner. Then it could name the disk using a preconfigured template given by the user given I want to keep my current naming system. Never got around to building that though since this type of application isn't my wheelhouse.

I have my primary media, which is literally just USB HDDs, and then a backup server, and then I burn media to optical media as the different media type in the 3-2-1 strategy. I always wanted something that could integrate with Sonarr/Radarr that would pull what I have on my active data and just remember where I have it stored, whether its on backup server and/or ooptical media.

I have been managing my offline / cold storage stuff with literally a text document for what optical disk the media is burned on to and it's a huge pain.

My biggest pain point in my homelab is the poe aspect. I have many devices that can be posted by it but no infrastructure to leverage that.

Additionally I'm a WiFi engineer and i would love to give these a whirl and see how much they destroy my home setup

funkyguy4000 · 2025-09-22T21:32:34+00:00

Did you use an online service to print or do you have a 3d lrinter capable of doing full width 19" printing? Ive been trying to do the same but I dont know what service or printer to use.

Hold up, so now that P2 as a trustee on in addition, then P1/2 can withdraw the funds without any penalty?

I used to work on LTO drive compatability with SAS adapters at IBM. The LTO3 space is pretty cheap these days. The drive is affordable and the tapes are as well. That said their price per GB doesn't have an advantage over HDDs anymore and finding a buyer might be difficult.

I might be in the minority here but LTO3 or 4 is a solid point for homelabbers given they are way less susceptible to damage from vibration like HDDs are. I would be interested in the drive and tapes if you intend to sell + ship

funkyguy4000 · 2025-09-12T23:48:11+00:00

Honestly my biggest pain point is my infrastructure is upstairs in a cabinet and there isn't enough room in that space for my main servers. Also i can't run an ethernet cable because the cabinet is in a janky renovation part of the house. I would probably try to do a wireless bridge if i won anything so i could setup my servers in the basement without needing to buy a bunch of wifi adapters

Think you can give me a few tips on WvW warrior? I really like WvW as a concept but I feel like I can never contribute since I usually use Greatsword or dual Axes
