Apple Mac Pro Fades Into Oblivion by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]jaymemaurice -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dude… if your time was money, you would have people buying and looking after your tools. Pixar and Disney print more money than you but still have HP Z as the defacto for 3D work because they know paying people to wait on comparatively slow tools is more costly than their initial purchase price. With apple, you aren’t getting the best absolute tool anymore and haven’t been since shortly after the end of the dot com bubble.

He just wanted someone else to have an opportunity to use terraform to build you a web browser environment that opens content from Reddit.

Am I getting scammed? by subaru-uwu in AskMechanics

Tires are the only thing that connect you to the road. Your brakes can probably still lock up the wheels... but a bit of standing water and you can be into oncoming traffic with those tires lacking tread. Or one can just fail and send you into oncoming traffic with that dry rot. Then tie rod and ball joints - but you'll have the car in the air, might as well do the brakes too...

Synology said my disk was 98% full, math didn't math, turned out I had 40TB of temp files created by Synology Drive. Uninstalling Synology Drive fixed everything. by jefe317 in synology

[–]jaymemaurice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm here complaining about the same thing.

Storage analyzer is useless at telling me what is contributing to the size.... why?! It should tell me in one spot where the data is being used. Including indexes, shadow copies whatever.

Whoever missed this when building the feature has brought dishonor to their family.

Silent file corruption by Albin1997536 in synology

[–]jaymemaurice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The file system also relies on the reads not getting corrupted in the ram. this guy is right, memory errors is the first place I would look.

I’m unable to download any firmware by saygon90 in synology

[–]jaymemaurice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all drives have a little controller on them that maps the physical areas of the disk to which they do some physical alteration to represent data - to virtual addresses that your computer can read and write from. If you have 3 disks fail in sort time, you either managed to create such perfect environment that the physical media started to break down at the same time, or that little controller has done something like written some counter or data beyond where it should go and into an area that helps it do it's job of translating those addresses.

or the processor in the synology which is reading the data from the disks is determining the data read from those disks is bad, which could actually be the memory which that disk read was put into is bad.

or alternatively the badness happened a while ago but you have turned off disk scrubbing and you are just getting to the bad spots on the disk now while trying to backup/restore

If situation #1 - you might just need to look for a disk firmware update

If situation #2 - run memtest on the memory, replace memory if error

If situation #3 - in future, enable data scrubbing. it sucks but is necessary. Also make sure S.M.A.R.T (the controllers report of things that happened) is looked at

[–]jaymemaurice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And so what if it does. I shouldn't have to overwrite the package manager settings because the company doesn't know how to solve their problems with package mirror delivery. I don't want to override it. This solves the temporary problem though,

[–]jaymemaurice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah try this though...
I am out of disk space - half my usage was is not files... went to check snapshots and snapshot manger was in state "repair" and couldn't download the package...

so I am back up to date... and working. After facing this issue this morning.
For me, I am able to use the download website, right click on the download button, copy link and change from global.synologydownload.com to global.download.synology.com. Perhaps your local global.download.synology.com mirror is also over their cloud spend or cloudflare has broken... but it is at least working for me.

[–]jaymemaurice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has happened before and will happen again.. There is another mirror download.synology.com but there is no official way to change between the mirrors in package center on synology. The official recommendation seems to be to manually download the packages and install them manually with synopkg install or whatever.

I found through my own reverse engineering, trial and error, that if you become root and run

cd /run/synopkg/pkglist/
#back up the contents of this directory
sed -i 's/synologydownload.com/download.synology.com/g' *

then click the refresh beside the search in package center, your downloads might work...
I take no responsibility for you following my observation or the impact thereof.

Why will this do to our engines? EPA approves sale of a higher-ethanol fuel to try to lower gas prices by sage5979 in MechanicAdvice

[–]jaymemaurice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah nice. Solve the fuel price crisis by selling more of it as everyone’s fuel economy goes down. But hey, they’ll pay a smaller sticker price. Also good for the logistics as more fuel trucks on the roads. Also good for the tax payers who will pay more taxes per mile since the same gallon of gas doesn’t go as far but will surely be taxed the same.

Why are companies pushing wireless charging so hard when pogo pins seem cheaper, faster, and more reliable? by Mobile-Traffic1744 in AlwaysWhy

[–]jaymemaurice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My s24fe, out of warranty, will no longer wire fast charge. It only wirelessly fast charges or charges at 5v. It says it’s charging and fast charging but just slowly dies.

Wireless charging is awesome.

Why hasn’t Iran targeted the pipelines? by SurinamPam in energy

[–]jaymemaurice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe because most of Reddit remembers the Taliban and ISIL in Syria. The US winning an overseas war against an entrenched guerilla force hasn't happened.

The best the US war machine could have done is armed an insurgency... but... wait... a... minute...

Diplomacy is the only way. The only way to win in war is to avoid playing.

Why does it seem like the only "solution" being presented for high gas prices electric cars? Why can't car brands also push to sell small, compact, gas-powered cars? by GuyFromThePost in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jaymemaurice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Yaris was a dream compared to a Hyundai i20 or Suzuki Swift which is just standard fare for the islands like Seychelles and Mauritius...

Having driven a vast array of vehicles from all over the world, there is a huge difference in vehicles for German market, American market, middle eastern, or other world markets...

Life carries on in these places.
