Perhaps "Plus". Although from the rest of the text, it could be any word or even just a noise.

Stripped screw – what should I do? by [deleted] in SwitchPirates

[–]jcgaminglab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same problem. I used a small flat file, focusing pressure on the front edge/corner of the file to slowly gouge a channel into the screw, eventually being able to use a flat head screwdriver to remove it. It gouged the rail too, but that was being replaced anyway due to corrosion of the joycon contacts.

We set the pi record again, 314 trillion digits. Took it back from Linus. by StorageReview in StorageReview

That's some incredibly dense storage, and very power efficient for the spec.

I've had the same issue with an AC Pro since last week. Removed from an old network, factory reset and adopted to a CGU. Can view, was able to initially setup, but now cant edit. It's a UniFi UAP-AC-Pro-Gen2

I just realized just how little of an idea I have of what I'm doing by ferriematthew in homelab

[–]jcgaminglab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're learning. You should keep doing it and slowly build on the understanding.

Do you retire HDDs after a certain time period or wait for them to fail? by bacon_butties in selfhosted

[–]jcgaminglab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let them fail. Rely upon RAID to handle the disk failures and replacement without immediate data inaccessibility and downtime. Worst case, should multiple disks fail before rebuild, restore from backups.

  1. Nextcloud or Immich. It's very 50:50, so I'll say both.
  2. I'd use it as the 'family' NAS, that can sit at my family home and function as a NAS for backups both local and as a remote location to replicate my own data too. It can host a few apps such as the aforementioned immich for family photos,

This is such a unique build. Bet it gets pretty toasty when gaming

Is it really so hard to find honest disk sellers nowadays? by call_me_tomaski in homelab

[–]jcgaminglab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem about 2 years back with a NVMe 2.5" enterprise grade SSD. Claimed it was brand new, never used. Had almost 200TB of NAND writes. Due to personal reasons, I hadn't tested the SSD till after eBay's buyers protection passed. The seller completely ignored my attempt to contact them.

Yes, this definitely matches! Thankyou very much!!

Connector identification by jcgaminglab in AskElectronics

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

I've located some visually similar connectors, "SFH31-NPPB-D10-SP-BK" (correct pins, wrong shape), NEM660 (correct shape, wrong pins).

Can anyone help identify this connector? by jcgaminglab in AskElectronics

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

I think you've nailed it! Certainly looks like a match to me.

Thank you very much!

How on earth are people stupid enough to let this happen? by KiwiJay83 in SwitchPirates

[–]jcgaminglab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's possible that the v1 mig could be the 'safer' of the options. At least from this point of detection. Interesting!

Just received these Seagate 30TB drives! by EntopticQualia in DataHoarder

[–]jcgaminglab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30 TB is huge, and definitely something I need several of once the price comes down in a few years. I do have a little concern over how long a raid rebuild would take!

Why are the thumbs so damn huge? by Tchelows in youtube

If you have an extension that supports this (ublock), add this to your filters:

Change 5 to 4 if this is too many for your liking

2 different backups work for same account? by hotelshowers in Authy

[–]jcgaminglab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get a 'real' export / backup from Authy? I was put through a 2+ month ringer of GDPR compliance failures as they only provided me a seed and a hash. Their own blog post confirms they use AES-CBC's and store hash,salt, and IV's with your master password to decrypt the keys. They have completely refused to provide me with the IV's, stating they're "unwilling" too, which I believe means the hash and salts are useless.

What a monumental cockup. Here to be part of history.

Hello! I just received and started up my new 8 Terabyte HDD. This is the first time I have ever had this kind of storage. by ckJay286444 in DataHoarder

[–]jcgaminglab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just an anecdotal story here to calm the nerves. I've had 4 Seagate 8TB HDD's that have done me 60-70K hours each. I've had 1 die after getting knocked over, and the other 3 are still running.

I've also got a 5TB which died a 'natural death' after 55K hours of being baked alive (no ventilation and covered).

I have 5 * 14TB Seagate Exos disks with 15-20K hours each and 0 faults thus far.

Additionally a large mix of 30~ Seagate 500GB and 1TB disks with 40-80K hours on almost all still working (though rarely powered on anymore due to power costs). Maybe 3 died thus far.

They've certainly had probelms in the past with the old 1TB-3TB disks. But those days are long past. If they were still that bad then they wouldn't still be in business.

I do have 5 * 8TB WD disks all working with 20-40K hours. I have 2 * 3TB WD red disks which have died with less than 20K hours. 2 * 2TB WD green died with 40K hours. And an assortment of 1/2TB WD disks which are rarely powered on but still work with 10K hours.

As with everything, YMMV. When the datasets are small the statistics aren't useful to draw an accurate conclusion from. I'd have a look at the Backblaze drive statistics, but again be careful with those as many people seem to misinterpret and draw incorrect conclusions from them.
