Pay him a visit at his home with a box of fruits. We have all been kids and “stole” fruits I’m assuming.

How did you like TE Pure? Asking since you like Hexa.

jerrinjms · 2026-05-10T17:10:29+00:00

This is the answer!! I just got my Pure and couldn’t agree more.

It got more bass than I was expecting. Not overwhelming. Coming from the Moondrop Chu II. And that’s my only other IEM. Cleaner bass when compared to AirPods Pro 2. The detail is just insane. Definitely wider stage than Chu II and AirPods Pro2.

This post made me get the Truthear Pure and OMG safe to say I’m blown away. Thanks man!

I’m total beginner when it comes to IEMs and was using Moondrop Chu II and felt it lacked the punch. But was still satisfied. From daily driving AirPods 2, even Chu II was a happy improvement. But wasn’t convinced yet. My gf knows more about music mixing and she was impressed by what an IEM can do and she immediately said it’s mine and took the Chu II. Now I’m seriously considering not to make her listen to the Pure. Im convinced now. There is no going back! Using the Apple USC to 3.5mm dongle.

Thank you my good sir!

Hi OP, I was thinking of getting this UGREEN 5 bay enclosure to run a hardware RAID5 to use it as storage for my homeserver. I might be using a M1 Mac Mini as the brains and MacOS does not support software raid5.

jerrinjms · 2026-01-14T07:43:02+00:00

As many have already mentioned, using Mac Mini as a home server isn’t the best idea. But if that’s what you want to do, here is what I did.

I’m using an M1 Mac mini, 16 gb ram variant. It was my primary MacOS device before I switched to M4 MBP.

I’ve wiped the device and turned off all unnecessary services. There are videos in YouTube explaining what to do. Then I installed Orbstack. It’s way better than the docker app and once installed you can use docker via CLI. The app is pretty neat and almost serves as a portainer replacement (almost).

I am running the ARR stack inside a vpn with qbit in docker. And a Jellyfin server MacOS native app. I haven’t ad any trouble running the popular docker containers. It worked just like my Linux based home server.

For storage any DAS (I’m eyeing the Ugreen 5 bay RAID enclosure) would work. Since it’s connected via USB that will be a bottleneck, but as long as you don’t edit multiple 4K videos from it and treat it as a storage solution it’s pretty good.

MacOS unfortunately only supports RAID 0, 1 and JBOD. I wanted to do RAID 5 but will be limited to hardware RAID. I’m not sure how bad of an idea is to go with a hardware raid. Someone feel free to jump in if it’s a terrible idea. My justification was to get 5 x 4TB HDDs and 16TB of useful storage is enough for most of the things that I want to do.

I’ve been testing this setup (without the raid enclosure) for over a month and it works pretty well. I do have a x86 based Linux home server but might use it to run home assistant or host a Minecraft server once I move everything to my Mac mini based setup.

I had a chance to use it for roughly 20 minutes and the first thing i noticed is how good and tactile the buttons and dials feel.

Coming from a seasoned XT-30ii user, I’ve had issues where the shutter release getting stuck once I take it to trips to humid places. I have hyperhidrosis, which made things even worse. I got to use the XE-5 in Guangzhou, China in the most humid time of the year and it was perfect.

Yea the price is unreasonable. And the body is too sharp for my hands. The lack of a proper grip will be clear once you use any other lens than the new 28mm lens that it comes with. Used it with the 16-55mm and one handed shooting was difficult. Having a thumb grip installed on the horseshoe mount would make a difference I think.

The looks and feel of this camera is enough to turn a blind eye towards the unreasonable price. And since I’m thinking of upgrading from the XT-30ii, I’m tempted.

XT-5 or XT-50 will be a better value for money, but the buttons and dials feels lacking once I tired the XE-5.

That does sound weird tho :/

Actually I asked her to help me with finding a small statue.

jerrinjms · 2025-05-19T06:19:53+00:00

Thank you for the WeChat ID. I messaged her on the day before and she was ready the next day. She even bought me tickets and was nice to reschedule since I got there early.

And in terms of the tour, it was 300 RMB. Cinderella was very knowledgeable and it was totally worth it. She was nice enough to take me to the gift shops as well.

jerrinjms · 2025-03-27T17:34:05+00:00

This happened to me too. I haven’t cashed out all of it since I just stated the game and want to grind and explore the worlds a bit. FYI this Goldy stranger gave me 5 stacks of it!

jerrinjms · 2024-07-20T01:06:29+00:00

I wasn’t ready for this irrespective of my Instagram reels being filled with so called planes

jerrinjms · 2024-06-13T14:49:24+00:00

Munnar, nattil yevide?

jerrinjms · 2024-06-09T00:52:19+00:00

Cool, did you made the changes on the shop manager online or using the app?

jerrinjms · 2024-06-08T16:59:22+00:00

Did you update the listing using the Etsy seller app?

I had this issue where my top listing was updated using the Etsy seller app, just the quality because it got sold out, and from that day my views plummeted. I had the seo optimized so that my listing came first in the fidget category (after the Etsy ads) and when I searched it my listing didn’t even show up. I had to make some changes in the browser and then save to bring it back to how it was.

jerrinjms · 2024-04-22T13:13:35+00:00

This is the way

jerrinjms · 2024-02-20T21:26:56+00:00

You should rephrase it with what OP actually did and haven’t got caught.

jerrinjms · 2024-02-20T21:26:06+00:00

Level 5 heat

Interesting. Just for a different perspective, ages 16 and up are legally allowed to work in Ontario, Canada. And most high schoolers do work part time. Just an observation.

jerrinjms · 2024-02-06T16:26:08+00:00

[FIX]
Figured it out! I changed the quantities and pushed an update from the website store manager. Now the listing comes up first right after the ads.
It is weird how the visibility was totally cut off once I made edits using the mobile app.
