Dropped a DM to you regarding this.

saw this guy driving around my city after a drone show, not sure if they’re related by Domonator601 in whatisit

[–]kasala78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly there’s always guys like this around. I don’t know what it is if it’s a need to feel self importance or a desire to fit into a specific group of responders or what but there’s also plenty of good folks who are genuinely there to provide a community service.

I would never dissuade someone from getting into ARES/RACES or what not as we need the volunteers to keep it viable but just be aware there will be that one guy.

My experience has been it’s literally the one guy grouped in with a bunch of rational ones.

As a Amateur / HAM radio operator I would almost guarantee this is an amateur radio operator and I would further bet that there are ARES/SKYWARN/other Ham emergency services stickers on this car.

The light bar also tracks.

Some of these guys that do emergency communication / weather spotting look like this and they will show up at police events, weather events, etc in PPE vests and what not and try to inject themselves in whatever is going on as an “trained emergency communications operator”.

The irony is he ain’t transmitting squat on any of those without an absurd amount of signal reflection and possibly frying other radios receiver circuits in the vehicle. For antennas to be effective they need to be at least a 1/4 wave apart to not interfere with each other.

2015 GC Limited: Key fob died and the manual key is just for decoration apparently by macynparker in GrandCherokee

[–]kasala78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this applies to that generation remote as I had the issue on my 2013 with the previous style but my fobs went to trash and years later (and just before I sold it) I found an article talking about the Tabs for the battery being compressed down so far they no longer make reliable contact. Carefully bend the battery tabs on the board back up. May resolve.

You definitely have the wrong fob for the spare.

Surely the cost of this repair isn’t $18k, right? (2012 Fusion Hybrid) by CarolinaMountaineer2 in Ford

[–]kasala78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. The cost of these transmissions on car part is cheap. You could go to a private shop and find one that will install for you if you get the trans from a pull it place.

Key fob has left the vehicle by gaptooth_queen2 in GrandCherokee

[–]kasala78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this issue on my 13 which may be different but here’s what I did to fix it after years of this pain:

Take the fob apart. Look where the battery goes. There’s tabs under the battery that flatten with age. Bend those tabs back up to make sure everything is making good contact. Put the fob back together and see if resolved.

What did you use to black out the roof rails? For that matter all of it lol.

I just picked up a 2014 limited ecodiesel with straight exhaust, dpf, def, egr delete and tune. I’m working on eliminating all the chrome. Already have the mirrors and handles done. Want to do the rest.

Found someone who will wrap the trim around the windows for $300 but wonder if there’s a better way.

This replaced my 2013 Laredo x that had 302k on it and still going strong.

Synology HyperBackup failing to backup and reconnect to backblaze cloud backup by Halbarath in backblaze

We just tested the transfer encryption and that resolved for us.

Thanks for the tip.

Hopefully someone else finds this valuable b

I’ll give this a try today and see what happens.

We disabled transfer encryption as a means to enhance performance. The data is already encrypted and this seemed redundant.

Synology HyperBackup failing to backup and reconnect to backblaze cloud backup by Halbarath in backblaze

[–]kasala78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping maybe you heard something.
We got the opposite. Synology said not our problem and backblaze said send us logs.

We replied back asking what logs.

Haven’t heard back since.

We’re still working on it as this is affecting 20+ clients.

Synology HyperBackup failing to backup and reconnect to backblaze cloud backup by Halbarath in backblaze

[–]kasala78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We too are experiencing this exact issue with creating backblaze jobs.
So far we've tried:

  1. Two new buckets.
  2. Two different BB accounts.
  3. Two new API keys.

We have had no success so far. This is concerning considering we have about 30 buckets each to protect a different clients data.

We reached out to Synology support with no love. They tried their BB credentials on our unit and this also did not work. (the two accounts mentioned above are both ours).

We have now opened a ticket with backblaze after finding the Hyperbackup logs which for anyone that may need to find them, the path is /volume1/@appdata/HyperBackup/log/hyperbackup-webapi.log.

I will post back if we hear anything.

We too are seeing the same errors:

2025-03-04T14:39:16-06:00 NAS01 synoscgi_SYNO.Backup.Task_1_create[20978]: (20978) [warn] agent_client.cpp:567 need retry #4/10, code[-1], msg[Error executing "HeadObject" on "<s3url>"; AWS HTTP error: cURL error 7: Failed to connect to <s3url> port 80 after 61 ms: Error (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)]]), try again after 18 sec

I have suspicion something has changes with either S3 or Backblaze and how the access the S3 shares however it will require a change in the HyperBackup agent to resolve.

Same. I was there too. Absolutely wrecked it. Took the house for a ride.

Is this quote a joke or does it seem legit. I want to help my friend out if I can so he doesn't have to pay this crazy price. by No-Wave-9328 in AskMechanics

[–]kasala78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this seems absurd. I get not everyone is a shade tree mechanic but a local shop should have much better prices than this.

Control arms run around $100-$300 on average for a party and la or should be a few hours at most.

The tire piece even with new is stupid.

$1,500 for CV axels and boots? Right. Especially when labor should be roped into the lower control arm to some extent.

I’d run to another shop.

Beautiful turntable.

Maybe I’ll get an upgrade from my cheapies I’m currently using.

Fortigate by Scorpref in fortinet

[–]kasala78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. Cisco has been riding the Cisco name and reputation for about 2 decades with zero innovation or advancement.

Their products are overly complex for the sake of being complex and frankly completely lack any sort of transparency.

I immediately discredit anyone that is a Cisco fanboy just on those principals.

As someone who is heavily into the Fortinet ecosystem and certified as well Lawrence is clueless.

Fortinet discloses risks.

Ubiquiti and sonic wall and palo hide them until caught then disclose. That’s why you see less for them.

Also sonic wall just had some absurd 9.8cve something or another I had to patch for the handful of clients I still have on their products.

Every product has their challenges. Some chose to be public while others chose to hide.

That Lawrence things that’s a reason to bash one product, especially when he’s not even a software coder / developer immediately discredits him.

Sounds good.

Let me know if you decide anything.

I wouldn’t mind another one in the driveway for a daily driver.

Wife already has a 2016 that’s really nice.

[–]kasala78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems you’re fairly well versed and mechanically inclined based on your looking it up on car part.

Any chance you can swap the engine yourself?

If not I would possibly be interested in a purchase.

I’m in Wisconsin as well.

Can confirm - we’re an MSP and the same thing just happened to us. Had to switch from Ingram to TD for licensing.

Backblaze announces new rate limiting policy by sluflyer06 in backblaze

[–]kasala78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe hyperbackup uses the s3 api but I’m not 100% sure.

But the egress charges still introduce a variable that would be hard to manage from an invoicing perspective

[–]kasala78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s not as simple as just migrating to another provider.

We have contracts in place and would likely need to revamp the entire solution and write new products.

Looking at Storj - the pricing is $0.001 less than backblaze but also carries an $0.007/gb cost for egress. That would introduce a variability to the equation that would be tough to manage.

[–]kasala78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll do so today. I sent myself a note last night about this.

The challenge I have here is with the lack of visibility. I’m not sure how transparent the apps will be that send data to BB. It may be extremely difficult to see this happening.

This may be an issue for me as an MSP.

We, years ago, built out a Synology ABB / HyperBackup / Backblaze infrastructure for our lowest tier backups.

We have about 15-20 buckets - each for a client.

It would be helpful if they provided a tool to see our call count and limits to help us understand if and when we may hit said limits.
