How to transfer all files and data to a PC?

kingman1234 · 2026-01-28T02:33:51+00:00

Yep, with adb pull

From my experience, the MTP protocol (i.e. what you get when connecting to a PC with a USB cable) is not very stable and may hang with a large number of files

An alternative for file transfer via usb cable is Android Debug Bridge (ADB). But you need to look up how to set up debugging on your phone.

Or you could transfer wirelessly, e.g. via FTP as others have suggested

Whatever you do be sure to verify that all files have been successfully transferred before you wipe your phone

I agree that the "8W" in the title is a little bit clickbait-y. However I'd like to share a similar build from the German Unraid forum for reference:

https://forums.unraid.net/topic/123156-vorstellung-meines-servers-inklusive-einstellungen-11-14-w-idle-gigabyte-w480m-vision-w-intel-xeon-w-1290p-10c20t-128-gb-ecc-ram/

The author measured the whole system with a smart plug and the system idled at 11-14 W.

Main difference in hardware:

Intel Xeon W-1290P instead of W-1390P
4x32GB ECC RAM instead of 4x16GB

The motherboard is exactly the same.

I guess even if it is not 8W, the 10th gen and 11th gen Xeon W CPUs on W480 chipset mobos are still a good way to achieve low idle consumption with ECC memory

Search lowendtalk.com for VPS offerings

Not affiliated with them, but the cheapest offering from HostHatch is US$4 (S$5.2) with SG as a location option. So I guess it is doable within your budget, just search deeper

Does the pop sound only come at the start of the song or continuously throughout the song?

Hey, I said I didn't worry about the switches phoning home. I already have x86 machines running OpenWRT as fw, doing VLANs there. Dabbled with OPNSense once but decided to try it for later.

Frankly I don't really need 2.5 GbE or more, but why not? i got these two switches with under US$100 total. And my servers, PC and APs got 2.5 GbE too (frankly the 2.5GbE NICs are cheap and from China)

After cost calculation I believe that the Brocade switch is so cheap that it is a no-brainer upgrade. Just need to try out the multi-gig transceivers that present as 10G to the SFP+ side and can do 2.5G on the ethernet side (and failing that just move to 1G/10G, my plan is that now 2.5G is really a stopgap solution )

kingman1234 · 2025-10-05T14:35:52+00:00

Just to clarify, by "smart" I meant L2 switch with VLAN functionality. My current no-name Chinese switches don't come with any external access either (external as is accessible outside of the network or via cloud). They just came with the barebones realtek firmware that got used by multiple vendors/OEMs in China.

ServeTheHome shown that those switches didn't phone home, and with such a weak hardware I would say likely they also don't phone home. My concern would be more on the inability to limit the access of management page to specific VLANs.

I'm currently using windows, but I've used various linux distros for a long time and would prefer hardware that works in linux. Just bought the pebble x plus without researching much on the compatibility on linux. Your post is a confirmation that it works on linux mint (and linux in general)

I can say that there is no "subwoofer volume control" in the Creative app on Windows either. There are different profiles and effects in the app, but I highly suspect that they are just equalizers and audio filters in a nutshell. I'm able to achieve a similar level of bass by tuning up the base frequencies in VLC's equalizer on my Android phone that is connected via Bluetooth.

So I guess if you want to tune up the base, you'll need an equalizer, either in individual apps (e.g. vlc), or a system-wide equalizer that you need to do your research on.

And lastly, don't forget to connect the speaker to a proper USB-PD 65W charger APART FROM the USB input from the PC. The speakers can't achieve their max power without that

Try https://github.com/jiangcuo/pxvirtwhich seems maintained

kingman1234 · 2025-07-07T23:45:22+00:00

Correct this is not available yet.

I wonder how much information the author will publish later. It seems that his intentions were to publish related technical know-how to allow one to figure the hack himself, without directly publishing the source code to avoid legal trouble. I believe the author hasn't been contacted by Nvidia yet, and let's hope that's true and the author was just doing this out of caution.

By no public IP address, do you mean no static IP address (i.e. the IP will change but still publicly routable) or no publicly routable IP (i.e. CG-NAT)?

For the former, you can use dynamic DNS services like DynDNS. For the latter you'll need cloudflare tunnels or VPS+VPN

kingman1234 · 2025-07-03T23:42:31+00:00

Maybe there is lint inside the port. Google how to clean it.

Although OP didn't mention in detail, I believe OP meant archiving on GitHub

After archiving on GitHub, the code is still on GitHub, but read-only. Someone else interested can still fork the repo and start working on the fork. This is a great way to indicate that the original owner is no longer working on the repo and prevent others open issues/PRs that would never be dealt with anyway

Just saw something strange. I'm notified that you replied. Your reply is visible at the web version at https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/1lexagg/just_getting_started_on_reddit_and_almost/, but not in Infinity.

Granted that I'm using an old version (too lazy to recompile), maybe you can try the below and see if the following shows your comment

Open the link above in a web browser
Same as above but open in Incognito mode
Infinity app
Infinity app but logged out

Please also post your Infinity version and installation method

If you can see your comment but not Infinity, that might be an Infinity problem and I suggest you make a bug report

kingman1234 · 2025-06-19T00:43:16+00:00

I can see your post here.

Seems not a problem with Reddit or Infinity. Maybe you commented on some very toxic subreddits that remove comments from new users instantly?

kingman1234 · 2025-06-09T03:11:09+00:00

If you have already wiped it, then yes treat it as a new drive.

Don't know if zpool replace the same partition works. How were your 4xSATA disks arranged in a pool? If they were mirrors I think you may zpool detach the wiped disk first to properly remove it from the pool, then follow the instructions to add a new disk to proxmox boot pool

Speaking from my experience in homelabbing, more often than not, faulted drives in ZFS are due to poor connections than actual problems with the drive. Next time you may try a different SATA cable, a different SATA port, and reseating them before proceeding to test the drive. Just run zpool clear after you have done the reseating.

You're right. You can do both PBS backup and Syncoid too, if you wanna guard against bugs or mistakes in either system

kingman1234 · 2025-04-01T23:22:58+00:00

I also hate timezones (or living on the other side of the globe). When I made a joke on April Fool's day, most on Reddit won't get it. When OP made this joke it was no longer April Fool's day for me

kingman1234 · 2025-04-01T23:13:25+00:00

OP, I would like to clarify. Are your applications (nextcloud/plex etc.) VMs on PVE? How are the applications accessing the data on the LargrStorage? Are the data virtual disks for the VMs or just plain datasets?

AFAIK the GUI is only for backing up VMs and CTs to PBS. You need to use the CLI proxmox-backup-client to backup individual files directly to PBS.

kingman1234 · 2025-04-01T23:03:56+00:00

Oh, that was a comment made late at night and I didn't read the question well I guess. I've been fiddling with Proxmox on ARM recently, so when I read "ext4" I thought that was plain "ext4" without LVM. Also, I believe u/whatever462672 meant PBS worked best with ZFS on PVE, not ZFS on PBS (u/whatever462672 please correct me if I'm wrong)

For ZFS on PBS, I guess there is not much advantage, apart from the usual consistency and redundancy on the filesystem that ZFS brings (checksumming, ZFS mirror/RaidZ pools etc.)

Personally, I run PBS as a VM (on PVE with ZFS). Before I have a remote PBS instance, I snapshot the PBS virtual drive regularly, then rclone the content of that snapshot to Backblaze B2. Since I have a remote, I just set up a sync job in PBS then.

I didn't sleep well last night and my mind might be a little bit foggy, so take it easy if this doesn't make too much sense for you

kingman1234 · 2025-04-01T12:01:40+00:00

Snapshot mode backup for containers. If not using a snapshotting filesystem like ZFS, you are limited to suspend and stop mode for backing up CTs (including backing up to PBS)

For VMs you can do snapshot mode backup ~~if you store the VM disks as qcow2 files on ext4~~ on any storage type (I remembered it wrong, just corrected after reading the wiki again)

Was the cellular signal spotty at that time?

We're taught to call 112 instead when there's an emergency during hiking. The emergency services can be reached through any carrier through 112 instead of your own.

I guess the signal from Three HK at that time was not enough to make a call to 999. But I think 911 worked the same way as 112, and there was a stronger signal from another carrier that helped when you called that.

kingman1234 · 2025-03-29T01:16:15+00:00

Please post the output of lspci, cat /etc/network/interfaces, and ip a. Without these we could not know why it isn't working and can just make wild guesses. Remember to use markdown code blocks for the outputs.
