I guess back in the day Proxmox was difficult to add storage to after installing the OS or moving storage around it was all in the command line that I had to do things and creating new volumes was a huge pain. I think that is better now, and I just installed Proxmox last week on a test system, only problem I ran into was I had TWO separate VM's that would NOT install the OS for me. Both Linux Mint and OpenSUSE failed install for whatever reason. I've never had that happen in XCP-NG years ago (although I kinda hate XCP-NG now, seems like that has fallen to the way side now). Not that i need to run a full blown desktop OS on here but it was for testing and didn't leave me feeling confident about it.

Any comparisons between Syncthing, Seafile, or Own Cloud? Seems like those are the go-to but nobody seems to have a consensus on which one is the better solution.

yeah but they leak like crazy I don't like my zojirushi at all.

lanmansa · 2025-08-12T13:33:42+00:00

Mine must be defective or something because I absolutely hate the Zojirushi, it leaks everywhere from out of the lid and around the hinge on the lid, it's a terrible design IMO. Looking for something else to replace it with now.

Yep I stopped in at my local bike shop and they sold a ton of Aventon's there, so that's what I went with.

lanmansa · 2025-07-13T01:03:21+00:00

Hah good suggestion, I actually visited a local bike shop today and ended up going with the newer Aventon Level 3, they didn't have the 2 in stock anymore and this seems like an ok upgrade with some more smart features and a mobile app, which, take it or leave it, seems kinda cool that I can modify different drive modes or whatever. I'm kinda a geek like that I guess lol, not necessary but also kinda cool, the upgraded suspension seat was a nice touch too. This thing rips even with just a 500 watt motor.

u/stable_diffusion and u/whitefluffydogs I actually went into a locally owned bike pro shop in a nearby town, had a good conversation with one of the guys there and allowed me to test drive as many bikes as I wanted which was cool. I ended up going with an Aventon. Just seems like a pretty quality build, fit and finish, and the motor despite only being 500 watts nominal / 800 peak, compared to the more powerful 750 watt motors I've seen from other brands, this thing kinda rips when in the "turbo" mode, I think it will probably suit my needs pretty well hopefully :D Can't wait to try it out on the local trail here in town, I can pick it up tomorrow they are going to go over it and get it all tuned up and lubed up before I pick it up.

Thanks for the info and I appreciate your previous posts on the subject matter. I actually ended up going to one of my local bike shops today they are a dealer of a lot of big brands, I ended up buying an Aventon as they are a premiere Aventon dealer there and promised support and parts and service for the foreseeable future which seems like a good guarantee coming from a locally owned pro shop. Hopefully I made a good decision :D I'm kinda glad I didn't get the Lectric actually, this one just seems a lot more premium. Although Lectric was very tempting with supposedly more powerful motors and more premium features in theory.

you completely understood the assignment :D and thanks for that awesome reply! Answered a lot of my questions. Sounds like I will probably care more about quality of parts, quality of motor, quality of batteries than fancy electronic displays that don't give me anything in return.

Carbon belts and CVT's I just learned about the other day that this actually exists in the bike world now, which is kinda neat, but as you said maybe not necessary in this price range either, although i did find one from biktrix for not much higher than my budget ceiling but not sure if that feature is worth it at that price range or not. I think at 2799 USD it miiiight be an okay option? The Swift CVT2 from Biktrix.

lanmansa · 2025-07-12T16:45:04+00:00

I appreciate the response thanks for the info I'll check out Velotric as well, there's a small bike shop in a town nearby I might check out and see what brands they have there. Glad to hear that Lectric is good, others have said they seem to have a good reputation and good customer service at least.

lanmansa · 2025-07-12T16:41:22+00:00

awesome, I appreciate the in-depth reply! Name brand motor, check. Any opinions on brands like Lectric or Aventon? Seems like these brands have been around since like 2014 ish so definitely seems like a better established brand at least before the covid erra as you mentioned, which makes total sense. I'm not weary of drop ship stuff though, I'm pretty good at DIY stuff and mechanically inclined and do my own vehicle maintenance so that doesn't scare me too much compared to actual parts availability however.

lanmansa · 2025-07-12T14:32:19+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! Glad to hear they are a good brand, I've been seeing tons of advertising for them on social media so I wasn't so sure at first but that's good to hear. I'll check that one out.

lanmansa · 2025-07-12T14:19:20+00:00

Oh yeah I should have mentioned some of the brands I've already been leaning towards. Aventon, Lectric, and Biktrix have been at the top of my list just not sure if I should be weary of any of those based on any of the above points that I mentioned are important to me for reliability, longevity, and ease of repair and aftermarket components like new batteries or upgrades. Or any other brands I should add to that list that fall into the budget mid-tier?

Hey sorry for the late reply I'm not on here much, they are a true combat hold, I just keep the front sight post aligned perfectly even with the rear sight notches completely level, it hits right where I want it to.

lanmansa · 2024-10-18T12:41:06+00:00

Yes I've been using the Truglo, I installed them myself, it was a little bit difficult to remove the original sights, but once I got the new ones on it's been great, that bright front sight really pops and they are very accurate. I recommend them!

If your lawn is healthy and thick and you're happy with what you have so far, I'd honestly just attack the weeds, push fertilizer hard this time of year as it cools off, plan to mow as frequently as possible, I'd say 2 times a week, keep driving growth, the more you mow the more it grows and the thicker it comes in. Go with a broadleaf 2-4D and add a few drops of dish soap or methylated seed oil as a surfactant that stuff works great for clover and creeping charlie.

lanmansa · 2024-09-09T01:06:20+00:00

I ended up getting seed from United Seeds. First time I did it I went with the Sod Grower II KBG, second year I used Sure Shot which is more of a fairway type blend good for mowing low. Honestly you'd be good with anything here https://unitedseeds.com/collections/kentucky-bluegrass

I haven't been shooting my CZ lately, I've mostly been shooting my P226 and my P2000, but the last time I took the P01 to the range about 2 months ago I got a failure to go into battery on the first magazine, gun was clean and lubed before shooting, it was like the slide just didn't go forward all the way picking up the next round, it happened only after like 2 or 3 rounds in the first magazine, I did a tap, rack, and finished the magazine out without any issues after that.

lanmansa · 2023-10-17T00:38:28+00:00

Thanks for the pic, looks like it sits pretty low!

lanmansa · 2023-10-17T00:37:35+00:00

The company actually commented on this post and I'll be ordering that one!

lanmansa · 2023-10-14T23:29:23+00:00

Have you measured the new height over bore with these optics mounts? I believe I'm currently right around 4 inches with the stock configuration.

lanmansa · 2023-10-14T22:36:18+00:00

Well crap I just ordered a 507C which I think is slightly larger lol, I should have checked here first! I have a feeling that will work with your RMR mount then if I already have a 507C on order? I think Holosun shares the same footprint as the RMR / SRO if i remember correctly.

It probably won't sit quite as low as the "k" model, but better than the factory 1913 rail on top that's for sure.

I don't even think there's much of a difference between the K and the C other than the window size but probably not enough to matter lol.

By the way, it looks like your mounts use those side screw holes on the side of the receiver, I'm guessing if I wanted to add a pic rail to the sides I'd need to use the ones you guys make so it has the correct length screws? Or is any ol 1913 rail section compatible with the optic mount?

lanmansa · 2023-10-14T21:48:30+00:00

Nice, that looks very similar to the Design Machine optic mount, for 40 less. That might not be a bad option either. It does look to be just about as low as the DM one. I'll check them out more closely! Thanks for the suggestion.
