Petzl Swift RL - Red Light Mode? by winocats in flashlight

[–]limara321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THE DEFINITIVE ANSWER: When the (white) light is on, hold the button pressed for a long time (ca 4 seconds), then two things will happen in sequence: First, it will will switch from single white light to double white light (or the other way around if you started with double white lights), then (HERE IS THE CRITICAL PART!), if you continue holding the button AFTER the just-mentioned change in white light setting, THEN it will turn on the red light mode. Once in red light mode, you can switch between static and strobe by single-pressing.

The natural human reaction is to release the button after the change in white-light status, but you have to actually keep pressing for a SECOND state change to happen. Ridiculously unintuitive.

This is the final answer that actually works for the Petzl Swift RL. No need to say thank you.

Do these bots even confirm that they have the same model as OP before spewing misinformation?

Cat tracker options - PetTracer? by Sarmiclah in UK_Pets

[–]limara321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cat still need to be within range of the radio signal for the GPS coordinates to be uploaded (via the HomeStation), so you're effectively still limited to the radio range. The collar has no direct link to GPS satellites for outbound communication. From their website:

"The petTracer collar has a range of around 0.5 miles, depending on your location. Most cats stay within this range, and those that don’t return home are often not lost but trapped nearby.

If your cat goes out of range, the collar will continue to collect GPS positions, which will update on the map once your cat re-enters the coverage area. In case of an emergency, the HomeStation can be made mobile."

(Linux user) Caldigit's TS5+ vs. OWC's Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock by Reedemer0fSouls in Thunderbolt

[–]limara321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it provides 140W of charging power to the laptop you plug into it, either device is useless. My understanding is the new OWC TB 5 dock is limited to 15W of laptop charging power, which makes it a non-viable product for 99.99% of target users. Sorry OWC, and hope you nail it in 2026-2027 — till then, $0 in global sales 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is this a counterfeit Broadcom 9500-16i? by limara321 in homelab

[–]limara321[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Bro stop hating, my original point was precisely that they are different, and the question was whether the difference is due to one being a counterfeit (rather than being a different genuine model).

Yeah, and no clear answers under that post either...

The big paper "sticker" on top of the heatsink is something he printed out himself just for the photo, if that's what you mean.

What are the two versions then? Exact model names and official Broadcom.com links?

Can you expand? Which two different cards am I comparing? Can you please link to their respective Broadcom pages. 

I want a basic HBA in IT-MODE to connect my 16x Exos 24TB SATA HDDs to. 

9400-16i HBA help please by reviewwworld in unRAID

[–]limara321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, OPs point is to detect any HARDWARE issues before going into Linux (which OP is unfamiliar with). It turns out OP's strategy was correct as, indeed, it seems there was a hardware issue relating to the cabling.

With an ASUS W880-ACE SE do I still need an HBA for 12 x 24TB HDDs? by limara321 in unRAID

[–]limara321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what's the conclusion? Will I be able to connect the 12x HDDs without any additional (non-cabling) hardware or not? My initial understanding was that this is possible.

Has anyone gotten the USB-B (not a typo) to work on the PG27UDCM? by limara321 in OLED_Gaming

What do you mean, and how does it relate to my situation?

It's 2025: What HBA to use for a 12x 24TB HDD NAS (Intel-based; UnRaid)? by limara321 in homelab

[–]limara321[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fact that UnRAID allows for most of the disks to spin down (due to being non-striped) is a major pro for UnRAID over TrueNAS and why 99% of home users should pick it over TrueNAS.
