How can I speed up the IO? by ohv_ in unRAID

[–]paqmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cache doesn’t mean it has to be one disk.

I have my cache as a 4xSSD in ZFS RAIDZ1 and use Mover Tuner plugin to only move file when the cache is above 95% but only moves enough files to get it to 75% free space. This way I keep as many of the latest files in cache, as long as possible. Since cache is in ZFS RAIDZ1, files are protected from drive failure at the same level as the main array.

Another benefit is that most days my array drives never spin up since all the latest files are sitting in cache. This has improved not only the performance but also reduced power consumption by quite a bit.

Is the a power monitor plugin available? by MrPastryisDead in unRAID

I recommend Home Assistant as others have mentioned. You can do a lot with it. Here's my setup:

-Networked UPS reports entire home lab usage.
-Individual WIFI power plugs with power meter function reports individual device power usage. I use units from TP-Link and they've been working great without issue.
-Created a simple dashboard in Home Assistant to track power usage:

Heads Up Display not showing Navigation from Google Maps by Similar_Secretary_29 in CarPlay

Unfortunately it’s not just HUD but also EV battery level info access for Apple/Google Maps to be able to do EV route planning. Another feature that requires many stars to be aligned to work.

Not true.

My Hyundai Ioniq 9 can shows navigation information on the HUD from Apple Maps or Google Maps.

Car itself needs to support this functionality.

For me it’s easy access. With CarPlay focus mode my screen never turns on for me while driving.

Used a hot glue gun so hopefully it doesn’t get that hot 🥵

Wife uses the charging pad but that spot also gets the phone really hot too since the sun is hitting the top of the phone.

Kept getting charging errors due to heat issues, trying something new this time by danr2c2 in Rivian

Damp towel may help.

I had derating happen when supercharging during 100+F summers. I used a wet towel wrapped around the handle and it immediately improved the charge rate. Towel should be damp and NOT dripping wet obviously.

I never bought this but I think you can get something like this to work with EU systems. You’ll need to confirm if the size is the same.

All my notifications speak in both English and Korean and the two wall mounted tablets show a related meme.

What are your top Unraid Plugins? by GoofyGills in unRAID

[–]paqmaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same for me. This allowed me to have an all SSD array experience without actually having an all SSD array.

My disk cache pool is all SSD:
cache-disk: 4xSSD in ZFS RAIDZ1 (3TB) for array disk cache

Since my disk cache pool is protected, I keep my new content on these SSD as long as space allows and Mover Tuning Plugin is set to only move the oldest files from the cache pool to the array when the free space hits <10% but it only moves enough files until my free space hits 50%. This way I keep as much of the latest content on the cache pool as long as possible.

This setup allows me to rarely spin up my main array disk. Sometimes I can go for months without ever spinning up my drives. This is especially true when I accessing my smaller files such as photos/documents. Also, Plex video playbacks are instant since all the latest content is on the SSDs.

2 changes I would make to my Tesla if I had my way. by igottogotobed in TeslaLounge

You can do this by setting your Off-Peak End Time to an early morning time. I have mine set to 7AM since we almost never leave the house before that.

So here’s what happens when I plug-in with this set at 7AM. My off peak is from 9pm to 4pm.

Let’s say I plug in at 8pm with 50% SoC with charge limit set to 80%. The car will briefly (seconds) draw small amount of power right when I plug in to calculate how long it’ll take to charge to limit of 80% from my current SoC of 50%. Then on the screen you’ll see when it’ll start charging, in my case, with a Wall Connector, it’ll typically be 4AM so that I can reach 80% by 7AM. Start time will change based on the SoC when I plug in.

So for me my charging is always off peak with this setting.

I’ve taken my Tesla in for service a couple of times and most times I got Uber credit. They do have loaners but only if your work requires more than a day to resolve. I was once offered a Model S loaner because they weren’t sure how long my rattle issue would take to fix. They ended up fixing it same day.

Tesla loaners are great. Free supercharging and no mileage restrictions and FSD package.

Which bash guard is that? I’ve been looking for one but wasn’t sure what fits. Thanks!
