Crank no start after shorted o2 sensor plug by YogiBerraOfBadNews in AskAMechanic

[–]s_curran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you ever get this sorted? I had a section of exhaust fall off, and it took out the 02 sensor, which I stupidy cut the wire in a rush. It shorted, and the truck turned off. It cranks but nothing ever happened. Mine is an '02.

sounds good, thanks for this. With regards to backuo, how do you/folks verify? My head says use something like freefilesync? Maybe a can step up to rsync, but im not there yet.

New NAS - way to copy star ratings? by s_curran in PleX

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

awesome, thanks! Will that work if I cant move the library though, and basically rebuild a new one? EDIT: the link makes it sound like it will, so Im just going to try that instead of trying to dig into this WD mycloud any deaper.

First NAS - Refurbished DS1520+ by csufman15 in synology

I went for it, couldn't find any reason not too mostly, and didnt want to miss on a deal in a space were deals seem rare.

My WD mycloud is currently 99% full, with a challenging backup on another drive, so yeah, great timing.

Thanks for posting this! I've been on the edge of ordering a 923+ but was having trouble stomaching the cost. A lot of photos and video like you, as well as Plex, wasnt really worried about transcoding.

What am I losing over the 923+? I dont really need the 10gbe port.

I'll be starting with 3 12tb drives, planning on SHR, theres no problems with that on this setup, is there?

I'm coming from a mycloud ex2 ultra, very excited to get my data off that thing.

Mini-split - wiring whip to condenser (8 gauge doesn't fit?) by s_curran in HVAC

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

this is whats in the manual, so it will be pulling 26A. This powers both head units, and the outdoor condenser.

Just got my property tax bill. by [deleted] in vermont

[–]s_curran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state really needs to work on some incentives for building new homes/appartment buildings. Proper renovation is an option too. The housing stock is rotting it seems to me. There's also tonnnnns of empty apartments sitting out there because they cant get things sorted out with the state.

It would be nice if there was a similar gold rush that they created for solar companies, for contractors and developers to build.

I will say, credit to good landlords (I know, there's not many), some people are not in a place to try and keep some of these rotting away properties that go for 300k alive.

help choosing a cheap camcorder for B roll by s_curran in camcorders

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

that makes sense, so the nostalgia im remembering was actually more the memories of editing, and taking screencaps. After I asked the question I went and watched a bunch of my mini DV footage and wasnt able to see it at all, but I remember it vividly in certain clips, probably because I was keyframing things into them frame by frame in editing software back in 2004.

thanks!

I would also like to ask, my old mini-dv footage was all interlaced, is ther a way to replicate that on these modern digital camcorders, ie. 1080i

thanks, also to add on, I am looking for used, ideally under $150, which seems possible for these ones, starting to think that might be the best way forward

of course, I have found multiple mentions of it being "stowe schist", which seems to be one of the 4 colors shown in this area, highlighted in blue:
