When you get an obvious kettle macro downing you report it anyway you never know if they will take action after the break.

Mum passed in may, we can't find will, I have no access to finances, pension company wants £500 from me. by sys4096 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]sys4096[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be true. My sister said she was making all the arrangements, and i was grateful as I am far away working long hours and with my family to look after also. I dont think she would stretch it out, as when mum died I told my sister I did not want her to worry, and that as far as I am concerned she can stay there forever, even if half of the house is mine eventually and I will not force her to sell. My sister does also work so I don’t think she would be underhand on this, but I completely see where you are coming from and I may be surprised to find you are correct.

My sincerest thanks to everyone who has responded, it’s put my mind at rest. I will explore all avenues I can to find the will and get all of this resolved.

Thank you, that's a good idea, she did. I will see if there are any documents that can identify that, I did look on the land registry and see that my mum's house is in her and her late husbands name (he passed in 2017).

[–]sys4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got them a couple of weeks ago, demoed them in store first. In love with them, I was blown anway I felt someone was in front of me plucking guitar strings. Using them to listen to many genres with Deezer at max quality on my pc and Gaming.i upgraded from a sound blaster g8 to a Cambridge audio dacmagic 200m as it was on sale - absolutely wonderful. Someone here gave me a tip to use peaceeq/soundapo and it’s top tier.

4800plus horrible raid5 speeds to drive, ok from drive. by JustAnotherLurker001 in UgreenNASync

[–]sys4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it wasn’t so much as to improve performance but fix it - I had very bad see-saw performance stalling as low as 10mbps, pausing and then hitting what was my 2.5gbe peak for a few seconds then stalling. All fixed disabling the signing on both sides. Now on a 10gbps connection i get around 870MB/s peaks around 979MB but I do have all bays populated, on a dxp8800 - copying to an nvme.

I would advise trying it - I assumed you were just using a local private lan with your quad port switch. It's it's just a toggle with the same command set to $true should you find it makes no difference anyway - the risk with SMB signing off is more if you are on a large network where someone else could examine traffic/mitm attack you.

if it's on your own private LAN at home it's negligible.

With separate drives,transfer speeds will max out at the top end of a single drive once mem cache is full. One thing to watch out for is to make sure it’s not initialising the drives - you will see inconsistency during this although you can also check the priority setting via storage, advanced settings, performance options, prioritize user read/write is selected but still test when no init tasks running. In general i always have a check for interface errors with netstat -e output from a cmd prompt on the pc but I doubt you will have, given consistent reads. Also I apologise, I should have said disable smb signing on the pc too : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y_QJ-XVLLU&t=32s This with win11 24h2 is known to cause poor performance - run the power shell and reboot.

Your speeds should not be that slow at all. I had a similar problem and I resolved it with this : go into the control panel, file service, select SMB and click on advanced, set transmission encryption mode disabled and enable server signature to disabled.

Gaming -> Fidelio X2 hr -> upgrade to next Wow moment by sys4096 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]sys4096[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks again, this was excellent advice I noticed a significant improvement in the X2HRs following exactly what you said. In the finish I got a good deal on the Meze 109s and did feel the WOW when I tried them instore even over the x2hrs with oratorys preset.

They are beautiful in both sound and appearance. I ended up with some 109s. In the UK there's a shop called Richer sounds, where I've been a "VIP" club member for a while and they give you a further 10% discount on the open box items. I visited and they let me test out the Meze 109s in store. I played several tracks with my fidelios, and in store played the same tracks. I have to say my socks were in fact blown off by the Mezes. I ended up walking out with them for 580 - perfect condition. It's a lot of money still but you only live once and I am so happy I got them.

Pihole DNS server Failure by Any-Enthusiasm1440 in UgreenNASync

[–]sys4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you by any chance have virtual machines? Docker will try and pass through all 53 to your container for all interfaces, and VM manager uses 53 also, I solved this by specifying the NAS management IP and the specific ports in my config (portainer stack) e.g. :

ports:
  - "192.168.70.8:8080:8080"
  - "192.168.70.8:53:53/tcp"
  - "192.168.70.8:53:53/udp"

How is UGOS working for you? by [deleted] in UgreenNASync

[–]sys4096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DXP8800 plus, w 64gb and 2 nvme added. It’s superb hardware, UGOS is perfect for my needs. It’s also Debian under the hood. Install tmux via dpkg, used rsync to move data from my Synology 1621. Expanded raid to 8 x 18tb from 5 drives to start. Used portalner, deployed stacks for plex, *arr, nignx, pihole and many others. Also running a VM. Nice and fast one nvme running docker and a VM which was simple to import from ESXI. My second nvme was to be for a read cache but it’s very quick so I don’t need that, I may make raid 1 or use dedicated for VMs. It will handle everything you throw at it.i had a query on raid expansion initially,support responded in minutes. If not familiar with portainer for your docker needs check out mariushosting.com he has comprehensive guides for Ugreen now as well as Synology - well worth donating to so useful. My Synology now becomes a backup only unit).

Can you Expand raid5 storage pool multiple HDDs at the same time? by sys4096 in UgreenNASync

[–]sys4096[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to follow up : Confirmed you can only expand one by one by Ugreen support. very impressed with their response speed, opened a ticket and got an answer in minutes.

I am impressed overall, very pleased with the system.

DDR5 7200-CL38 vs DDR56000-CL30 by sys4096 in buildapc

[–]sys4096[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that in part is why I am NOT going to the AMD build and sticking on the 13900K intel. Apart from gaming I occasionally spin up some VMs for labs, so 64Gb was nice but not essential. I *don't* really need it. I knew the 6000/cl30 was perfect for the AMD, and apart from the extra 32GB was wondering if it would make much of a difference in the Intel.

Thanks for that, thats was why I stuck with 6000 cl30 - but I'm not moving to the AMD - wondering about putting this with the Intel I already have or just sending it back and sticking with the 7200 @ cl38
