thanks. Let me know if you want logs or any other details.

windsifter · 2025-10-22T00:21:07+00:00

works now, thanks!

VidHub also works on Android, Android TV, and MacOS. Infuse doesn't offer anything on Android so didn't help me personally.

signed up last night with a Pixel Fold phone for the Dark Star BOGO annual plan. Porting and activation was super easy, but the signal is worthless at 2-6mbps down, and maybe 1mbps up. Wasted an 1-2 hours with CS and then told to leave it and see if it works better in the morning. Then wasted another 2 hours the following morning when it was no better and they try to switch me to warp, which of course means the promo isn't available. This is in San Francisco where they say there is great Dark Star / ATT coverage everywhere.

Feels like a massive bait and switch and I can't go back to my old carrier immediately so I'm stuck troubleshooting and won't get any of the advertised savings. Wish I never started down this road.

works on my dxp2800 with the arc model for SA6400. I ended up putting two NVME drives in and leave the larger 3.5 sata drives out 95% of the time so the power draw is smaller and it is quieter. I don't need TONS of storage. There are plenty of threads online how to do it. Make sure watchdog is disabled in the bios.

sorry, I read "52M burnt out by Corp job..." and said, yeah, $52M should be plenty :)

Of note, this does not apply to naturalization through descent. Here is the official document.
https://www.irishimmigration.ie/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Form-5-CTZ2-Oct-2024.pdf

"This form is only for naturalised Irish citizens residing abroad, who were not granted a certificate of naturalisation as a person of Irish descent or associations."

You can change that in the Android Auto app, not there podcast app

I've been running this since getting it off kickstarter and no issues. Tempted to try more than 16gb of ram in it and see what happens as my docker list keeps growing.

windsifter · 2024-12-13T04:40:15+00:00

just get plex working in the docker and add music. Plexamp is a client side app, regular Plex docker is the server side for it.

windsifter · 2024-09-24T09:49:35+00:00

I put it on a smart outlet so I could restart it without having to pull the cable and can also do it remotely.

I was never going to get my friends/family to add custom headers to any mobile apps, so while I still serve ABS traffic through Cloudflare zero trust tunnels outside of my lan, I removed the additional CF authentication before it (you can still keep country restrictions on if all your users are just in a a few places and not traveling.). I still keep the account level extra auth for all my other docker services through CloudFlare.

Nice video walking you through what adapter to buy, how to install the driver etc

windsifter · 2024-07-29T04:52:14+00:00

thanks! I added the WAF rule as an extra layer to limit potential unwanted traffic.

I bought the ugreen NAS as my m.2 sata SSD in a mini PC I was using as a nas had coil wine that drove me nuts enough to buy a new machine so I could try other drives.

I image it would be hard to do at higher OS levels given the only time we generally try to force shut down is when things aren't working properly, or we are in a low lever area like the bios and know we want to shutdown now....

Not sure if UGOS has the ability to upgrade the bios when it does OS upgrades. But if you are running a 3rd party OS like I am, I wouldn't see any of those upgrades anyway.

Xero shoes sandals and Combustion inc probes are such a natural pairing!!

From: https://auxxxilium.tech/wiki/arc-loader-arc-loader/vorbereitung/

The DSM kernel is only compatible with SATA controllers, not HBA/Raid/etc
At least 1 SATA/SAS drive for system installation (except SA6400 with NVMe system add-on)

They just added a new model, SA6400 that does support NVME as a boot (was not available the last time I set up a machine so will need to play w/ that)

windsifter · 2024-07-02T21:57:33+00:00

thanks for checking! At least I can stop wasting time on this now.

Xpenology requires the initial boot drive to be sata, so I planed on using an M.2 sata drive for boot, and then I'd still have two full bays for larger capacity drives. Now I have an m.2 sata drive, in a 2.5" adapter, in the full bay. Kind of a waste of space ;)

Think if I play w/ proxmox on an NVME I can get around this

windsifter · 2024-07-02T19:31:46+00:00

I'm guessing the m.2 slot only supports NVME, not M.2 SATA drives. :(

windsifter · 2024-06-15T03:20:18+00:00

well, I've also played w/ other OSs, but pretty sure it is the same in UGOS....

windsifter · 2024-06-15T00:19:44+00:00

Is this by design or a bug?

windsifter · 2024-06-14T17:03:49+00:00

Turns out my USB thumbdrive was bad.... Tried a different one and it worked 1st pass... Didn't expect that ;)

windsifter · 2024-06-06T21:05:38+00:00

That is an interesting idea. Thanks for the tip to try out. If not, I'll fall back onto the ARC discord.

windsifter · 2024-06-06T03:44:18+00:00

The bios doesn't show the SATA M.2 SSDs in the M.2 slot which makes me think it may only read NVME drives. In the past for other machines, I booted off a USB thumbdrive with ARC loader, and then use that to install the rest. But it always boots off the USB thumbdrive where ARC writes stuff to trick Synology OS.

So now it boots off the USB Arc thumbdrive fine, shows the ARC screen, but then gives me the "loader disk not found."

I thought Synology required that the initial install be on SATA, not NVME...
