I did the Vonage thing back when it first came out, then eventually landed on Ooma. Have had their service for -years- now. Basic service is “free”, as in $99 for the box initially and monthly fees amounting to about $4.

What about Connections? (both the old and new versions)… too sciency?

Yeah, I landed on CotEditor after trying quite a few.

Overnight? That must have been salty af. I salt, rinse, dry mine, but only for roughly 10min per 1/2” of thickness, adjusted to taste.

you misspelled profitable.

I can think of one…

I’m pretty sure Unraid relies purely on the drive serial to identify its position in the array (or cache). From docs.unraid.net:

Unraid identifies drives based on their serial numbers and sizes, not by the specific SATA ports they are connected to. This allows for flexibility in managing drives, as you can switch them between ports without affecting their assignments in the system.

i thought it was a misplaced tenforward post. :/

I’ve been using play:Sub for years (for subsonic, then airsonic).

Airsonic (fork of Subsonic) has worked well for me for a few years. Used Subsonic for many years prior. I mainly use play:Sub on IOS for playback, local/offline caching, etc.

Fyi, i -did- dissasemble the drive, remove the magnets from the head assembly, and scratched tf out of both sides of the platters. :)

Also, re the price, with the discount i paid the same for the drive i ordered that i paid for the same size/model last BF, although this one had twice the cache. :) :)

There are scripts to do this type thing on Unraid, possibly adaptable to other platforms/scenarios. Search for “unraid userscript move watched to array”.

There are even ones that will move an entire season or show over to your “fast” drive whenever you start watching a show.

I don’t have anything so complex in use currently; i just have it set to keep new stuff on the fast drives for 60 days, then shuffle it off to hdds.

As far as why ssd over hdd? Prob more of a power issue than a speed issue. Depending on how your storage is setup, it can save a bit if juice not having to spin up an array of hdds.

WD has a recycling deal where you can get 15% off your total purchase, once per quarter, by sending in any drive, working or not, to their recycling partner. I just did this with an old Maxtor 60gb 3.5” PATA drive. The shipping is free and it gets processed really quickly (e.g. it was actually delivered today and i already received -and-used- the discount code.

Note that theyre pretty clear/strict about no stacking of codes/discounts.

This. Had a mini since they were released and it’s been a low maintenance workhorse. Prusa adding input shaping, etc. via firmware was just icing on the cake.

Would you mind sharing/posting an STL/3MF for these?

Also, is that Galaxy Black filament?

I have both a brother laser and a brother multifunction inkjet. Both have been solid for many years. However, with the inkjet, due to infrequent use, i found that the cartridges a/o print head would get clogged/dried after a while. I solved this by setting up a scheduled print job on one of my machines that fires off once a week. That document has 4 1” solid squares, their colors corresponding to the cartridge colors. Since starting this, i’ve had zero clogging issues, and i just recycle the weekly prints as scratch paper for notes, etc.
