Stupid drivers always breaking car, Gronk fix car...
i've been trying to figure out a problem specific to our airfiber5x radios, where single tcp is awful compared to the true throughput of the radio. there's a whole back and forth on various ubnt related forums about flow control (on), in-band management (off), multicast filtering (on) and it seems the issue doesn't happen when the interface is set to 100mb. another symptom? unfortunately, we need 150mb from the link. cables have been replaced, radios have gone direct to computers, netonix put in the loop, nothing seems to solve it.

one side is mikrotik 493g via 4 pair gigabit injector to af5x, other is netonix direct to af5x. the 'real' airfiber5 don't do it on the same cable but they don't do unii-1 and use twice the power for the same bandwidth.

ubnt ac doesn't do it, af11x doesn't do it, mimosa b5c/b11 doesn't do it, only the 5x. we have a few licensed links but they're kinda expensive when you only have 700 customers

i have a web forwarding thing set up through my Gandi domain and lately its been crapping out on me. StatusCake, which checks the subdomain that i redirect from, keeps spamming me about it being down (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT). going straight to the outside azure url works so i know the actual site is up, and www.[mydomain].com works so it seems to be something strictly with the forwarding.

is this just something fucky with Gandi or is there some setting somewhere i should be looking for on azure/gandi? im guessing its Gandi since up until about last month everything seemed to be working fine.

you can set up s3 or cloudfrot to do forwarding, use those or see if azure can instead of some jank bull poo poo from your registrar

so im positive I had a hard drive failure, but I cant confirm because when the drive is plugged in, it inhibits doing poo poo in windows on it, in disk manager

whats the best way of finding out if it is indeed a) compeltely hosed b) data is hosed but drive itself useable c) can recover data?

Since it could be in the process of destroying itself, I'd say your first course of action would be to boot in to something like clonezilla and do a block by block copy of it out to an image or other disk. The longer you mess with it, the more likely you're going to lose more data.

boot into an linux
use gddrescue to make an image of the disk
work from there to recover the files with recovery tools, if needed

never ever work with recovery tools on the original disk

Every once in a while I look at Backblaze's drive reliability reports since they use whatever they can get from the consumer tier that hits good $/TB numbers and there doesn't seem to be any consistent patterns with vendor failure rates. One specific capacity in a gen will have terrible numbers while the others are fine and similar capacities from a different vendor are fine while another is not. Then the next year it all jumbles around again. By the time you know a specific model is hosed, they're already on to higher capacities and you probably aren't buying those anyway.

Just buy something with an OK warranty and have backups. If you need more reliability, step up to SAS or NL-SAS.

yeah that’s definitely a thing. i remember 320GB and 640GB drives being particularly bad across a couple vendors but the 500GB/1TB being fine even within the same product lines.

i’m glad i got fast internet so i can use exclusively flash drives nowadays and don’t have to worry about that poo poo. and if you’re enterprise, backups and warranties take care of that, so there’s just no reason to sperg about it any more.

Hey this is kinda a dumb question but I have a rain barrel off in a corner of the house where I can't pull an outlet easily so I'm looking at DC water pumps + a deep cycle lead acid battery that I can just mule out and charge so I can run the sprinkler off the thing and I don't have any idea how many GPM/PSI of a pump (I guess 60ish is normal) I would need to run a sprinkler well and if that means the pump would need a massive battery and it isn't worth the effort over burying and outdoor circuit. I dunno, just spitballing like a dumb gently caress here.

It's a 55gal/~200l barrel and I can get cheapo 6l/m DC pumps for like $15 and that would drain the thing in like 30 min so I think that would work and I wouldn't need an absurdly big battery since that's like 3aH total work. I have no idea what kind of flow rate to expect out a standard yard sprinkler head though.

6l/m is going to be with no pressure on the output, expect half of that with a reasonable restriction (i.e. sprinkler heads)

also keep in mind that lead acid batteries can really only give half their capacity before you start murdering it in a way that is unrecoverable

if you buy a 105 AH marine battery expect about 60 AH per charge before its too far

I think it has to do with the number of platters, less is better for reliability iirc.

i just broke out my oldass original xbox and i'm really pumped up about it but the cable i have outputs to a/v cables. does anyone remember what the best output format was for these old things? is it component? does a normal xbox do hdmi or is that like a crappy mod thing that won't work right?

i'd google it myself but xboxes are named in such a way that its really hard to google for older kinds of xbox

Original dat Xbox didn't have digital video output iirc.

Best option is VGA but your Xbox needs mods for that. Next best is component. In Europe RGB scart is a good option.
