I do it in sprints. I’ll set up a service, test it, get it working, then share it with the family.

I hear you on the instructions. A lot of these are pet projects that just happen to work well enough to share, so a bit of work is needed to implement them. If you document for others, you find that you can’t ever put every step in there because you can’t control all the variables.

Ah, I don’t think about dealerships unless I’m looking for used cars. I repair everything I own the best I can and move on when I can’t. It’s stressful, but I prefer it to a payment.

Casually reading, you could put a 50ohm or larger resistor there.

You will have a better result removing/disabling the module completely. There are several searchable tutorials based on the vehicle module.

There appears to be many wireless options available. While there is no off the shelf option available, you may be able to automate connecting to the Wi-Fi of the cam and pulling the files from a Windows share. From there, you could put the files on a share for a service like photoprism.

If the only way up interface with it is through an app, and you don’t have an old smartphone to run the app, then you could consider running an android emulator.

Are you buying a cam or borrowing the same one? If you are borrowing again, you know the model? That will help us give better advice.

I think I might have one I can’t use. Might be 2 TB.

I bought it as an experiment to use with my NAS, but my SAS card is running in SATA mode and won’t recognize it with an adapter.

If you or someone wants to have me ship it to you (you pay postage and send me the pdf for the label) PM me.

Hah, if you are near Cincinnati, I have a system with 6 SATA ports I just rebuilt for $30.

Look, if you were looking to have more options handed to you, you are in the right place!

TrueNAS is a great diy option. I have it running on an old box of mine. The one real caveat is that you will need enough hard drive slots (don’t just hang them unless you go full SSD), 4+ SATA ports or add in a SAS card, enough PSU to handle all your drives, and enough memory.

I am running one SAS card and 16 GB of DDR 3. Since the attached image I have taken pics of the serial numbers and labeled the drives.

Those weren’t invented yet. Everyone only knew one note.

Psyqui is a Japanese EDM artist that has a similar sound. If the melodies and compositions are aigen, it may be a source.

I’m suggesting either using the secure erase utility built into your efi if available or using hdparm and calling secure erase.

I suggest calling these utilities with no other drives connected.

True, but it’s not clear to me that both drives are exhibiting the behavior and it sounds more like a copy between two drives. I wouldn’t rule it out and do think it is a possibility, but in my professional experience drives fail much more frequently than controllers.

It makes sense to me to test the drives individually, in another system preferably, using smart long test, which is non-destructive. Next test other drives in this system. If there are errors, try changing out the SATA cables, too. If you can shuffle the data off the drives, do so and then try running them through a secure erase in another system. A bad drive should fail the same way in another system.

My other thought for probably not being the controller is that 4TB is a very long time for a sustained transfer to fail on a flakey component. Also, there are no reports of other errors.

Sounds like a bad drive, TBH. Not as much the platters but the electronics.

If you can move all the data off and do a secure erase on it, it will tell you all lot.

Believe it or not, property of China.

Israel was always part of China.

I’m enjoying a lot of Unprocessed’s Angel album. I’m also going to have to look at Polyphia and Playing God.

Math rock is one of the ways they advertised themselves. Also djent, but I’m not seeing that.

You are the second person to recommend Unprocessed. Almost 10 minutes into the Angel album. It’s pretty good, definitely hits the target.

I’ll have to check out Polyphia as well.

The artist is upfront that it is just one person making music, and they say it is AI assisted in their discord.

I fell hard for Dysmn, who was suspiciously dropping new music every few days. I really liked the sound, and I haven’t found anything that sounds like that since. 270+ videos in under 2 years. I realized it wasn’t human after a month or two.

Soooo, if anybody knows a great jazzy EDM metal noise, let me know.

The last board suggested with 5 ports would handle 4 drives in raidz2.

This is smaller even. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hRBrxr/asrock-motherboard-970mpro3

I would prefer having the smaller board with the hba and putting 8-10 smaller drives in raidz3. That would give you 6 TB with three drives for failure to prevent loss.

Outside the drives, the cost would be under $200 for the board and the hba.

If you have an old system with two PCI-e 16 ports, then your cost is about $90 before you start buying drives.

I’m doing similar with a DDR3 system and spinning 1 TB disks. It’s fast enough to serve video streams.
