Hello, currently, I use daita to get around a certain ISP throttling video playback and it works pretty well for me, I use multi hop to connect to a server unsupported by daita, using daita. There’s one issue though. By default, it will route me through 1 of 2 different servers (We’ll call them 101 and 102, not actually what they’re called.) I’ve noticed that when connected to 102, everything is much slower, and I often randomly disconnect. 101 is very fast and I notice no issues. There’s literally no way to change it to only go through 101, it’s completely random, so I’ll have to disconnect and reconnect until it goes to 101. Also, sometimes when i’m on 101, it will randomly revert to 102! This is ridiculous and we the people should be able to choose!

I am I missing something whenever I want to watch YouTube with newpipe and I want to use a VPN the only ones that seem to work with the app is us based servers anytime I try to use one from the EU or elsewhere I get an error in the app. Similar issues happen with Reddit where when I use a vpn why posts are being shadowbanned or removed. Before you ask NO, I am not breaking any subreddit rules with those posts that get removed or shadowbanned they are innocuous question posts.

Hello,

I am considering investing in a tape backup for my homelab. I have important business and personal files that I want to preserve.

I have been looking at the Dell PowerVault 124T LTO6-140 Automatic Library. I have a few questions for anyone who knows about these things:

1. Which internal tape drives are compatible with the above library? Any chance I can add an LTO6 or LTO7 drive to it? Or am I limited to an LOT5 drive?
2. Can I install a drive from a different vendor than Dell?
3. The manual shows that I have to connect the SAS cable and an Ethernet cable to my computer; Is the Ethernet just for management, or is it needed to actually conduct backups?
4. Is it possible to use LTO5 tapes with an LTO6 drive? I understand I would get less storage; the question is more on backwards compatibility.
5. I am planning on connecting the Tape Library to my ProxMox server with a dedicated SSD as a buffer. Is it possible to pause between tape changes to refill the SSD?

Hey all,

I'm really stuck and hoping for some advice. I recently got a couple of 28TB Seagate Exos recertified drives(ST28000NM000C) , but no matter what I try, I can't get them to work. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Tried installing them in a regular HDD bay—didn't work.

Put them into a TerraMaster DAS enclosure—still nothing.

Bought a brand new UGREEN NASync DXP4800 thinking it might be an enclosure compatibility issue—but whenever I insert these drives, I just get repeated beeps and the drives aren’t detected.

Other drives (smaller capacities, other brands) work fine in all these devices, so I'm struggling to figure out if these Seagate drives are the problem, or if there’s something else I'm missing about handling very large recertified disks.

If anyone has experience with high-capacity recertified Seagate drives or similar errors (especially if you’ve made them work in any of the above setups), I’d really appreciate your insight. Happy to provide more details or test suggestions if needed.

Thanks in advance!

So I bought a Seagate (Recertified) Exos X 22TB from their ebay store cause in the Conditions it lists backed by a one year warranty. Well the drive died after 3 months. I did contact Seagate and the stated it is not covered and I must contact the seller. When I msg them to get a replacement I was told oh sorry we only give 30 days. After pointing out it stated 1 year the reply was oh you have to go thru ebay/alstate. When I looked up my alstate account they stated that the seller (Newegg) never file the sale. So I'm out my money and now have a paper weight.

Long story short, hard drive was acting reaaaal slow. I still don't quite understand everything in CrystalDiskInfo. It still said "Good," but looking at the graphs, I think it was the Read Error Rate I saw going up. I didn't want to risk it, got a replacement drive and spent the next few days attempting to transfer whatever I could.

It was quite a process, things were extremely slow or would freeze up. Windows started repairing the drive every boot. No matter what, Clonezilla kept saying I needed to run chkdsk, and whichever drive I had connected to my external adapter would disappear after every failed attempt with Clonezilla.

Towards the end of the troubleshooting that I finally took a good look at the SATA cable. The end connected to the hard drive was a 90 degree connector, but it was definitely more like 100 degrees now. I swapped the cable, connected both source and target drive internally. For the "failing" disk, I was now getting "Disk offline because it has signature collision with another disk online," but could now successfully clone using HDD Raw Copy Tool. I've not combed through all the data, but so far, so good.

Now I am left wondering if there was really anything wrong with the original hard drive in the first place. It was one of my newer drives and was supposedly a little more robust being an Ironwolf NAS drive. I'll hopefully figure out a good way to test the drive, because it would fit nicely in my Unraid box.

Moral of the story, check your SATA cables, kids.
