I did not install SANs, I built racks for AV so the only drives were NAS/mini PCs on shelves

Absolutely on that point. Same goes for heavy multi zone amplifiers.

Man I loved building racks. Almost makes me miss field work…

Back when I built racks, our “standard” was UPS at the bottom, all drives at the top…but mainly for accessibility. Hadn’t even thought about vibrations or interference!

I took a look and didn’t see domains mentioned until you go to the members login page. It’s not even on the sign up page.

So, uh, maybe go take a look at the link you’re posting. And also don’t write “pay for what you use” when someone is asking about buying a domain if you don’t want people to think you misunderstood the question

Too bad it’s not just one thing

Of all the bots on lemmy, this one has got to be the most annoying.

I’ve been running Plex for like a decade and never had the database get corrupted… What was your setup?

If it’s a premade patch cable…good fuckin luck. It’s possible but they’re usually too thin and flexible to recrimp without a bunch of attempts. Bulk wire is a lot stiffer and maintains its shape.

Are you using pass through (EZ) connectors? That makes it a ton easier.

Damn, that was my only idea

How about a shared calendar you both subscribe to?

If you want to drop Sonos entirely, there’s still a market for even their S1 line of products. eBay time!

I’d like to piggyback on this as I inherited tons of S1 gear (4 Amps, 6 Connects) from a client years ago that I’m considering installing when I move…

The big selling point for me is its ability to seamlessly group zones together. For anyone who has achieved that without Sonos, what are you using? I need 2 (or more) sources that can be played at the same time in different zones and I absolutely do not want volume controls on the wall.

[Edit] I also love having my local and streaming sources in the same app as my zone selection

We didn’t actually identify the problem at all! My boss had the electrical knowledge and couldn’t find anything wrong with the line. But as for contacting ComEd, I never had to call them myself but I’m sure he has some special industry phone number he can call for that sort of stuff. Or at least knew someone who did, he has tons of friends in every trade

Oh man I went through this a few years ago…though I doubt it’s the same problem.

I was a custom integrator and one of my clients had a beeping UPS. Unstable incoming voltage. Ok, not the first one of these to kick the bucket so I do the RMA.

Later that same week I’m at a different client for the same thing. Call my boss and tell him we should start looking at other manufacturers, he agrees.

RMA arrived and I install it. Later that day the client calls…the beeping is back. I call my boss and he’s at yet another house dealing with the same thing.

“Wait…you’re at [client]'s? That’s a few blocks away. And so are [other 2 clients]. Are we sure it’s the UPS…?”

TURNS OUT IT WASN’T! There was something fucky with the neighborhood grid (the transformer? node? I don’t know, I’m not an electrician). We talked to ComEd, they and a few weeks later they did some repairs. No more problems.

Thanks for the tip, I actually didn’t know that! I used GoDaddy until Gandi and I’ve been using them ever since.

I renewed one of my domains in a panic because auto renew somehow turned off and yeah…wish I didn’t panic because Gandi is expensive as hell now. Guess I’ll move everything in a year

I bought one from a microcenter two months ago. They were out of 4gb but had dozens of 8gb
