I lucked out on a 6 bay QNAP on eBay for dirt cheap. It had the i5 processor with 8gb of RAM.

$45 later and I had 16gb to upgrade the RAM.

B&H had a deal for $88 for the 2x M.2 2280 SATA expansion card and went with 4tb of SATA SSD for another $200.

I changed my share settings to move everything to the array, stopped docker and VMs and kicked off mover. Let that run overnight and when finished I just shut it all down.

Upgrading the QNAP was simple enough, just open the case and drop in the two sticks. I did find a firmware update that I applied to the QNAP via usb.

I did need to change the boot order to boot off the usb instead of the internal usb that contains the QNAP OS.

I am through wiring 6 outlets on my porch and was wondering how to test that everything is good before making it hot.

My best guess is to check for continuity for ground, hot and neutral through the entire circuit, check for any continuity between all three and then what? Ohm resistance? I’m assuming it should be low for all 3 wires. With about 40ft total of 12 gauge what would that be? My calculation is something like < .07ohms.

I was considering using a small ups to make the circuit live as I figure any faults would trip it. Bad idea? I was thinking it would output a static voltage and I could check for drop along the circuit.

Does anyone know if it is feasible to split the output of a concealed duct indoor unit to split its output through a Y duct to two adjoining rooms?

I am trying to figure out how many zones I will need and thought that this might work better instead of adding an additional indoor unit and needing to upsize to a 5 zone outdoor unit.

2023 Y v12 w/13.2 and 2025.8.7 on standard autopilot.

Had a 2 hour road trip and let FSD take control most of the way.

One thing I noticed that others have mentioned was that the speed limit changes didn’t register in the UI however the speed did adjust correctly. The speed limit went from 55 to 45 to 35 and the car slowed down correctly but the displayed speed limit stayed at 55 the entire time.

Another note was that even on the highway with a 70mph limit it would sometimes drift down to 61. No traffic, no vehicles blocking the way it would just decide to slow down. It went anywhere from 61 to 78(max set speed) with no rhyme or reason.

That being said, the drive was very fluid and h

My turn on the soapbox. Mom is 78 and recently had a few falls, COVID, pneumonia and flu with a roaring UTI and ended up in the hospital then rehab for 2 months total. She has been home now for the last few weeks and is doing OK. She has PT and OT and refuses to do any of their homework. She thinks she is fully capable of things like shopping, doing laundry, making the bed, etc. but gets winded and exhausted just walking down the hallway. She is a fall risk and even though I try explaining to her that she needs to minimize the things that can and have made her fall before, she just ignores me.

Her doctor even laid out what would happen and how one bad fall would pretty much end her lif

TLDR; it went perfectly.

I moved from an old i5-6600/32gb ex-gaming PC to a dual Xeon silver 4114/128gb in a Dell T7820 case.

I simply shut down the old system and moved the 4 drives plus the 2tb cache m.2 to the new case, installed my 1080GTX inserted the USB internally on the board and booted it up. It took a bit to get into the bios and set the boot order but once done it came right up. Nothing was missing and everything just worked. I was very impressed.

It is funny though seeing all 20 cores available. I need to research if it is worth having hyper threading enabled or not.

I asked the spouse what she wanted breadwise and for this week she wanted English muffins. I doubted my ability to make muffins but did find an English muffin bread recipe.

It is very tasty. I still had the final slice of my egg bread success and the texture and pattern of the bread is different even. This one has a better flavor I think and even untoasted is heavenly with some softened Irish butter.

Her verdict was 'hmrss mhreeely hruud' as she chewed her last bite. I think it's a winner.

We have guests this week so I think cinnamon rolls are gonna happen.

Found a 20 year old Goldstar that mom had in a cabinet, downloaded the manual and gave it a shot with the egg bread recipe they had.

First attempt looked like a wadded up pile of cardboard. Learned that when they said yeast, you needed to actually activate the yeast.

Second attempt rose... and collapsed. Very dense, still good flavor. I think I added too much yeast or maybe too much sugar.

I figured that maybe I should try a different recipe so I went with the one from the yeast manufacturer, Fleischmann's. That seemed to do the trick. Also used their bread machine yeast.

UPDATE: So, I brushed off Excel and built a spreadsheet to try and get an eye for the domestic/International Stock/Bond holdings of everything and then tried to look at all accounts as a whole.

It was a good exercise and made me actually look at the holdings of the different funds.

I mispoke about individual bonds, she had 200K in individual and 200K in PDBZX plus some of those other funds bringing her to 500K in bonds.

The end result should be 46% Domestic Stock,

Looking to stock up on some 45 Colt and the only thing less than $1cpr is this Oak Island stuff at $449 for 500rds. I have never heard of it before and would like to know if anyone else had any experience with them. Oak Island is a subsidiary of Anderson Arms.

EDIT: Un-freaking-believable... my local range had it for $0.33/round.

I make my wife speak to my little pins and tell them how big they are getting every day. I figure the good energy can't hurt. That made me wonder if anyone has ever done any testing on music to grow by. I know for house plants they like certain types of music.
