I recently encountered an error with my router that required a factory reset in order to fix. I figured since I was already resetting everything, I’d might as well reorganize my network. I switched from 192 to 10 based IPs. I got all my devices configured and everything connects to the internet fine, no hiccups anywhere,...
Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Router defaults to that so it’s what I put in on all the machines I’m trying to connect. Devices are all on the same time and zone. I’ve updated all the machines as much as I can, though all three devices fail KB5034441 with download error 0x80070643, but this shouldn’t be the problem since they were doing this before the problem arose as well. Shouldn’t, but I guess it could be since this is Windows. All 3 (share device, main PC tested and verified prior to reconfiguration, laptop) are Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045.4355.
I have checked that numerous times. The network is set to private. Sometimes it switches to Public if I turn on my VPN, but for testing purposes I’ve disabled that until I can successfully access a file share. One step at a time.
I flushed my DNS records and flipped a couple settings off, but no change. I’ll experiment with DNS more by removing it from the equation when I have time. Thanks for the suggestion.
It was unfortunate, but not unexpected. Neo Launcher is a decent alternative, though it’s not quite on par with Nova, and their development has been very slow the last year. Benefit of GrapheneOS, I can just disable Nova’s network access, so I don’t really have to compromise here thankfully.
I want to build a proper server with room for 40+ HDDs to move my media server to and have RAID 1. I know a lot about PCs and software, but when it comes to server hardware I have no clue what I’m doing. How would I go about building a server that has access to 40+ RAID 1’d HDDs?
With 140TB+ of existing data, I would need 16 18TB HDDs to have RAID 1, and I also need the ability to expand. Really, I just need to have all the data accessible over the network so I can manage it from my main PC and stream it via a Plex/Jellyfin server. Maybe 4 smaller DIY NAS systems accessed by a separate system? I would really prefer no proprietary software if I can avoid it, and enterprise is out of my price range after I’ll be spending $3,000+ on HDDs.
The data is currently stored on external drives, but once I’ve got the new setup with RAID I’ll erase the drives and sell to friends, or use in other projects like an emulation station. 15+ wall plugs is excessive.
Doesn’t that keep more than two copies? RAID 1 is expensive enough as is. I just need to be able to pop in a replacement drive if one fails so I don’t lose data.
I’ll have to watch a video on it later, I assumed having a 1:1 backup was the most efficient backup method possible without compression. I don’t plan on utilizing every drive at once, and I don’t plan on having more than 20 to start with, but it won’t be much more than I already have, so I should be okay to start. I just want to make sure there room for expansion in the future. I don’t need all 40 immediately. My UPS will tell me how much power I’m drawing, right?
I’ll have to watch a video later I guess. I know it’s possible to lose a drive while it’s rebuilding, but it’s improbable, and I figured it takes more space, I’m okay taking that risk since I’m not handling irreplaceable data, just my personal TV/movie archive for now. But if it can save space, I’ll have to consider it.
Wow. I’m totally shocked that Facebook would launch a free VPN out of nowhere and then use it for nefarious purposes. I was sure they just wanted to help humanity. /s

If encoded as Full Side by Side, 3D Blu-ray content can be viewed in 3D with VR headsets instead of finding a 3D compatible TV or using a compatible projector. I’m not an expert on it and I’ve never used it since I have a 3D TV, but I’m assuming this is what the feature was for. And porn.
I don’t think they make many, if any, 3D capable TVs anymore, at least in the US. Might be a different story overseas where the 3D tech took off a bit more. The files weren’t too hard to find using entry-level private trackers and forums. I have an almost complete digital collection of Half Side by Side for use with my 3D TV, and I know that people were somewhat frequently posting FSBS encodes for use with VR headsets. The two formats are actually totally different, HSBS uses half of the picture on each half of the screen for the TV to combine (or something similar) so it’s 3D when the glasses do their thing, whereas FSBS uses an entire image on each side, one for each eye. It’s a massive PITA for preservation since compatibility with both requires two copies of the same thing, often totaling more than 30GB for good quality.
Yeah, because when I go I count at least five blindingly bright phones in use during the fucking film. If I’m going to have a sub-par experience, I’m not overpaying for popcorn and soda, too. I’d rather wait for physical or streaming.
