Yep, I understand that. I didn’t know if RAID 6, having parity bits, would be able to repair a file from that data. I figured being RAID would protect it from corruption but apparently not. I didn’t overwrite the file with a bad one, it just stopped working.

 

I have a RAID 6 volume with data protection on my DS1621+. A video file seems to have become corrupt - it worked in Plex a few months ago but now it won’t play at all. I’ve tried in VLC, the built-in DSM video player - nothing seems to work. No other files appear to be corrupt, all drives show as Healthy.

Is it possible to repair the file, and if so how would I do that? My research seems to only find results where an entire volume is corrupt. In this case I’d like to just recover a single file.

 

Apologies if this is a common question - Lemmy search leaves a little to be desired still.

How exactly does a Thread border router talk to edge devices? Do they talk directly, device-to-device or will a border router utilize the 2.4GHz radios in my APs to extend its range?

First you have to convince him that the earth is more than 8000 years old.

The Fn and Carl keys can be switched in software. I have a work-issued Lenovo with a similar layout. They can be soft-swapped in the BIOS. There’s also a desktop utility to do the same but I don’t know if they have a Linux version of it. I totally agree, the physical layout is annoying but it has a simple fix.

Then this is false advertising and a class-action lawsuit that should have already happened.

This Arstechnica article seems to confirm that they can't decrypt without user intervention and that they have only ever supplied metadata to law enforcement. I'm no fan of Meta but do you have sources that they have in fact decrypted actual message content at the request of law enforcement?

No disagreement there. I could have clarified, my comment was in regard to message content only. I didn't realize that about metadata and certainly am not defending Meta. I'd prefer Signal over anything else but as others have mentioned, getting friends and family to adopt is painful.

It’s still E2EE, as far as I know. Meta could always remove that feature but until they do, I’d consider it a safe and private messaging platform.

SMB3 - same as before this morning's update.

In any case, I figured out my syntax was wrong for mounting an NFS share. Fixed that and I'm now able to mount the same folders to the same mount point using NFS so I guess that's a suitable workaround.

 

This morning I updated my DS1621+ from DSM 7.1.1-42962 U6 to DSM 7.2-64570 U1. After the update I am no longer able to access shared folders from my Ubuntu machine. All errors in terminal and Portainer indicate "access denied", though no passwords have changed, and I am still able to access the shared folders from Windows. I am mounting shared folders with SMB but also tried NFS when SMB stopped working, as that appears to potentially be easier to manage (no usernames/passwords?).

Any help or direction to a fix is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Realized I had a typo in my mount command for mounting an NFS share - I was using ip.address:/shared_folder instead of ip.addres:/volume_name/shared_folder. Fixed that and now have no problems using NFS to mount the shared folders to the same mount point as before, so for me that's a suitable workaround and presumably a better solution than SMB anyway, since both client and server are Linux OSes anyway.

Short answer: no

Long answer: the percentage of drivers that are outrageously bad at driving is probably a fraction of a percent. This still equates to a very large number of drivers, but there is also very much a bias at play. You only ever see videos of shitty drivers and probably never see videos of good drivers which skews your view of how good or bad the general population is at driving.

All this to say, yes there are a very large number of lethally dangerous drivers, but several orders of magnitude more drivers who are not. You just don’t notice them because they aren’t bad drivers.

This is fantastic news. I’m currently using HomeKit + Homebridge for all my smarthome stuff but I have HA Core running on a Proxmox host in the event I need/want to migrate. Apple continues to let me down year after year with their minimal Home updates but convincing my family to switch is a hurdle I’m not ready to tackle yet.

Neither is Firefox. That's the joke...
