that is absolutely true and also 640Kb RAM should be enough for everyone 😂

all the hours and countless reboots spent optimizing config.sys and autoexec.bat to achieve 50kb more of available memory… good memories 🙂

edlin was my favorite for a long time 🙂

Edlin is a line editor, and the only text editor provided with early versions of IBM PC DOS,[1] MS-DOS and OS/2.[2] Although superseded in MS-DOS 5.0 and later by the full-screen MS-DOS Editor, and by Notepad in Microsoft Windows, it continues to be included in the 32-bit versions of current Microsoft operating systems.

sorry, since you asked a question I just felt the need to clarify 🙂

The ISP products you mentioned really don’t seem consumer-friendly. I understand that ISPs might benefit from setting byte limits, since they incur costs for both inbound and outbound traffic to transit providers. However, from a consumer perspective, it’s a poor deal—especially since most people don’t have the tools to manage their usage effectively and can burn through their quota far too quickly, just like you pointed out.

It all comes down to costs and earnings in the end for all products unfortunately.

I do not work there, just referenced the terms of conditions from their website, so you need to ask them the questions, but I think having a 1Gb connection with 30TB of seeding will eat up that pretty fast either way and also cause a mayhem of incoming connections, so it can hardly be considered private use (based on their definition)

Again, I have no reference to the company, so all questions should be forwarded to them not me. I simply gave a possible reasoning of the ban from their terms.

edit: added info about their definition of private use

you probably broke this part of the terms of service…

probably have/had an office at that location so it would still see German based, but yes, does not look good, or it “does” until you know …

that one was made in Russia according to the printed text…and in October 2022 if I read the date stamp correctly? and LEDVANCE is a company name, not product name, it was splitted out of OSRAMS LED division in 2016.

Ledvance GmbH, headquartered in Garching bei München, Germany, is a general lighting and smart home technology company. It was established in 2016 as a spin-off from Osram Licht AG. Since April 2018, Ledvance has been wholly owned by Chinese lighting company MLS.[3] …

In April 2015, it was announced that Osram would divest its general lighting lamp business, which accounted for just over one-third of its workforce. In June 2015, the supervisory board of Osram Licht AG agreed to the divestment of their lamp division with products such as LED lamps, halogen lamps, and compact fluorescent lamps.[4][5] This divested division has been operating as a legally independent company under the name Ledvance since April 2016.

At the end of July 2016, Osram announced that Ledvance would be sold for more than €500 million[8] to a Chinese consortium consisting of investor IDG Capital, LED packaging manufacturer MLS, and Yiwu. The sale was completed on 3 March 2017, with economic effect as of 1 March 2017.[9][10][11] Due to the takeover, MLS gained distribution networks in Europe and the United States.[12][13] Since April 2018, MLS has been the sole owner of Ledvance

not sure you can make OSRAM responsible for what a Chinese company does in Russia?

edit: should have updated the text on thought, but perhaps not the first priority or something considered important in Russia.

Alright, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of Duckpower.

First, let’s settle the “waddling vs. flying vs. swimming” debate. Horses aren’t big on flying, so we’re talking waddling power here. Until someone locates a Pegasus, we’re limited to the traditional land-bound horsepower. If you want swimming power, I guess you’d need to measure a seahorse?

Now, here’s where it gets serious: according to the brilliant minds at Art of Engineering, we can calculate Duckpower using a clever formula. They took the mass of a duck, compared it to a horse, and ran it through Kleiber’s Law. The answer? One horsepower = 131.2 Duckpower. So, back to our math:

3 horsepower = 3 x 131.2 Duckpower = 393.6 ducks waddling their hearts out.

But wait! We probably don’t need all 393.6 ducks if we give them some solid shift schedules. Horses only get 3 HP so two can rest; following this logic, we’d only need around 100 well-rested ducks, provided they get naps and stay hydrated.

So, let’s optimize our duck workforce with a shift schedule. Assuming we only need 100 ducks, here’s the plan:

Duckpower Shift Schedule:

Total Ducks: 100

Working Ducks per Shift: 25

Shift Duration: 2 hours on, 6 hours off (plenty of time for snacks and naps)

In a day, we’d run 4 shifts like this:

1. Shift 1: 25 ducks start strong at 8:00 AM, waddling with purpose.

2. Shift 2: Fresh 25 ducks take over at 10:00 AM while Shift 1 ducks hit the ducky lounge for snacks and a nap.

3. Shift 3: At 12:00 PM, another 25 ducks clock in to keep those wheels turning.

4. Shift 4: Finally, at 2:00 PM, the last 25 ducks take over while the others catch up on R&R.

With this cycle, each duck works only 2 hours out of every 8, staying energized, waddling at peak efficiency, and ready for action.

TL;DR: 3 horsepower = 393.6 ducks waddling but if we set up a 4-shift system, we can pull this off with only 100 ducks working 2 hours each, plus snack breaks.

3 horses = 3 horsepower, which translates to a whopping 393.6 Duckpower.

Honestly, why are we still using horses as the standard here? Ducks are clearly the superior metric. So if you’re like me and prefer a more feathered approach, just remember:

3 horses = 3 horsepower = 393.6 ducks You’re welcome.

(PS: Just imagine 393.6 ducks handling 10Gb… now that’s efficiency.)

no worries! 🙂

crossing my fingers for you while we wait 😄

No worries, however I cannot see the SATA marking on yours, just the SAS, or perhaps I am blind, changed contact model today…but please double check before ordering.

And yes, Dell does not manufacture hard drives, so it’s almost 100% a OEM rebranding.

if however, it is this drive it should support SATA

https://www.minitool.com/backup-tips/sas-hard-drive.html?amp

you can, if you read my edited post, as long as the SATA logo is present on the label of the sas drive

as mentioned in the description of the product

there is cheap controllers as well btw:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExfUSap

lots of cheap electronics for all your needs over there :)

sorry if I misunderstood, but wasn’t his drive sas, and he needed to go to sata connections? this does that.

sas hdd => sata controller connetions

the converter is not the culprit, the drive needs a sata logo on the label for it to work the other way, which is mentioned on the sales page.

if the drive had that logo or not is not mentioned as far as I can see

(edit, thought it was OP replying at first, so changed that, and added requirements for the adapter)

Haven’t tried it myself, but there is cheap converters available on AliExpress:

Might be worth it to avoid using it as a paperweight?

replying to myself here, but also, if this where supposed to work, which I doubt it will because it’s not feasible with tcpip, your second router would need to have the first router as gateway, but that is not possible when they are on the same subnet, and also your router will most likely not allow it because nat/routing will break, but if this was possible, devices behind your second router would not be able to connect to the devices before and vice versa, because since they have the same subnet, the traffic is considered local and not going through the router, and therefore the will not see each other as the NAT provides a separation between the networks…

you cannot use a router as a switch without using routing and different subnets … so … you might want to reconsider your design

Might be conflicts due to several routers using the same subnet… could cause some interesting ARP issues for the switches, and also DHCP conflicts if something is wrongly cabled / configured.

I would try disconnecting everything from after the first switch, connect a computer there to see if it works ok, then reconnect and test behind each step to see where it breaks instead of checking in the end where the problem could be agitated from a issue earlier in the network…

also, if the router has a firewall/nat you will not be able to reach anything behind it, even if there are different subnets being used… to be able to reach devices behind a router, the network would need to be routed and not nat’ed as nat combines all network traffic into the IP of the router before sending the traffic away, so clients on the other side has no way of knowing who or where the traffic came from after the nat’ed router.

I suggest you read up about this if you are not familiar with difference between NAT and routed traffic.

anyway, this is just my theory, hope you find your problem and get it sorted :)

(edit added part about nat)

or you might be unable to decrypt them at all

or, if it was a LG phone, could they be encrypted?

if so, perhaps this will help https://github.com/kamicater/LG-Gallery-Decryptor
