Either to create a playlist so I can download them with youtube-dl, or create a .txt document with the links to all of the after shows.

Do you know of any easy way to scrape all of those after show links?

Hey guys and gals, I was wondering if anyone here has a YouTube Playlist of all of the WAN Shows LTT has ever put out? I'm currently archiving videos/podcasts from YouTubers I watch, and I'd like to download all of the WAN Shows, even back to the garage. EDIT: I see the LTT channel has a playlist, but it doesn't go all the way back to the garage. EDIT 2: I think I found a playlist that has them all.

Hey guys, I want to clone the contents of an old SSD to my openmediavault array, but I'm but sure how to do it. I could use clonezilla on a separate machine, but then I'll be limited to gigabit transfer speeds. If I plugged the SSD directly into the server, is there a way to clone the contents to the array from within openmediavault?

They call it a "simulated sine wave" in the specs, and the graphic is somewhat stepped. How would I know for sure exactly how stepped the sine wave is? https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/cp1500avrlcd/ I would love to buy that one, but I am far too broke for that one at the moment. The one I found is $20. But that one you linked is literally the one on my wish list.

So, I've come across an awesome deal locally on a 1500va/900watt UPS. My only concern is that it's a modified sine wave inverted style, the CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD to be exact. This leads to two questions: 1. How bad is a modified sine wave for a computer power supply? 2. I would think the UPS should just pass through the wall power when available, so the only time it should be outputting a modified sine wave would be during a brown or blackout, right? I live in an area where we haven't had the power go out in like 7 years, so I'd imagine the chances of the UPS actually being used are pretty low. Still, it seems like a good idea to have my home server on a battery backup. So would I be doing more harm or good with these modified sine wave UPS's?

Yeah, the more I looked at it the more I thought the same. I just haven't soldered in years so I forgot about the flux residue. And I also thought of alcohol and q-tip, but for some dumb reason I thought that might hurt the card! Even though that's literally how you clean after soldering. Thanks for the reply, will try it and report back! Edit: That's exactly what it was, it came off with just a little alcohol. Thanks so much for curing my brain fart!

Hey guys, I just bought this (used) Dell h310 that I plan to flash to an HBA. I noticed these spots on the back of the card, and I'm not sure if it's water damage. What do you guys think?

How do I do that type of check? I'm assuming I use some program that will write to the array, then read it back and run a checksum to make sure the data is correct?

Awesome, that's exactly the level of instructions I needed. I'm running the SMART test on my drives now. Thank you so much!

I totally understand where you're coming from, but I'm going to run them in a software raid 6 so I'm not as afraid of a drive failure. Plus these are 3tb server class drives from HGST, and with the regular desktop 3tb drives are famously reliable from Backblaze's reports. In my dreams this would be brand new 4-10tb drives, but I'm far too broke for that. My current setup has absolutely no backup or redundancy, so I'm just glad to have a raid 6. Can that do a full on read/write to the drive to stress it? And where do I find these features? Will it just be an option on the right click menu for the hard drive? I'm a super noob to linux, so please excuse the dumb questions.

Hi guys, I've got 3 refurbished HGST Ultrastar's, with 3 more on the way, and I want to make sure they're in working condition before the return periods expire. What is a good USB bootable software to do a complete read write test to the drive to stress it and verify no dead sectors? I've read about Hiren's Boot CD, and Ultimate Boot CD. Would either of those be a good option, and if so what application within them should I use?

Alright, I looked into that after you recommended it and it looks like that's what I'll go with. So, I built the server today, and I realized that neither of the motherboards I have available support AHCI mode. I had always thought that AHCI was necessary for drives over 2tb, but upon researching it a little it looks like it's more important for SSD's? Will I have any problems running my drives in IDE mode? Will they still report SMART data fine on IDE mode? Also, you said to use stress in linux to stress test my memory. I assume that means I should make a bootable USB for say Linux Mint, install that application on it, and run that on the server?

I've actually never used linux, but I figure it's time I learn since I'm sick of this Windows 10 telemetry nonsense. I'm building the server so I have a safe place to put my data so I can fresh install my machine with linux. Are there any good threads that you'd recommend I read through, or videos I should watch? Really, it's THAT lightweight? I was originally going to be using a Pentium E2140 (dual 1.6GHz) machine, but when I went to buy some memory for it the guy gave me the hacked Xeon and a motherboard to run it, so I figured I might as well use it and re-purpose the old machine as a PFSense box.

Hi guys, I'm in the process of putting together my first home NAS/server, but I'm having trouble choosing the software that I want to run. My hardware is a Xeon E5440 with the LGA775 hack, with 4gb of 800mhz ddr2. I'll be running 3x 3TB refurb Hitachi Ultrastar's, and I'd like either 1 or 2 drive redundancy. It's also a plus if I can add mismatched drives later on, but that's not *necessary*. The clients will be two linux machines, one Windows 10 machine (switching to linux at some point), and potentially our Roku's as well (plex?). What software (preferably open source) would be best for this application? Also, what tools should I use to verify that the memory is solid and the CPU Overclock is stable? I know when overclocking a windows pc I run prime95 to stability test, but what do I use on a system with no OS/ a linux based NAS os?
