Ive had truenas, moved to unraid in the past few months. The one constant has been nextcloud is a pita. Even the legacy manual install blows. I dropped it and have been much happier ever since.

Doesn’t prevent the screw from turning necessarily. What you need is better tension.

Don’t forget to swap the springs out too. At least for me my Neptune had trash springs that couldn’t hold tension to save its life. I bought a cheap set on amazon and i stopped banging my head against the wall. Mind you i have the plus, so maybe not an issue for the pro.

Pretty sure that was home assistant. I had the same issue. Phone would even get piping hot. Killed home assistant, problem solved. I’m connected to VPN to home using openvpn 24/7. Too lazy to switch to wireguard :p

WD reds I believe are smr, wd red pros are cmr, or at least that was a thing for a while that WD did silently.

Pretty sure something like 10 years ago crashplan deleted a bunch of customer data in a deduplication job gone wrong.

This is the correct answer. Dell, and other oems, have stored their windows keys in firmware on motherboards for years now. You could literally install on a fresh drive and it should auto activate. Typically at most you have to go to click activate yourself.

This is all assuming the machine came with a pro license and wasn’t upgraded of course. It should have a sticker on it.

Also thank you for pointing this out. Not sure how I missed this. I already looked in the passwd file to make sure it was an actual user account, they’re right next to exciter and had the same uid. You saved me a boat load of time trying to figure that one out. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

This was the issue. I did an update recently of truenas and apparently the polkitd user took over the uid for my plex account. Unfortunately it looks like this also caused some level of corruption since even changing the uid and gid haven’t fixed the issue and plex is borked.

Luckily I have backups, so not all is lost, and even if it was, I could probably just regenerate that data.

I did the same thing. I have a Neptune 3 pro. The front goes up a touch and the back goes down about half a mm. I just pushed down on the front and pulled up on the back edge a bit to attempt at least a bit of correction. Seems to have helped a little bit. I’ve been considering printing some soft jaws for my vice and trying to tweak it a smidge more.

Definitely need to be careful doing this or the bed or heating elements can be damaged irreparably. Damaged heating elements are potentially dangerous.
