If you want to use ECC at non-server prices and easier to source you could go AMD. See my sig for my current setup. Most/all Asus (Asrock too?) support ECC. I know my desktop's MB an ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING supports it in spec, but I didn't use ECC for it. Seemed overkill for a desktop machine.
As for "worth it" I have to admit I can't say I have my own evidence of the benefits, but there is no shortage of info out there debating the benefits in the server world and specifically when using virtualization.

Is anyone having any luck getting the preview function to work? I mean when I click PREVIEW it opens a window that shows me an image that represents what will be encoded size / aspect wise but I don't see an option to get an actual 10sec playable click like discussed here: https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.1.0/workflow/preview-settings.html

Just updated from 6.5.3 to 6.6.1. basic dockers (in sig) no VM's ... all is well. I ran the update assistant before hand which let me know the ancient dynamix plug-in was on my flash so I commented that out (though I don't think it was actually be used since I had all the CA based dynamix plug-ins installed and they stayed after reboot and after upgrade) and made sure all my plugins were up-to-date (CA was out of date).
All works well and I mostly like the new UI. Running at 90% scale on a 1920x1200 is pretty close to what I like. In all cases I always prefer "compact" spacing so as not to waste space and get more info. If that means using contrasting colors / borders etc to delineate UI element groups that's my preference over lots of blank space.
Well done!

Like it so far.
You know its weird I hate light themes on phones and do everything I can to make it as dark as possible. And I run a dark theme on Reddit (technically a dark grey and maybe that's the difference) but for just about every other forum i prefer a light theme. I don't know what it is about the dark theme for unraid I don't like, but I just don't. If I can put my finger on it and it's not just a weirdness of me I'll post it here fwiw.

Love this!
Is it possible to increase the size of the editing window?
Wider and taller. Feels like I'm looking through a periscope for some larger file (like rtorrent.rc)

Loose association. Unraid has used slack as the base OS since forever, but there is no official agreement that I am aware of. If slack ceased development, unRaid would have to adapt.
King Slackware is dead ... Long Live LimeSlack! ... LimeWare? unSlack?[shrug] it could happen

Just wanna say, I finally got around to shifting my BD drive from my desktop to my server to try this out and WOOT!!! Worked like a charm!!! Now I can buy a smaller desktop case and makes my workflow muuuuuch shorter and smoother.
THANK YOU!!!

Define "alarms?
Because CPU's don't get "over loaded". They get used and there's nothing wrong with 100% load. But if there isn't enough cooling they over heat and that IS bad.
The difference matters because even with optimized versions your CPU is going to get loaded up while optimizing and it'll still trigger the "alarms".

Honestly I've found myself coming to the forum and finding nothing of interest to read except for the RC announcements and the occasional major plug-in update.
But I feel like that's the result of LimeTech really tightening up their product to the point that there isn't that much to talk about anymore. Many of the quirks and workarounds are gone, things just work, and the community plug-in infrastructure is robust and clean.
It just works so there isn't much to talk about.

Crickey, given the I/O impact is this going to crush parity operations?
And depending on how the final linux patch goes re: AMD cpu's what are the chances Limetech will be willing to include the AMD switch so at least those CPU's aren't affected? Im' reading rumors the linux devs are calling the request to disable the patch for AMD cpu's a "feature request" [sigh WTF]
EDIT: [phew] https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/27/2 ... not merged yet though [uggg]

You can boot from unencrytped but then decrypt config files ... or even a second encrypted volume on flash. Just ask for the PW on boot to decrypt [shrug]

Modified the "as.conf" under "/appdata/openvpn-as/etc" and commeted the "boot_pam_users.0=admin" line by putting a hashtag in front of it.
Thank you for this. I brain locked on where to find as.conf
LSIO, it might be worth updating the github instructions to add the "appdata/" bit

I used to always be set to NO, and will revert tonight now that I'm back from vacation. With that, the UPS just stays on until basically drained. I do that because I want my network gear (and thus internet) to keep running in a power outage even if unRaid has shut down. I changed it to Yes for travel so my VPN would recover after a long outage.
I have an APC Smart-UPS 750 that I bought refurbed off e-bay and just recently swapped in new batteries as the ones that came with the UPS died after 4 years.
-
Never mind. I was too impatient and didn't know about the default 180 second "Shutdown grace delay" before which the ups will actually shut itself down. On the status screen is it called " DSHUTD "
-
Wait is the point here that we need to set it to "NO" to get the UPS to turn off?
I'm just now looking to make this happen and I can't seem to. The server shuts down just fine, but the UPS stays up.

Not even a sale really, but cheaper than Amazon by like $30
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822146116&ignorebbr=1
This is their "new" 4TB apparently as compared to the HGST Deskstar NAS 4TB 7200RPM SATA III 64MB (0S03664) which is the one I think Backblaze reports on.

OMG OMG OMG ME ME ME BETA BETA BETA WOOT WOOT WOOT

needo isn't around much these days. linuxserver.io is probably most recommended and support plexpass and betas.If you install the needo plex docker it automatically works with plex pass. That's what i'm running....
Maybe so but he's definitely still updating it. In fact I just got an update today to 1.4.1.3662
That is the nature of the docker "update" by restarting it. It goes out and gets the latest build from Plex. Needo hasn't touched the docker container code in months.
The implication is that the docker code needs to be touched.
Is there something about Needo's docker code that needs updating?
... you rock, Thanks Squid!!!
upgrading hardware, is ECC worth it ?
in Motherboards and CPUs

Is there somewhere you've read this? I have not heard about reboots having anything to do with reducing the risk of kernal panics. I don't know that you can accumulate flipped bits that eventually just get to be too many, or flip a bit that doesn't manifest a panic until some time in the future, but if you just reboot soon enough you'll avoid the problem.
A bit flip is either going to cause a panic, cause a data error, or be in a place that won't do anything of consequence. I feel like starting here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random-access_memory#Error_detection_and_correction and then falling down the rabbit hole of reading actual research is probably the only way to get real data rather than opinions.
