FreeNas cutover and More

I got all the hard drives moved over, I got a few new small flash drives for SLOGs in my system. I ordered a few of these for putting a 2.5-inch drive into my 3.5 bays. They work perfectly.

Other than having to fight the networking which seems pretty standard on a move it all went pretty well. I don't know what it is about FreeNas in LACP that completely pisses off my switches, but once I got it worked out it is working very well. Then took the old PC/Server out.



The bigger project for the weekend was getting Organizr, Lidarr, and ZoneMinder running. These were a combination of a few projects I had been working on. Each of these is running in their own jail inside of FreeNAS along with other software.



Organizr, I have a lot of internal services I wanted to go past bookmarks- https://organizr.app/
Music management client similar to Radarr/Sonarr - Lidarr - https://lidarr.audio/
Zoneminder opensource free security camera software - https://zoneminder.com/

So I am not going to give full instructions, lets just say it took some playing for each. My music collection is a mess and I am using this opportunity with Lidarr to fix it up, this is going to take some time.

Organizr, I am just getting tired of management of all the different internal web services I have. Some people are doing some really cool stuff with it, I may bling it out more, but initially its just to make things easier.

Zoneminder - well I am not always home just like anyone. I have ADT at the house, but no cameras etc. This will allow me to add some cameras and monitor the house a bit when I am gone etc. So far I only bought one camera.

So far it has really impressed me. I will go into each of these more on my next longer post and what I have been doing with them.


A few examples from the camera. The night vision really impressed me as there were zero lights on in that picture with Mr. Kittah Oreo.

All things Organized

As I mentioned in my last post I was tired of having a folder full of bookmarks to get to everything on my network...I have a bunch of stuff and it sucks. So I had seen someone discussing Organizr ( https://organizr.app/ ) a while back and thought yep its time to make this work. So I set up a new jail on my new FreeNas server as I mentioned in the last post and got to work. So after quite a bit of experimentation, reading, playing, downloading custom JPEGs etc this is where I ended up at. A landing page with all my links that can be easily updated as needed. There are some people out there doing some awesome things with it and I may add more things over time. So here is a few screenshots etc. Some items do not like being in an iframe and some I just let pop out to their own windows. Just depends on how they act.  As I also mentioned the other day I finally got around to getting Lidarr installed in a jail as well. ( https://lidarr.audio/ ) I have been a little l

Finished SVS upgrades

Image
 Finally replaced my last 2 Polk T-15 surrounds with SVS satellites, not a huge improvement in any way but call it my OCD I like having all the base channels the same. SVS was having a sale on them for 124 each in Piano black. The post on their outlet said they were missing threads on the back, but I can't see anything wrong with them and they have the wall mounting hardware on them...soooo i dunno maybe just a bit overstocked and wanted to get rid of some. I do need to find some better stands as the stands I have do not close tight enough to hold them. I just took some of the cloth from the box and wrapped some door/window shims with it to hold them for now until I find something better.  But it took the better part of 2 years slowly buying the pieces but my main stereo has all been upgraded.  SVS Prime Pinnacles - Piano Black SVS Prime Center - Black ash SVS Prime Elevation - Black ash SVS Satellites - Piano Black 2 Monolith 12 inch Subwoofers - Black ash 1 Polk 12 PSW-505  (prob

Little Healthcare/Cash for Clunkers Humor

Not much to post today but the following Clunker  Math The person who calculated this bit of information is now and has been a professor at The University of West Virginia in Morgantown, West Virginia for the last forty some years. A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year. The government claims 700,000 clunkers have been replaced so that’s 224 million gallons saved per year. A vehicle  that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons of gas a year. So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction will reduce gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year. That  equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil~5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption. More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars. So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save  $350   million.... We  spent  $8.57  for every  $1.00  we saved .   I’m pretty sure they will do a bette
