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.

Still are.

I was wondering about that. Seems like 90% of the time it flashes the finger print reader then fails and goes back to pin. Also 75% of the time can’t read my fingerprint reader when just unlocking but that’s not a grapheneos issue… :(

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.

I banged my head against this for a while, turned out switching VPN servers did the trick for me. Might help for you? Could also try installing an update for aurora. Or you could try deleting all aurora data. Those have helped in the past as well.

This is my experience with all BT headphones I’ve had. Maybe they do a quick short stint of searching for an existing device but then auto switch to pairing until a device connects.

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.
