D-Link announces new additions to its smart home and IoT offering #CES2020
Dave posted a topic in CES 2020 ,
D-Link has dropped a couple of new products and additions to their lineup of smart home gear. Hold on because there is a lot of gear!
Let's start with cameras. D-Link has new Wi-Fi cameras, the Full HD Pan and Tilt Pro Wi-Fi Camera (DCS-8302LH) and Full HD Indoor and Outdoor Pro Wi-Fi Camera (DCS-8526LH). These are not just new, and good looking cams, they can now perform people detection and glass break detection. The new cameras also feature expanded ways for customers to save video, including ONVIF Profile S, which enables custom storage and streaming options to personal NAS devices, built-in storage microSD capacity up to 256 GB, as well as free and paid cloud storage options.
This year's camera models include both an indoor and an outdoor model. The outdoor model features a spotlight and siren that can be triggered when motion is detected, deterring potential intruders. The indoor model pans around to give a full 360-degree view of any room and tracks motion. Both include two-way audio.
Full HD Pan and Tilt Pro Wi-Fi Camera is the model (DCS-8302LH), available in Q2, 2020, and retail pricing will be $99.99.
Full HD Indoor and Outdoor Pro Wi-Fi Camera is the model (DCS-8526LH), available in Q3, 2020, and retail pricing will be $119.99.
One of my favorite products is Wi-Fi. D-Link has a whole lot of new products coming including Wi-Fi 6, Mesh, Alexa and Google Assistant integration, IFTTT, Parental Controls, and more!
There are so many new SKU's that I can't make heads or tails of them! I'm going to be speaking with D-Link more this week and will sort all of these out. I do want you to see all they are offering and what the release date and projected retail pricing will be.

RESET Merch Shop
Dave posted a topic in Forum News,
Get ya Merch here! I've created a T-Shirt shop with the famous RESET paperclip. I've pasted that clip on just about everything so you can wear it around town! Cable bags, Coffee Mugs, T-Shirts, and more.
https://reset.threadless.com/
or you can get it it via
https://reset.fm/store
Here is the main design.
Below is a part of the order that I put in!
The Heather Grey above is the Extra Soft version and it is awesome. I highly recommend the softness! The "Chili Red" is the Tri-Blend and probably my favorite feel and color.
This is the Zip-Up Hoody, Heather Indigo, Sponge Fleece, Men's, Large. In my podcast I couldn't remember what style it was but it is Sponge Fleece. It's REALLY soft on the inside. Soft outside as well. The only problem is with the zip up hoody the logo is on the back. Regular hoody, it will be on the front.

OneDrive Personal Vault and expandable storage
Dave posted a post in Home Server Storage,
Microsoft's OneDrive has a few new features and options worth pointing out. Personal Vault and Expandable Storage.
Personal Vault is a protected area in OneDrive that can only be accessed with a strong authentication method or a second step of identity verification, such as your fingerprint, face, PIN, or a code sent to you via email or SMS.
Personal Vault gives you an added layer of protection for your most important files, photos, and videos—for example, copies of documents such as your passport, driver’s license, or insurance information—should someone gain access to your account or device.
Plus, this added security won’t slow you down. You can quickly access your important documents, photos, and files with confidence wherever you are, on your PC, OneDrive.com, or your mobile device.
Beyond a second layer of identity verification, Personal Vault also includes the following security measures:
Scan and shoot—Using the OneDrive app, you can scan documents or shoot photos directly into your Personal Vault, keeping them off less secure areas of your device, like your camera roll.
Automatic locking—No need to worry about whether you left your Personal Vault or your files open—both will close and lock automatically after a period of inactivity.
BitLocker encryption—On Windows 10 PCs, OneDrive automatically syncs your Personal Vault files to a BitLocker-encrypted area of your local hard drive.
Restricted sharing—To prevent accidental sharing, files in Personal Vault and shared items moved into Personal Vault cannot be shared.
Taken together, these security measures help ensure that Personal Vault files are not stored unprotected on your PC, and your files have additional protection, even if your Windows 10 PC or mobile device is lost, stolen, or someone gains access to it or to your account.
Expandable Storage
If you are and Office 365 Subscriber you get 1 TB of OneDrive storage space with all the other Office goodies like Word, Excel, etc. I know personally that I have gone over the 1TB limit and have always wanted to be able to add additional storage to my account. Now you can!
Pick and option and keep on hoarding, errr, I mean saving! Cancel anytime, upgrade at any moment.-

Ubiquiti adds new items to the Unifi Line including UAP Flex HD and the Unifi Dream machine
Dave posted a post in Home Server Storage,
Ubiquiti has been busy. There area ton of new items to recently released and I'm going to share two of my favorites.
The UAP Flex HD and the Unifi Dream machine. The Flex HD is a mouthful of descriptors like most of UI gear is. It's a 2Ghz 2x2 MIMO, 5GHz 4x4 MU-MIMO, POE, Indoor/Outdoor, multi mount, mesh point that is no bigger than a can of Coke.
You will still need the Unifi controller although you can configure it with basic functionality with the Unifi App. I've always found it's best to configure with your controller and then use the app as an add-on. There are several mounting options that include sitting it on a shelf! That is something that Unifi has not had before unless you count the ceiling AP I have awkwardly mounted placed on top of a few books. It can be found on the Unifi store for $179.
https://store.ui.com/collections/wireless/products/unifi-flexhd
The Dream Machine is an altogether different beast that I hope lives up to its naming. This is the gateway drug, for lack of a better term, to the Unifi world. The starter kit. It is an Access Point, Gigabit Switch, Security Gateway, and the Cloud Key all in one package. The latter being the most significant as this is something that has deterred new users from getting started with Unifi. Requiring new users to purchase a $100 item just to run the AP's has been somewhat of a roadblock in the past. Granted, that is improving every year with the ability to run it in the cloud, on a NAS, a Pi, Docker, MacOS, and of course Windows, it is still a barricade to getting up and running when manufacturers such as Eero offer simplicity in an app.
The switch includes 4 LAN Ports and 1 WAN port. All of which are Gigabit and security services such as IPS are rated at Gigabit speed. It's $299 in the Unifi store but I'm unsure how nicely it will play with other Unifi gear. This may be a nice "first AP" with its built in Cloud Key if you can add additional units or other Unifi access points.

How to listen to Podcasts
Dave posted a topic in Forum News,
Let's start small with the definition. If you know about podcasts already you can skip ahead.
What is a podcast? There is no set definition but in general a podcast is a voice recording on a subject that you can usually listen to however and whenever you want. Let's break these down a little bit and that will also help define the term for you.-

Final update on this with a successful outcome The new card came which also had the exact same chip/controller as the other two. I found this video which shows you how to copy your Windows install disk to the mSATA drive and install from there which worked for me. The issue was that I was using a USB ISO emulator hard drive device so it was seeing another drive even through I had disconnected the rest. I burned a DVD and booted into that which confirmed it was the device I was using to install Windows. I now have the original card installed and will try and send the OWC card back. -

It has been a while, but I think the last time I cloned a Gen8 boot drive I did it with the source and target in the Gen8. I used the SSA utility to create a RAID0 drive for the new boot drive. Then used cloning software that would expand the partition to the full capacity of the drive, Macrium Reflect I believe. If I am not mistaken, you need to setup the target drive with the B120i to get the full space. -

Hello all most dedicated, passionate moders and gadgeteers, I am reading this forum for some time already and just decided to have an upgrade of my own old HP gen 8 server, too. I read some interesting threads about the cooling and fan addition and so on. When I found the solution of the adding a noctua NH-L9i processor cooler, I was more then thrilled to try it. However, it requested to do some major, not revertible changes on the backplate and so on. So I came with almost perfect plan how to mount this cooler and not breake anything. But my enthusiasm faced tough reality just now. And I want you guys for any help (if even possible) to find answers on few questions. Here is the story I wanted to try: On the default pasive cooler (718283-001) there are (four mounting screws), they are going to the holes (or holders of the motherboard), right ? So I realized that if I find the correct screws with right thread, I can use them and screw them through the holes from the bottom of the backplate and thighten the CPU cooler with nut from top. (No any cutting of existing holders on backplate required). OK, seems realistic right ? But, here I am getting some punches to my head: The screw thread is probably not EMEA type because I couldnt find the same thread of this screw in our local hardware stores. It is probably custom made by HP so I couldnt find any details what type of this screw is and what type of thread is there. Withworth thread ? inch thread ? some kind of norm ISO, STN ? (All I could find out was diameter of the screw which is 3,32mm with my caliper) So here I am asking for your help. Is there any way how to find out the type of the screw with correct thread ? Can I order them somewhere ? I dont want the exact same screw as is on the original cooler. I need only the screws (best would be with different length), with same thread. If anyone can help to find this out, I would be more than grateful. Many thanks. -

Hi Guys, I recently cloned my boot SSD that resides in the ODD bay that was running as RAID 0. This drive has esxi 6.7 with a VM running a NAS that utilizes RDM for disk access. The clone worked perfectly and it booted up fine but it is not allowing me to use the extra hard drive capacity on the new drive. I went from 240GB to 500GB. Provisioning shows a 240 GB RAID 0 array and then shows my 500 GB drive with 240 GB being used. There is no way that I could see to allocated the remaining 260GB. I had thought of deleting the current RAID 0 and then attempt to recreate it, but I am concerned that would lead to data loss and RDM VM's are quite complicate to backup so I only have my original cloned disk to fall back on. Any ideas? -

Hello Ryan, Just Recently i got a ML350p as well. and indeed the succer is way to loud. Looking in to getting some Noctuas in there like you did. Just 1 Question though. Where did you take the PWM signal for the CPU Fans ??? Never mind I overlooked you're using the Corsair Link Controller. I Guess i'll be looking into Drivers for that under Linux
