Alright, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of Duckpower.

First, let's settle the "waddling vs. flying vs. swimming" debate. Horses aren't big on flying, so we’re talking waddling power here. Until someone locates a Pegasus, we're limited to the traditional land-bound horsepower. If you want swimming power, I guess you’d need to measure a seahorse?

Now, here’s where it gets serious: according to the brilliant minds at Art of Engineering, we can calculate Duckpower using a clever formula. They took the mass of a duck, compared it to a horse, and ran it through Kleiber’s Law. The answer? One horsepower = 131.2 Duckpower. So, back to our math:

3 horsepower = 3 x 131.2 Duckpower = 393.6 ducks waddling their hearts out.

But wait! We probably don’t need all 393.6 ducks if we give them some solid shift schedules. Horses only get 3 HP so two can rest; following this logic, we’d only need around 100 well-rested ducks, provided they get naps and stay hydrated.

So, let’s optimize our duck workforce with a shift schedule. Assuming we only need 100 ducks, here’s the plan:

Duckpower Shift Schedule:

Total Ducks: 100

Working Ducks per Shift: 25

Shift Duration: 2 hours on, 6 hours off (plenty of time for snacks and naps)

In a day, we’d run 4 shifts like this:

  1. Shift 1: 25 ducks start strong at 8:00 AM, waddling with purpose.

  2. Shift 2: Fresh 25 ducks take over at 10:00 AM while Shift 1 ducks hit the ducky lounge for snacks and a nap.

  3. Shift 3: At 12:00 PM, another 25 ducks clock in to keep those wheels turning.

  4. Shift 4: Finally, at 2:00 PM, the last 25 ducks take over while the others catch up on R&R.

With this cycle, each duck works only 2 hours out of every 8, staying energized, waddling at peak efficiency, and ready for action.

TL;DR: 3 horsepower = 393.6 ducks waddling but if we set up a 4-shift system, we can pull this off with only 100 ducks working 2 hours each, plus snack breaks.

3 horses = 3 horsepower, which translates to a whopping 393.6 Duckpower.

Honestly, why are we still using horses as the standard here? Ducks are clearly the superior metric. So if you're like me and prefer a more feathered approach, just remember:

3 horses = 3 horsepower = 393.6 ducks You’re welcome.

(PS: Just imagine 393.6 ducks handling 10Gb... now that’s efficiency.)

no worries! 🙂

crossing my fingers for you while we wait 😄

No worries, however I cannot see the SATA marking on yours, just the SAS, or perhaps I am blind, changed contact model today..but please double check before ordering.

And yes, Dell does not manufacture hard drives, so it's almost 100% a OEM rebranding.

if however, it is this drive it should support SATA

you can, if you read my edited post, as long as the SATA logo is present on the label of the sas drive

as mentioned in the description of the product

there is cheap controllers as well btw:

lots of cheap electronics for all your needs over there :)

sorry if I misunderstood, but wasn't his drive sas, and he needed to go to sata connections? this does that.

sas hdd => sata controller connetions

the converter is not the culprit, the drive needs a sata logo on the label for it to work the other way, which is mentioned on the sales page.

if the drive had that logo or not is not mentioned as far as I can see

(edit, thought it was OP replying at first, so changed that, and added requirements for the adapter)

Haven't tried it myself, but there is cheap converters available on AliExpress:

Might be worth it to avoid using it as a paperweight?

replying to myself here, but also, if this where supposed to work, which I doubt it will because it's not feasible with tcpip, your second router would need to have the first router as gateway, but that is not possible when they are on the same subnet, and also your router will most likely not allow it because nat/routing will break, but if this was possible, devices behind your second router would not be able to connect to the devices before and vice versa, because since they have the same subnet, the traffic is considered local and not going through the router, and therefore the will not see each other as the NAT provides a separation between the networks...

you cannot use a router as a switch without using routing and different subnets .. so .. you might want to reconsider your design

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Might be conflicts due to several routers using the same subnet.. could cause some interesting ARP issues for the switches, and also DHCP conflicts if something is wrongly cabled / configured.

I would try disconnecting everything from after the first switch, connect a computer there to see if it works ok, then reconnect and test behind each step to see where it breaks instead of checking in the end where the problem could be agitated from a issue earlier in the network..

also, if the router has a firewall/nat you will not be able to reach anything behind it, even if there are different subnets being used.. to be able to reach devices behind a router, the network would need to be routed and not nat'ed as nat combines all network traffic into the IP of the router before sending the traffic away, so clients on the other side has no way of knowing who or where the traffic came from after the nat'ed router.

I suggest you read up about this if you are not familiar with difference between NAT and routed traffic.

anyway, this is just my theory, hope you find your problem and get it sorted :)

(edit added part about nat)

or you might be unable to decrypt them at all

or, if it was a LG phone, could they be encrypted?

if so, perhaps this will help https://github.com/kamicater/LG-Gallery-Decryptor
