Does a Threadripper in a tower count as a home server?

This general is probably one of the worst on the site that is still active at this point.

>>109541324
"some users" which can be anywhere from 2 people to 99% of people. Either way, that's obviously an annoyance, but I think the issue for /hsg/ specifically is probably going to be that it doesn't support SR-IOV.
Original author could have meant either one of these things. We'll never know because it doesn't say why in the thread starter.

>>109541195
I agree Nextcloud is bloated shit and I can't even get it to reliably back up files from my phone. I could understand rolling it out as an enterprise ecosystem/solution if you have a bunch of users and a team (or at least somebody smarter than me) to manage all its services/plugins.

That said, I want a self-hosted password manager with browser extensions and android integration that I could port my nextcloud password db over to. And something that will reliably back up my fucking phone pictures, at minimum.

What's the right solutions(s) from a "just works" standpoint? No hinky shit.

>>109541379
>specifically is probably going to be that it doesn't support SR-IOV
even if it was in the OP they dont care about any of that. they see chink noname minipc with 4 ethernet ports (i226v) and they go
>this is my perfect homelab, it's flawless
it's a mixture between actively protecting their izzat and a sunk cost fallacy, you can not reason with them.

for example in the last few threads we had that one angry jeet arguing like
>actually a cloud subscription is better than having your own hard drives
>actually a stock desktop cpu cooler is better than any custom cooler
>actually a shitass pcie-sata temu adapter is better than any lsi hba card
it's the same jeet spamming his chatgpt hallucinations, just ignore him and move on, usually defending his own bait like his life depended on it.

>>109541195
I agree the general has been on life support for years now. I thought about contributing to the wiki before the last move but there's no direction/priority or shared interest in anything so I wouldn't even know what gets used on a regular basis.
Also there was a lot of drama about wiki rights back then I just avoided the mess. Now it seems more like an archive of past /hsg/ than an active wiki.
>First you need a use case, see if any of this software interests you (commonly used shortlist)

Pretty much all of these are already within one click of the wiki page. The only thing missing maybe is the usecase which is already mentioned in the OP. Are you saying the wiki landing page is too long and it should be more concise or something?

also sdb is showing read/write errors while the other drives just show checksum errors. I'm pretty sure this is one of the new drives (SCALE doesn't use persistent letter assignments so it's kind of a guessing game when I have to replace one).
I would consider trying to remove it from the pool and resilver/scrub without it, but it won't let me offline the drive stating the "pool i/o is disabled", presumably because of the ongoing resilver, even though I can still access the shares/data. if I just shutdown and unplug it the entire pool shows as "exported" and isn't accessible, and attempting to import it back with less than the full 7 drives fails with an i/o error.
in CORE I could just remove a drive and the pool would remain accessible and online though in a degraded state.

so i'm confused about home servers, is it for people who have thousands of dollars worth of Media on DVD/VHS or is it for people who have been downloading stuff since the early 2000s? cause I have nothing downloaded and no DVD/VHS/blue rays. Everything that I have currently is streamed from paramount+ netflix etc. Am I just fucked?

>>109542109
It's for people that don't want to use or pay for streaming platforms.
>Am I just fucked
idk what's your goal

>>109541928
so, it just keeps failing, and when I was last able to access the pool most of the data was missing/inaccessible, though a few files still worked normally
I exported the pool and am running SMART long tests on all the drives to see which ones fail, but it seems like checksum errors could also be due to the HBA card failing/overheating.

File: file.png (439 KB, 1342x1848)

>>109542314
exported the pool and started SMART long tests on all 7 drives
4 of them show tests in progress if I run smartctl -l but 3 don't, however attempting to start another test on those drives gives me a message stating a test is in progress
I'm assuming the 2 new drives are DOA and a third failed during resilver
data is replaceable as it was basically just a giant pool for torrents and a bunch of blurays I ripped myself
tests should be finished by tomorrow afternoon
assuming I have 4 functional drives, can I make a new raidz2 pool with those 4 and then expand it to include the other 3 later after RMA, or do I need all drives present at pool creation to get the full capacity?

>>109542109
>I have nothing downloaded and no DVD/VHS/blue rays
>Everything that I have currently is streamed from paramount+ netflix etc
There are two types of people in this world:
People who thought movies looked amazing in movie theaters because the screen was huge and people who thought movies at the theater looked like shit because they are STILL using SDR 1080p projectors that they bought in 2004.

Both people stopped going to the theatre because in both cases it wasn't worth the money.
If you can't understand the complaints of the person in the second example then you probably wont understand the benefits of having any sort of infrastructure at home either.

Have you ever seen a soundbar at Walmart?
Do you own one? Do you know why they are needed? Do you think they are a waste of money?
They aren't, but if all you do is watch Marvel stop on Disney+ on your Roku streaming stick then you are squarely outside of the demographic of people who need one.

I think the use cases that you could glean from the OP are underbaked. They're media servers and kind of obvious (Jellyfin, Navidrome), or bad suggestions (Nextcloud).
When people do post what they're running in these threads there's usually the same 15-20 services that pop up over and over again. For a potential home server user that would probably be useful for them because it's a list of what people actually find consistently valuable.
I would hazard that maybe a survey could get what people in /hsg/ use most and we could display that in the thread starter, but it's got its own issues. We could also go back and look at people who have posted their service lists and compiled a "you probably want these" list from there.
The wiki is probably a bit of a bigger and more contentious topic, but I think a lot of what is written there is either wrong (which is where correcting it might be contentious), misprioritised, or buried in a bunch of useless info dumping. It's often vague as well, not specific enough to actually be able to make a decision with.
Focusing on that Home Server page, it puts cart before horse by getting right into hardware before the reader even knows what they might want to do with it. The lead has NAS and streaming. So much of the thread starter reduces down to "run Jellyfin" like that. Picrel is the closest thing it has to a "what can I even do with this thing?" section and its 80% of the way in, and all it does is link to the awesome-selfhosted list.
All the rest of the stuff in there is abstract if you don't know what you might use a server for. Hardware, containers, different ways of deploying software are all floating around in the ether and unrooted until you know what you might actually run on them.

There is no point in contributing because seemingly the only people left here are running jellyfin, xyzCloud and maybe syncthing then call that a homelab. Any discussion about actual tech is pointless because as you already realized people here are just fucking cargo culting.
The last time I seriously tried engaging this shithole general years ago before LLMs came along people just asked why I would possibly want to do xyz? No fucking point effort posting.
This shithole board is dying for the same reason ShitOverflow died basically over night, when you have nothing to offer but a miserable crabs-in-a-bucket circlejerk that's decided to congregate around tech when you hate technology people ditch you at the first chance they think something better has come along which in this case just happened to be LLMs. Same reason reddit killed forums, discord killed reddit, it doesn't matter if the new thing is actually better, people just get tired of the bitter miserable self-hating misanthropes.

You speak a bit harshly and are needlessly combative, but yes, I essentially agree with your points.
No way are we going to be able to solve every problem at once, so for now I'm just thinking about how the thread starter could be better.
I suffer under the continued delusion that a website could, in theory, be good. Even if whatever we could come up with that improves on the thread goes elsewhere to be used, that's fine.

Depends on how you want to expand it and what version of zfs you have. Newer versions let you expand vdevs, ie adding a drive to a 3 drive raidz1 to make it a 4 drive raidz1. You can't change it to a different raid type though. You could also just make the raid in a degraded state. I'm not sure how you go about this, but I've heard that it is an option. Sounds like you should just make sure you have a new enough version and try to expand the vdev later.

I don't think nextcloud is a bad suggestion I just think there's not a lot of viable alternatives. Or to build out a suite that covers what you want from nextcloud you need to host like 10 different things. Home assistant is kinda the same story for me, it's designed around appealing to normies and makes too many compromises along the way. There's no other alternative though so you just kinda put up with it.
I agree the wiki landing page is too long. Software should be first condensed to maybe a paragraph per section and sub pages that go into more detail. Then hardware after. Also sub pages for storage, networking, compute, etc and the same kind of tldr paragraph for each section on the landing page. Also there should be an LLM page now.

I pay $5/month for a vpn for remote access to my stuff and to get around ISP letters, I used to get those too. I use AirVPN, it works fine with both wireguard and openvpn.
Technically you don't NEED a 4TB drive. The lowest quality 1080p movies you'll find are around 1-2GB each. Decent quality will run you 7-10GB. Top quality will be 40-100GB. TV Shows get pretty big being between 500MB and 3GB per episode depending on the quality you want. 10GB tier will be better quality than streaming services, 1GB tier will be cable quality. Also pre 80s movies usually are smaller because there's no 1080p version of those.
4tb was always the starting point I recommended but they're expensive brand new now. You can store anywhere from 10-1000 movies on a 1tb drive and can probably get one for $10 on marketplace.

so I finally moved my wireguard server from my home server to a dedicated pi zero in read only mode. attached an ethernet hat and run the stack raw without docker. it uses like 150mb of ram total so I am pretty content with it. my only issue is that i had to vibe slop my own utility scripts to generate wg configs from templates. I had the scripts reviewed by different agents until all the holes in the system were filled but it's still vibe slopped code after all. did I re-invent the wheel by chance? I had to be conservative with how much stuff I put on the thing because it's meant to run on 512mb of ram (or storage considering it's on read only mode)

>>109544982
tl;dr

>>109551170
Post the chip. People get reflexive when you question HBAs because they are "the accepted solution".

>>109553778
are you constantly changing your configs, do you just run like 50 tunnels or why would you even need to script generating the configs?
tbf i have no idea about the performance of wg on raspi zero but I can't imagine its too good

>>109542109
It's for people who enjoy fucking around with computer & network hardware and setting up operating systems and various network-enabled software. Using it to watch movies is just one potential use case. You can host your own document storage, a chat server, game servers, your own DNS server, crypto nodes, tor node, your own VPN tunnel to access everything remotely including your home WAN connection, etc.

>>109545538
so I think I've solved it
apparently the HBA was overheating, and one of the new drives appears to be bad
I disconnected the new drive that was giving read/write errors and I pulled the side panel off and pointed a box fan at the HBA and am no longer getting checksum errors and resilver is proceeding as normal, with a reasonable time estimate (~30 hours)
I'll have to do some more tests to see if the new drive really is bad, it passed SMART but I might try badblocks and see what happens
as for the HBA I'll have to either get another one that doesn't run so hot or just slap a 40mm fan on the heatsink and hope for the best

I had Claude slop up a parts list for a mini-rack, after some tips from a friend. How's this list?

The intent is a data server for storing many TB of market data, and I'd be streaming to my desktop or copying over large chunks for local work. It will not be doing any intense compute like model training/inference or running a node.

I've never built a PC before and don't really know much about it. I like the mini-rack format over small cases like the Jonsbo case. I think since my actual compute needs are low the Mini-ITX format is fine, and 10GbE seems important since I intend to transfer data a lot.

TIA for any help. Haven't had the energy to research it enough to finalization, but do wanna get it done.

>>109557345
for the 1000000th time, any server hba was designed with a heatsink that requires a certain amount of air flowing through the case at all times. slapping it in an arc case with no direct airflow will kill it. also the h310 is a lsi 9200 series card so it's PowerPC and WILL cook itself. Point a case fan at it. Can't believe I'm replying to this bait.

>>109557439
change your thermal paste or use ptm7950. Better thermal transfer means the fan can run at lower speeds.

looks fine to me. everything looks like it'll work. no clue about that rack solution. it'll be louder than a normal case, but functionally no issues

Thanks. Not missing anything major? Hoping to get everything ordered at once to put together the same weekend. The racks look pretty cool imo, like how modular they are versus a normal case. I almost went with a Jansbo case until my friend told me about these 10" mini racks.

Small enough to fit on a couple of nvme sticks?
Or so large it'll need a few 3.5-inch drives?

>>109559973
A few 3.5"s, I'd like the rack to be able to hold at least 4 20TB HDDs for a total of 80TB max capacity.

HDDs are actually fine here because the data is essentially a recorded tape and replayed sequentially as one so the spinning disk works well, at least that's my understanding.

nothing wrong with that if your use case is midget sized appliances and raspberry pies. at least you can get a desk fan and cool that heap somewhat.

>>109560344
They can be fine if they passive cooled and mostly idle.
But yeah it's almost always a terrible idea.

>>109560373
use case is basically as an external hdd w/ server (I guess that's like a NAS?). just a place to park tons of data and pull it or stream to my desktop as needed.

I am running 3 Dell 7050s with DAS set ups. That's pretty much all I need. Unless you're an IT student or work at home in IT, I don't understand why some dudes have fucking enterprise level server set ups at home. Not judging, it's a great hobby, but still....

It's just hoarding, & I wouldn't be so quick to judge. These people make up the bulk of high speed downloads you get over torrents & soulseek etc. Without them things it'd be much harder to find shit & download it fast.

Or is there something better in the 10" mini rack format ?

Don't forget to have some fans / airflow going over your disks.

>jonsbo
Jonsbo N3 has 8 bays (don't have to use all of them obviously)
takes mini-itx motherboards
and can take a 2-slot full-height pcie card.

Another possible case is the roomier Sagittarius NAS case.
- 8 bays.
- Takes micro-atx motherboards (which means you could have up to 4 pcie slots).

>ASM1064
If you type into google ai: asm1064 vs asm1166 vs jmicron ?
It says:

ASM1064 natively supplies 4 sata ports,
JMB585 natively supplies 5 sata ports,
ASM1166 natively supplies 6 sata ports
and are fine if used without a port multiplier.

JMB3xx are old and awful.
JMB575 is a port multiplier and commonly paired with the JMB585 to go beyond 5 ports. Problems: timeouts, problems with smart, data corruption.

I can't think of any valid reason why they moved the screw hole to the bottom of the bracket on low profile cards but they did. The screws top and bottom are sandwiching it fairly well though.

>>109560301
It's fine then. If it avoids those JMB splitter chips to get even more ports it'll work OK. Drivers can sometimes be a nuisance but solvable.
>>109560357
I didn't record it but I used an ASM1166 to random wipe 6x8TB drives in parallel. The first 5x wrote at 200MB/s, and the 6th wrote at 160MB/s (I guess until the others finished and then wrote at 200MB/s too, or it's just a bit slower of a drive.)
It was maxing out the drive's practical write speeds, excepting that one drive that was capped by the PCIe capacity, which is 1x if I recall correctly.
That lasted overnight, I think 11 hours total.
As I mentioned in the other reply here I did have some tricky but solvable driver issues.
So, in answer to your question, you can saturate 5 drives, and nearly a 6th. The one I had was indeed chink shite, though maybe de-emphasizing shite.

>>109561031
>No disks spent on redundancy ?
Yeah I probably should.. But I was thinking they could be 'offline' and not synced as frequently.. Maybe like only doing redundancy for what I haven't yet backed up separately.

In other words, IDK that the backup disk need to live in the same rack necessarily. But yeah maybe, what, 8 disk would be better than for a 1:1 back up?


>Are you just going to sit the disks directly on the shelves ? Or is there something better in the 10" mini rack format ?
There's things like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/127871657441?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOooSwvyemICEaiHLphaRF1zzTKnp8IEf4f9Kydt_6dn6QSoXyBVe1_o

Need some advice.
1. Is this a good price? It's $90CAD($65USD) per unit. Seller says it has 8GB of RAM and 128GB SSD for all of them. I don't plan on upgrading anything.
2. Right now I only plan on using two; one is a torrent box with an external HDD as storage attached to it and the other is my game servers, mainly Minecraft, Vintage Story and Project Zomboid. I don't know if it can run a private server of other games though, like WoW, Ragnarok, Shin Megami Tensei etc. What should I use the other three for?
3. Should I just buy a weaker one, instead of Ryzen 5 it's a Ryzen 3? It's roughly the same price but I can buy it individually so I only need to buy the ones I need.

>>109564308
Depends on the description and other pictures with eBay, but based on the assumption they are in good condition and working I would say yeah, it's a fair enough price per unit if you aren't finding them cheaper. What's the Passmark score for the CPU?
If you have the time, why not keep they ones you want and sell the others? See how much they sell for individually, because if it's more than they are selling for here, the ones you keep will actually have an even cheaper effective cost. If you'r ereally busy though that's probably not worth the time for the discount.

>>109563884
How often do you buy HDDs though? Don't ever buy used since a 5 year warranty is really important, especially when new and used HDDs are roughly the same, at least in my country. I don't mind spending $500 every 5 years for a new HDD. And if a drive fails just RMA it and get a replacement. Although luckily I never had to RMA anything so I don't know how tough that process is.

Other sellers sell them for ~$150. But I usually don't sell things online so I would just keep them. I just need to know what I should use them for.
Seller says they work, has 1 stick of 8GB RAM and comes with the 65w power adapter.
The Ryzen 3 is 22% weaker than the Ryzen 5.

It's literally the same argument when buying hard drives and comparing price per TB. Do you buy a 16TB hard drive for $500 or buy a 4TB hard drive for $200? If you don't NEED the 16TB immediately then the 4TB sounds better, but it's a worse deal compared to 16TB for $500.

It states OSS, which had a separate relationship with Iron Mountain to provide data storage, went “defunct,” leaving Nine PBS’ archives in a data center operated by Iron Mountain.

golden age of /hsg/ probably would have been late '00s, like '06-'10, which is when 1gbit ethernet, large capacity sata drives, linux, and more broadly OSS were all taking off.

that was around the time period that a lot of formerly enterprise technologies were becoming available, completely for free, via linux and open source. so there was a novelty element, but also an arbitrage element if you were savvy with linux and bash and compilers and all that jazz.

ofcourse all of that has become commoditized, including the jazz. i would say opportunities have become centralized again. the fun toys have returned to the hands of the 'big boys' just as it was in the 90s: if you want access to the interesting stuff, you need to get inside the corps.

as an aside, the corollary of this is that big tech jobs aren't going anywhere, and infact i would argue it is *more* impactful to get one nowadays, than before, because it gives you access to resources that are available exclusively to large-cap orgs.

i.e. in a feudal world, its better to be inside the castle than out.

My nvme is dying, it put the / of my system in to mode today, I had to shut it down. There is only one slot for M.2 ssd so my system is down. It's under warranty but still systems will be down until the new stick arrives.
The failure could've been a bad seating but I've reseated it twice, and there is a permanent media error written on it so maybe it was the cheap mobo but I'm not sure.
At this point I'm genuinely considering buying server grade stuff, starting with mobo+cpu, preferably something from the amd epyc lineup, a bigger case and a larger psu.
But I'm quite a noob in the enterprise grade stuff, tried looking up on the net and asking AI but there are just too many options. Also would be nice if my old DDR4 (non-ECC) could be used somehow in the new setup in these trying times.
Some help in getting started with a long term solution would be very much appreciated /\

That is an extremely narrow way to view it, and data hoarding doesn't even require a home-server.

fwiw there are <1mm transparant optical wires you can run along walls, so a pair of them would be nearly invisible. i was stupid enough to run heavy cat7 cabling in my previous house. glad i switched. but yeah, holes are better, happy for you anon.

What other upgrade path would you recommend?

What's some good setup for running a qwen3coder on one machine and having it write and execute projects on my server?
Is the pewdiepie odyseyus frontend thing good or worth it?
Is vs code & cline worth it or good? I have this running now.
Is there a claude code local application thing i can put on my server?

I have learnt so much shit in the past month or two. Self host server is so fun.
I turned my gaming PC (3090) into an ubuntu dual boot that runs LLMs
Bought a T5810 and filled every slot possible with hard drives and put proxmox on it which I just tell claude code to install and fix all the time
I vibe code retarded websites for fun
I run every service I could find that's even remotely useful
>jellyfin, navidrome, docker, calibre, vaultwarden,

Just run everything off my comfy macbook pro m1

Is there a guide towards lowering idle power? My server idles at 20W. i7 8700, 64GB, iGPU, 1 nvme.

>>109585630
not him. a T5820 might be enough for you. if you wanted to add more drives you can put it in another case

>>109584966
if you don't know what you are doing, you'll just get some jeet do something nasty on them and then your net gets blacklisted everywhere

>>109586545
the lowest hanging fruit are looking around in powertop and also maybe enabling more c-states in the bios
a more efficient psu can also shave a few watts but it's unlikely to amortize anytime soon depending on where you live

>>109584128
I probably would, but I live in an apartment so I would either transfer everything in to an actual case or change fans/settings

>>109564186
Romm just works my man. What issues are you having with it ? Maybe I can help.

The controller setup is a confusing mess, because EmuJS expects literally everything that it emulates to have a Nintendo-style ABXY controller layout: as evidenced here while I'm playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

...and of course this illustrates the issue. The machine that EmuJS is emulating expects an ABC layout, whereas EmuJS can only 'understand' ABXY. So it's not clear, at all, how to produce a C button input on the machine that is being emulated.

i have a synology box with a few docker containers. it works fine but im thinking about getting more into homelabbing as a hobby. i don't "need" anything currently. that said im wondering what the next step could be. i like having an all in one box because it's easier, and im the only client. so maybe networking equipment next?

llama.cpp with the --tools-runtime flag set to ssh:your-server's-IP
>Is the pewdiepie odyseyus frontend thing good or worth it?
Probably not. The built in llama-server one is pretty good already and improving quickly. If you want something more agents focused, Pi is a well-liked option.
>qwen3coder
Since you have a 3090 you can fit an IQ4 quant of 3.8 27B or 3.6 35B A3B. These models have much better scores in intelligence and SWE than qwen3coder, which is getting a little dated by LLM standards.

>>109586545
Do you have any HDDs that are contributing to that draw or is it just the one SSD?
If you do have HDDs, you're already at a low power draw. If not, you can go lower, maybe halving it, but it's often pretty hardware dependent, particularly motherboard dependent, and you need to have built the system from the ground up with low idle consumption in mind. Can probably shave off a few watts though.

>>109589486
The mapping is ABY to CBA. It's a bit confusing but nothing insurmountable. It stands within reason to expect this kind of controller because what most users (and platforms) will use and what Xinput expects is an Xbox style controller.
If you bitch about this you may be able to get the devs to do something about it. It would be trivial to have Romm display relevant inputs per platform. Romm devs are -very- active and will probably listen to you (and if they do very likely implement the feature quickly) if asked nicely. They really want their software to be normie friendly, at least on the user side of things so this they will probably implement.

Then, they're going about it in a truly terrible way lol. It's baffling that there's no way (that I've found, correct me if I'm wrong) of setting up how your input device interacts with the emulated platform, without emulating a game, waggling your computer's mouse or hitting Esc or whatever to bring up the save state / load state etc options, *then* performing the hunt-for-a-wrench-or-gear-icon dance, all while the game's attract mode plays in the background. In literally any other emulator out there, it's Options -> Input or whatever, which is why I was confused and frustrated that this isn't exposed at all in RomM.

All this is to make the following sound less like a shitpost: on the face of it, the input options screen as presented in >>109589470 is to configure controller -> EmuJS controls, rather than controller -> emulated system controls: I can't believe this hasn't been ... well ... noticed!

>>109590569
This element of Romm has not been touched at all since initial release. It sorely needs attention. I also doubt that the developer actually envisions EmuJS as anyone's primary interface for actually playing the games. They expect you to use it more as a sort of trial feature or backup option. They want you to use integrations or apps really which is what they have been focusing on before. They're coming back to the web player recently and started implementing an emulator streaming feature so you can use full fat emulators and heavier platforms through the browser by leveraging server horsepower instead of running everything in the browser.
If you want this to be fixed make sure to notify the devs. They are easy to get a hold of. Especially on discord. They fixed the issue I had on the muOS app in less than 30 minutes and provided my a test build to verify.

Is this the reality is using an ARM box still?

what models are currently best for self-hosted stuff? i'm bringing up a server pretty soon that's got 384gb ddr3 and 2 tesla m40s for 48gb vram. i'm guessing i should be able to run a fairly large model with this, even if not very quickly. i don't really care if it's too fast, though, since i can just let it run tasks overnight.

Claude has worked wonders troubleshooting TrueNAS for me. Resilvering an 18TB drive is going to take days, dude. Ignore the estimated time and let it run. Are you running in a VM or bare metal? How you pass the drives into a VM matters a lot.

>>109591632
Nah that's normal if you use an ancient 11 year old router

>>109592263
I've never used AI and don't intend to start
bare metal
normally resilver takes about a day and a half but it was up to over 6 months
turns out my HBA was overheating, I popped the side panel off, pointed a fan at it, and removed the 2 new drives and was able to complete a resilver in ~32 hours with the original 5 drives
I did a scrub immediately afterwards and it completed with no errors
I bought a 40mm fan and am planning to mount it on the HBA heatsink and try again, one drive at a time this time, have to seed some torrents for a couple days to avoid hit'n'run warnings first though

Feels good when your monitoring accidentally catches your packets taking a road trip across Europe. You contact support and then they actually fix it.
