Your welcome.
Was able to get one disk to come back up with some unRAID chicanery. The other is still questionable. Doing a data rebuild now, fingers crossed that I didnāt eff some parity bits while messing with it.
I have backups anyways, but still would be a PITA.
PSA: Backups, backups, backups. Make sure you have backups everybody. Off-site if possible.
Sorry to hear that, hope you get to feeling better soon. 
Get it done ASAP, we donāt want to lose you to a bad drive. Besides, Itās a simple procedure and Iām sure the surgery will be successful. 
I have a Pavlok. It works flawlessly. I wake up early and the alarm doesnāt wake my wife.
And that spindle? That thing looks like butter
This thing looks interesting:
I wonder about the range and frequency of the built in reader?
Ive had my eye on this. Im not sure if ill get the keypad, its tempting to go with a custom reader, but would love to know if it works well with glass implants
So hereās a random thought, to see what you guys think of i
Have an XBT, will be hanging around at a con this weekend with a piercerā¦ so the opportunity will be there to be installedā¦ and itās a bit of a more unique install, so some there might find interesting
Iām leaning toward taking off the migration cap, but I havenāt read much from people either way on it
If I take the cap off, the xBT injector wonāt work now right?
I have a chinessium injector that came with some off brand glass tags I was farting around withā¦
I believe itās the right diameter needleā¦
Needle is currently not at all sterile, figured I could pop the xBT, and take it to my local installer and have him autoclave it and the tag without the cap
Does that negate the chinessium factor? Or are China injectors still sketchy enough to not mess with?
@Coma youāre super knowledgeable here /@amal because your literally messing with the xBT kits stuff at the moment
Hmmmmā¦ thing is, if the injector is similar to the ones DT uses, it canāt be autoclaved at all because of the plastic bitsā¦
Does your piercer even need the injector? Mine was pleasantly surprised about it, he usually installs chips with his own needle, so that might be an option as well.
Ooooo, I was unaware plastic could be autoclaved
Itās essentially a dt injector, but the actual needle point screws of with what appears to be a luer lock
If I canāt sterilize it, thatās a deal breaker I think
It wonāt be my regular installer, and it will be an arm/armpit install so in figured a injector would be easier
I can always leave the migration cap on it I guess, and use the injector it comes in
It just concerns me that it would be significantly harder to remove, and I canāt even make a regular x series move if I want, before the Anti migration
Your piercer is excellent!
Donāt take that as a norm, tho!! 
I meanā¦ Installling with āhand-pokeā needle requires a lot more practice/finesse. And the installler device also makes the process a lot more āintuitiveā for a piercer who hasnāt done that enough.
[edit: it sent my post before I finished]
That said, I would take the willingness of the piercer as a sign that I got a good (or terrible) professional in front of me?
on the other hand, even though you could not autoclave it, @Eriequiet , there are other ways of sterilizing it.
Leaving for 48 to 72 hours on an appropriate enzimatic soap + distilled water solution, on a tray thatās receiving ultrasound treatment (i.e. vibrating) should also do the trickā¦
ā¦depending on the materials involved, of course.
Just a reminder, chinessium glass tags are crap for a reason
I had a bunch for farting around with, maybe shoving into 3D prints etc
Out of 20, 3 of them are already broken from very light handling
The ferrite rod itself broke in half, taking functionality with it
They were saying it canāt be autoclaved
Sorry, my phone is stupid and keeps autocorrecting things incorrectly
I literally typed couldnāt* and it reverted it 
I wandered down a rabbit hole that night, sounds like a lot of plastic CAN be autoclaved, but it weakens stuff ( things with preferred hundreds of cycles)
But I guess some will just melt obviouslyā¦
At this juncture doesnāt matter anymore, Iāll just implant with the migration capā¦ not a fan but I guess it will be what it will be
@amal sorry to ping you again but I see your active,
Sent you a pmā¦ just donāt wanna talk/show anything I shouldnāt
in the sense that it is no longer sterileā¦ that is correct.
there are so many reasons not to re-sterilize an injectorā¦ however, i think in this case where it has not been used (the point is still fresh) and the professional has an autoclave that has a āplasticsā mode (many higher end ones do) then it should be ok to useā¦ however, any good piercer can just use a piercing needle to make the incision and pocket, remove, then slide the chip in;
This needle procedure is what I would call perfect. There is plenty of needle lube, and the bevel is down. Super smooth.
So do you think a professional piercer would be able to, over the sterile field and after implant site prep,
Eject from the injector, remove migration cap, slide back into needle and install in a sterile manner?
Or should I not?
Do I actually WANT the migration cap?, I feel safe about glass and flex goop, but the migration cap I feel less confident about toxicity wise
A professional piercer could probably carefully eject, remove the cap, and place back into the injectorā¦ but itās risky for the pro. Theyād have to be careful of the point of the needle. Also the longer itās out the more chance for cross contaminationā¦ but technically possible.
Depending on where youāre getting it, you might want the cap. Other areas of the body might have quite a thick fat layer and thatās not all that good at encapsulation and keeping things where they belong.
Thought Iād mention it for anyone looking for one. I just saw someone on r/homelabsales selling a used Proxmark3 RDV4 plus some other goodies including a RC522 and PN532. $280 shipped. Iād buy it myself, but donāt really have the cash ATM. š„²
As Iām sorting stuff for my third flight to Norway this year, I suddenly got taken aback by a thought:
Why have I never reached out here for meetups? 
I meanā¦ we even joked about that in other threadsā¦
Anyway, Iāll be around the Oslo - Moss area for the end of October.
If anyone [edit for clarity] in Norway [end edit] fancy an āunoficial International DT meetupā, hit me on DMs?
