Now a static site
I’ve moved everything over to a static site. I did a few “while I’m at it” things as well:

I bought and really like my Kenwood Excelon DDX9903S headunit. I had it in my WRX, and moved it to my LS430. It supports Android Auto and CarPlay, which I find really useful when driving.
However, it has a nag screen every time it boots up. This got me curious as to how it worked, and see if it could be patched to skip this disclaimer. I figured it probably ran Linux on a SoC, as pretty much everything does nowadays. So I grabbed the latest firmware for it (mine was already updated to it), and started probing.
S_V2_7_0008_0600_AT1.zip
Extract that and you get 3 folders under S_V2_7_0008_0600/:
BOOT_V2_7_0008_0600_release/ MAIN_V1_0_2758_0400/ SOC_V2_7_0008_0600/
In each there’s a .nfu file, which I’ve never encountered before. I ran binwalk on each:
[BOOT_V2_7_0008_0600_release]$ binwalk Boot_2.7.0008.0600.nfu DECIMAL HEXADECIMAL DESCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 248776 0x3CBC8 Android bootimg, kernel size: 0 bytes, kernel addr: 0x4F525245, ramdisk size: 1226848850 bytes, ramdisk addr: 0x6C61766E, product name: "ERROR: Cannot read kernel image" 1571592 0x17FB08 ELF, 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV) 2358024 0x23FB08 ELF, 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV) 3209992 0x30FB08 ELF, 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV)
Surprise, surprise, it runs Android. But, I’m thinking this image is possibly just the firmware updater, and not what I am looking for.
My RAID6 was originally planned with 6 drives, but only had 5 for a while due to space concerns with the case. However, I found as a file, media, and multiple cryptocurrency node it filled up the 2.7TB pretty quickly. So, I got a new case (and some more RAM), which has proper space for 6 3.5” drives (and 2 5.25”). When migrating to this I decided to add the extra 1TB WD Red NAS drive I bought but have not been able to use.
The case is a Fractal Design Define Mini, and I am thoroughly impressed. Six 3.5” slots, two 5.25” external slots, and lots of sound padding on the doors and sides.
