I’d recommend avoiding spinning disks and going all ssd if possible.

You can get 12v in atx power supplies.

You may want to consider something like a Lenovo tiny with a few large ssds.

I spent a year tracking down random afci circuit breaker trips, until I realized it was my powerline Ethernet. Never again.

1. Alt tabbed once too many times, clicked drop database and yes. Deleted the live authentication DB for America’s Army: Operation video game.

2. Missed the word “add” in “switchport vlan add” on a switch, overwriting the list instead of appending to it. Took out the only connection between two datacenters we were in the process of migrating between. Took me 14 minutes to run to the datacenter, plug in a console cable and fix it.

Lspci doesn’t care about drivers. What’s lshw say?

Sounds like maybe a fake card or something. Do you also have a 3060 in there?

If you need support outside of business hours, you’re fucked.

Friend had a network misconfig on their side take his server out on Friday night and they didn’t fix it until Monday.

SMB.

The windows nfs implementation sucks, but everything talks SMB.

You might find our census interesting. Hopefully it’s more representative of general lemmy than hexbear.

Not sure, I’ve been out of that space for a long time.

The industry is pretty bad right now everywhere, it’ll pick back up… eventually.

Find a decent MSP and grind there for a few years. It’ll suck but you’ll touch a ton of different environments in a short time, and get exposed to all sorts of broken things.

A few tools that I’ve seen come up which look interesting:

• https://www.jobscan.co/
• https://wellfound.com/
• https://swooped.co/
• https://app.otta.com/

I’d recommend running your resume through ats tools.

With the hw MCE errors, it’s probably toast.

You could try reseating or swapping the ram around, if it’s socketed

I have a sliding door that I want to toss a stepper motor on, so my dog can push a button and let himself in / out.

Oh fuck yes, finally.

As someone with experience hosting high traffic sites, it’s probably both. Roughly 40% of the traffic I see to lemmy.ca is bots.

They’re also trying to block any people scraping for AI. There’s going to be numerous reasons behind this.

I know Disney+ also blocks hosting provider space. I’ve had users complain since our office / VPN are routed through our DC.

I know datacenters have an IP range, and they could ban all IPs from all datacenters. But why?

Because it’s 99% abusive traffic.

100% yes if it’s failing. Buy an ssd and revel in the new speed, don’t do another spinning disk.

Paywall:

Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died Tuesday morning after a struggle with a sudden, fast-spreading infection.

Known as Josh, Dean lived in Wichita, Kan., where Spirit is based. He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle.

He died after two weeks in critical condition, his aunt Carol Parsons said.

Spirit spokesperson Joe Buccino said: “Our thoughts are with Josh Dean’s family. This sudden loss is stunning news here and for his loved ones.”

Dean had given a deposition in a Spirit shareholder lawsuit and also filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration alleging “serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management of the 737 production line” at Spirit.

Spirit fired Dean in April 2023, and he had filed a complaint with the Department of Labor alleging his termination was in retaliation for raising concerns related to aviation safety.

Parsons said Dean became ill and went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing just over two weeks ago. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and then a serious bacterial infection, MRSA.

His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was airlifted from Wichita to a hospital in Oklahoma City, Parsons said. There he was put on an ECMO machine, which circulates and oxygenates a patient’s blood outside the body, taking over heart and lung function when a patient’s organs don’t work on their own.

His mother posted a message Friday on Facebook relating all those details and saying that Dean was “fighting for his life.”

Interesting, thanks for the link!

Well that’s technically correct, but if you’re so dependent on disk cache for system performance that you can’t live without it then you really need to look at doing an upgrade.

When a box swap deaths, it usually struggles to actually fill swap enough to have the kernel still OOM kill it at any point. Generally the massive performance impact of swapping just slows the app down to the point of being useless, along with the entire rest of the box. Disk cache should not be a concern during these abnormal events.
