This is maybe my new least favorite Linux problem.
My main home server is currently on an old office surplus PC in my basement living room (idk what else to call this room, I already call the room with my board game table the "game room" but it's the big open area in the basement where I have a couch and TV and all my game consoles). It's really the place it made the most sense to put it because I had extra cabinet space down there. I mostly use it headless but I have it plugged into my TV down there for troubleshooting purposes, doesn't make sense to pull a monitor out when it's literally in a TV cabinet.
I turned it off last night to install some new hard drives I got, and when I turned it back on it kept locking on boot. So I went through a bunch of recovery mode stuff. Went out of my way to get it back to being on /dev/sda in case something weird was going on with that (didn't think so, it mounts on UUID, but I'm no expert so why not try it). No luck. Tried formatting the new drives. No luck. Tried taking the new drives back out. Still no luck. Run some updates. No luck. Getting very nervous, and really would like Home Assistant back up and running before bedtime since I use it for things like an elaborate sleep timer for my TV.
Then I finally see a comment that simultaneously makes a lightbulb go off and makes me so mad at all the time I just spent troubleshooting.
Apparently what can cause this hangup in Debian (possibly only on older hardware?) is...being plugged into a 4K TV.
I had never encountered this before because the TV has never been ON when I was rebooting it. I'm usually rebooting this PC remotely, and I'm usually turning the TV on to check something when it's already running. Literally all I had to do was turn the TV off, reboot, give it time to get past the part it was hung on, and turn the TV back on.
@jsbarretto yup. It’s a mess.
I’ve given up on google/etc and now look for small communities on forums or discord.
The internet is dead
@PaulaMaddox Even the all-powerful 'site:reddit.com' trick for reviews/first-hand accounts isn't quite as it used to be. It all feels very bleak.
My #Thinkpad X200 (currently running #OpenBSD) is about to turn 16.
I bought it when it was already a relic of 9 years old.
Yet, I could just about daily-drive it today without really breaking a sweat. Especially using a BSD and an X11-based window manager, which leaves a lot of free RAM out of its 4GB available for other things, like actually running a web browser. XD
That's just crazy to me.
I remember when my belovèd old #Macintosh SE turned 16 (in 2006), it was just sitting in my closet gathering dust. It had a lot of sentimental value, but wasn't really usable to me.
RIP #MooresLaw. ;)
@slew no way! Well I actually have questions for you 😅
How hard was it to adapt your work to run on it? I haven't done work on a large AMD GPU cluster before. I assume mainstream ML stuff would be a pain?

Fascinating good-news story about a CTV camera operator who ends up getting life changing surgery as a result of a news shoot he was on.

@SecureOwl Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is best thought of as oily rags that companies keep around to squeeze for oil. (hat tip @pluralistic )
So OpenAI and their friends Mixpanel had an in-house fire of oily rags, but luckily, there was no fire damage at OpenAI. Well, then.
Seems to me that any company that keeps PII ought to be required to carry data breach insurance, or at least put sufficient money in escrow to pay customers for damages when the inevitable breach occurs.
Maybe $5/user/calendar quarter, maybe less if the company gets an annual audit that shows compliance with data privacy standards.
@grumble209 @SecureOwl @pluralistic
Companies need to stop treating personal information as a private asset and start treating it as a public liability.
@Craigp every time I see an interesting RPG on steam or whatever: oh wait it's multiplayer
Whenever I see a generated image of what is supposed to be Ada Lovelace, I feel compelled to work on my portrait drawing of her. Based on the only two photographs of her.
She wanted to be remembered, not turned into an AI-generated Victorian Bratz doll, and she thoroughly disagreed with the usage of machines without vision.
Yes of course, I check with admins before listing and I checked again with the ones listed as general servers.
They know they are featured in this way and said it was fine.

Post FLOSS is already there, considering datasets are full of our works and LLM interfaces and users don’t care about licenses. Just not the post FLOSS we expected.
