according to that page the issue stemmed from an underlying system responsible for health checks in load balancing servers.

how the hell do you fuck up a health check config that bad? that’s like messing up smartd.conf and taking your system offline somehow

almost done re setting everything up after a catastrophic failure (ended up replacing multiple drives, the CPU, the motherboard, the psu, and the ram).

now I’m just running long command after long command, waiting for drives to zero, ensuring extended smart checks pass on new drives, cloning to my backup drives…

this things been down for a few weeks and I’m so excited to have it back up soon!

anyways, moral of the story is, the 3-2-1 strategy is a good strategy for a lot of reasons. just do it, it may save your ass down the line.

you can fix all of these issues at once by covering the lights with duct tape!

coffee and weed

depends on the job. shitty jobs I won’t give two weeks especially if there’s already animosity from management (which has lead to some pretty entertaining quitting stories). most I’ll do for something like that is ask my coworkers if they think they can get by without me (assuming I also liked the coworkers).

if it’s a job I liked, I typically give notice via email and then go and bring it up in person to the recipient as well.

depends on the type of solder but yeah, I’m not exactly holding it there tho. just high airflow at that temp for a few seconds to push the rosin underneath the chips. helps a lot with bga chips where water can actually get underneath the chip and short connections or leave debris even once evaporated. for actually reworking chips I use around 480c.

no. if you want to do component level board repair for water damge, this is how you do it professionally. I’ve been using this strategy for 5 years or so now and it has much better success rates than just cleaning the board with ipa.

maybe overkill for most people since it requires more specialized tools but if you go to a shop they’ll most likely use similar techniques at least to assess the damage

best way I’ve found to isolate and repair water damage is to open it up and apply some high quality liquid rosin to the water damaged areas. then hit it with hot air (300c should be fine) to get the rosin under all chips and connectors. lastly, do not clean the board, it can push the corrosion around and cause more issues.

yes. I think a lot of people can. the thing is, the people who can won’t be the runs running for office

Mexican and middle eastern and I’d die happy

in the same vein (storing more data in less bits) you should check out tagged pointers as well!

I don’t think that’s a useless implementation at all. code looks relatively clean, and it definitely has its uses in the embedded systems world.

we’re in a thread about a script that can download and activate windows editions in place for free…

honestly proton and lutris are godsends for getting old software to work. I feel like I can get old exes working on Linux that wouldn’t work on windows

it shouldn’t, but years of lobbying and demonization online certainly have made it so

I had a dell latitude for my first server. even when I removed the magnets, some how it still would detect that the kid was closed and turn off. I tried everything I could think of and more, without any luck. the solution? I removed the display entirely so it couldn’t be closed and only used it via ssh or a VGA monitor if I really needed it.

silence of the lambs at like 8. still one if my all time faves but I definitely could’ve waited a few more years to get into it lol

yesss join us

ducks also go crazy for blueberries. I raised a duck and they were always his favorite

I find it’s super rare any form of recovery actually works. best thing to do is pull the files you need off with a nvme/sata adapter then reinstall and replace those files. 90% when windows actually breaks there’s not much to be done (I try all forms of recovery every time though).

plus, 9/10 times the reinstall process is actually way faster than fighting with windows or searching for the problem online and getting hundreds of people asking you to run sfc \scannow.

very similar to rule 34 in terms of content. I haven’t been on it in ages tho so I can’t speak for it as of late. if I had to guess it’s probably had an influx of AI slop that’s causing issues, other online image boards have been suffering from that as well.
