Y’know the setting in the bios where you can choose boot on power restore, stay off or last state? This relies on a capacitor on the motherboard near the bios battery to store the last state. This 5 cent capacitor can die and sometimes behave like you are saying. I had a repair guy fix it cheap and that server worked normally after that.

I learned one morning that a cmos battery could become a resistor. It can fail in a way that it’s not working nor completely dead but passes just enough current to make a server motherboard that otherwise might A: Work, B: detect it’s dead/missing and boot anyway with defaults to instead C: just freeze and not do anything. That was a fun full day of time wasted.

You can connect a headscale derp server to a tailscale environment.

Neat!

Funny. It had me up until paragraph 5 negated paragraph 3. When you can netinst Debian and do all the things in para 5 with iceweasel without doing a single compile or chore from para 3 it’s a good reminder how far Linux has come in my lifetime. :)

You factor in that it’s SpaceX calculations. So an example could be between 10000 years or 10000 seconds.

Sounds like it would be a super fun nozzle clog situation.

Of course. Plus shampoo, toothpaste, razors and body wash would be claimable on tax. Haven’t figured out how to improve the shower coffee situation though.

Hey thanks, Steam is already an app, should we call it Ploom?

We have plenty of distraction free brain freedom. It’s the formality of the meeting. If I’m fighting to see Karen through the steam and pausing to spit toothpaste I’m less concerned about the passive aggressive way she’s telling me I didn’t submit my code on time.

Half of what I say in a zoom call isn’t worth listening to anyway.

This is Lemmy, I come here for the long winded and nonsensical.

Now there is a Tumblr meme waiting to happen.

Belgium is actually pretty handy at spinning up a weapons factory on short notice.

We need a Garry here quick smart squaddie.

Instructions unclear, now my NAS’s voice is squeaky.

1. Entropy is a law of our universe. All data wants to be lost given a long enough timeline and without attention.

2. Divide your data into what you can’t do without and what you may not care about losing.

3. Take a backup out of your hands, make it as automatic as possible.

4. I sync to encrypted folders on Google drive then use msp360 cloud to automatically copy everything in that drive to another cheap cloud storage that is client side encrypted.

For the protection it gives me, it’s cheap.

This post doesn’t benefit me at all but I love how long it is.

Who are you and how did you get in my sandbox?
