I went to a panel presentation on the early colonies around the Revolution once. When they took questions, I asked if there was any special logistical problems Virginia ran into after due to how large the territory was and man, they treated me like a fuckin idiot. I still think about that. It’s not, like, important or anything I just don’t have a therapist for this sort of shit
should have asked them why, if they were so set on being independent, they didn’t change the name of the state to something OTHER than the queen of england
At the time I was 22 and didn’t have a firm grasp on the idea I could tell someone being rude to go fuck themselves. It was just a bunch of old folks pining for the glory days of national pride and dysentery, but like, fuck. Snuff out a curious light like that.
I’m older but in the same boat. Unless those younger people are part of proud technological illiterati, which really pisses me off for some reason. Probably those 30 years of being an IT drone…
No idea. I still wonder sometimes where the disconnect was, but I also just try to not let things like that get to me anymore. I’m having mixed success
It’s got a few answers. For the first one, the logistics were handled by not administering the territory, those were only claims. For the next one, logistics were handled by breaking them up into other territories that would become states since administering it wasn’t feasible. In the third, it was possible, but it caused problems. The civil war was not the only grievance west virginia had. They had been neglected for the better part of a century. Richmond usually didn’t care much about those on the other side of the mountains. In some ways the civil war was just a good time to do what they’d probably wanted to for awhile. Really the logistics are the reason virginia is the size and shape it is today. Now they have a capitol where they can be not cared for by locals.
I might be the 10th dentist but I grew up with the fake stuff and enjoy it far more. I didn’t understand why all of the “nice syrups” tasted awful comparatively.
On an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay gave this chef two similar dishes, and I believe the chef enjoyed the one that tasted like instant microwave food. So you probably just have shit taste. Fortunately, once Ramsay cooked some good food up for the guy, he shed tears and loved it. There is hope for you yet.
My favorite is when the title says remote or local to you, but then the body of the posting says you would be required to relocate and that it was intentionally posted in multiple cities to reach a wider audience.
If I wanted to work in Minnesota, I would have searched for jobs in Minnesota.
I don’t think they did it right. A) because he said he ran 32 miles on that loop or 451 and a bit loops and B) I think even if he ran all 3200 miles that year, OP is off by a factor of 10
I know it may seem that way, but the reality is, you just get exposed to the morons more often now, the average level of moron has actually gone down! just look at some of the shit people used to believe not 40 years ago
Maybe, at least 40 years ago those people would have only their local groups to feed from. Now it’s echo chambers with thousands and thousands of people all feeding off each other’s stupidity.
there are also 7 fucking billion people now, so there are more morons than there used to be, it’s just that there are also EVEN WAY MORE non-morons too.
I wouldn’t even call her a moron IF she took her ignorance and tried to learn from people that do this shit for a living. Go and learn about fossils, strata etc. That would be commendable.
But no, she’s a moron that thinks she’s on to some conspiracy instead of trying to grow and learn.
You haven’t given us much information about the CPU. That is very important when dealing with Machine Check Errors (MCEs).
I’ve done a bit of work with MCEs and AMD CPUs, so I’ll help with understanding what may be going wrong and what you probably can do.
I’ve done a bit of searching from the microcode & the Dell Wyse thin client that you mentioned. From what I can garner, are you using a Dell Wyse 5060 Thin Client with an AMD steppe Eagle GX-424 [1]? This is my assumption for the rest of this comment.
Machine Check Errors (MCEs) are hard to decipher find out without the right documentation. As far as I can tell from AMD’s Data Sheet for the G-Series [2], this CPU belongs to family 16H.
You have two MCEs in your image:
CPU Core 0, Bank 4: f600000000070f0f
CPU Core 1, Bank 1: b400000001020103
Now, you can attempt to decipher these with a tool I used some time ago, MCE-Ryzen-Decoder [4]; you may note that the name says Ryzen - this tool only decodes MCEs of Ryzen architectures. However, MCE designs may not change much between families, but I wouldn’t bank (pun not intended) on it because it seems that the G-Series are an embedded SOC compared to the Ryzen CPUs which are not. I gave it a shot and the tool spit out that you may have an issue in:
Wouldn’t bank (pun intended this time) on it though.
What you can do is to go through the AMD Family 16H’s BIOS and Kernel Developer Guide [3] (Section 2.16.1.5 Error Code). From Section 2.16.1.1 Machine Check Registers, it looks like Bank 01 corresponds to the IC (Instruction Cache) and Bank 04 corresponds to the NB (Northbridge). This means that the CPU found issues in the NB in core 0 and the IC in core 1. You can go even further and check what those exact codes decipher to, but I wouldn’t put in that much effort - there’s not much you can do with that info (maybe the NB, but… too much effort). There are some MSRs that you can read out that correspond to errors of these banks (from Table 86: Registers Commonly Used for Diagnosis), but like I said, there’s not much you can do with this info anyway.
Okay, now that the boring part is over (it was fun for me), what can you do? It looks like the CPU is a quad core CPU. I take it to mean that it’s 4 cores * 2 SMT threads. If you have access to the linux command line parameters [5], say via GRUB for example, I would try to isolate the two faulty cores we see here: core 0 and core 1. Add isolcpus=0,1 to see the kernel boots. There’s a good chance that we see only two CPU cores failing, but others may also be faulty but the errors weren’t spit out. It’s worth a shot, but it may not work.
Alternatively, you can tell the kernel to disable MCE checks entirely and continue executing; this can be done with the mce=off command line parameter [6] . Beware that this means that you’re now willingly running code on a CPU with two cores that have been shown to be faulty (so far). isolcpus will make sure that the kernel doesn’t execute any “user” code on those cores unless asked to (via taskset for example)
Apart from this, like others have pointed out, the red dots on the screen aren’t a great sign. Maybe you can individually replace defective parts, or maybe you have to buy a new machine entirely. What I told you with this comment is to check whether your CPU still works with 2 SMT threads faulty.
Good luck and I hope you fix your server 🤞.
Edited to add: I have seen MCEs appear due to extremely low/high/fluctuating voltages. As others pointed out, your PSU or other components related to power could be busted.
Yes, this is exactly the Dell Wyse 5060 with an AMD GX-424CC processor. This thin client is already old, which is why I decided to purchase a newer one with a better processor.
Anyway, thank you for your analysis! I learned a lot of new things. I will try to get it running with your advice and let you know how it goes.
However, this server will probably no longer be needed, since half of its cores are damaged. Previously, its computing power was fully utilized (the load was almost always 4.0), and it handled my tasks very well with four cores. Therefore, I cannot imagine using it with only half of its power available 😁
Would you consider sending it to Austria? I’d pay shipping charges (if it’s within reason lol). If you are, you can send me an email at: sneela-hwelemmy92fd [at] port87.com
Yes I would. Daft Punk’s songs are boring AF, except for their work on TRON Legacy. And their movie scoring was only good because of the movie’s editors. The soundtrack on Spotify is boring too.
The Dutch word for “amateurs” is actually “amateurs”, except “ama” is pronounced like it is in “Amadeus” and “eu” is pronounced like a really posh British person saying “oh”
Look, as you start to get up there in volts your standards shift. Those insulators that you used to turn your nose up at start to look pretty grounded, and you find yourself willing to jump a gap or two to get to know them better.
