Edit- I set the machine to work last night testing memtester and badblocks (read only) both tests came back clean, so I assumed I was in the clear. Today, wanting to be extra sure, i ran a read-write badblocks test and watched dmesg while it worked. I got the same errors, this time on ata3.00. Given that the memory test came...
i’m going back and looking, but I may have deleted logs for the VM’s when I deleted the VM and started repair.
here’s a readout of one of the instances of trying to shutdown the VM and having to ssh in and ‘force’ a shutdown (didn’t think i was forcing it from the terminal window, but maybe I did?) Doens’t give much more information.
/var/log/pve/tasks/D/UPID:pve1:00000AD5:0000AEFC:652DD26D:qmshutdown:110:root@pam::TASK ERROR: VM quit/powerdown failed - got timeout
i’m still looking for more detailed logs, but i’m starting to wonder if you’re right. This makes me more sad than having messed something up myself, because fixing it would involve buying more hardware :(
oop, just found some better ones in the journalctl. These were happening way earlier than I thought:
and here are some of the one’s i was seeing when I popped open the console while it was happening. pve1 was the mount device to the VM running the OMV server I think:
Oct 14 23:14:14 pve1 kernel: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 1801348384 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x1000000 phys_seg >
and a bunch of these, looks like they happen after a lot of I/O errors happen and the system can’t reach the smb server anymore:
Oct 16 13:25:04 pve1 kernel: CIFS: VFS: \192.168.0.135\plex_media BAD_NETWORK_NAME: \192.168.0.135\plex_media
Here’s ones from yesterday, probably around the time i was getting the new HDD back up again. These call out the sata port specifically, and it’s running repeatedly in a loop:
There are actually kind of painting a picture. The culprit looks like that sata port, i’ll see if i can switch it to another and do some test writes, maybe that’ll fix it
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !thepoliceproblem
“Firefish is a hot new microblogging platform”: it’s not that “new” at all, #Calckey, which has been around since 2021, has only recently changed its name to Firefish
the antennas / news picker had apparently not yet been fully understood by the author: they do not fill retroactively and it is a full-text search that also finds parts of words. Therefore, if it doesn’t fit, search words can be excluded - it works very well for me! If you use it for a little longer instead of just taking a quick look, you can use it to structure your content very well.
“Lack of an official app is kind of disappointing”: “official” apps are perhaps important as a “brand” for some, the so-called “Mastodon” app is also the worst app ever for Mastodon (fortunately with many better alternatives). The PWA for Firefish works great on all devices, if you don’t want to miss out on any features and want the best look, you don’t need an app.
The biggest hindrance at the moment right now is the flagship instance at firefish.social:" The instance has clearly communicated that it primarily serves as a test instance, i.e. it does not strive for or want to guarantee stability. In contrast to mastodon.social, Firefish itself also makes clearer reference to the selection and there are now really many Firefish instances.
For me, the biggest disadvantage of Firefish at the moment is that it doesn’t yet federate properly with Lemmy.

We Finally Have Proof That the Internet Is Worse::High-profile lawsuits against Google and Amazon have revealed Silicon Valley’s vise grip on our lives.
Correct. No one can use something that they don’t know about.
Right now Lemmy is really best for centralized populated instances that have a similar experience to being on Reddit. Federation is a bonus. There are a lot of problems with trying to access content on other instances. Weirdly, the name of the sub is not shown in the URL for posts. Someone might be able to create an alternate web client, but that adds another layer of complexity for people who just want to run the site.
The main problem with federation is that there’s no “site” that people know to go to.
Ha, and that’s if you can even time the order it actually goes through, since they still haven’t improved their store despite repeated instances of resellers buying them out immediately. Gosh, I wonder if they themselves “buy” the product to resell under different names at incredibly elevated prices. Nah, that would be illegal, and corporations clearly follow the law nowadays, right.
And yeah, not only have these chucklefucks done nothing to improve their ordering or stock situation, they can’t code either so software such as for the Pocket is still unfinished and lacking. These shitheads are selling crap on empty promises, and not delivering, all the while keeping the scam going since too few have noticed this company is propped up by years old rumored quality. Sure the hardware is nice, but it’s always late and there’s never enough, which hardly matters when the morons can’t competently write the software to go with it.
In order for off-instance content to appear in search (or at all) it has to have been federated, and only communities that have at least one subscriber, are federated to the local instance. If some other community, on another instance has no subscribers on your instance, it doesn’t even appear in “All”. To get that first sub, someone just has to “know” and write it’s exact name in search, for your instance to reach out and establish federation to the off-instance community. Most apps can’t even do that step, you have to do it via the webUI, though I know Thunder can do it since a recent update.
The reason an instance can’t search the entire fediverse, is that it doesn’t know about the entire fediverse.
External web pages like lemmyverse.net don’t either, but unlike instances they go out looking for what’s out there, rather than only connecting to communities at least one user has told it about like the instances do.
The idea is to only cause federation traffic between instances where its actually wanted. For a truly fediverse-wide search, every time you search, your instance would also have to ask every other instance for search results, then return and compile those thousands of results from thousands of instances. It’s not a sane way to do things.
In the future, it’s more likely that instances or clients will connect to “search providers” like lemmyverse that maintain indexed databases of the fediverse, and be able to get results without hitting the actual network with a search query at all. It’s possible some form of more advanced indexing will become a part of the instance server software itself.
But vry little work around this has been done, but you can see it in places. Thunder, the client I’ve worked on, only has basic search right now, but there has been talk about solving this problem within the app, eventually, by providing results from lemmyverse.

Does ActivityPub send those to other instances, or does ActivityPub only send the original post and the rest (upvotes, downvotes, replies) are stored only on the original server where the post was made?
Lemmy admins can see who is using alts to brigade others and ban them, yet they clearly don’t. They allow all kinds of skeevy bullshit from everyone – it took months of pressure to get them to even do so much as ban obvious problem instances like Hexbear.
They do it because they are selfish assholes who only care about power, and everyone just accepted they’re the dominant class in our little society here and that the big name instances like .world and .ml are perfectly fine with controlling the majority of content on the platform. It was never what was intended for federation in the first place, yet here we are.
Lemmy sucks as a platform because it’s not programmed to circumvent people’s base animalistic hierarchial nature and that is its problem.
The platform should automatically track for obvious alt and bot accounts and ban them.
It really should have a toggable hate filter that automatically bans people for using certain hate terms.
Accounts need to be tied to user machines so bans are actually halfway enforceable.
The platform shouldn’t really require mods or admins; an AI should monitor interactions and stop arguing or antagonistic encounters outright.
But none of that is happening because no admin is participating in good faith, they’re just looking to ensure they can do what they want without consequences, and so are the mods who have claimed almost every old subreddit name across instances under a few select usernames so they could have power over others and win confrontations.
And people can get away with power tripping because the platform wasn’t designed to take the fact that people do that into account. Any platform or social system that is not built on the first principle that humanity is inherently evil is bound to fail, and look what happened here. Perfect example.
I’ve been posting in the meme communities in Lemmy for a few months now. For the most part, if I make some silly meme about how broke I am or how bad American healthcare is, it doesn’t get removed and the meme does well. But I’ve had several memes get removed that I was pretty sure don’t violate the rules of the instance...
Relevant detail: the modlog shows who did what, but only if you’re a mod of that comm. Based on that, I think that it doesn’t show it to the rest of the userbase to avoid mod harassment.
However I think that it should show to the rest of the userbase, at least, “[comm name] mod” or “[instance name] admins” instead of simply “mod”. And there should be an easy way to contact the relevant group behind a certain mod action, that does not involve direct messages!
Another thing that I feel like missing is a proper channel for comm mods to “upstream” reports to instance admins, when the content fits the community rules but may or may not be in violation of the instance rules. That would indirectly help other users because there’s a clearer division of responsibility, and you won’t get situations like “comm mods need to take an educated guess on how to enforce instance rules that they did not set up”.
Without doxxing myself, I worked for a small firm that helped “tech for good” companies to build their MVP or product towards Series A-C funding.
In the four years I worked with them, I don’t remember a single project there that wasn’t tainted by corruption, dodgy owners, or outright lies. This ranges from:
The owner of a popular wellness and workplace stress app getting pissed off with me because a bug was found in a Node backend I had built for her (a PDF upload didn’t fill the correct fields in the DB). Her support contract was up with us, so she took the sane approach - literally calling my employer out on LinkedIn, and me by name as being an “incompetent developer”. Legal got involved, and she had to issue an apology online.
Several instances of outright lying in pitch decks about customer numbers and eco credentials to get “green” funding.
The company itself transitioning to crypto, despite pushing the fact that they only work on tech for good projects, while being run by a COO with a history of being inappropriate, having heavy drug/alcohol use, and being genuinely fucking useless in the world of tech.
A workplace surveying tool to unlock happiness in the workplace getting funding through our work, then deciding to fire the entire fucking team we had built to run their product because they wanted to cut costs and sell to the highest bidder - a company notorious for horrendous workplace practices.
Someone bragging about their CTO working at Amazon for 5 years. While true, it was in a fulfillment center.
Countless charities that burn through money in ways you wouldn’t believe, or act hypocritical to their main mission. Imagine trying to fire someone at a mental health charity because they needed time off from stress, or making dead kid jokes at a fundraiser for a children’s charity…
Working at that place made me realise that sometimes the best you can hope for is a leadership structure that aren’t total assholes, and to work on something that you at least have some faith in.

There are uses of AI that are proving to be more than black and white. While voice actors, have protested their performances being fed into AI against their will, we are now seeing an example of this being done, with permission, in a very unique case.
I don't use that, but from what I see it seems to have a drop-down for name selection, just like any other instance of this. Certainly not "infinite names". A quick Google even shows a forum thread in their official forums to request specific names to be added.
So good for them on crowdsourcing the name list, I suppose, but for games that have a set release instead of being an ongoing, live database service the lists tend to be very limited and more often than not anglocentric. Even in sports games like NBA or FIFA where they just let you pick any existing name in the commentary database.

Oh no. I also see people suggest we need to attract users and generate content for Lemmy by any means. […] It drowns the regular stuff and it’s a sure way of not attracting normal people ever again.
I agree with you that the best approach would be to let them have some “containment cages” here and there. They tend to attract legal trouble and get deplatformed anyway.
I’m from Germany. It used to be a thing on the internet to make fun of people from Austria. Not because they speak differently, but because they were a minority on the internet.
I remember seeing a bit of this in Krautchan. Sometimes it sounded like plain humour, but sometimes as punching down (like claiming that Austrians on the internet were actually German shitposters, since there was no internet in Austria), or some local hate boner against “Serwus”.
Do you happen to have better examples?
Yeah, that’s stupid. Hunsrik isn’t spoken in Germany. And 200 years ago when this seperated, Nazis weren’t a thing.
Remember the conflation between country and language? Their logic goes like this: Hunsrik is just a fake name for German language (implicitly Standard German), and this gets “proved” by the fact that there’s a Germany in the map but no “Hunsrikland”. The same reasoning is the one used against Talian (the name doesn’t help).
The “Nazi” association that people do is mostly to make the person look like the bad guy for speaking a minority language. It’s the same thing with “batateiro” (roughly “potato guy”), to imply redneckness.
Perhaps not surprisingly it’s the same sort of person who makes a big deal out of Portuguese as spoken in Brazil vs. in Portugal, Angola, etc., by pretending that “Brazilian Portuguese” is 1) internally homogeneous (nope) and 2) has some defining, linguistic feature (nope too). As if crafting a language out of nowhere, to fill the “gap”.
On the internet there are also technical reasons on top. To be able to moderate things, you need to be able to understand what is said. If you don’t have moderators for a language, you sadly have to ban that language. Or be happy to have an unmoderated corner on your instance.
I’ve thought about moderation for this, as I was creating a local comm. Back then, I’ve concluded that it isn’t a big issue. Troublemakers beeline for the majority language (for visibility), and by the time that casual rule-breaking in a minority language becomes an issue, you’re probably able to ask for help from speakers of that language. Context also helps a lot.
I don’t have too much insight about how it feels to be on that side. I live in a part of Germany with a bit of a dialect. Nagging people about how they speak is a thing. But I really appreciate that we have dialects and not every person I meet is exactly the same. I think most of the people I’ve talked to feel the same. And I myself feel attached to my region, maybe more so than to the nation as a whole. …I’d have to think about that, you can’t really compare the two things.
That’s a great sign - for your community, the sense of belonging is still there, strong. That shold be the normal.
In Germany perhaps a better example would be the Sorbian speakers, I don’t know. But for Europe as a whole, Vergonha (“The Shaming”) is sadly a textbook example of it.
But I have to make a distinction to dialects when talking about written language. You can’t really write in dialect. Just speak. And hence things don’t translate into the online-world.
Also, thank you for this conversation! (Sorry for not using German with you; I’m not too proficient in the language yet, and keeping it in English benefits other posters here.)

I first have to find an instance that would be okay with your software.
I’m thinking of building a whole network of different instances based around specific interests. I have for selfhosted (which will be for devops in general), soccer, basketball, american football, tennis, crypto/blockchain. Maybe I should set up one for TV/Movie/Music discussion. Any good ideas for a domain name? :)

EDIT: You know, after some time to cool off, Google Authenticator 2FA can still be enabled and isn’t being phased out like the less secure SMS 2FA, so it’s really not the end of the world here. The chance of permanent lockout is avoided, even if the whole Google Prompt system is still wack.
You’re wrong, btw, the Google Prompts feature is Default and cannot be turned off.
Only if there's a previously-authenticated device. That setting can't be enabled without a key, and one of the required keys is produced locally by a logged-in device (which is why your device is trusted to stay logged in indefinitely). If enabled without a key, it's nonfunctional and should error itself out and revert to a disabled state.
If that somehow hasn't happened (which, in all honesty, would be very surprising to learn) and the setting is enabled on your account, then that'd be something you'd need to submit a request to Google to have fixed, otherwise you have zero recovery on that account.
Are you a thousand percent sure you've never had any other device logged into that Google account? When you attempt to log in, it should show you the device name it's sending the request to. For instance, when I log into my Gmail from an Incognito window right now, it says to check my Pixel 6 Pro. What's it saying for you?
That would definitely be a good way to make the heads of those who unironically claim that taxation is theft explode. Though I’m much more a fan of phrasing it as private property. It’s a little more constructive and concise. Even those that are being disingenuous would generally reflexively ask what other kind there is. Besides public property of course. Which is an excellent opportunity to explain concepts like personal property. Whether or not they’ll be listening. Because others might.
I think it’s dangerous to assume/conflate passion with childishness/name calling. For instance the word tankie. Yes some of them have unironically embraced it. But generally it is just name calling as well. Granted many will whine that you’re calling them names. Even when you’re just labeling then as what their words and actions show then to be. Not all names are created equal. Which is why I stick mostly to calling them Leninist/Stalinist/Maoist etc. Which ever is more applicable. Because it’s what they clearly are and espouse. Most of them don’t own a tank however. And the average person wouldn’t understand the reference.🤷 That said, if name calling is the only thing someone had to offer. Yeah fuck that.
