Two separate Hard Drives corrupted in as many days... User error?

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...

The CIFS errors and logs inside the VMs are rather uninteresting as they’re just passing through the underlying HW’s issue.

These logs presented here definitely indicate an issue between CPU and drives. Could also be RAM but I’d check SATA cables and controllers first.

How can I find the reason my PC crashes?

Lately my PC has started crashing while it plays videos. It freezes completely, screen frozen and not responding to any input (keyboard, mouse), I mean I cannot change TTY (alt + ctrl + F(1-2-…)), and it cannot even respond to alt + PrntScr + REISUB. I have to force power off by holding down the power button....

Not really. Distros usually build the same software slightly differently. If the bug is in a piece of software used by all distros such as the Linux kernel, it won’t make a difference.

Also if it is an 60fps video I start hearing the fans spinning like mad

Do you know that it’s specifically the GPU’s fans or is it just some fan spinning up?

Is it actually using your GPU to decode? You need a fairly modern GPU to decode many YT vids nowadays.

Distro for experienced Linux user

Hi, I’m looking for a distro for my laptop. My first distro was Pop!_OS, then I switched to Fedora, then Arch for a year and 2 months ago I switched to Fedora Silverblue, because I wanted to try immutable distro that relies on containers and flatpaks to be usefull. Silverblue is great but not so much for me, its not flexible...

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m thinking of switching to Arch but maybe it’s time for something else. Maybe NixOS or Void, Gentoo probably not, I don’t have time for compiling everything. What do you recommend?

I’m a bit biased of course but you sound like you’d enjoy NixOS.

NixOS is immutable but quite a bit more tinkerable than Silverblue. Not quite Arch or Void levels of tinkering but this topic is not as black and white as it may seem.

secure boot with signing with YOUR OWN KEYS

Not yet in upstream NixOS but: github.com/nix-community/lanzaboote

systemd (because of MullvadVPN),

Unrelated to evangelising you into NixOS but I’m curious: Why does a VPN proxy software have any hard dependency on a process manager?

Which is really bad value. Don’t do that unless you need the accessibility of Google drive.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

I meant value purely as in $/TB without factoring in all the other properties.

You can get object storage for $6-$7/TB/month from the likes of Wasabi and Backblaze.

For a more “fair” comparison, you can get Onedrive for $6/TB (+M$'s office suite) or 2TB for $10 at Dropbox, so $5/TB.

Though I guess Google does have a little more cost effective plan for $10/2TB aswell that I didn’t know about.

For reference: Google’s 100G and 200G plans are $20/TB and $15/TB respectively. I’d call a 3-4x higher price “really bad value”.

Lemmy.world deleting posts with archive links and posts questioning the decision.

Lemmy.world has somehow decided to become to extreme defenders of “copyright” and decided they will now delete posts that contain archive links in an absurd move that not even corporate websites like Reddit do. Archive links provide a service to provide access to an article long after it is deleted or changed....

The link you posted is a post by a mod announcing that they will enforce the policy given to them by the LW admins.

From the modlog I can tell that (presumably) you posted a text post to !politics about the policy that was then removed.

If you’re posting to !politics, such posts would obviously be removed because that’s A. not on topic (that’d be a topic for !lemmyworld. ) and B. not a link to an article. The latter is also the reason given for the removal.

Stirring up drama over absolutely nothing usually ends up hurting someone. Could you not?

price discrimination

So we took a family vacation recently and we had to drive halfway across America and what creeped me the fuck out was how we were getting such different prices on different phones while looking at the same hotel room on Priceline. For example I would look for a hotel in Chicago and find a room for a $180, then my cousin is also...

Dotfiles go in git, SSH keys are state.

I’m looking to migrate to home-manager though because I use Nix on all my devices anyways.

Interesting way to go about it. Though when I’m at the point where I need differences between linux and darwin, I’m probably going to do that at the home-manager level.

I always open YT in Firefox Focus, which doesn’t ever keep cookies or history each time I close it, so there’s no history for YT to mine each time I visit again.

This is not true. Google doesn’t much care about cookies; they employ far more effective means of fingerprinting.

Note that while chocolatey is a package manager in some sense, unlike “proper” package managers, it relies on the individual apps’ Windows installers to execute the actual installation functions.

It also contains tonnes of unfree software; it’s just a repository for installers afterall.

It’s a bug in the webp library; everything that can decode webp is affected.

I accidently rebooted during pacman update and now my system dosen't show option to boot into endeavour os. Systemd just shows option to boot into firmware interface please help!

I’ve lost everything and I don’t know how to get it back. How can I repair my system all I have is a usb with slax linux. I am freaking out because I had a lot of projects on their that I hadn’t pushed to github as well as my configs and rice. Is there any way to repair my system? Can I get a shell from systemd?

Note that this isn’t about immutability but atomicity. Current immutable usually have that feature aswell but you don’t need immutability to achieve it.

What AMD Drivers for 7900xt - Manjaro

I’ve installed Manjaro with KDE Plasma, most recent bundle(1week ago) from the Manjaro website. Been playing Path of Exile which runs great, but I’ve installed The Division 2, and there a flickering that make my eyes want off themselves. I’m running the open-source video-Linux 2018.05.04. Would it be better to switch to...

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

If you enter vulkaninfo into a teriminal, which driver does it use? You want RADV; 23.something or later. If it says AMDVLK, you want to uninstall that.

Which kernel are you using? You probably want the latest kernel (6.5) right now.

*defederated

Videos are shared p2p between users currently watching the same video. Even then they only keep a certain amount in cache to share with others, so they must watch roughly the same section of the video as each other aswell.

That is my understanding.

What a terrible graph. That “huge” spike is a mere 0.5% increase. That might as well be noise.

Don’t believe any graph whose y-axis starts at any value but 0 people.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Indeed the right sides of the graph start at 0. The left side does not.

Note that 2000/h (10^3) aren’t all that significant when there’s already 14000000 (10^7) users present.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

I can’t remember the last time I saw a graph starting at a non-zero value where it showed anything other than noise whereas they almost always skew my initial impression of the data. If there’s no point in doing it but a major downside, I see no point in having them for any reason other than to mislead people.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

You could count anything that is depended upon (a node in the dependency tree) as a library and anything that isn’d (a leaf) an app.

Note that some end-usor applications are not “leaf” packages but nodes as they are both a library and an app (i.e. yt-dlp).

Secure boot is only one small link in a chain of things that need to be working in order to have a system that is only halfway resistant against evil maids.

If you’re running Garuda, the rest of the chain is not present in any way.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Secure boot + encryption willy happily boot the maid’s initrd.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

You mean, like, there’s some more setup you need to do in order to build some actual resistance against evil maids; making secure boot a small part of a greater link?

Also, I still wouldn’t count such a setup as “half-way resistant against evil maids” as, in a setup like you describe, it’s almost trivial for an evil maid to go into firmware to disable secure boot and install their own bootloader instead of yours.

It’s dead already. Problem is that in the year of the lord 2023 ipv6 still isn’t really a thing yet, so IPv4 remains on life support.

If you’re already using IPv6 for everything, you don’t need to care about CGNAT in IPv4. I highly doubt that’s the case however.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same issue trying to connect a Nokia G60 with stock Android One ROM to two macs. Though only most of the time; rarely it just works.
