Honestly don’t know why people are up in arms and even posting about it. They aren’t saying they are removing the capability, just the default. Big whoop.

It’s a dumbass AI-powered recommendation engine with an awful GUI. That’s about it.

As far as it being malicious, that’s really up to you.

Depends on when you deleted it and how much activity time on that drive has passed. If it’s just an ext4 drive and you haven’t had a large number of changes to that partition since it’s been deleted, some different recovery tools may find it.

Photorec is pretty capable though, so if it’s not finding it, that’s probably the end of that.

1. Boot into a LiveUSB of the same version of distro you tried to install
2. View the drive mappings to see what they are detected as
3. Ensure your newly created partitions can mount correctly
4. Check /etc/fstab on your root drive (not the LveUSB filesystem) to ensure they match as the ones detected while in LiveUSB
5. Try rebooting

It starts with the hardware first. You started well with tuning your CPU/MEM frequency settings, but that matters less if you’re running giant PSUs (or redundant), more drives than you need, and a huge number of peripherals.

Get a cheap outlet monitor to see what your power draw is and track it at the wall. I just got these cheap Emporia ones. I’m sure there’s more reputable ones out there.

Don’t go crazy with your networking solution if you don’t need them. PoE switches draw tons of power even when idle, and a 24-port switch is a huge draw if you’re only using 3 of them.

Consider getting a power efficient NAS box for backend storage, and low power Minipc for frontend serving instead of using a power hungry machine for all your network apps.

You can dive deeper into any angle thing, but these are the basics.

Dude…I’m not even eating my time with y’all who have zero clue as to how QA/CI/UAT works. It’s such a waste of time.

Steam/Proton is only tested for KDE/GNOME, and that’s it. Hands down. Not even up for fucking debate. It’s a FACT.

You can read the docs, repos, GitHub Issues, forums, and everything else you want. That’s the facts, and it’s not going to change. Just because it’s OSS doesn’t mean they have all the time in the world to make sure your edge cases work FFS.

If you’re using a custom WM, your experience is going to vary WRT to Steam/Proton being able to run properly.

Project looks dead, and last commit was 2 years ago. Probably just some incompatible difference between a modern build and whenever the last work was done on it.

Read the real docs and repo though, not just somebody’s post about it: https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool

Well there is Appinage or Flatpak. Either one of those.

Depends. What does race have to do with it in your mind?

Generally a “seething hatred” towards anything or anyone as a large group is probably a signifier of mental health problems.

There’s only so much reliability you can build into a simple home setup without it being a major loss on investment. In a datacenter situation, you’d have fault tolerance on all the network ingress: load balancers, bonded interfaces, SDWAN configurations…etc.

Unless you want 3 of everything you own, just do the basics, OR I guess consider hosting it elsewhere 🤣

Focus more on why the service is going down, and solve for that. Make it reliable by restarting automatically in the face of failures. A Reverse Proxy should be dead simple, and not change states between restarts, so it shouldn’t be dying in the first place. Having it restart on failures should be simple and reliable.

Which file did you edit for these Grub changes?

Hmmm, it does seem they’ve finally raised prices. Well that’s a huge bummer.

I can’t say the 3 options you posted are really good deals, but maybe that’s just the market in Australia. I’d check to see what the max RAM in those are and upgrade to at least 16GB though. It should still be cheap for non DDR5.

Anything can be a “server” in your use-case. Something low power at idle will not cost an arm and a leg to run, and you can always upgrade later if you need more.

Check the Minisforum refurb store and see what you can get for under $150.

GRUB loads before any kernel driven hardware module, so this machine is just working on the native orientation of the CMOS and Display at that point.

Seems to suggest that the fbcon argument should work, but which version of Grub you’re using matters. Make sure you update initd if using Grub2.

OHHH…you didn’t get an actual on screen prompt, you just decided to reinstall. My bad.

Wait…wha?

What prompted you to reinstall your ENTIRE OS? That should almost never be necessary under any circumstances.
