We do, but what I mean is this is yet another way Russia will benefit from the pedo-war. Oil goes up, they become a critical supplier of helium, they’ll make shitloads of billions to try and prop their own war machine back up. One big huge giant present to Putin, one dictator to another.

Gee I wonder who else has a lot of tappable helium- ah, right. russia.

I’ve never ran into issues either, but generally in any situation where data integrity is somewhat important, ECC is a very good idea. Its never a problem until suddenly it is.

I don’t give a crap about my Minecraft server having ECC, but a storage server where cached data gets written to disk, I’d rather have ECC ensure nothing gets corrupted.

ABSOLUTELY ECC memory, 32gb or higher if you can afford it these days as TrueNAS does benefit from a decent cache space, especially with so many drives to spread data slices across.

Realistically unless you expect multiple concurrent users, any 4 core or higher CPU from 2015-on will be plenty of power to manage the array. No need for dedicated server hardware unless the price is right

I have a Dell PowerEdge t3 SOHO/small business server tower that I gutted and turned into a 5x8tb config. It only has a middling 4 core Xeon 1225v5 and I never get above 50% CPU usage when maxing the drives out. More CPU is needed if you’re doing filesystem compression or need multiple concurrent users.

I believe you’re right but don’t know enough about the real back end magic to confirm. I want to say I once read that the DM was always broadcast to all servers but that seems pointless.
What matters is that dm’s are not private and should not be considered private, both in transit (during sending) and at rest (copy sitting at each server)

Yes. Click on any person’s username and under/next their bio there is a button to send a direct message. Not really a live chat thing yet, lemmy does not have the backend for that.

Note, DM’s over Lemmy are NOT encrypted, only obfuscated, any federated server can read the DM’s you send. Keep that in mind when choosing content to talk about.

The reset button is basically just a signal to the CPU/BIOS that it should wipe memory and begin the boot process from scratch. If it was not working, that indicates the CPU was hard locked and not responding to any sort of input, not just an os fault The power button sends an actual trigger signal to the PSU through the ATX connector so it bypasses any mainboard lock.

Random shit happens, see if it does it again.
My go to for random stability issues is to always run a full deep memtest to look for bad RAM and then a CPU stress test to see if it’s a random thermal or core issue. More often than not I find stability problems just with these two steps.

Its Nintendo custom hardware but the CPU is based on ARM11 RISC, so i dont doubt you could get some form of Linux running on it.

Don’t bother hooking it up to wifi, just let it run. My parents got one of those with their heat pump install and I never connected it to wifi. The heat pump itself has an exterior temp and humidity sensor it uses to manage defrost cycles. “They” are selling you bunk shit.

Also mechanical or basic programmable thermostats are still very available and whoever told you “you don’t have a choice” is lying to your face. If you paid your own money for it, return it.

Debian is what you make of it, definitely. But it is also inanely stability focused to the point of being a detriment. It takes many months for simple package updates to hit Debian repos and it leads to frustration when stuff I expect to be updated is still very much not. As a server distro I recommend it, but as a play around distro it’s a bit more annoying and you have to do a ton more self maintenance on packages to get the latest and greatest.

Brother they’ve been doing that for months

If you control the backend, it’s self hosted. Vast majority of people use VPS’s for many hosting purposes. Stupid semantic applixation of rule 3.

Sounds like a candidate for !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

All Linux distros are roughly the same under the hood. They have a version of the Linux kernel, a service management system, a basic set of packages and preinstalled software, and some kind of UI. How those pieces are put together realistically doesn’t change much. What distro maintainers then do is update the packages and kernel and make sure they work together.

Specific design distros like the one for scientific modelling is probably based around having a lot of data processing stuff built in. Unless they had a specially modified kernel (which is rare, but possible if they had to integrate special lab data collection hardware support), I see no reason why you couldn’t just recreate the same package structure on a modern Linux 6 kernel and have it be a spiritual successor to the original distro.

Neat! I see why people prefer flatpaks these days with keeping each install sandboxed.

The uid 0 part I think is why it shows SU, based on IanTwenty’s comment. Apparently a longstanding bug in MATE.

Yes I installed it from Flathub. IanTwenty’s comment says it is a longstanding bug with the MATE environment I am using, where flatpak’s running as a sandboxes process user ID show up as SU in the title bar when they actually aren’t.

Ah okay. And makes sense seeing as it does not ask for escalation at launch. I probably won’t worry about it then. Thanks!!

A Minecraft server is the classic.

Don’t discount just putting together a basic webpage that can be accessed at home too- something he could put together in a basic HTML editor (drag and drop) and put his favorite things on or whatever he may be focusing on (cars, animals, space, you name it).

1gb ram is crap. Hardware capabilities aside it’s just not enough to run anything usable for real hosting. Get an old office machine for 50-100 with 8gb or more of memory and it will do infinitely better.
