You can set it up in Obtainium, works a treat.

Oooo this is super timely! I think this weekend is about to be all about my wiping the last of the family game laptops of the Windows menace before they get forced 24h2 crapola.

If you are decent with script type stuff, and have tasker, I believe you can build your own via kwgt:

You can use tasker to set up variables that kwgt then can render in several ways.

I’ve only done simpler things but it’s worked well for me for years.

This was one of the best things I’ve watched in a long long time. Thank you for sharing. I was 2 years old when this was recorded, but much of her talk resonates as urgently current and valuable.

For others who might be interested in similar, Douglas Englebart and his team discuss many similar aspects of looking forward toward where we are headed, through the lense of history.

“Choose interesting jobs”

THIS! A MILLION TIMES THIS!

The absolute best career choices I’ve made, in hindsight, were always from the interest in the work or quality of whom I was working with.

Took jobs for less pay, even turning down much higher offers, to choose the gig that was in the area I wanted to expand in.

Never accept just based on “it’s a few bucks more”. Unless it’s twice the pay AND you have something else to gain from the role, always grab the better experience or less stressful spot.

That server sounds a bit older in the teeth… Has new thermal paste been applied to the cpu? Even if the reported temps are under 90c, you might be getting hot spots causing glitches inside the package.

Worth trying a couple of different generations of kernel as well, both newer and older. You might be hitting a regression somewhere.

Holy crap that is comprehensive. Great timing since I’m about to wipe and redo my server from scratch.

Thanks for sharing!

Hate to break it to you, but CrowdStrike falcon is used on Linux too…

Absolutely this. Save trouble.

If absolutely in need of a backplane, look for old chassis parts from super micro on eBay.

First time reading this, thought talking about MS Windows for just a moment…

“You get back in the dumpster where you belong!”

Run SMART short tests on your drives. Any “pending sectors” at all are failure.

If the test has any problems, especially pending sectors, replace the drive.

Major typically writes these as much for his own notes / thoughts as anything. Having some insight into how he got where he is in the process can help some others learn. I’ve learned tons from the guy.

I’ve known him over 15 years, and he always has written posts for himself first. This isn’t a bad way, just maybe not the simplest for experienced folks. Laying out your own thoughts along the path can help later when you wonder why you did X instead of Y.

If you don’t mind a very easy to maintain ratio private tracker, Emporium has a ton of the stuff.
