It’s a gigabyte ab350m gaming-3 rev 1.0. it boots grub fine but then crashes right after displaying “loading Linux 6.x”, CPU led flashes then dram led stays on, I have to turn it off with the PSU switch.

Either it’s a rev 1.0 bug which is a thing on those motherboards, or the CPU (or igpu) is defective.

I’m currently waiting on support from both the seller and gigabyte but I don’t expect anything out of it, though I’m still yet to test it in a different motherboard.

Oh wow congrats, I’m currently in the struggle of stretching an ab350m to accept a 4600G and failing.

You’re right, you should hit PCIe 3 speeds and it’s weird, but the fact that the drives swap speeds depending on how they’re plugged in points to either drivers or the chipset.

I’m not fully familiar with the overheads associated with all things going on on a chipset, but it’s not unreasonable to think that this workload, plus whatever the chipset has to do (hardware management tasks mostly), as well as the CPU’s other tasks on similar interfaces that might saturate the IO die/controller, would influence this.

B350 isn’t a very fast chipset to begin with, and I’m willing to bet the CPU in such a motherboard isn’t exactly current-gen either. Are you sure you’re even running at PCIe 3.0 speeds too? There are 2.0 only CPUs available for AM4.

It might be that the data to both disks saturates a common link before the second disk reaches full iops capability, and thus the driver then writes at full speed on one disk and at half speed on the other, for twice as long.

Completely agree. Also, fuck the artificial scarcity culture in mk. Why are DSA drifters a collector item, they’re pretty but there’s nothing that says only 500 of them must exist.

The most likely explanation is that their previous implementation broke due to a website change, and they didn’t want to bother with fixing it. People began opening issues for them to fix it, but now it looks like they’re aiding people explicitly asking for piracy, so they can’t win (and also I’m willing to bet it fucking sucked trying to support that particular website)

I get mine from AliExpress. They’re by no means good, but I refuse to spend more than 30€ on plastic. I also get my board from there, there are some good deals on subpart boards that are actually quite serviceable.

This is a very standard AliExpress keycap set, it should be on the first page of results for “DSA keycap set”

Anything running on a copy-on-write filesystem can trivially rollback changes using a rescue partition.

I also expect most immutable distros would be able to be especially good at tanking this.

So obviously this sucks, however.

Look into timewarrior+taskwarrior. They’re the only tools I’ve ever seen for these types of tasks that don’t fucking suck ass.

Can’t really go wrong with the old school nagios+thruk. The learning curve is a tad steep but it teaches you a lot of things about your systems.

This and the initial article are central plot points in Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother.

It’s a YA novel about a guy who helps organize resistance against the government by hacking Xboxes. There are at least 2 sex scenes. The ending is deeply unsatisfying, perhaps because the author wanted to convey that he alone cannot possibly succeed

It’s a very educated guess based on the following:

The crash is a null pointer dereference, which a linter ought to catch.

The crash does not happen if you have crowdstrike sensor installed, which is weird because crowdstrike sensor’s job is not to prevent any crashes.

Hence the guess: the update the pushed tries accessing memory in sensor, but if it’s not installed the pointer is null and that’s Bye-Bye.

Oh but they did. Turns out that this is specifically caused by one driver expecting another to be installed, the other one being for another of their products. If you have the other product installed, it doesn’t crash, so it didn’t crash on their machines because they have all their products installed and apparently not a single element of their test matrix has the single most common configuration they service

No, not really. Of course if you are using a disk that’s full you’re going to have issues but as long as you have 16Gb free the performance will largely be the same for gaming.

I mean, the 64 Gb emmc does have lower performance on load times which could pose problems on certain games beyond just lengthening loading times, but NMS isn’t one of these games.

What does the 500 Gb model have to do with anything?

Sure, but racing games simply gate your progression for gameplay purposes. Here I’m just working at a job to eventually be able to afford my own ship, and I already do that for a house in real life. The progression isn’t gated by game mechanics, it’s gated by landlordism and capitalism. If I wanted to work a space job I’d just go played eve.

Ah great, space labor for when my earth labor day is over and I really need to unwind.

I assume the thing doing the auth for wifi is a radius server. Radius servers have a cache, and they may interrogate any domain controller to validate credentials. I am quite rusty on radius, but there should be a setting for it to have a lower cache time, to the cost of more traffic and shorter resiliency if all domain controllers are down.
