I got a new AIO cooler and needed to also move to a bigger desktop case.

So I moved all of my internal components from one case to the other and also removed the old AIO and installed the new one. Besides that, I might have damaged my PSU in the process so I had to replace that too. It wouldn’t turn on anymore so I just replaced it this morning.

I tried booting into Windows and it went to a BSOD saying cache_manager was the problem.

I tried to get a recovery in there and Windows tried to automatically repair drives but kept coming up on this same error.

I created a KDE Neon live USB and booted into that. Zero issues. I then manually formatted my Windows OS disk in KDE and also removed the Windows bootloader. Basically trying to start from a scratch system with no Microsoft any.

Still getting the BSOD, even with the Windows 11 USB installer I created from their creation tool. I am able to get to that purple screen in the installer and see a cursor to move around with my mouse. That

Over the week, I've been slowly moving from mdadm raid to ZFS. My process was:

• create ZFS pool on secondary server
• rsync all files over to zfs server
• Nuke mdadm array on primary and set up zpool
• ssh dataset from secondary server to primary server.

This is 15tb of data and even over gigabit, it took a day and a half to transfer. It finally finished tonight, and somehow I'm the owner and group of every single file. In addition to this generally being weird, it also broke some docker volume binds, and I generally don't want it.

It looks like the same is the case for the files on the secondary server too, so it must have happened during the initial rsync.

Fortunately, I also rsynced to some offline drives which kept ownership fine.

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how the hell this happened. The rsync command I used was:

 undefined

    
sudo rsync -ahu --delete --info=progress2 -e ssh /mnt/MONSTERDRIVE/ [email protected]:/bluepool/monsterdrive/

  

At least I'm pretty sure this

You have a dependency discrepancy with your local node modules and your global. You should be running this in a node virtual environment so all of the local projects dependencies don’t conflict with global.

I have searched around for answers to this, but so far, the solutions I found and tried have not been working for me. Thankfully, the update isn't that critical, so time is not of the essence as of now. But I fear, the problem will only persist.

So, bit of a headscratcher: I am following the guide to upgrade (no Docker) from here.

Simple enough, right? Sadly, I k

EDIT: Solved, thanks to [email protected] pointing out here, that I was missing a proper domain for smtp_server. I thought I had tried that already, but I probably had some other settings borked up when I did.

So, I am currently in the process of setting up a PeerTube and Lemmy instance, both on a dedicated Server running Debian 12. PeerTube seems to work properly by now, but the SMTP settings for Lemmy have been a bit of a headscratcher, and I wasn't able to find a solution.

To set up Lemmy, I followed the "from scratch" guide, and, besides the mail issue, it seems like everything else is working so far.

Note that I am currently in the process of learning-by-doing with this whole project. So, I would not rule out, that I may have overlooked something really obvious and stupid, sorry for taking your time, then.

EDIT2: Hello, person most likely from the future. I have solved this by reinstalling dovecot and basically re-doing everything from scratch (after I tried, briefly, to get 2.4 running, but there are no easy guides yet, and I am in fact a newb).

So - the problem was this: I was following this guide, which is fine, but I missed, that it needs a config that includes %n instead of %u as the username format. So, when I looked up solutions to my problem, and - having forgotten that - updated the config to %Lu, the system wasn't able to find any usernames any more, because looking up the whole name was returning in a (frustratingly silent in the journalctl output) error.

switching it to %Ln did the trick! In hindsight, that makes all the sense!

*EDIT: Okay, after some more testing and such, I think something I did yesterday evening in a sleepy stupor must have borked things even more. Now, the mailserve

This is a really weird problem that I can't seem to track down further. Perhaps a creative person could suggest some test ideas. Here are the facts:

• Firefox "Unable to connect" to my LAN server (a router) at 192.168.0.2 port 80.
• Network error is specifically "NS_CONNECTION_REFUSED".
• Wireshark on a Raspberry Pi placed between the laptop and server shows no packets exchanged trying to connect. Any packet containing 192.168.0.2, any port.
• Chrome and Safari work just fine on the same machine. I can see the packets in Wireshark. This validates my test setup works.
• Curl works, loads the web page. I can see the packets.
• I have reinstalled, refreshed, removed all extensions, cleared all history and cookies in Firefox and still cannot load the page.
• Firefox in Safe Mode cannot load the page.
• Disabled DNS over HTTPS, made sure No Proxy is selected in network settings. Still cannot load the page.
• Disabled IPv6 in Firefox with about:config setting. Still fails.

I have a full sized HDD in a USB 3 dock, and my power settings inactive timer is set to 300 minutes. This doesn't appear to be applying to the docked HDD, as it spins down in about 5 minutes or less. It takes forever to spin back up when I access it, so how can I change this?

Has anybody gotten this to work? If I set up multiple MFA devices with my IAM accounts, they all work flawlessly. But if I set up multiple MFA devices with my root account, only the original MFA device works. No matter how carefully I set up and synch a secondary device, it simply will not work with root. As the linked article says, this should be possible with either root or IAM (though in the past this was not the case). Thanks.

Hello everyone!

I have a thinkpad t420 (without a discrete gpu) and I am hitting up to 95℃ on a full cpu load (for example, writing large files to a zstd=15 btrfs filesystem on a LUKS volume), even in my very cold room (I am wearing three sweaters as I'm typing this). Everyday tasks like watching videos bring me up to around 65℃. I got this laptop second-hand, but pretty sure the former owner has never repasted it.

So, is it a good idea to replace the thermal paste to improve cooling? If so, what thermal paste should I go with? I have Arctic mx-4 on hand, would that be an improvement? What about liquid metal?

Also, for my own understanding, I would be grateful if someone answers these questions: does thermal paste "dry out" over time? Is there such a thing as a "bottleneck" when it comes to cooling? For example, could it be that upgrading the thermal compound won't yield lower temps, because the heat pipes or the fan are the bottleneck?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I disassembled t

Originally posted on beehaw technology. So I have some .opus files that I want to convert to .mp3. I used ffmpeg CLI with a script from https://ottverse.com/convert-all-files-inside-folder-ffmpeg-batch-convert, I used the wav to mp3 one but put opus instead of wav. The output is always in the same folder, and I want it to go to another, how can I do it? (windows 10)

SOLVED

So the mini HDMI cable was very loose. I used some jewelry pliers to crimp the male connector and made a tighter connection, now It works!

A friend gave me this GH4 a while ago. I got it working using the mini HDMI out on the camera and this capture cardand through a powered USB hub (also tested through direct to PC). Now after refiguring my setup, I had to disconnect my camera from my setup for a few minutes to move things around. However everything was turned off before disconnecting. I plugged everything back in, and now my source on streamlabs displays my capture card as just a black screen. It registers that it is connected, but there is nothing going through. could it be a setting in the GH4 that got reset, the HDMI port on my GH4 is faulty, could it be the capture card? I'm at a loss and I am very distressed over this. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

Solution

Yeah, the drive is dying. As suggested by @nous@[email protected], and @[email protected], I ran a S.M.A.R.T. test (the short option), and received the following report:

Hello, when I select something, an annoying popup appears that shows me results, but I want to get rid of that, so do you know what I can do to stop that popup from appearing?

How can you crosspost?

This is new since yesterday, I don't know what's happening. My PC has been partially powering off suddenly and without warning. My displays lose input, my peripherals turn off, and the computer stops responding to everything. It's still "on" with fans spinning and the power button's LED is lit, but won't respond to holding down the power button to force it to shut off. The only thing I can do is turn it off at the power supply or unplug it.

I thought it was a one-time thing, but it happened again today. I've never seen this before. Anyone have any insight into what's happening?

Edit: I ran a memory test which came out clear. I ran stress tests on CPU & GPU, which didn't cause any issues. My temperatures have always been fine, with nothing ever going above 75 degrees. Eventually, the BIOS lost track of the date/time so that pretty much gave it away. The computer eventually stopped booting entirely, so I replaced the CMOS battery and everything seems to be running fine for now.

I tried adding 2 new RAM sticks to my computer. It was powered off, but had the power cord in (not sure if that makes a difference).

When I booted up , it didn't post, and showed the cpu debug led. I reset the CMOS, but it still shows the cpu debug led and doesn't post.

Any advice is appreciated

• MSI x570-a-pro
• 5800x3d
• 32gb ram @ 3600 xmp
• New 32gb ram @ 2600 xmp
• 6800xt

I stuck a butter knife into the CMOS battery jumper for 10s with the power off and the cord disconnected, this had no effect.

I'm worried because the debug LED is stuck on CPU, and not mem.

I have tried removing all the ram, and only using 1 stick, etc but no difference

Help me Tech support, your my only hope

Edit:

Turns out one of the RAM sticks wasn't seated properly.

I now have 64 gigs of RAM running without XMP. I'm testing this now to see if it is better for me than 32 gigs of 3600 MTS.

My use case is running and debugging SIEM software. So I feel like more fun is going to be better than faste
