Yeah that was my assumption. But I hadn’t considered WOL being broadcast, so now I’m not so sure. I would assume it’s broadcast on both IP and Ethernet layer. It’s time to do some wiresharking :)

Maybe something else going on then, but ive never gotten WOL to work after a blackout when there’s two switches between sender and receiver. After powering up the receiver once, WOL works again

If you’re already using node-red, the Wake On Lan node works well, and with node-red it’s easy to trigger the magic packet based on whatever trigger condition you want.

The only limitation I know is WOL doesn’t work after a power outage, because the switch and RPI doesn’t know where to find the target machine

Zim Desktop Wiki is absolutely excellent

Yay, v15 is LTS

My gut reaction too. But their readme/faq makes a lot of sound points. Also Nextcloud is one of the main contributors, so you know it’s serious. Also Proton and Ionos (which I admit I’d never heard of, but they seem big)

You might be interested in an immutable distro. Like Bazzite or other Silverblue / Ublue flavoured system. They are recent but not bleeding edge, deploy well tested images that apply as all-or-nothing. Very stable, very featurful :)

You’re basically calling bullshit on a charity having increased fuel prices, because you’re not aware of any Iran conflict!

Perfect metaphor

Super aggressive scraping bots who ignore robots.txt

It’s not unique to Gnome, and it’s been a problem for a year or so

I imagine AI scrapers have a lot to do with the massively increased hosting costs. I’m assuming Anubis et al didnt fix all their bot traffic issues

Yes

Come to the dark side, we’ve got new Plasma, and exhausting manual configuration

For actual advice:

• run memtest to verify RAM. Do multiple passes, at least overnight.
• Check cooling? RAM and other things can overheat and cause locks, not just CPU.
• Can you throw a couple of different distros on there, to try different permutations of kernel and drivers, old and new.
• journalctl --follow (with sudo), dmesg -w. I ran these over ssh from a remote machine. Even better if you can run it on a local 2nd monitor. The point is to have them open the whole time since it’s too late to change once the system is locked up

I had / have a similar issue that started at some point on my Ryzen 7 laptop with Kubuntu 24.04. I haven’t tried REISUB yet, but otherwise same symptoms.

RAM is the usual suspect. I ran memtest for 24h++ with no errors Also tailed dmesg and journalctl to a remote machine, and checked journalctl after reboot. No errors reported. Presumably because the system hard locked before it had a chance to log the error.

I never found a root cause, but after I changed the KDE Power Profile from Eco to either Balanced or Power (I don’t remember which) the random freezing reduced from 1-3 times per day to once every few weeks of continuous uptime.

So my guess is some kernel driver bug relating to power states of the CPU ( or GPU nVidia 3060 with 590 drivers)

Doesn’t work in my experience, or I’m typing it wrong. I can use the journalctl boot filter to show the current boot, the 2 boots ago, but not the previous boot where the system crashed.

So I end up filtering by time instead with --since

See the trick is to never turn the computer off, to avoid wearing out the power button :}

That’s a sweet case though, maybe you can find a replacement power button

Ah, the computer of Theseus. My 20year old server of Theseus only has the chassis left of original parts. And an unplugged floppy and DVD drive xD

Add to that doing field work with slow and unreliable internet, and it literally takes 30 seconds to open the context menu in explorer. Gotta wait for corporate.exe to time out first. At least opening the start menu doesn’t literally take 30 seconds anymore, after a regedit change to stop it from searching online first.

Tldr: don’t let Perfect be the enemy of good

I don’t know about Codebergs policy on the matter, but morally I think there’s nothing wrong with putting open-source mods for closed-source games on Codeberg.
I always use FOSS software whenever possible, even if they’re lacking in some aspects compared to closed-source alternatives, but have no problems with closed source games. Games are entertainment, not utility. Games have a short lifecycle compared to utility software. Games are often a one-time experience, and when you’ve finished a game it’s done. (Nobody ever “finished” their use of Notepad). Meanwhile developers gotta eat.

There’s also some precedence for open-source projects that can only be fully accessed with closed source software, like open-hardware using Eagle for PCB and schematic design (before KiCAD truly took off), or Fusion360 for CAD ( FreeCAD development is accelerating though)

Good catch, that licence does not look very Libre =\

Well put, thanks for sharing. I submitted many of the same arguments as you, but not as eloquently or thoroughly :)
