    Both are up to date. I actually suspect this is an issue caused by the newer firmware, but there is only one firmware version available when I looked into it.

    I ended up working around the problem, and just using the old NVME as the OS drive and using hibernate rather than sleep. It seems something about going into standby causes the problem, and the system going “cold” by parking onto the disk doesn’t cause the same issue.

    I’ve been having the same problem, and it’s not Linux specific; this happens on both my Linux and Windows partitions. I’ve yet to find a clear cause and no amount of changes to power consumption or boot parameters seems to fix it. In my case, the unit is also the boot/OS drive for both.

    I suspect it’s something related to the NVME, since I did not have the problem with my 1TB unit, it only started after replacing it with a 4TB one. Both are WD, though I don’t have the exact model on hand.

    I’d love to hear back if you find a fix, because it’s got me stumped.


  • I read a bit of fan fiction ages ago that extrapolated on what would have happened if Anakin had, at the pivotal confrontation with Mace and Palpatine, made the choice to support Mace instead.

    I liked the interpretation that it would have still resulted in Luke and Leia, since Padma would still have had the twins, but not in secret, and without force fuckery, would’ve survived childbirth.

    In this timeline, it results in a new high republic era, Anakin as a master, raising his children and them being his anchor to the light side. The friction in the story came from the politics of the Council disapproving of his attachment to his family, but it is also politically difficult to kick out the person who just saved their hides.

    While the story didn’t touch upon Ahsoka’s fate much, I would have loved to see a timeline where Ahsoka raised a family and her kids hanging out with the Skywalker’s.

    That alone has so much potential for storylines; there would still be remnant forces of separatists, rogue troopers, the death star plans being out there, and potentially Maul as well.


  • I mean, for 10 bucks anything is a decent deal. Those specs are pretty decent for a simple home server. I’m not familiar with HP thin clients, but I assume you can install a Disdro of your choice on it? My big reason to avoid HP is their crap software and warranties, both of which are moot here.

    I would say relatively light software like tailscale, pihole and such would be fine. Docker containers might be pushing it, but that depends largely on what containers you want to run, same goes for nginx; by itself the requirements are fairly low, it depends on what you want to run on it.

    Jellyfin might be a stretch, and as you alluded to, real-time transcoding is probably out. It strongly depends on the decoding capabilities of that chip and wether it does hardware decoding or if it all happens in software. The latter might be too much for it. If it can handle it though, it might be interesting as a media player hooked up to a TV, rather than acting as a transcoding or DLNA-esque server.



  • The effect you are describing is “viral load”; the degree to which a virus is present in the body. This is an indicator of how infectious you are. It is especially important for people with HIV to see if they are “safe” or need their medication adjusted.

    However, an at-home test will not be a good indicator of this. These have too many variables such as the site that was swabbed, time delays from the various biological functions, how well you used the kit and even variability in the kit itself.

    To properly test for viral load, a blood test should be used. I worked with a company that tested for viral load via expelled breath, and while this was a good indicator of infectiousness y/n, and was faster than a PCR, it was not more accurate.


  • Hey Op, since you appear to be somewhere in the EU based on your mention of Euro pricing, would you be willing to name and shame the wheelchair manufacturer and/or model?

    Without giving too much of my own personal information away, I might be in a position to cause a bit of ruckus for this particular company in terms of bad PR, possibly legislatively. I work for a company that profiles itself on doing this stuff “the right way” (secure practises, not screwing users this way, etc) and we are working on building a list of practises we are hoping to root out EU-Wide with some examples that are clearly exploitative.

    I need nothing personally identifiable, just the brand and model, and I can pass it along to the team that can investigate further.

    Tell me you’ve never used PHP without telling me you’ve never used PHP.

    It’s known for giving a complete stack trace, it’s nearest neighbours and their god damn grandkids the moment it so much as coughs up a warning. For the longest time it was notorious for doing this as the default error logging level.

    I’m aware it’s cool to hate on PHP, but it has plenty of things to dislike without straight-up inventing nonsense.
