Hm this mortuary guide looks interesting…

This is all I’ve run across on reverse engineering, so far but it is quite interesting.

Remember Star Trek III…?

Well maybe they aren’t experienced info security professionals :)

I get where you’re coming from but is he managing his risk or not?

Does he understand the risk? If yes, good. No? Bad.

Is he ignoring the risk? If yes, bad. No? Good.

Is he weighing the risks against the benefits he receives of using these apps and taking appropriate steps to mitigate those risks? If yes, then good. No? Bad.

Cyber security isn’t “lock everything down at all costs”. Otherwise I would insist you throw your phone in an incinerator along with all your computers, live in a bunker reinforced against nuclear attack with a small army to guard you, never leave it, never talk to anyone… Etc.

It is enabling one to achieve their goals with a tolerable amount of risk. That level of tolerable risk is different for everyone.

I bet it will be in the $10 range in a year.

And sure bears uncanny resemblance to the antichrist (who IIRC was based on some asshole Roman Caesar or something… Who was probably a crooked, narcissistic piece of shit like DT)

Totally agree. Have been there and done that quite a few times too.

Hopefully people with more of a clue than me will chime in… Meanwhile, my best swag is the filesystem had issues and had to do an fsck? If that’s the case it would boot quickly next time assuming a clean shutdown.

Were there any errors during boot?

Fastboot enabled in BIOS or no? (Not sure if this has anything to do with anything I’m just trying to look useful)

PS: the weird active time could maybe somehow be related to the filesystem being borked needing fsck? I’m not sure.

…so far! This looks amazing!

I imagine they’re not awful fond of Russian invasions, either.

Load average of 400???

You could install systat (or similar) and use output from sar to watch for thresholds and reboot if exceeded.

The upside of doing this is you may also be able to narrow down what is going on, exactly, when this happens, since sar records stats for CPU, memory, disk etc. So you can go back after the fact and you might be able to see if it is just a CPU thing or more than that. (Unless the problem happens instantly rather than gradually increasing).

PS: rather than using cron, you could run a script as a daemon that runs sar at 1 sec intervals.

Another thought is some kind of external watchdog. Curl webpage on server, if delay too long power cycle with smart home outlet? Idk. Just throwing crazy ideas out there.

I don’t miss that life. Hope it doesn’t totally blow up. Be sure to have the rubber chicken handy. It will fend off many evil malfunctions.

Fucking fantastic. I gotta block more news before I lose it JFC.

Two…thousand…? So if I tend to get obsessive about and addicted to games but want to stay married, I should probably skip rimworld?

Not op. I installed windows 10 on my custom built desktop and my kids custom built desktop, on VM, etc. Have not had a problem and it was pretty simple overall. I’m sure some folks do have issues, though. Shit happens. Is windows 11 shittier for install? I’ve never had the desire to try :)

I’ve also installed various Linux distros on the above and a few other computers (Mint, Nobara, Fedora). Aside from Mint not working with my AMD RX 6600, no problems there either, really. And these distros installed easily.

Again, ymmv. I knew Mint would probably fail because the 5.19 kernel does not seem to like my GPU. That’s why I switched to Nobara in the first place (iirc the 6.x kernel wasn’t available at the time)

“…as the first signs of Spring appear, many hibernating creatures begin to wake from their slumber. Here we see the common troll emerging groggily from his burrow. He displays his stupid opinions for all to see. And now he is joined by another in his pointless cause…”

Blah blah blah.

Or shill or whatever.

It’s been getting bad the last several days.

I can’t wait for us to get closer to November. /S
