I got hammered with ms auth requests for weeks before I finally just changed it to a dedicated email address. Really frustrating.

Briefly for GPUs, yes. I picked up a 5080 at the end of last year for msrp.

Not really worth it unless you’re downloading attachments from spam emails or sketchy websites. It’s pretty dated tech - old school AV definitions, but there’s nothing better that’s free afaik

As a media client, totally. Lots of people run jellyfin on Android TV sticks and things like that.

It still is! If you try and boot a kernel with nothing in /dev, you won’t get most of the kernel boot messages since /dev/console doesn’t exist. You need a basic set of device nodes in /dev before udev is started.

If you’re going to rsync a system to new hardware and exclude /dev /proc /sys, it’s better to setup a new mount of your / to a different directory and sync off that, so you get the underlying stuff without the cruft.

/dev and /sys are the other two special ones

No, you can’t have a hard link cross filesystems and proc is its own fs type.

If you delete a file that’s still open by the app, the link in proc will still exist and you can copy the file back out of proc.

Sounds like you might be running out of ram and using up swap, which just grinds things to a halt.

Open a system monitoring tool at the same time and keep an eye on your ram and swap usage. If swap is filling up, that’s usually a bad sign. (if swap usage is small and not changing, that’s not necessarily bad)

For bios look at https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd and it might do it for you.

On top of the other suggestions here, upgrade your bios. We really need to know exactly what you mean by freezing though.

I’ve found success in telling Claude to keep it brief and to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Technical_English

Most modern remakes I’m pretty meh on, but I do think they nailed it with X-Com. I can’t really think of another game from my childhood that got treated properly.

I made that mistake with Spotify, got a family plan years ago and hooked my sister + nephew + niece up. Now if I want to cancel it and they lose their playlists, they’ll be all pissy.

Not that I’ve ever seen, that would kinda be a waste of resources of the lemmy servers.

Federation is only one “level”. The origin sends it to all the other instances, they don’t relay it along.

Just pop that url into the search of another lemmy instance. If it has a copy, it’ll come up.

Ie: https://lemmy.ca/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Flemmings.world%2Fpost%2F41938713&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=false

I’d also suggest throwing more cores at it than you think it needs, and increasing the nic buffer sizes. This is what finally solved the random 1-2 minute outages I was seeing on lemmy.ca, turns out we were somehow saturating the queues even at relatively low traffic levels. (these issues might be specific to our model nic)

Finally, make sure hardware offloading is disabled, and your CPU type is set to host.

Revert back to the previous kernel / initramfs to get yourself booting. There’s no devices listed, so you probably need to add the disk driver and make a new initramfs.

I think the real obvious question is, why aren’t you monitoring your disk space?
