I had one such case recently, turned out it was due to a faulty SATA (data) cable. Once you find which drive is clicking, try plugging it with a new cable before declaring it dead.

dmesg output may contain some useful error messages. If you find errors related to I/O, block devices, SCSI or SATA, you should include them in your post

Someone registering the domain would be able to receive any email sent to any address under this domain, including password resets.

There is no such software (that works kind of reliably). I’d love to be proven wrong, but I’ve looked into it enough that I’m quite confident it does not exist

I live in Lyon, and I’m soooo happy to hear about this ! 🤩

I see both mastodon and lemmy

Just trying to debug some weirdness with outgoing activities from my server, looks like it’s back to normal since you saw my comment and replied to it ;)

There are a few things I don’t like about this scoring system :

• Why is there a “Top Provider Content Share” metric if its gonna score the same as the “Top Provider User Share” every time ?
• Why is the Top Provider Content Share not higher than the user share ? For instance, emails usually have at least one sender and one recipient, making it twice as likely that at least one of them is using gmail. If an email has 10 recipients across 10 different providers, each provider has a copy of the data
• Why is ease of hosting a mail server rated so well ? How is “leveraging email hosting services” decentralized in any way ?
• Why are we using a random repo created a few hours ago by a random github user as a reference ?

Alternatively, if your databases are on a filesystem that supports snapshots (LVM, btrfs or ZFS for instance), you can make a snapshot of the filesystem, mount the snapshot and backup thame database from it. This will ensure the backup is consistent with itself (the backed up directory was not written to between the beginning and the end of the backup)

Because you either need an announce URL or publishing your torrent to the DHT for your friends to be able to peer with you.

Seeding copyrighted material using a public announce URL or the DHT will get you in trouble in most western countries.

Enabling multi DC redundancy is really easy though. The other providers you mentioned may have it by default, but they’re also a lot more expensive.

I love that they let me pick my own redundancy strategy, without forcing me to pay for theirs

I’m sorry I can’t help. I just wanted to drop a comment because splinter cell 1 was so great to play when it came out and now I want to play it again

ENS stands for Ethereum Name Service

I’ve already joined it, people over there are indeed extremely helpful

I’ve been tinkering with pmOS for a few days, trying to fix some issues with my old oneplus3t

I’m still far from being able to daily drive it (trying to launch an X server crashes the whole thing, some physical buttons are not detected, and I rely on a dirty hack to even get the onscreen tty to refresh) but it has been a really interesting learning journey.

From a quick search on my instance, I could find 3 posts that are still up, and I could also find specific comments I remembered from a post that got removed since.

That’s at least 4 occurrences on Lemmy alone

I did not criticize people sharing it here, but rather Ente themselves for making vague fear-mongering claims for viral marketing purposes

What’s up with this website popping in my feed for the 6th time in less than a week ?

Edit : nevermind, after digging the website for a grand total of 5 seconds, it appears to be an advertising website for Ente (which has a paid plan besides being self hostable). That’s shitty marketing from them if you ask me

You’ve probably read about language model AIs basically being uncontrollable black boxes even to the very people who invented them.

When OpenAI wants to restrict ChatGPT from saying some stuff, they can fine tune the model to reduce the likelihood that it will output forbidden words or sentences, but this does not offer any guarantee that the model will actually stop saying forbidden things.

The only way of actually preventing such an agent from saying something is to check the output after it is generated, and not send it to the user if it triggers a content filter.

My point is that AI researchers found a way to simulate some kind of artificial brains, from which some “intelligence” emerges in a way that these same researchers are far from deeply understanding.

If we live in a simulation, my guess is that life was not manually designed by the simulation’s creators, but rather that it emerged from the simulation’s rules (what we Sims call physics), just like people studying the origins of life mostly hypothesize. If this is the case, the creators are probably as clueless about the inner details of our consciousness as we are about the inner details of LLMs

I’ve read somewhere Mullvad no longer offers port forwarding. Do you still manage to seed without it ?

I’m personally using Docker MailServer. It’s been working great for over a year now, but mailu seems to have some interesting features (I’m especially interested in the admin panel)
