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

Sigh, I was already considering it. I’m guessing it wasn’t as good as the sg1 puppet episode either.

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.

Can we please just have some normal trek for at least half the season?

Laurie says she was still waiting for guidance when ICE agents returned to the airport looking for another passenger. This time, she made a different choice. She called the supervisor at the gate, asked for the passenger’s phone number and called the woman herself.

“I know this is going to sound extremely radical, or crazy,” she recounted telling the woman, “but ICE is there at the gate, and they’re looking for you."

There was a pause. “Are you serious?” the woman asked.

“Yes,” Laurie said. “I know this is crazy, but I promise you. I’m being serious.”

“Should I leave?” the woman asked. “I think it might be best if you do,” Laurie said.

That’s awesome. Good for her.

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

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.

Finished Children of Time last week, now I’m on Children of Ruin.

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.

That was a crazy episode, super strong start to the season

#2 with opnsense

piefed.ca is set to just follow lemmy.ca, not sure how often it refreshes…

Thanks, just defederated us

The second aircraft that landed safely was also a KC-135, the official said.

Weird.
