Random raspberry pi freeze


My Raspberry Pi, on which I host a Minecraft server, suddenly froze. I cannot not SSH in, nor can I join the Minecraft server. I ran the Minecraft server in Docker, via itzg/docker-minecraft-server. I turned off the Raspberry Pi, took out its microsd and plugged it into my PC, to at least attempt to run the Minecraft server from my PC to see if I still have the data. I tried to copy it with cp, but I got an input-output error. Could this be the filesystem's fault? And how can I fix this? If you need any additional info about this crash, please do not hesitate to ask.

I believe your SD it's fried, you should try using a variant of SBC with eMMC support. Like for example a Banana Pi M4 Berry or a Orange Pi 3B with eMMC module.

MicroSD cards aren't designed for a lot of writes. Your card it probably dead. If you must use a RPI with a SD card you should get an enterprise grade MicroSD

SSDs are crazy cheap, what are you talking about? I think the added reliability and speed is absolutely worth it
in reply to Gregor

Raspberry pis are expensive in general. That's what I meant my not cost effective
in reply to Possibly linux

100€ for such a performant device (for the price) seems like a good deal to me

You can get more from a old PC for around the same cost. If it works for you that's good. I want to point out there are other options

While I haven't personally tried it, I've heard people have issues with cooling when using the M.2 hat, especially when using their Pi for intensive applications (like hosting a Minecraft server). I'd honestly recommend just getting a 2.5" USB drive enclosure and an SSD. Costs about the same amount of money without the drawback of poor cooling. You can use it with any case, since it just connects via USB. I have been running my Pi this way for years (in fact I have never used an SD card in it).

I think "endurance" cards are where you get something reasonably non-self-destructive, for a modest premium.

That is very correct. SELinux is an alternative to AppArmor. But SELinux is much more secure but that comes with a cost. And that is the cost you just described. SELinux is much more advanced and gives you much more control.

Every time, I'm ready to jump the Ubuntu ship and go back to Debian or Mint, they announce something interesting; something I'd at least want to try.

I had the pleasure of reminiscing about OggCamps from “Days of Yore” with the excellent Les Pounder yesterday, in an episode of the Tom’s Harware Pi Cast. If you’ve never been to an OggCamp, hopefully this will provide a flavour of the event (Les did a deep dive back into the photo archive from previous events).

Kovarex Is Thinking About Open-Sourcing Factorio | Factorio Interview: Michal Kovařík [Czech; Eng Subs]


cross-posted from: biglemmowski.win/post/2418820

For me, the most interesting point was the short mention of open sourcing Factorio (around 2:40). Kovarex seems to be very much open to the idea, he mentions that (as an approximation) maybe two years after the DLC after things calm down ...


(Hope this is not much of a titlegore)

Vänsterns misstag har gynnat högersajterna. År 1994 startade tidningen Yelah som papperstidning och på nätet. Kring 1998 blir det i första hand en nättidning (yelah.net). 1997 startade motkraft.net som e-mejltjänst men snart också som en hemsida (1998) och en portal för delar av vänstern. 1999 startade Independent Media Center (IMC, Indymedia). 2001 startade diskussionforat socialism.nu.

What are your games to get into the season for its vibe?


I mean games you played / you are going to play.

My list looks like this for example:
- Summer: DAVE THE DIVER
- Autumn: Against the Storm
- Winter: Frostpunk 2
- Spring: Terra Nil

What are yours?

[Star Trucker] (store.steampowered.com/app/238…) - omg. Bought it about a week ago, it's devoured my spare time.

Never tried a trucker sim before, usually more into base building, but daym--throw some scifi in there and I'm hooked! All the levers and switches work and are satisfying to pull. Blast through the short tutorial, put on some music, decompress, and just driiiive(/float).



Solution to my Thinkpad E16 Wi-Fi Woes


Continued From:
startrek.website/post/13283869
startrek.website/post/14075369

I managed to fix the one biggest gripe about my Thinkpad E16: the RTL8852BE Wi-Fi controller randomly dropping out. I actually found this a few days ago, but I had forgotten where I put the file I had edited. You put a file in modprobe.d called 70-rtw89.conf. Both /etc/modprobe.d/ and /usr/lib/modprobe.d work - I used the latter, but for the sake of conventions, you should probably use the former.

You then put in these options for the rtw89 module: options rtw89_pci disable_clkreq=y disable_aspm_l1=y disable_aspm_l1ss=y

Now, my Thinkpad is a fully functional Linux laptop. I will be docking it to an 8 from my initial score of 8.5, but I'm back to liking it for now. If you apply the fix, be sure to update the firmware as well - some older distros have an old version that works but returns a lot of journalctl error on this card.

Update: What do you know! The updated firmware-realtek just went into backports!

Thanks, bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sou…

According to the repair manual, my Wi-Fi card is actually replaceable, at least physically. I don’t know if Lenovo still does BIOS whitelists of cards like they used to (I think they did remove it a few years back.), but their OEM parts website has a diverse selection if this fix were ever to break.

I’d say other than the bottom being a bother to remove (and the keyboard not being designed to be replaced, though after some research, it seems possible), this is a surprisingly repairable laptop for how recent it it. It has dual SSD bays and a DIMM slot.

in reply to data1701d (He/Him)

Oh that's good then. I think they stopped using whitelists a while ago, so if it is slotted you can probably replace it with anything. Maybe they reversed course on soldered modules then, or perhaps it only applied to some models. I looked into specs of the T16 at some point, and that one had soldered wifi module.

Map of 2000+ lemmy communities


cross-posted from: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/27579423

This is my first try at creating a map of lemmy. I based it on the overlap of commentors that visited certain communities.

I only used communities that were on the top 35 active instances for the past month and limited the comments to go back to a maximum of August 1 2024 (sometimes shorter if I got an invalid response.)

I scaled it so it was based on percentage of comments made by a commentor in that community.

Here is the code for the crawler and data that was used to make the map:

Long distances actually don't really mean much it can't be guaranteed that they actually correlate to much. It is mostly the local groups that are conserved and a bit of the global structure.

Not bad specs, aside from that CPU. It is terrible. My wii probably has more processing power than that.
