If this is a hard requirement for federation, then I guess federated services are not for me, as I value my privacy more than I care to use them.

How do you know who you’re defederating with? When I set up my instance, the list of federated instances was thousands. How do you know which one is scraping the data?

Admin access means nothing if you can set up your own instance in an afternoon, federate with everything, then get all the votes copied to your database. I have done this just to prove it could be done, btw.

My family had a trailer growing up and ours was stolen from in front of our house. It was never found.

My mom got run into by a trailer that was rolling down a hill. Luckily my mom decided she was a superhero that day and was able to push the trailer to the curb to stop it from rolling down any further (it was a pretty steep hill). She got away with only a broken ankle.

So I say yeah. Tell them.

Maga Man X on the SNES. I still vividly remember the first time I ever beat a boss in it, too. I remember running out of my room to look down the loft to the living room area and screamed to my mom that I finally beat Chill Penguin. She wasn’t impressed. I immediately went back to my room and beat another boss. Then another. After probably a couple of years of just dying over and over, something clicked that day, and I was able to beat all the bosses. And I have been hooked on gaming ever since.

sudo systemctl restart vaultwarden.service

Done. :)

Thanks for the heads up.

A dakimakura, AKA a body pillow. Needs an anime character on it, obviously.

So if I don’t have a camera on my laptop, I’m good?

It did 4 passes by default. It took almost 3 hours to run on 16 GB of RAM.

It’s possible there is an issue with the WiFi. I had lots of WiFi issues on this laptop when I used Windows (micro freezing when using typing into an SSH shell, and pings would drop at the same time), but since switching to Linux, those went away. I’ll definitely keep that in mind. I’ll try using wired network if the issues come back after swapping SSDs.

Well, I reinstalled this morning and I’m keeping the nouveau driver this time instead of going with the proprietary. I don’t play play games on this laptop anymore since I set up sunshine/moonlight, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Well, I just reinstalled on a new SSD this morning. Fingers crossed it all works out! It usually takes a few weeks for the issues to start happening each time, so I guess I’ll just wait in agony until then. 🥲

I will try this once I get my system back up and running tomorrow! I’m going to install the distro on a new SSD and see what happens.

Yeah, I just ordered a new SSD. I’ll give that a try when it arrives tomorrow. Smart says it passed, but suspect my SSD enough that I think it’s worth it to just try another SSD.

I have 16GB of RAM and 16GB of swap as a swap partition. Though I have also tried a 16GB swapfile and saw no difference. I don’t know about zram.

It’s a 2021 Asus Zephyrus G15 with an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU. I got an aftermarket SSD off of Amazon so I could dual boot with Windows, but I haven’t booted back into Windows a single time since installing Linux. Though that might be a good test.

I can try set -x once I reinstall my distro and get it back up and running tomorrow, as it is currently borked. Since zypper does all the downloads then all of the installs, I was able to see that it always happened during the install phase, not the download phase.

I am definitely interested in the possibility of it being related to the proprietary Nvidia driver. When it happened yesterday, the proprietary Nvidia driver was being updated (not sure at that exact time. But it was in the list of packages to be updated). I’ll keep an eye on that for sure.

1. Already done. :)
2. It started with GUI, but I switched to command line, and even did it in a separate TTY to make sure it wasn’t something weird going on with updating plasma from plasma. After switching to Arch-based distros, I have only use CLI.
3. Currently I’m on EndeavourOS, but after the most recent time this happened, it won’t boot, and I can’t even mount and chroot to it (I get an I/O error message)
4. No, I’m at about 1% capacity.
5. I ran this from a live USB, and it came back with no errors detected, but returned instantaneously, so I’m not sure if it ran the right thing. Doing more research on it now. Edit: I did it wrong. The test is running now. Edit 2: Smart says it passed. :/

Thank you for the suggestion. I am unfamiliar with this, but I am reading about it now.
