items: amisapphire: For fun, here is a comparison (the 125W TDP is actually wrong on the Phenom II; it's 95W): https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/1189vs7/Intel-Xeon-E3-1230-V2-vs-AMD-Phenom-II-X4-945
items: amisapphire: Okay, MariaDB has updated config from 'medium' to 'large' settings (cribbed from MySQL 5.5 sample configs). I archived those configs for reference.
items: amisapphire: Updates! openssl: 1.1.1w -> 1.1.1zg mariadb: 11.4.7 -> 11.4.10 Recompile: httpd 2.4.66 - due to external pcre2 and openssl updates php 7.4.33 - due to external pcre2 and openssl updates
items: amisapphire: Forgot: apr: 1.7.4 -> 1.7.6
items: amisapphire: I honestly forgot about the rate limit settings! It was stuck on ~375KB average. This has been fixed.
items: amisapphire: Updates! mariadb: 11.4.5 -> 11.4.7 Cannot run 11.8.x on this server now due to SIGSEGV. A future version may run it. (26.04?)
items: amisapphire: Updates! mariadb: 11.4.4 -> 11.4.5
items: amisapphire: Going to have to recompile PHP again as to have it no longer be thread safe. Also, pcre2 should be updated.

items: amisapphire: Updates! mariadb: 10.11.6 -> 10.11.7
items: amisapphire: Updates! httpd: 2.4.57 -> 2.4.58 pcre2: master_20230920 -> master_20231202 Recompiled: php 7.4.33 Somehow had issues with directory symlinking; httpd-2.4.57 really wanted to stick around!
items: amisapphire: Updates! mariadb: 10.11.5 -> 10.11.6 Still haven't updated apache httpd yet...!
items: amisapphire: Didn't update this: eventually got a cooler for the CPU, and the power supply is in the right location. There is also media on the media server. 😉
items: amisapphire: Motherboard test. Also tested the RAM to see if it was good as well. http://cwcyrix.nsupdate.info/gnu-social/public/url/47
items: amisapphire: Forgot about the Compile Box: the other Linux machine at hand... the 40GB drive can be accessed on that machine.

title: amisapphire: I was just made aware that the Rev. C2 version of the AMD Phenom II X4 945 can be 125W TDP (most are 95W TDP), so that part is correct. So it does not account for the 95W Rev. C2 or C3 version of the CPU...

title: amisapphire: Finally found the reason the MariaDB 11.8 releases do not run on this quite old AMD server: the AM2/AM2+ architecture is too old. (It's missing the PCLMULQDQ instruction flag.) I went through the trouble of setting up a test server on a MiniPC (Intel NUC NUC6AYH), and it does run there. Though, I forgot to run lscpu for the instruction flags... so I searched for it online, and that NUC's CPU does indeed have the flag. I then actually compiled the source on an even older Dell Latitude D830 and executed it. Same illegal instruction (SIGILL) as on the aging server. It does not have the flag. It does run on my main laptop that has a high-end Sandy Bridge CPU, which has the flag. -- From the AMD server and main laptop logs: MariaDB 11.4: InnoDB: Using generic crc32 instructions MariaDB 11.8: InnoDB: Using crc32 + pclmulqdq instructions

title: amisapphire: Was going through the server and deleting very old versions of compiled daemons and libraries; freed up ~5GB of space on the boot drive so far. However, I found an old .tar image of the server 'www' data from September 6, 2023, taking up ~548 GiB on the www-data RAID setup. (The final one is .xz'ed, taking up ~449 GiB on the NAS.) Thought I purged it years ago, lol. There's also some old HP laptop disk image on there from 2014 that I have never removed, taking up ~109 GiB; since copied to the NAS years later. Another ~800 GiB used up there is a bunch of Teknoparrot ROMs just sitting there as well. Very old versions of MySQL sit there; no longer can use them since the move to MariaDB. There's more decade [plus]-old cruft on that setup that existed ever since the server used a 4x 250GB RAID0+1 setup in the early 2010s. Removing a lot of it would free up probably ~2TiB of space.

title: amisapphire: Updates! httpd: 2.4.62 -> 2.4.66 Consistency Fixes... php 7.4.33: fpm now consistently runs on Unix sockets instead of TCP/IP:Port, meaning connections within PHP are even faster. This was mainly due to merging out-of-date configurations that I thought were up-to-date. [Was originally CGI for the longest -> FastCGI for testing -> FPM TCP/IP:Port -> FPM Unix Sockets] Other notes: MySQL/MariaDB did run on TCP/IP:Port due to Unix Sockets breaking at random historically, but that had been stabilized for at least a year.

My main laptop is still using Linux 6.2 (from 2023) due to this. I previously had 6.5, but some browser couldn't open with this kernel... No, this is still not fixed.

Ironically, it started with trying to find a historical crack of Sonic Heroes (entire game included) on the server, lol. I never run it, but the .nfo mentioning its backstory is chuckleworthy; it's why I kept it.

Probably going to need my original Windows 7 DVDs if sfc /scannow fails to fix this after the chkdsk ends.

Also, the CPU came in for the media server yesterday, and I built it that same day. However, since I'm using a quite old case (looks to be from around 2000), the temporary large cooler blocks the way of where the power supply should be. Right now, the power supply is where the optical drives would normally be. Now, the media server is running, but there is no media on it yet...

title: amisapphire: And the update: Sis's laptop seems to be fine now. Some settings seem to be working properly now (though that was done after DISM and SFC twice). Originally, the unit BSODed, then it was brought to me. Unit also had a delay powering on, then it started checking the disk for errors. Then it booted to the Windows desktop. Then part of the AMD GPU drivers were corrupt. This prompted me to scan the disk twice: /f, then /r. Noticed the Date/Time Settings would crash, but pretty much everything else was fine. Sadly, DISM was pretty much useless, but sfc /scannow was not so. This was run twice. Eventually, the Date/Time Settings worked. Also noticed after DISM, the build number discrepancy showed.

title: amisapphire: Dad's aging Core 2 Quad machine apparently does not like ancient nVidia graphics cards. Now uses an AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition just to render the desktop and other certain effects better than the onboard graphics does. Surprisingly, Windows 10 runs pretty well on that machine. Even if Windows 11 didn't restrict hardware requirements, I most definitely wouldn't install it on that system. I already almost didn't install Windows 10 on it; the machine had a Core 2 Quad Q6600. Since the changes - upgrade to fixed Q9550 and 128GB SSD -> 250GB HDD -> 256GB SSD, I finally upgraded it to Windows 10. But... This required a long EOL version of Windows 10. Basically: Windows 7 -> Windows 10 1607, Windows 10 22H2. I backed up the Windows 7 install before doing this so I had an ass-covering. It worked, though.

However, I got the package. 😏 The mainboard and RAM were delivered a few days prior, so the only thing needed is a CPU. Power supply test: * basic power on with no load. Short green power-on wire to ground, and that is it. All voltages are on point. * basic power good test. Connect power supply to motherboard and power it on through the board. Success. No actual load test has been done, e.g. power good test but with a complete system instead of just a motherboard.

title: amisapphire: Sis's HP laptop has file integrity issues, but system is fine so far. Still monitoring the situation; the drive exhibited no actual issues. Apparently AMDGPU drivers are somewhat problematic. - Main server, compile box, and CD-ripping machine are still on Ubuntu 23.04 (Server, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu respectively), main laptop and test media server are on Kubuntu 23.10. - Speaking of test media server, it is on Mom's 2018 HP laptop, runs Jellyfin, and has a few test videos scrounged up from the main NAS and my old Windows 10 install. I'm still working out the quirks on the setup before the final install, which will not run on Ubuntu or any such spin; it will be running Debian 12, which is actually unusual to me, since I specifically prefer Ubuntu/spins.

title: amisapphire: Real life... Lot of maintenance to network and Internet equipment, then a certain HP laptop. I also started using Linux on my main laptop, and it's much more responsive than when it was on Windows 10. I still keep the install, because ~7 years' worth of cruft is on that install, which has gone through three laptops so far! - Routers have been upgraded from OpenWrt: 22.03.5 -> 23.05.0 and wireless signals have improved slightly, so has stability; no random disconnects on certain clients so far. Also, switched CPU governor from: schedutil -> ondemand and made a few tweaks to the ondemand settings... more responsive now. And... the minimum CPU frequency has been changed from 437500 to 600000 due to possible stability issues with the 2.4GHz radio and startup issues. Haven't had those myself, but it is preemptive.

title: amisapphire: Blew up the server by adding the orphan_file feature to the system drive. 🙃 The filesystem was created before the feature even existed; better opportunity was to add it after moving off the old system drive.

title: amisapphire: As of September 30, 2023, the Raspberry Pi 2 Test Server is now retired. This originally ran back in 2016 and had a few things that weren't on the main server. PHP was actually installed on the server but somehow broke a few months later; couldn't fix it. I now have the 40GB hard drive that contains the entire site contents. Will go through the drive on the CD ripping box as that runs a Linux distro. Other notes: * This is the second Raspberry Pi 2 in the entire set. - The first one unfortunately had a 9V spike due to a power outage, which killed it. * The RTC unit's battery installed on the Pi 2 is almost dead. * This particular Pi 2 has a header soldered for easy reset/power on.
