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 This was mainly due to merging out-of-date configurations that I thought were up-to-date.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.
-
Forgot:
apr: 1.7.4 -> 1.7.6
-
It seems that since around Linux kernel 6.6, newer Intel wireless cards will crash at suspend/wake... that is, unless you turned off the radio of the card entirely before suspending the system. 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.
-
It was to the point that I isolated NetworkManager due to early assumptions that it was to blame. In the end, it is a years-old kernel bug.
Yes, my main laptop's wireless setup is entirely manual now, and I can easily revert this.
-
We now have symmetrical upload since October 20 (known), but it may have been October 15.
As a result, I have finally upped the bandwidth limit from 786KB/1MB (rest of main site) and 393KB/512KB (certain download sections) to ~5MB and ~2.5MB respectively.
From there, stuff will be monitored occasionally.
-
I honestly forgot about the rate limit settings! It was stuck on ~375KB average.
This has been fixed.
-
Finally have practically stable Live TV on Jellyfin 10.10.7! Quite recent Intel media drivers for Linux got it to that point.
Other thing was Intel Core i3: 12100 -> 13100... but two pins located at the bottom-center of its socket on the board in question were quite bent. I managed to fix them perfectly, though.
-
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?)

Clearing some VERY redundant data on the main NAS today. About 300GB so far. 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.
-
So, one of the drives dropped off the RAID5 array some time ago. Got the drive back online after a reboot after I noticed it.
However, the drive is perfectly fine. ๐คจ So after figuring how to add the drive again, it was added back in the array.
dmesg: md kicking non-fresh /dev/xyz from array
run - mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/xyz
Took a bit to resync, but the array is fine again.
-
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!
-
Updates!
mariadb: 10.11.5 -> 10.11.6
Still haven't updated apache httpd yet...!
-
...Finally ran chkdsk after noticing some terrible hanging on the Dell Latitude E6220's Windows 7 install on an old Samsung SSD. The system is trashed; surprising it even boots at all.
This was used to continue archiving the DVD video library. Those files are fine.
Probably going to need my original Windows 7 DVDs if sfc /scannow fails to fix this after the chkdsk ends.
-
Oh, forgot it locked up once trying to remove some old files to free up space. It was also after one other file brought up an I/O error. That is what prompted me to run chkdsk in the first place.
Will have to assess the drive and then possibly clone the install to another one to save it.
-
Finally, an update: a few days ago, the install had to be cloned to another SSD because the system would lock up after login. Surprisingly, the system after cloning was fine. This, however, broke the AnyDVD HD trial eight days in. (I was imaging the somewhat large DVD collection during this incident.) Requesting a new trial also worked...!
-
Went through the main web server, and the entire willem-eprom-stuff section was actually duplicated. This was from an attempt to salvage what a Windows 10 install did to that directory. This is now fixed, and the pre-dupe-fix backup will be stored with the rest of the ServerBackup files.
-
The webserver, compile box, and the CD ripping machine are now running on Ubuntu 23.10. That was the main reason I never compiled Apache httpd 2.4.58 yet for the server.
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...
-
Motherboard test. Also tested the RAM to see if it was good as well. http://cwcyrix.nsupdate.info/gnu-social/public/url/47
-
The temporary cooler obstructing the location of the power supply on this early 2000s case. The power supply is not in obvious view here, but it is at the 5.25" drive/accessories section (originally meant for optical drives).
I plan on using a low profile cooler after this. http://cwcyrix.nsupdate.info/gnu-social/public/url/50
-
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. ๐
