title: amisapphire: 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.

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.

title: amisapphire: 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.

title: amisapphire: 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.

title: amisapphire: 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. 🤨 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.

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.

title: amisapphire: 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

title: amisapphire: 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...

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.

title: amisapphire: The power supply arrived today, but it got misdelivered due to the address being one digit off. 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: 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.

title: amisapphire: The site will be down on or around September 12, 2023 due to Comcast finally upgrading the network in our area. I think mid-split is finally going to be here, though the actual configuration for our bought modem would be further away.

title: amisapphire: Additional notes: Some additional fans were added to the server, as the hard drives would end up being around 50°C otherwise. This was in addition to the CPU being around 60°C under load... though the fact that it had no thermal paste after ~5 years didn't help.

title: amisapphire: Post-upgrade notes: the system drive had exhibited massive read errors, coincidentally after the storage upgrade... and no, it was not the IDE cable. I had to mirror the drive to another one. That was around September 1, 2023. Though interestingly, I had to position the IDE cable at the right position, otherwise the data transfer speed would literally be in the kilobyte range. Old drive: Hitachi 180GXP IC35L060AVV207 - 61.4GB Current drive: Western Digital Caviar WD800BB-22JHC0 - 80GB That particular Western Digital was one of the many eBay purchases that sat mostly in storage until it was used in a Windows XP build, but even then, it wasn't used often. Found some unique data on that drive and sent that to the NAS before using it as a replacement system drive. It also had nearly 20K hours on it and no bad or pending sectors when initially examined.

title: amisapphire: Some notes: the last backup of the site before the recent upgrade was March 22, 2017, though the size of that archive has a discrepancy of full vs packed and will test it. The January 15, 2017 archive is more trustworthy and that size is ~95GB unpacked. The March 22, 2017 archive should be ~110GB unpacked. The current September 6, 2023 archive is ~575GB unpacked due to the additional FTP archive data that was added since May 2018, though the FIC FTP archive may have been present in the 2017 archives, but that will be checked after retrieving the 1TB hard drive.

title: amisapphire: I have finally created a backup of the site data, htdocs. The 4TB scratch disk should be formatted once again, as the entire www-data directory set is no longer needed. I have already removed it from the NAS as it was supposed to be temporary. The recent database and htdocs mirror are being sent to the NAS, and all very old server data will be burned on two Blu-ray 25GB discs. That same data will remain on the older 1TB drive, but removed from the NAS. I have yet to mirror the site configuration; that was planned about two months prior to the upgrade.
