Did you replace your SATA cable when you installed the new SSD? Maybe the failure is there.
It's similar only in that it's about a "Great man" remaking a society in collapse.
Really none of the themes are there. Nor is there any journey of discovery to understand who Caesar is, like you get in Atlas Shrugged where other characters learn who John Galt is.
Galt is "Self interest and belief in my vision will make society better". Caesar is "McGuffin building materials and belief in my vision will make society better". For all its flaws, one is at least a political statement, while the other is milquetoast hopium.
This movie is so hard to talk about, because the question is: "What is it even about?"
I like movies with abstract themes and strange storytelling, but this was just incomprehensible. Its plot revolves around the machinations of rich men to control the future of their city "New Rome", but the plot is kinda meaningless. There's never any real threat to Caesar's goal. Just plot events that could be obstacles but then are immediately resolved/neutered. Ok, fine! Surely then it's an art-house piece with a deep message? The plot points must be there for the sake of a larger theme. I was waiting for everything to add up in the finale, but it just ends up with Caesar delivering a speech filled with platitudes so bland that I thought it was a joke. Then the credits rolled and the 2 of the other 5 people in the theater with me started laughing.
Yep, the problem was that docker started before the NFS mount. Adding the dependency to my systemd docker unit did the trick!

isn’t it an annoyance having to connect to your home network all the time?
It's less annoying than the gnawing fear that my network might be an easy target for attackers.
I generally let my server do its thing, but I run into an issue consistently when I install system updates and then reboot: Some docker containers come online, while others need to be started manually. All containers were running before the system shut down.
- My containers are managed with docker compose.
- Their compose files have
restart: always
- It's not always the same containers that fail to come online
- Some of them depend on an NFS mount point being ready on the host, but not all
Host is running Ubuntu Noble
Most of these containers were migrated from my previous server, and this issue never manifested.
I wonder if anyone has ideas for what to look for?
SOLVED
The issue was that docker was starting before my NFS mount point was ready, and the containers which depended on it were crashing.
Symptoms:
journalctl -b0 -u docker
showed the following log lines (-b0 means to limit logs to the most recent boot):
level=error msg="failed to start container" container=fe98f37d1bc3debb204a52eddd0c9448e8f0562aea533c5dc80d7abbbb969ea3 error="error while creating mount source path '/mnt/nas/REDACTED': mkdir /mnt/nas/REDACTED: operation not permitted" ... level=warning msg="ShouldRestart failed, container will not be restarted" container=fe98f37d1bc3debb204a52eddd0c9448e8f0562aea533c5dc80d7abbbb969ea3 daemonShuttingDown=true error="restart canceled" execDuration=5m8.349967675s exitStatus="{0 2024-10-29 00:07:32.878574627 +0000 UTC}" hasBeenManuallyStopped=false restartCount=0
I had previously set my mount directory to be un-writable if the NFS were not ready, so this lined up with my expectations.
I couldn't remember how systemd names mount points, but the following command helped me find it:
systemctl list-units -t mount | grep /mnt/nas
It gave me mnt-nas.mount
as the name of the mount unit, so then I just added it to the After=
and Requires=
lines in my /etc/systemd/system/docker.service file:
[Unit] Description=Docker Application Container Engine Documentation=https://docs.docker.com After=network-online.target docker.socket firewalld.service containerd.service time-set.target mnt-nas.mount Wants=network-online.target containerd.service Requires=docker.socket mnt-nas.mount ...
This is exactly the same "problem" as when open-source projects started enforcing codes of conduct: Any organization is an inherently political entity and is entitled to make political decisions about who can or can't be a member of that organization.
I've seen lots of $word-$number named-accounts claiming that this "puts in jeopardy the future of open source". Fuck off. There's no evidence that these people are banned from submitting patches to the kernel, just that they've been removed from a particular role of authority within an organization.
And to the people saying "But why U trust NSA to submit patches?!"... motherfucker if you're only worrying about that now, you're many years too late. I've been told by an angel in a dream that TempleOS is still free from CIA interference.
So many bad-faith arguments being made about this.
Independent of any arguments about who asked for this to happen and why: A free software project always has the right to choose which contributors it trusts and which it doesn't. I've seen no evidence that these people are banned from submitting patches due to their nationality. They've been remove from a particular role in the project due to political reasons. An organization is an inherently political entity.
Remember when codes of conduct destroyed all of free software and nothing ever got built again? Me neither. It's the same thing.
The Ramses mission would rendezvous with the infamous asteroid Apophis during its 2029 close approach to Earth.
Can't we just toss some C4 at it?
Maybe just say "Hey, X isn't running this game. I am". If you're open to their participation, you could add "But if you'd like to join us, would you mind introducing yourself?". If you don't want them to join, you could say "Sorry, but I already have enough players for this campaign"
Maybe not for the plot (since it's never referenced or brought up ever again in the film) but I think it does work thematically:
This would be the one real miraculous event in Brian's life. If anything, you would expect that a man who fell from a tower, got picked up by a flaming ball, and returned safely to the ground would be hailed as a holy person by all witnesses.
Instead, nobody gives a fuck and in the next couple of scenes Brian becomes a holy figure through entirely unrelated and mundane means.
Especially gardening tools.
Why does every fucking house in our neighborhood need its own lawnmower, weedwacker, and hedge trimmer? You only need it for an hour or two every month.
Maybe they're not mammal nipples, but happen to look like it.
My indie theater has a bright blue pixel in their main screening room.
I complained about it when I first noticed, which was more than a year ago. It was still there the last time I went.
Anyone know of any realtime menu mods for OpenMW? Specifically, I'd like to have dialog take place in real time. It always feels strange that I can have a whole conversation with someone, but never recuperate my fatigue level.
I recently got a nice deal on a stereo microscope, and leapt at the chance. I've had a few projects in mind that would entail SMD soldering, and now all I need is a proper soldering station.
My current iron is pretty basic, but gets the job done for splicing wires and DIP work. Now I want something with temp control and a good supply of tips.
It seems like hobbyists are all talking about affordable Chinese T12 stations from brands like KSGER and Quecoo. There are just so many different models, it's hard to understand the features and differences. It also seems like there's a lot of "Reddit folk knowledge" where people just keep repeating what others have said. Eg: People say that some KSGER stations have no case grounding, but nobody says which models do or don't have the issue. All of them? Then people talk about the microcontrollers STM vs STC, but nobody says why it matters.

Proliant G9 is an EoL server that hasn't been sold since 2018. Meanwhile, Debian bookworm released last year. I'd be surprised if the problem were that your installer gave you a kernel that's too old.

It might also be worth ruling out low-level issues:
- Check for anything strange in the BIOS related to disks (fwupdmgr can automatically install BIOS updates from a live Linux session. I don't know if Bazzite does this)
- Try using a different SATA port
- Run some SMART tests on your drives
Have you used BRTFS with your rEFInd install before? I recall needing a few manual configurations before it detected my Arch install.
I'd recommend mounting your EFI partition from a live ISO and trying some of the configuration steps at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd#Btrfs_subvolume_support

How to make a suckless.org contributor cry
In our house, we generally go for variety in our coffee beans. That means when we are finishing one bag, we're going to open a different bag with totally different beans inside.
What do you do if there aren't enough old beans to make a full serving of coffee?
It may be heresey, but I mix the final old beans with a few beans from the new bag and call it my "bonus blend".

What cool stuff is going on with IP over ham radio? I want to build simple services accessible to other hams in my area, and would love to learn about what's out there.

Broadband HamNet: I'm not sure if there's any existing network in my area. Since it's 802.11 with yagis and amplifiers, I feel like you'd need a good density of local users for anything cool to develop.

Are there other technologies or projects worth looking into? Even though I'm not personally interested in buying new equipment for it, I'd still like to hear what's out there.
I work in a basement office. There is a below-grade egress window, with a 3-4ft ladder and a large plexiglass dome that you can push out of the way.
I noticed a terrible smell when I opened my window the other day, and it was because of a dead mouse that presumably couldn't get out of the recess. On inspection, I found the remains of several more dead rodents there, so this has been a problem in the past too.
Any ideas on how to prevent this? I both feel bad for the dead animals and am disgusted by the smell when they decay. The plexiglass dome has chicken wire for airflow, so I can't necessarily block those off. Maybe there's some method to repell them, or help them escape?
Moves playlist logic from C++ to Lua. Basically, it uses an approach from Skyrim - when you can have several active playlists in the same time...
The latest dev builds of OpenMW now support music playlists run from Lua. Mods could now create custom music playlists based on location, weather, combat status, or anything else that can be measured with Lua. The pull request includes a sample mod to play certain music when fighting muscrabs.
I look forward to all the new ambience mods that this will make possible!
Sounds a bit trite, but Morrowind represents a kind of comfy stability for me. I can always go to Vvardenfel any time, and it's always the same place.
Yesterday, I moved houses. The neighborhood is different, there are boxes everywhere, I can't find anything, and there's no internet. On top of that, I get very stressed out whenever even a small thing in my life changes. I try to focus on one task at a time, and that's all I can do.
However, all I need for Morrowind is to unpack my PC, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Tonight, when the takeout food is gone, but I'm not ready to sleep (in a new room that smells weird), there will be Morrowind.
Figured I'd share some of my favorite OpenMW mods. Today is AttendMe, a cool UI for monitoring your companions. It tracks health, stamina, magicka, as well as whatever spells/weapons they have equipped. I find it very useful for all the slave rescue quests, so I know who to heal.
Robo Wind Construct (RWC) is a standalone game demo for OpenMW that doesn't use any proprietary assets. It truly shows what can be possible with the OpenMW engine aside from reimplementing Gamebryo games.
https://modding-openmw.com/mods/rwc-robowind/
Following the RWC project in OpenMW discord has been interesting. There's symbiosis between development, where RWC might need a feature that ends up ported to OpenMW and becomes available to everyone! I hope they're able to eventually complete the game.

I'm really intrigued by digital modes. Stuff like JS8Call seems really cool, and I want to get into it.
I don't have any HF equipment. SSB isn't very interesting to me, so I was thinking of getting a digital-only transceiver and saving some money. I think it would be cool to take a small QRP box with a laptop or raspi, and do digital mode Pota with it.
I've seen the QDX which looks exactly like what I want and seems to get good reviews. Any others that I should be aware of?
I like coffee. I like Star Trek.
I've had a mild interest in the raktajino, a Klingon coffee drink commonly consumed in DS9. I've looked up a few fan theories and fan recipes. I haven't seen any references to a canonical recipe, so I get that there's a bit of fun and personal preference involved.
The only thing I don't understand is why raktajino is commonly claimed to be made with liquor. On the one hand, I understand why Klingons might want a stiff additive to their caffeine. However, the context in which characters on DS9 drink it does not suggest the presence of intoxicants. I recall at least a few occasions in which bridge officers, while on duty, drink a raktajino. Surely even synthol is not OK when you're on shift for Starfleet.
I'm just getting into ham (my technician exam is tomorrow night), and I'm looking for ideas on starter kit.
For now, my interest is in making contact with a friend who lives ~10 miles away, as well as other amateurs in the county (there's a repeater ~2 miles away). This friend needs to reapply for his license, but he has a mobile 2m/70cm transceiver from his old call sign. Eventually, we'd like to get into digital communication between our houses.
Even further down the line, I think long distance HF sounds cool, but that looks like a money pit I'm not quite ready to dig just yet.
I don't want to set up any crazy antennas just yet, as partner and I are house hunting. This also means we could end up more like 15 miles from my friend, depending on what we find.
I was wondering if anyone here could suggest beginner's equipment for my goals. I'm ok to spend a bit more on systems that are still useful if my interest in ham expands beyond these initial requirements.
