No, they are not in RAID either.

I did reset it. It did not help. I ran memtest86 for over 2 hours and did a CPU stress test for over 15 hours. Nothing crashed during the testing.

I cleaned everything and reapplied the thermal paste. That did not solve the problem. Also, the CPU is only of 35 watts and never goes over 55°C.

Proton mail = too many emails? in c/[email protected]

You can use universal android debloater to remove not only bloat but core google services as well, including google play services amd play store. Then solely rely on f-droid, obtainium etc.

You will have to use the advanced settings of UAD, amd you might have to do some tries, because removing anything important will make you reset your device.

I just ran it. It took over 2 hours to finish. Showed no errors. Is there a benefit of running it for a few days?

I bought an Optiplex 5040, with an i5-6500TE, and 8 GB DDR3L RAM.

When I bought it, I installed Fedora Server on it. It got stuck every few days but I could never see the error. The services just stopped working, I couldn't ssh into it, and connecting it to a monitor showed a black screen.

So, I thought let's install Ubuntu Server, maybe Fedora isn't compatible with all of its hardware. The same thing is happening, now, but I can see this error. Even when there's nothing installed on it, no containers, nothing other than base packages, this happens.

I have updated the bios. I have tried setting nouveau.modeset=0 in the grub config file. I have tried disabling and enabling c-states. No luck till now.

Would really appreciate if anyone helps me with this.

UPDATE:

  • I cleaned everything and reapplied the thermal paste. I did not see any change in the thermals. It never goes over 55°C even under full load.
  • I reset the motherboard by removing that jumper thing.
  • I ran memtest86, which took over 2½ hours. It did not show any errors.
  • I ran a CPU stress test for over 15 hours, and nothing crashed.
  • I also ran the Dell's diagnostic tool, available in the boot menu of the motherboard. The whole test took over 2 hours but did not show any errors. It tested the memory, CPU, fans, storage drives, etc.

Any news about when Mirage is releasing on Steam and/or Xbox Game Pass? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I really want to play Mirage, but it is too expensive. If it comes on Steam, I'll wait for the sale, because the prices are cheaper in my country. But if it comes on Game Pass, I'll get a month's subscription. Game pass is way cheaper than Ubisoft Plus.

Now that the next game is announced, I really hope Mirage gets cheaper.

I want to buy PineTime, but "Package cannot be shipped to your country due to logistical reasons." (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I live in India, how can get one? Any secure way of using a proxy address, which is also trusted.

I really, really want a smart watch, but I do not want to buy a typical one, due to privacy reasons. I use Lineage OS. Do I have any other options? Like using a smart watch without connecting it to my phone or internet at all? Using Asteroid OS and Bangle.js isn't an option for me, I have tried a lot to find a compatible watch with no luck at all.

Is an ARM mini PC with only 2GB RAM and 16GB storage worth buying? (www.amazon.in)
 

My current setup is an old MacBook woth 2 external HDDs, and I am almost happy with it, for now. I just saw this mini PC on Amazon and I am considering buying it, just to try out a new thing. I think it is cheap (~22 USD).

What I am worried about is that this much memory and storage might make it almost unusable. I was thinking of hosting some minor services, like remark42, shynet or vaultwarden. What else do you think I can host? If my mind changes, I will also try it with a desktop environment and try to connect it to my 4K Android TV.

I made this ToDo app, in Flutter, for Android and Linux (git.aiquiral.me)
 

This repo is also mirrored to Codeberg.

I made an easy to use ToDo app, just to learn a bit about programming and Flutter. It does not really provide any benefits over other ToDo apps, but I am glad that I was able to make this.

You can download the APK for Android, rpm for RHEL/Fedora or just use the AppImage.

I am willing to work more on this, you can read the roadmap in the link provided.

Any guidance, criticisms, or comments will be greatly appreciated.

Your opinion on motorcycles? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I am new to FuckCars, and personally, I feel very much aligned to this ideology. Particularly, the amout of environmental damage the fuel consumption causes, concerns me.

However, sometimes, I feel like I am a hypocrite, because I drive a motorcycle, which again, causes pollution. But, in my defense, I always try to use my bicycle if I can, and use my motorbike only when necessary, because public transportation system isn't great in my city. Also, the amount of pollutants my bike releases is way less when compared to a car, or even a small hatchback.

The bike in question is only 160cc, and does 30-40 km/litre (~18-25 miles/litre).

So, what is your opinion on all this, and how can I improve my situation?
