I always run a few things after a new build to test for hardware issues:

• https://memtest.org/
• https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng
• https://github.com/wilicc/gpu-burn
• https://www.smartmontools.org/

When was the last time you ran https://memtest.org/ ? I’ve had several instances when what seemed like a buggy update was as a hardware issue that showed up because memory layouts changed.

Well, fuck. Immich has been a solidly good piece of software for me. Any recommendations that aren’t Nextcloud?

Google has a single massive monorepo with excellent search, reuse, and build caching. Keeping modules small so they are easy to test, review, update and reuse makes a lot of sense with that kind of infrastructure.

Ahh, I see. I missed that part and was thinking of a KVM that could be controlled via a remote or ssh. Cary on then.

Here’s the secret that KVM makers Don’t Want You To Know: Nowadays KVMs are almost always redundant if you have a monitor with multiple inputs. A simple USB KM switch plus a script that can call https://www.ddcutil.com/ will take care of almost all use cases.

Only 33% downtime? Damn, that must be nice. I really need to get a hardware update.

Either a NAS, or a direct storage box plugged into your server. QNAP and Terramaster make reputable ones. Then you can setup your own storage pool across whatever drives you have.
