Poor companies have to check the couch cushions for loose change.

What a fucking joke of a fine.

It was nice of them to provide a list of domains we can just drop in an EDL.

China has a long history of state sponsored cyber security attacks, so there’s no real reason to think it’s a lie.

That’s not to say that the US doesn’t do the same thing. Both countries doing it is bad.

Don’t spend too much time on it. It’s based on Android and Google is fucking up their access.

Not all banks are chains, and banks are kinda well known for using antiquated systems.

It could totally be a hardware issue. I’ve seen something similar happen because the temperature cycles caused the RAM to wiggle out of the slot a bit, but it wasn’t far enough to cause issues until the stick heated up and got pushed a little further out.

I don’t think it’s likely to be a hardware issue unless it’s a faulty drive, but I can’t rule out other components until I can see some errors.

I feel like it’s unlikely to be a hardware issue unless the drive Proxmox is on is dying. SMART is fine, but it’s on an SSD that’s nearly 15 years old, so it very well might be the cause. I need to migrate it to one of my nvme disks eventually.

But, I can boot into the Windows physical disk just fine (instead of booting into Proxmox and running it as a VM). Same with a live ISO on USB.

The fact that it’s perfectly stable after I do get it to boot is why I’m chasing down a software issue first. I also don’t want to think about the cost of having to replace hardware yet. But I’m definitely not ruling it out completely.

I’m going to take the advice of another commenter and turn off quiet in grub so I can get a better look at what’s actually going on under the hood.

That’s exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

I made so many changes following different guides on GPU passthrough on an LXC with a virtual display (never worked) that I’m tempted to rebuild Proxmox from scratch.

Kinda, but with encryption you know it’s encrypted. With this you don’t know what data is real and what’s fair fake.

Fortinet released FortiOS versions 6.4.1, 6.2.4, and 6.0.10 in July 2020 to address this flaw

The relevant snippet if you had the urge to go check your firewalls like me. If you installed an update in the last 5 years you’re good.

I have my router powering my pi, so rebooting the router will reboot the DNS server.

Are we sure this isn’t a case of, “it’s a feature, not a bug?”

I’m still getting a 500 error on a few sites, but no clue if it is related since downrightnow says it’s under maintenance.

That’s a great way to get hookworms.

I’m not sure where you’re eating, but wait staff ask that so they can correct any issues before it impacts their tip, not because they’re keeping tabs on you.

I once sat in the queue for MS support for 6 hours before I gave up, and it was for a business related issue.

Fun fact, they stop playing music after 3 hours.

Essentially, no. Not without fundamentally changing what you use the Internet for.

Ffmpeg isn’t a format.

That’s generally true for any end user software.

As an aside, be careful running your laptop with the lid closed. Some need to be open for proper cooling.
