I'm running Fedora 41 KDE and had what appeared to be an issue with the system not loading to desktop from the GUI login screen. I am getting a black screen with just the cursor and nothing else. I can get a terminal window going on TTY3-6 to reboot and doing so would load into the desktop pretty much instantly.

Turns out that there's actually a process causing total boot time from power on to exceed 6 minutes. Boot log is viewable here https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/8846c1ec

Using systemd-analyze blame I can see that smartd.service is causing 3 minutes of that boot time. From a quick search it seems like it might be doing a full SMART test of my 3 SSDs on the first boot of the day.

Does anyone know how to disable this at boot? There doesn't appear to be a conf file in /etc/ and smartmontools isn't installed.

Thanks @[email protected] and @[email protected] for correctly pointing out that fedora was struggling to mount a drive.

I checked fstab and there was no entry for the drive. mtab showed that it was mounted even though the drive wasn’t listed. I tried to find a way to have the drive ignored at boot but the only results that came up involved setting udev rules and those results were more than a decade old.

In the end I found the drive listed in /dev/. Using

rm nvmeXnXpX

I deleted the two partition entries and it now boots perfectly AND the drive is now listed correctly in the desktop and accessible.

But it also created public sector boards (or “joint ventures”) where chief executives from various agencies meet and discuss issues and provide advice to a single Government minister.

If it sounds a bit wishy-washy that’s because it clearly is. Its stated goal was to tackle major underlying problems facing the country. How’s that working out for us?

I get that this is a right wing columnist and he’s paid to be anti, but come on. Companies always decry silos and that’s exactly what this was set up to overcome when dealing with “wicked” problems, of which NZ has many.

Lots of decent tables, GME tools and rulesets on sale today. Finally picked up Mythic 2nd ed and a few sci-fi oracles.

All prices in NZD. Highest priced air cooled card, the Asus ROG Astral, is $6299 and the Asus ROG AIO is $6599.

Even after stripping out the 15% sales tax the lowest priced card is still USD 2655.

I was going to wait for a 5080 super anyway, or ideally a 5080 ti, but my 3080 might have to do its duty for another 2 years. This is pretty pathetic.

I found an old (more than a year) post where someone had issues with filtered keywords being reset. At the time it didn’t seem reproducible.

On iPhone, running iOS 18.2.1, it consistently clears the filtered list if I quit the app from the app switcher. Community and user blocks are unaffected.

I’m unsure if this is a new issue or not as I haven’t used a keyword filter until now.

I'm trying to host a vaultwarden instance through docker and failing miserably. This isn't my first attempt either but I've got much further than before.

I'm using a DuckDNS domain with caddy as reverse proxy, but it appears that the domain is defaulting to port 80 no matter how I set up the config. I can't specify a port number in DuckDNS as far as I can tell. If the simple solution is to just buy a domain name I will consider it. Otherwise could really use some help in sorting out why it's not connecting.

I can't access Vaultwarden on the internal IP as it's not being served as SSL but both Vaultwarden and Caddy are running with no errors in logs. I've left out a bunch of admin env variables for the Vaultwarden service to truncate the code.

docker-compose:

`[___](services:

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Merry Christmas dnb crew. I got back into mixing and producing this year after a 15 year hiatus and polished off this mix today. It’s a mixture of neuro, darkstep and techstep, mainly the tunes I have on repeat which is why there’s a few older ones in there.

I’m pretty happy with it, but unbiased feedback would be great even if it’s critical.

Coming from an 8700K so will be interesting to see how Assetto Corsa and Path of Exile do with the significant cpu upgrade.

A Kiwi classic for the start of summer festie season.
