Now that my class is wrapping up, time to try out some Seagate MACH.2 (read: dual actuator!) HDDs. The performance from these has been crazy - over 500 MB/s sustained sequential reads per drive. Comes with more power consumption, heat, and I assume failure rate... But looking forward to seeing how these perform in the real world.
Either #Debian has forgotten how to write a boot record, or #Nutanix is eating them.
Either way, this machine was installed from a minimal .iso, booted from disk1, logged into, software installed (vim, curl), and on reboot apparently now has no boot records on any of it's disks.
@tripplehelix I've actually manged to chain together a reliable series of events that cause it, and it's unfortunately "software bug", and not "ghosts"
If I install uefi/secure boot in Nutanix, and shut down the the machine, the boot records disappear. you can install a fresh system and reboot many times without being affected. as soon as you shut down though, poof gone.
If I used bios/legacy mode, the boot loader persists, as you'd expect
@tripplehelix It's a tickbvox at VM creation, I'm not changing it on the fly at all. And now that I've gone and taken a screenshot, I see that I can't change it.
So far I've installed (and lost the ability to boot) three VMs as UEFI un nutanix, and one as BIOS that's not affected.
and it's only on power-off, not on reboot. the first time I found this, it was VM that had been up for 2 months, i turned it off to noodle with the NICs and (this)
What is the name for a person (me) who gets all his pens sent to a special pen "smith" who customizes and grinds down the tip to make it soft and flexible for spencarian writing...
I feel like "nerd" doesnt quite fit.. its something on another level and I dont know what to call it.
The YouTube algorithm is putting a lot of Dune related videos in my recommendations. I’m using the “Don’t recommend channel” and “Not interested” options to get it to stop.
For obvious reasons given my view on the new film.
Probably, an unpopular opinion, but hear me out: Java needs developer tools that are lightweight and built with native performance in mind. The existing ecosystem is solid, but slow and inefficient.
We can start with a simple formatter built in Rust, which takes nanoseconds to format your codebase, and does it relentlessly, without relying on you giving it any configuration options at all. Think, gofmt, rustfmt, Ruff’s Black-compatible formatter, etc.
my only question - "from the creators of game of thrones" - the ones that listened to the author and told a story half the planet was invested in - or - the yahoos that ruined a great show in one short season?
