Yeah it does

Doesn’t this mean that the system is never up to date? If so, please don’t.

Pretty much all monitoring solutions on the market track cert expiration nowadays. I get an alert when any of my certs have <5 days left

JS execution in a browser is hardly a problem.

That virultotal report looks completely fine to me, including the behavior tab.

Regardless, imagine what would happen if the firefox pdf reader was vulnerable to a well-known attack (of course there probably exist 0 days but they wouldn’t be burned on you). Any attacker could simply link you a PDF and you’d be infected simply for clicking the link? If this was true, people would stop using firefox because it would be insecure.

I don’t think this is your specific issue but I’m sharing just in case.

Once I had a similar problem and the root cause was basically that in the course of unplugging all USB shit just in case, I replugged my VR headset in a different port. That caused the entire system to become very unresponsive and the logs we’re not helping at all. Maybe you left a bad USB plugged in from something? Probably not but it’s free to check.

You should look in dmesg, it’s always a mess but maybe your issue appears there.

Pretty sure the TOR user agent is just default firefox, by design. It’s very easy to detect OS with very rudimentary fingerprinting techniques, a lot of which are blocked by the TOR browser but they can never get them all.

It’s… Not great? Sure it’s performant but that’s there is going for it, the rest is really not that good for a tablet. They should have made this a gaming laptop and it would’ve been fine.

Sorry I 'ever saw this, that sucks.

Turns out mine was broken too. I put the CPU in my gaming rig and it worked fine, so I bought a new motherboard and the problem is gone.

Syslog is considerable overkill for home lab monitoring.

SNMP does what you want. You just need a good monitoring solution that’s not as involved as Prometheus+grafana (I feel you, I’ve been there)

I really enjoy PRTG, but it’s way too expensive for a home lab, still throwing it out there if you feel like you have money to burn.

I hear good word about libreNMS, it’s next on my list when my PRTG licence runs out.

Be warned that monitoring is ultimately a fickle thing; what you don’t write in yaml config for grafana, you get to dig through obscure SNMP libs to find out (though I find that’s easier for me, ymmv) for other tools.

I recommend against: nagios (I like it but if you hate Prometheus it’s definitely not for you), checkmk (throw checkmk into the sun please it just fucking sucks), cacti (NO!), solar winds (why?)

if you feel like you want to become a datacenter admin: zabbix scales very very well, both in performance and ease of admin against hundreds of servers, but it’s overkill for a home lab, and it can get you lost in configs for hours.

It’s a gigabyte ab350m gaming-3 rev 1.0. it boots grub fine but then crashes right after displaying “loading Linux 6.x”, CPU led flashes then dram led stays on, I have to turn it off with the PSU switch.

Either it’s a rev 1.0 bug which is a thing on those motherboards, or the CPU (or igpu) is defective.

I’m currently waiting on support from both the seller and gigabyte but I don’t expect anything out of it, though I’m still yet to test it in a different motherboard.

Oh wow congrats, I’m currently in the struggle of stretching an ab350m to accept a 4600G and failing.

You’re right, you should hit PCIe 3 speeds and it’s weird, but the fact that the drives swap speeds depending on how they’re plugged in points to either drivers or the chipset.

I’m not fully familiar with the overheads associated with all things going on on a chipset, but it’s not unreasonable to think that this workload, plus whatever the chipset has to do (hardware management tasks mostly), as well as the CPU’s other tasks on similar interfaces that might saturate the IO die/controller, would influence this.

B350 isn’t a very fast chipset to begin with, and I’m willing to bet the CPU in such a motherboard isn’t exactly current-gen either. Are you sure you’re even running at PCIe 3.0 speeds too? There are 2.0 only CPUs available for AM4.

It might be that the data to both disks saturates a common link before the second disk reaches full iops capability, and thus the driver then writes at full speed on one disk and at half speed on the other, for twice as long.
