I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.
Photos or it didn't happen. It's very very very slow to boot, I'm not holding out much hope it will complete. Best I plan on extracting the hard disk data to an image tomorrow and see what I can do with that.
I thought the loud noises from this little server were from the power supply fan, chassis fan, or maybe the hard disk. Nope, it's the cpu cooler. Sounds a bit like a two stroke chain saw.
Shuffled ram around, no joy. There are a bunch of caps nearby that look like they're leaking a bit. Hmm. Diagnostics sometimes pass, sometimes not.
Maybe I'll just pop the ide drive out and find my ide-to-usb thing, copy to an image and see if a vm can deal with the zfs inside that. Might have to install a Solaris x86 vm.
I haven't worked with solaris or physical sun hardware in a looooong time, but I do have Solaris 10 optical media for sparc and intel here somewhere, and I know I used it to create a vm in the past.
Trying to boot up a Sun V100 that’s sat disconnected in the basement since we moved 12 years ago.
First I had to find where packrat me stored the sun rj45 to db9 console dongles, and then the old ibm 3151 terminal and its null modem cable and some gender benders and… I can see the LOM. (lights out management)
No go for boot. Diags say bad dimm0. I think there’s more than one dimm though, as it shows 1500 mb total.
I'm about half way into a novel which I've exited from a reading session with 'meh' several times now.
Can't relate to any of the characters at all, and because of that I don't care about them nor have any interest in finding out how their predicaments resolve.
Good thing it's an e-book and there are dozens of other new-to-me e-books on the device. No shelf space taken up, no book to get rid of via second hand means.
