Due to CAD/CAM and the nature of my industry, I'm stuck with windows on my daily driver for the foreseeable future. (Been using Linux since Ubuntu was new, have multiple servers and old chromebooks running different flavors.)

I've been putting off dealing with this. Goatfucking bullshit pain in my dick. Ffffffuck me right in the ass. I would happily slit Clippy's throat right in front of his little paperclip children and sleep like a baby.

Can I pretty please get recommendations on upgrading to 11 and unfucking it as much as possible? Comfortable editing the registry, using the command line, and monkeying with the BIOS. Anybody know of a good guide for neutering all the AI shit, copliot, onedrive nagging?

*Edit - Solved:

Thank you all very much! This is the advice I was looking for.

Long ago, I learned that when preparing to do a machine incantation; you must give the machine a good cussing. It shows the machine you are the boss and the machine gods are more likely to smile upon y

Machine ran fine (windows 7) before wiping the hard drives. Thing is, I couldn't access the boot menu to install a new OS via thumbdrive because the display cuts out when I get there, and I'm 1000% sure HP did this on purpose because I've seen other people experience the same issue in forums and videos even after verifying each individual component worked and that the setup screen still functions. I theorize whats happening is the boot menu is running normally but they have it cut the feed so that only trained HP employees know what buttons to press in what order. Ctrl Alt Delete during this phase restarts the machine, and accessing boot menu before wiping then pressing enter booted like normal.

(one of the damn things are locked up like Alcatraz btw, rivets in the case, had to wire it to another computer while leaving it in the original bracket)

But after installing Windows 10 LTSC onto the drive it still doesnt finish booting, and with no display output it's hard to know whats g

So i have an MSI H67MA-E35 mainboard and i got it with a intel i5 2nd gen LGA 1155, that i replaced with an intel i7 3770, also LGA 1155, but now the mainboard makes 4 beeps on boot and shuts down. I've been searching online, but found absolutely nothing, the fact that the motherboard is old also doesn't help.

edit: what i also found, is that it could be a unoperational timer

Edit 2: it was in fact outdated bios 😔

I have an SSD bay (left), an ARM computer (Center) and a plug board (right). They’re wired together as well as to the router above. The problem is that it’s hard to clean the floor.

Is there a way to improve the setup so it’s less obtrusive? Every time we move the stuff to clean the floor the server goes down and needs a reboot. It’s such a pain.

Edit: thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm going to swap the plug board for a double adapter. That way, they can be plugged in behind the locker leaving one less thing to deal with.

I'll either put the remaining stuff on the locker or else get a raised platform / stool for underneath.

I got a new AIO cooler and needed to also move to a bigger desktop case.

So I moved all of my internal components from one case to the other and also removed the old AIO and installed the new one. Besides that, I might have damaged my PSU in the process so I had to replace that too. It wouldn’t turn on anymore so I just replaced it this morning.

I tried booting into Windows and it went to a BSOD saying cache_manager was the problem.

I tried to get a recovery in there and Windows tried to automatically repair drives but kept coming up on this same error.

I created a KDE Neon live USB and booted into that. Zero issues. I then manually formatted my Windows OS disk in KDE and also removed the Windows bootloader. Basically trying to start from a scratch system with no Microsoft any.

Still getting the BSOD, even with the Windows 11 USB installer I created from their creation tool. I am able to get to that purple screen in the installer and see a cursor to move around with my mouse. That

Over the week, I've been slowly moving from mdadm raid to ZFS. My process was:

• create ZFS pool on secondary server
• rsync all files over to zfs server
• Nuke mdadm array on primary and set up zpool
• ssh dataset from secondary server to primary server.

This is 15tb of data and even over gigabit, it took a day and a half to transfer. It finally finished tonight, and somehow I'm the owner and group of every single file. In addition to this generally being weird, it also broke some docker volume binds, and I generally don't want it.

It looks like the same is the case for the files on the secondary server too, so it must have happened during the initial rsync.

Fortunately, I also rsynced to some offline drives which kept ownership fine.

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how the hell this happened. The rsync command I used was:

 undefined

    
sudo rsync -ahu --delete --info=progress2 -e ssh /mnt/MONSTERDRIVE/ ch00f@192.168.1.65:/bluepool/monsterdrive/

  

At least I'm pretty sure this

You have a dependency discrepancy with your local node modules and your global. You should be running this in a node virtual environment so all of the local projects dependencies don’t conflict with global.

I have searched around for answers to this, but so far, the solutions I found and tried have not been working for me. Thankfully, the update isn't that critical, so time is not of the essence as of now. But I fear, the problem will only persist.

So, bit of a headscratcher: I am following the guide to upgrade (no Docker) from here.

Simple enough, right? Sadly, I k
