The KVM is the most likely culprit. Remove it from the equation for awhile and see what happens.

If you’re ever present or have remote access to her network, make sure sshd is enabled, and try to SSH into it to see what happens.

Q’s:

1. Is this a laptop or desktop?
2. If Desktop, what kind of cable is the monitor connected with?
3. See if you can get dmesg output (needs to happen during the event, but the machine is still accessible - hence ssh above)
4. Does the monitor have its own power saving settings?

We’re all running high performance games through the same thing all the time now. Benchmarks best Windows in most cases.

You’ll be more than fine.

Wine, Bottles, Lutris…etc

Edit: this was a different kind of solution someone else sent me: https://medium.com/@pascalwhoop/how-to-get-lightroom-running-on-linux-with-webassembly-and-nativefier-a69dd9d9f647

I got it working under both Wine and Bottles for someone that needed it, but it was a real pain in the ass, and the reports on actually successfully doing so are hit or miss.

Found this solid write up on various options and results though, which sounds like it could be helpful for you while investigating: https://gist.github.com/eylenburg/38e5da371b7fedc0662198efc66be57b

I want to say Sonarr has a regex renaming feature, but I may just be making that up as I’m not looking at my instance right now. Doing whatever renaming based on a pattern would be preferable during the download phase in order to keep the metadata of each service clean.

Failing that, if you have a predictable list of release group strings you want removed from filenames, a one liner with sed or similar would take care of this. You’d then break the known locations of these files by any service tracking them of course, but they will eventually be reindexed.

Seems kind of pricey for that specific unit, but it should work well for just hosting simple services.

Honestly don’t know why people are up in arms and even posting about it. They aren’t saying they are removing the capability, just the default. Big whoop.

Pi-hole is fine.

You don’t need DNS forwarding from your modem, just your router. You could also just assign clients on your network your pi-hole address as DNS to block as much as you can.

Anything immediately in the position after for is an assignment of whatever you put there as a temporary variable inside the loop. You can call it whatever you want. The “i” is just used a lot in examples in programming for “item” or “iterate”, but you can literally call it anything. Anything that refers to it later will have a single item from the list in $LIST assigned to it for each run through the loop.

It starts with the hardware first. You started well with tuning your CPU/MEM frequency settings, but that matters less if you’re running giant PSUs (or redundant), more drives than you need, and a huge number of peripherals.

Get a cheap outlet monitor to see what your power draw is and track it at the wall. I just got these cheap Emporia ones. I’m sure there’s more reputable ones out there.

Don’t go crazy with your networking solution if you don’t need them. PoE switches draw tons of power even when idle, and a 24-port switch is a huge draw if you’re only using 3 of them.

Consider getting a power efficient NAS box for backend storage, and low power Minipc for frontend serving instead of using a power hungry machine for all your network apps.

You can dive deeper into any angle thing, but these are the basics.

Dude…I’m not even eating my time with y’all who have zero clue as to how QA/CI/UAT works. It’s such a waste of time.

Steam/Proton is only tested for KDE/GNOME, and that’s it. Hands down. Not even up for fucking debate. It’s a FACT.

You can read the docs, repos, GitHub Issues, forums, and everything else you want. That’s the facts, and it’s not going to change. Just because it’s OSS doesn’t mean they have all the time in the world to make sure your edge cases work FFS.

If you’re using a custom WM, your experience is going to vary WRT to Steam/Proton being able to run properly.

Author sounds like the problem. Simple obstacles to making it work just fine in the way that you refuse to address, so this is on you.

Project looks dead, and last commit was 2 years ago. Probably just some incompatible difference between a modern build and whenever the last work was done on it.

Read the real docs and repo though, not just somebody’s post about it: https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool

Which file did you edit for these Grub changes?

GRUB loads before any kernel driven hardware module, so this machine is just working on the native orientation of the CMOS and Display at that point.

Seems to suggest that the fbcon argument should work, but which version of Grub you’re using matters. Make sure you update initd if using Grub2.

OHHH…you didn’t get an actual on screen prompt, you just decided to reinstall. My bad.
