storage: ZFS RAID2 array of three hundred free icloud accounts

I bet somebody's been bored and/or psychotic enough to have done that, booted a Linux machine from it, and played DOOM on it.

I've been unable to replicate this issue.

I have the exact same build except my network card is an official Playstation 2 network adapter. Try replacing the LLM.

Must be a bug on Debian side. That's all common hardware, so you can just rely on someone else to report it and you'll be back up in a day or 2.

I'm sure I saw something like that a while ago, but it was mostly a joke project. Can't remember its name or anything though.

For a more exciting FS, there is: https://github.com/yarrick/pingfs

You just gotta love the "do not hallucinate" part of that prompt, which is like taking a person tripping balls on LSD, and telling them "now hear this, I want you to only tell me facts, and I do not want you to hallucinate!"

Good luck with THAT.

The live image requires more RAM than that. Try the installer-only media (not the netboot).

I've got the same setup but I found the issue wasn't the hardware but a driver conflict with my Nintendo Gameboy Printer. I was able to rollback and get it working fine.

If you take a personal massager and sit it on top of them, it shakes them really quickly and that speeds them up.

I doubt it's a bug. It's probably a kernel issue, so try rebuilding the kernel on the hardware.

the practical answer is that you cool it down to reduce resistance.

the fun answer is to build one of those ocean wave desk toys with it so you can run the current downhill for access time or uphill for retention.

The Riva line were absolute bangers tbh. Mad props to the driver developers who were always playing catch-up on the hardware (mad props to the hardware designers implied) but always delivered the goods. I honestly hope they're rich AF.

Debian is the universal operating system, and I'm sure OP's computer exists in some universe. File a bug.

There was a brief fascination with gmail-as-a-drive when it came out and offered people 1GB of storage. I remember someone wrote a driver that cut your data up and stored it as email attachments.

Maybe they run like a custom software SLI (the 3dfx SLI literally split the screens into halves & each card rendered it's thing independently, iirc - could be done 4 ways, like merging 4 screens into one). And it's from a project last updated 25 years ago.

Idk, I just tried it on a similar set up (I don't have networking per se, just two pigeons with flash drives).

Works perfectly.

Maybe check the stability of gerbils in the PSU.

Giving the error so much attention is collapsing its wave function. Try ignoring it for a few days and see if it doesn't sort itself out.
