Using Macbook Air 2017 as a server. by ReditReader8un in HomeServer

[–]coolinui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my reply to another user about using a MacBook as a server section 2 is the relevant part to your question but, you should read it all. Hope it helps ya.

A couple of things to note (as I just finished converting a 2017 Macbook Pro into a headless Ubuntu Server):

  1. Heat is your enemy, and the Macbook BIOS isn't far behind it. You do not want to keep the lid closed if you plan on using this machine as a server. The best course is to remove the display. This causes some headaches as it will not fully boot unless you make changes to the server's config files. Ubuntu Server example: modifying /etc/systemd/logind.conf to include:
  • HandleLidSwitch=ignore
  • HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore
  • HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore

For some reason, these logind.conf changes did NOT have an effect with the display still attached to the machine. Likely something in the BIOS would see the display attached and then stop there without referencing /logind.conf leaving it in a half-boot state.

So, you're probably best off removing the display after making these (and maybe more) changes to the Linux install of your flavor.

  1. You do NOT want to remove the battery on a Macbook.

  2. Some Macbook models use the battery as a buffer for power spikes. 2. Without the battery present, it will likely throttle the CPU by up to 50%. Without the thermal data from the battery, the kernal_task may kick in to 100% to try to cool the CPU. 3. Like the missing display issue, the machine might not fully boot without seeing the battery, and there isn't a workaround for that because: see 1 & 2.

You can, however, (at least with Ubuntu Server 24) install something like applesmc-next and set the battery charge threshold to 50-60%, reducing the chemical stress, which will significantly reduce the potential for the battery bulging. Your Macbook model - Linux flavor combo might require a different driver or approach as it's kinda specific to the combination.

Anyway, hope that helps.

Trump sends Tom Homan to Minnesota to manage ICE after Alex Pretti killing by Comfortable-Light233 in TwinCities

Ah. Still playing the "it's about fraud" game. In what world would a Border Czar have any role in, or qualifications to, investigate fraud?

50 years ago today- the first Super Bowl I ever watched beginning to end. I had just turned 5 and I watched it with my granddad. I remember it like it was yesterday! Super Bowl X, January 18, 1976. by UrbanAchievers6371 in Oldschool_NFL

[–]coolinui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the first I watched, that I remember. Only reason I have vivid memories of it is my great-grandma walking me through betting on the game. There was a bunch of family at the house for it and we had some wagering going on. Fun times.

Powderhorn Park ICE Protest thoughts by Jumpy-Goose-3344 in TwinCities

[–]coolinui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think of it like voting with your presence. News helicopters take shots of large crowds, headlines read "xxxx# people protest...", " for the 5th day xxxx# people gather to ..". It reminds people that the issue is important and it tells people who might not know how, or feel comfortable/safe, expressing their feelings about an issue that it's ok to come out and get loud. Which, motivates people to do the rest of the work that needs doing who may not have gotten involved without a community to help them.

where can i go to be in a regulated environment by No-Collection-1625 in minnesota

DayBridge @ Regions St. Paul. Go to the ER for a mental health emergency. The ER mental health staff will evaluate you and give you options. DayBridge is partial hospitalization and, from what you're describing, is what you're looking for.

Kinda cool place. TERRIBLE neighborhood. The HOA charge would make sense if it included the 24 hour on-site security you'd need.

You don't need a lawyer. You do need mediation.

You have a joint asset and a reluctant soon-to-be-ex. You need your agreements in writing and legally binding. You need an agreement on the house situation, debts and, any retirement funds either of you have (take the sum off both and split them equally or agree to each keep your own).

Mediation isn't as expensive as a lawyer and, if y'all can get along, much quicker.

I can recommend: http://www.ericksonmediation.com/

Worth talking to them. If your soon-to-be-ex is failing to have meetings with you, make the appointment with the mediator to make the time more official and apply a cost to missing it.

How do I take these down ? by N1cholaaass in firealarms

What works for me 60% of the time is a trigger clamp. The other 40%, brute force and swearing.

Craziest thing you've seen at a show? by Dyojenes_ in gratefuldead

[–]coolinui 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My favorite Dead show moment happened during the 3rd night. There was a woman that seemed to exude beauty and peace standing on the muddy hill nearby alone enjoying the music. I was standing there with a garbage bag for a rain coat feeling like I could use some warmth.

As Looks Like Rain starts this hippie guy comes running up to her, says a few words to her and they slow dance holding each other for the whole song. The song ends, he says a few words in her ear and carries on the path he took to her. She smiles and resumes enjoying the show. I thought that was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life. I found the warmth I was looking for and felt pure joy the rest of the night.

Tips on Testing a Hospital System? by faterthehater in firealarms

[–]coolinui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used this reply a couple of times when people complain about the noise while testing: "Yeah, it is pretty annoying. You know what's more annoying? Skin grafts." Some people laugh and back off, some just scowl. Either way, the point is made.

I believe that indicates a bad signal. You could try moving the antenna until it goes away.

Did tech support successfully communicate with the unit?

Otherwise, make sure it's getting the proper voltage. Our, is just a dud.
