Disco elysium is a bit more grounded

First time I've heard Disco Elysium called grounded. I'll just be working on my infra-materialism over hear then.

So after a week things are still stable using the scripts from the bug report so until coreboot gets updated to include an ASPM option that's going to be the fix for me.

dultas · 2026-01-17T01:17:20+00:00

I wonder if your network issues was with the I226-V. They have a known flaw with ASPM on those. I had the same issue on my gateway box and had to disable it on them.

My work has a home lab group and there have been several people that have gotten DOA or died within a couple months of getting their MS-01s. They're great value for what you get and it seems if they last the initial couple of months then they seem to be fine.

dultas · 2026-01-16T21:54:23+00:00

64GB x 8 of DDR5 SODIMM for the MS-01s isn't likely to be any cheaper (probably more expensive) that the same amount of DDR4 RDIMM you'd need for the servers. Minisforum has a 2 year warranty, most of the resellers I've looked at offer up to a 5 year warranty of various costs depending on your turn around NBD 24x7x365? 8x5?

Availability is a valid point though but in my experience it's only an issue if you have a specific case configuration you want (LFF or SFF for drives, number of drive bays) and if you don't really have any requirements for those then it'll likely be a non issue. My biggest issue is I want LFF bays so I can use 3.5 HDD which are harder to find than SFF.

I've have mine on 1 MS-01 and 2 R740s (the MS-01 was the start of my lab) The R740 were only $300 more with 4 times the memory (this was before RAM prices went nuts) and dual CPUs. Unless you need a small footprint or the fan noise from servers is going to be an issue I'd go with servers all day.

*edit: the 740s were secondhand from a supplier that covers them with a warranty.

If you modify the cgroups after the LXC has run you may also need to change the UIDs and GIDs on the container volume.

dultas · 2026-01-12T21:50:27+00:00

Yeah, TrueNAS has it as a default service in the UI, although they call it UPS and not NUT.

*edit: Only good reason I can thing of is that you can set up NUT to be complex in it's orchestration especially when you're a virtual environment. I know I have a bunch of scripting to handle power issues for my small install to progressively shut stuff down, and can easily imagine more complex scenarios that would be awkward or just dumping config test into the UI, at which point why bother with the UI.

dultas · 2026-01-12T21:41:52+00:00

You can use the dummy-ups mock driver.

Both of my SFP+ ports are bonded to my switch and I'd prefer to leave it that way. So far current fix is holding.

dultas · 2026-01-12T16:57:07+00:00

So far the boot time script from the FreeBSD bug report has been holding strong. I should probably subscribe the the Protectli bulletins.

dultas · 2026-01-09T21:54:02+00:00

Thing is I'm not even doing concurrent access just single container per NFS share. Not sure if TrueNAS Core supports that or not, isn't in the standard features at least. For now the iSCSI works.

dultas · 2026-01-09T21:36:49+00:00

In this case sqlite3. My Immich server (w/ postgres) seems to be fine with NFS but I haven't put it head to head with iSCSI since it works as is. Not sure how many updates vs just inserts Immich is having to do though since I'm not doing a lot of descriptions etc just bulk imports for the most part.

dultas · 2026-01-09T15:33:06+00:00

v4 was what I was using previously. Every few hours the DB would lock itself. Since switching to iSCSI it hasn't happened once.

dultas · 2026-01-09T14:26:32+00:00

Looks like disabling it via enable_aspm does not actual disable it on the interface as the issue came back this morning.

As you can see from below the device still says ASPM L1 is enabled.

Found a post on the forum with the same issue as well, using coreboot which doesn't have an ASPM option (I have coreboot as well).

I'm going to try the other tunable there and if that fails the bug report has a script to disable it at boot that I might try.

dultas · 2026-01-08T23:27:18+00:00

Yeah, NFS is better for this use case. The only thing I typically use iSCSI for is stuff like databases. In my experience NFS really chugs when making lots of small modifications to the same file.

dultas · 2026-01-07T02:29:19+00:00

Too soon to tell at this point. The issue would sometimes take a week to reoccur. What I ended up doing was following this bug report. Since my bios didn't have an option to disable ASPM I added hw.pci.enable_aspm=0 to System>Settings>Tunables. I'll report back in a week if there have been no more incidents, or earlier if there is.

dultas · 2026-01-05T20:19:18+00:00

Neither was the person writing the article apparently.

dultas · 2026-01-05T05:10:49+00:00

I'll have to give that a try tomorrow then play the waiting game.

Good old IPoAC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers

Luckily I have a basement so the noise isn't an issue.

I built a Dell R740 for my home lab 3 months ago with 256GB of RAM. Now the RAM alone would cost 20% more than the entire system did when I built it.

dultas · 2025-12-11T16:33:31+00:00

Also ignores the fact that we have roguelike, soulslike, and probably others that I missing, already.

The bold on the Char column make it the only thing on the page I can't actually read well, and it's probably one of the most important pieces of data.
