This happened to me on a fourth generation Intel MacBook Air with Refind and Fedora. When you say all the keyboard things, do you mean resetting the NVRAM and SMC? I thought I did the NVRAM, but it turns out I didn't hold down the buttons for nearly long enough. After what felt like two minutes, I got the "Bong" sound, and I was back in business.

I own the remake, and I actually had a fan site for it... And got to interview John Freaking Carpenter for that fan site, as he did the music for Sentinel Returns. It was exactly as awesome as it sounds.
Sentinel... From waaay back. Like, Commodore 64 age. I think it would be a perfect VR game, too.
WildStar got done dirty... It hit at the wrong time, but was so much fun. I could never get any friends to play with me. Le sigh.
Is it on Netflix now? I think I read that somewhere.
Godzilla Minus One. What an amazing treat! I went in expecting the big guy to stomp around Tokyo, but old timey, and instead got the best human story in a Godzilla film ever!
Also, Furiosa, which I liked too.
You mean I didn't need to spend years and thousands of dollars learning Linux and servers? Oh man! Oh wait, I'm getting ads in Windows on the start menu. Yeah, I'm happy.
There's a series of Lemmy posts called the Linux upskill challenge that goes step by step through setting up and using Linux. I tried self hosting and jumping straight in too, and it sucked.
What worked for me:
- Start using open source versions of stuff, like switching from Chrome to Firefox, Office to Libre Office.
- Set up Virtual Box, and practice running server apps on Linux on virtual machines, until you've done a few Linux VMs and gotten used to the interfaces and commands.
- Dual boot a laptop or desktop, one by one getting your daily use apps working in Linux.
- Distro hop a bit. I never thought I'd land on Fedora, but here I am.
- Get used to running and configuring servers from the command line.
- Host some stuff with VMs and get used to the networking and bridging and stuff.
- Containers!
I'm still in the middle of 6+7. Not super comfy with Docker quite yet, but getting there. I really do love having my stuff self-hosted though. Well worth the effort.
Thanks to this post, I'm going to adopt the title of Butlerian!
I worked in telecom for years, and recently left because my company decided to automate out a bunch of positions by using their shiny new AI. It suggested carrying 300 Amps at 50 volts (DC) several hundred feet with 14 gauge cable. (Electricians, go ahead and laugh.)
I went back to school, learning IT support. Most of my classmates are fresh out of high school, and they're all using Chat GPT like my generation uses Google. But instead of googling the answer and then figuring out how to make it work and testing the results, they just stop.
Chat GPT says to use this config? They use it. Of course it doesn't work.
Over and over, I have classmates asking me why their Copliot generated code isn't giving them the right answer, or why their server process is failing to start.
I fear for the safety of a world where the tech support is provided by people who never learned how the tech runs, never learned to read, test, experiment, fail, and try again...
So yeah, Butlerian. points at my face
I am literally on week 2 of my internship. Step 1: get past the automated screening system. Each job posting will have a list of keywords that had better be on your resume. So, if they say they are looking for someone with database experience, you need to have something like SQL, MariaDB, etc on your resume. My internship? They wanted deskside and remote support, so... "LogMeIn" "TeamViewer" "VNC" "Ticketing" "triage" "prioritization" "VPN"...
Also, my first five million resumes went out without me being on LinkedIn... Crickets. My first five million resumes went out with my name not appearing in my email address. I'm western Canada, but for some reason, if your name is Bob Smith, your email has to be bob.smith@mail.com, or crickets.
Is there a chance that the GPU is overheating? My (admittedly old) GTX970 had a fan that only spins up under load, and I got a wire stuck in one of the fans, and never noticed a problem until I tried VR. The load caused the fan to need to spin up, and it couldn't, so BSoD.
Also, if you have room, a dual boot into Linux would tell you if the issue is windows or if it's hardware.
I have tried a couple of Proxmox clusters, one with overkill specs and one with little Mini PCs. Proxmox does eat up a fair amount of memory, but I have used it with Ceph for live migrations. Its really useful to me to be able to power off a machine, work on it, then bring it back up, and have no interruptions in my services. That said, my Mini PCs always seemed to be hurting for RAM. So that's my pros and cons.
