[~~Help~~ Diagnosis] How to turn off power to NVMe SSD? OR Why/How is my SSD heating up in weird ways? in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

Perhaps your GPU is heating up your SSDs?

Of course, that is happening to an extent, but the moon is not hotter than the sun, right?

Also, I later found out, the problem was that the SSD was staying on when I woke from Sleep.

As to why my OFF temp is higher than your ON temp, it's probably just bad airflow, which I haven't come to fix yet.

Wait, could this be my first kernel bug?

I have a multiboot system. One of the installed OS's does not use the NVMe SSD installed on the motherboard at all.
At the time of taking the screenshot, all the SSD partitions are unmounted, so apart from detection, the SSD is mostly unused.

  • I would like the temps to drop down to SYSTIN (≈35°C) levels.
  • I know, it's right next to my GPU, but I am not doing anything GPU intensive, the GPU temps are ~37°C ^[apart from GPU memory, which is 48°C due to the awful AMD 7th gen Zero RPM, which has no workarounds on Linux]

For the unmounted and unused HDDs, I just use hdparm -Y, but there seems to be nothing in terms of that for the SSD. And even though I appreciate the additional heat in winters, this is going to be too expensive for me. I'd rather burn some cheap Nichrome than my data storage device.

I checked out a Debian forum thread and from that, I checked the following:

❯ sudo nvme get-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 2 -H
get-feature:0x02 (Power Management), Current value:0x00000004
        Workload Hint (WH): 0 - No Workload
        Power State   (PS): 4

Showing it is already in the lowest power state.

I have no active cooling setup for the SSD from my side. This becomes relevant soon.

  • Checking the SSD temps (using the same widget as in the image), the temperature on Sensor 2 starts out at ~40°C (after a normal reboot) and slowly increases to >50°C as shown at the start of the graph. Power State (PS) is still 4.

  • Running KDE partitionmanager, which probably does some reading to check the partition information, at 50°C stage, causes a temperature drop, as shown in the image.

  • Running KDE partitionmanager right after reboot, when the temperature is increasing very sloowly, seems to do nothing significant.

  • Turns out that after a few minutes of System Standby, the SSD doesn't return to PS: 4, so I have the culprit.
  • Running partitionmanager after that causes it to go back to PS: 4

So we have a solution! All I need to do is run partitionmanager on wake. nlol jk

No idea. I just ~~read~~ heard that this is A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Maybe something to do with stems with a lot of CAPITAL.

Lower end is more complex and critical

In that case, I suggest:

  1. Taking into consideration, the US Govt. mandates and learning Rust.
  • This would only work out in the long term though, as in most places, there is not a demand for it yet
  • I feel like it will catch on, considering they do have some points and a lot of power.
  1. If you are going with the short term one, getting familiar with C, C++ and being able to visualise memory.
  • The visualise memory is required anyway. Alright, maybe not strictly required (I worked in a Govt. workplace and a lot of them could not) but it is important to excel.

Coming to answer after being woken up by a neighbour's after-party noise, after a few hours of inadequate sleep caused due to noise from said party. And it's half past ten. On top of that, I have had a bad sleep for the past 2 weeks due to continuous bombardment (no, that's just Diwali) for the past 2 weeks.

And even from the video, you may notice - It's less about cars, but that people are loud:

  1. People like car go vroom vroom
  2. People like farting motorcycles and most of them over here, buy non-farting motorbikes and get them modified to get them to fart. Same for farting cars. Only a few cars that fart by default. Mist of the farters are modded.
  3. The horn problem is also more about people and less about traffic necessity. On top of that, the sound-proof cabins make it hard for car drivers to hear cycle bells. I recently got a near miss from that.
  4. And guess what, that area also gets loud when there's a party
  5. Tire noise, I'd rather have that. How else would I know when there is a car behind me, before they blast the horn? In fact, me detecting the car first, looking back to see their lane and giving way, has prevented a lot of potential horns. But yes, if the low sound roads and the porous roads that help in rainwater infiltration (causing groundwater replenishment and reducing sinkhole probability) are the same, then I would definitely be for it.

Air pollution:

Picture shows cigarette butt on road, implying that someone smoked while driving/riding, causing others behind them to intake/inhale that smoke
Taken from 9:13 in the video.

  • Roads have been pretty breathable ^[at least as long as you are only considering the vehicle smoke and not the smoke coming out of smouldering sticks in the rider's/driver's mouths] ever since Catalytic converters and I have been mostly fine, breathing heavily while running over 35.
  • There is another kind of farters. The vehicles who don't get proper maintenance and start puffing white smoke, filling the road air with it, making me have to take a stop or hastily overtake them.

There is just one case, where I would look differently and that is the case of tuk-tuks and mopeds, which turns out to be out of necessity and lack of money. Because those have to be cheap, to cater to the requirement of the target customer, reduced noise comes lower in the list of priorities.

It's not trying to say either of them.

It's just guessing what word to say next, given the previous words in the context.

Had they just used some punctuation - "The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday, announced", it would have made it easier to get. Even, "The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders, on Thursday, announced" would be doable.

How do these feel?

Is Anarchism viable? in c/anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 22 hours ago

Having rules, means we need to be sure everyone follows it. And having a condition in which everyone wants to and strives to follow it, is also something utopian.

So even if the rules turn out to be desirable, a deterrent would be required. Now of course, for the thoughtful, the deterrent would be the possibility of losing long term stability, but for those who only think of immediate gains, you either have to band up (which eventually causes formation of communities and states) or they band up (= bandits) and eventually become kings (the problematic kind).

And then these things come into play:
Cooperation game Pretty good linking of thoughts by Veritasion

Then comes the most important point (or at least what I consider so). Technological progress. Science is very much viable in Anarchy, with most scientist-scientist interactions not really requiring a state in the first place. You just need an incentive structure that is good enough to make maintenance (including prevention of loss of knowledge) and further improvements, a desirable endeavour. And science can take a lot of resources, while not showing any return for a long time.
Depending upon the case, this might incite frustration in those, investing in it for those working on it.
And stagnation is not a possibility. Any attempts at that will just cause a slow downfall.

Until he actually had to use it.

Took 2 hours of reading through examples just to deploy the site.
Turns out, it is hard to do even just the bash stuff when you can't see the container.
