I agree, but the question wasn’t about the percentage of cases, but about the possible reason to choice Ubuntu over Debian…

Yeah.

Those people seem to migrate from Reddit, but still carry it in their hearts and minds. 😑

No. The responses are the way they are, because people who gave them are already thinking they joined some elitistic “muh sikret klub!” group.

Simple “eh, it won’t fix the problem, and here’s why and how YOU can help” would be preferable, but no, special elite force of lemmy underground is too privileged to bother.

Thank heavens not everyone is like that. Saves the number of times I have to hit “block the idiot” button.

Ubuntu is what grew out of Debian.

But it’s radically different ENVIRONMENT these days.

Hard to tell.

Whole Linux movement has plenty of classes to take, if it wants to become more relevant. And social skills is one of the most important among these…

Support & community come to mind.

To a typical user/newcomer to servers it’s easier to find some solution for Ubuntu, than for Debian. And boy, can Debian users be full of themselves… 😑

Yeah. It’s good that there actually users who take time to explain some stuff, rather than just hissssssss like rabid vipers just because somebody - oh no, what a preposterous idea! - asked a harmless question.

I find this comment section a prime example of dickish hivemind seething over nothing.

There’s a dude, obviously quite fresh in the ways of Mastodon. He probably doesn’t realize all the nuts & bolts supporting the system and how it all works. He is asking a question that is logical, but it needs clarification, like “it doesn’t work like this, my man”.

Instead he gets “Hsssssssssssssss, selfhost it, hsssssssssssssssssssss, interloper, hsssssssssssssssssss, you want to destroy this place, hssssssssssssssss…”

Get a life, eejits.

Run the same computer from USB with Linux Live CD (Fedora suggested, it’s damn good hardware-compatibility wise). Observe how it behaves.

If there’s a rest button somewhere there, use it.

Also, check whether it gets proper amount of power - that the electrical plug fits in, doesn’t mean the charger is enough to power it up.

If it fails, then I guess it’s time to replace the hardware.

I see nothing on the video, so can’t comment on that, but could you test the switch by connecting a router to the 1st port and a notebook to every other port one by one, to check whether the devices talk to each other?

I assume that the router acts as DHCP server, and the notebook is set to DHCP address lease, so no additional configuration is needed…

It could also be

It can be great many deal of things swept under “IT doing something bold” rug. 😜

The script above would get you fixed but until the root cause is discovered you’d have to keep running it.

Yes, that’s what I wrote in the comment.

I can’t provide precise answer, since some services rely on HDD performance, while others enjoy big amount of RAM.

Personally, RAM and reliability are two things I’m after when entertaining the idea of a home server.

For example: I’m about to build a very simple file server + jellyfin + printserver + RDP rig and it’s going to be based on DELL 5040 + 8Gb RAM + 4Tb SATA, running… Windows 10 Pro. 🤠

This is brilliant.

Thanks Wojtek!

It’s either an attack on your IT infrastructure, updates breaking something, or your IT doing some suspicious bold things.

Either way, create (if you didn’t already) a *.BAT file on your desktop containing these lines:

net use * /delete

net use letterofmappeddrive: \\pathtothesharedplace /persistent:Yes

repeat the last line for each mapped drive and run the script every time something weird happens. You can also schedule it to run every an hour or so, until your IT provides a lasting solution to the problem.

Noprob!

Sorry for the lack of better answers. 😔
