#ubuntu as #unreliable as ever, this time a complete #lockup needing a #forced #reboot ... Checking the #syslog - apparently it happened for no reason at all... Thanks #ubuntu !
Interesting #project to #build a #kernel and #programs that #survive #reboot https://github.com/dzavalishin/phantomus.. One of the great questions raised is how to handle #bugged #software ... Apparently #software #reset is in the #os by design. I thought about this some time ago, and in theory all state can be derived from #observations and #periodically #querying certain systems. We already do such things with #cache for example.

Bare in mind that its only real job is to fetch an #xml #rss #feed - it doesn't even recover from #reboot very well either (feeds are forgotten). It's impressive that for what should be a simple program, it actually isn't. I'll keep an eye on it... I legitimately could do a better job than this.I genuinely believe I could do a better job if I built an #rss #feed #reader myself. Do away with the #webengine - get everything out of #ram - build using the principles of #kiss ... It should be using 64MB of RAM, not over 1GB of RAM. Insanity.

I seriously need to think about moving server #asap ! Believe it or not, this server has been running for quite a few years - I'm not sure I can even remember exactly how to get it all going again! What a pain this will all end up being...Heh, nothing is ever truly simple. Running a really old version of #pandoc on this server that wasn't able to pull in the global #metadata using a parameter switch. Long story short, the #server #script for building #coffeespace needed a workaround to support both versions. Until now, the webpages were not being build correctly...
Awesome! Looks like the #hubble #space #telescope is back online! https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/07/.. Apparently a new #computer and a #reboot was enough to get it back online again. Apparently it ended up just being a #powersupply issue, specifically the part that monitors the supply rail to make sure it is correct: https://hackaday.com/2021/07/16/the-fix-..
