beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Cantakerous Lesbian Sourceress<p>In light of this, I'm recalling that <a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/beos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beos</span></a> has a more message passing mechanism and I'm wondering if that avoided this problem considerably...</p><p><a href="https://wetdry.world/@16af93/114308585253762364" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wetdry.world/@16af93/114308585</span><span class="invisible">253762364</span></a></p><p><a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/haikuos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>haikuos</span></a></p>
Josh Justice<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@linuxmagazine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>linuxmagazine</span></a></span> as someone who was there for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BeOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeOS</span></a>, this feels a lot like the BeOS situation, which does not bode well</p>
Kancept<p>So, I decided to max the RAM out on my <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Lenovo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lenovo</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Thinkstation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thinkstation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/P340" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>P340</span></a>. It takes 128GB of RAM. It gets here, I install it, machine just turns off and on. I troubleshoot, and if I pull the ram from DIMM slot 4, it boots fine. Not a bad stick as I rotate through them and they all test fine. I reinstall the original ram (2x 16GB sticks) and I notice the same slot is bad. </p><p>Call in to get warranty work, get the mobo swapped, same issue. 🤔 While the tech is on the phone to get another mobo on the way, I get some idea that maybe it's an allocation issue since it's happening during POST- you know- like the old <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BeOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeOS</span></a> &gt;1GB RAM issue. I pull my 3.2TB Samsung PCIe AIC NVME and 💥, machine boots and posts all ram- including DIMM slot 4. I try my NVME in another slot and same issue. 😓</p><p>So, weird issue- I can't have a PCIe AIC NVME (or at least this one anyway) and have all 4 ram slots work in a Lenovo ThinkStation P340 tower system. You'd think for a workstation-class machine, this wouldn't be an issue. But here we are. 128GB of RAM or an additional 3.2TB of screamin fast PCIe NVME server-class storage. 😐</p>
