Hello everyone :)

My Linux learning and Homelab setup is going smoothly and after a long period of stagnation, I'm in a new learning curve :D ! I just learned the magic of hard links and implemented them with bind mounts (yeah hard links only work on the same file system :P) to my Qbittorrent scripting to automagically move them as hard links to a bind mount accessible to Sonarr, Radarr, Jellyfin... and move, rename and do all other things without even touching the original files: PUR MAGIC !

Everything is a file? Naah, everything is a hard link ! (Or inode? xD)

While I'm overjoyed I learned and have a better understanding of files, hard links, soft links, file system, docker, web, all kind of things related to IT... I'm getting kinda overwhelmed of what's happening on my system !!

• I have a dozen docker compose on my server, all behind traefik resolved by my piHole DNS on a raspberry pi, some have a custom image made by myself for certificate purpose or some manual changes I added.

• I have some .config files in my ~/ to improve my micro experience and make it more integrated over SSH with my Mac and Desktop. If also have some config files in my /root directory for my miniCA for all my service with my personal local domain name and other config files like /etc/bash_aliases and some changes in /etc/bash.bashrc

• I have some python .venv for learning and scripting with python

• I have a complex and long bash script backup for all my docker containers to back up my volumes, config files and media files separately

• Installed some useful and needed packages like resolvconf, wireguard, samba...

• I have a few samba shares, all accessible in my LAN with sometimes some exotic configuration for Mac integration

• My docker containers have some bind mounts shared volumes

[....]

And now I also have some hard links lying around in the mix ! So I have to say it out loud: I'm OVERWHELMED !

Yes, I do keep some notes in Obsidian and also have a self-hosted Forgejo to keep my notes updated and have some kind of version control of changes in my scripts, but I do feel like I'm not sure anymore what I have... Not to say I didn't mention all the other stuff related to my phone (baikal, ntfy....) or how to keep everything updated (WUD does the trick for containers :)) and tidy...

I guess I'm looking for something magic, something that could In ONE blink give me what's doing what and where? And changes my life for an ever-growing IT space ? Preference something visual...?

I hope to hear from you guys on what I can do to take away this feel of being lost and not being able to fully track my systems and my LAN !

Thank you !

I forget what happens in reality (and also just want the community's opinon).

Someone on the boat opened fire on the American Fish company, an official said.

For Palestinian Americans and the millions of people who stand with us, these newfound concerns about political violence have come as a surprise. After all, we’ve been watching genocide—perhaps the ultimate expression of political violence—unfolding in Gaza for two years, as Palestinian journalists like Hossam Shabatt are murdered for simply showing the truth. We’ve watched both Democratic and Republican administrations fund and arm this genocide while brutally repressing any and all public opposition to Israel’s crimes.

Many of the same church congregations that mourn Kirk’s death have said nothing as the homes of Palestinian Christians are stolen by Israeli settlers and as our churches are bombed by the Israeli military

If you truly support free speech, protecting the civil liberties of all Americans is paramount. But for all of the conservative outcry about cancel culture, the fastest way to get canceled or fired is to publicily oppose the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Charlie Kirk may have viewed himself as a free speech advocate, but he was a staunch supporter of these repressive measures.

Despite this, Kirk was afforded humanity by many of the very institutions he actively campaigned against. Columbia University, for instance, put its campus flags at half-staff after his death.

When I think about the public response to Kirk’s murder, I cannot help but wonder: Who is allowed the permission to mourn? Who is granted the ability to grieve? Whose death is seen as remarkable? Why is the life of Charlie Kirk more precious and valuable than the life of a child in Gaza? Or the life of Leqaa Korida, who has remained in ICE detention for months, despite losing over 200 family members in Gaza?

The reality is that political violence cannot be separated from our American present or our past. The United States was founded on the enslavement and subjugation of others. The very concept of manifest destiny, a 19th-century belief that settlers had the right to expand across North America, displacing Native Americans indigenous to the land, is a form of domination carried out through of violence.

Seriously, I sleep through alarms and people calling my name even in the same room.

You can do almost anything with them. Better than humanity you ask? Yes! For example, can you prepare humankind the way you can a bean? Nope.

Haters will say it's not true, but it is!

Just needed to remind everyone of this incredible Trump quote that’s truly one for the ages

Workers Party of Britain | @WorkersPartyGB

That today our leader @georgegalloway was detained under the auspices of the Terrorist Act comes as no surprise. This is not the first time the establishment has attacked us, nor will it be the last as long as we pursue the interests of the working class.

British imperialism is in decay, crippled with mounting contradictions both at home and abroad it is exposing its own barbarism and tyranny. The genocide in Palestine has been live-streamed and 350,000 British workers have been sacrificed on the altar of austerity - the Emperor has no clothes.

In its monstrous naked condition it is meeting resistance to its crimes by scuttling the last vestiges of liberal freedoms. Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and peaceful civil disobedience all lay on the scrap heap of what was always the brittle veneer of a capitalist regime.

The historic task set before us all is the democratic struggle, against the regime, and its suffocating laws that now censor and chafe all political and civic life. This struggle will expose the limitations of the system, chief amongst them that rights, liberties and freedoms are not merely gifted, they must be won.

I've been having issues with my homelab ever since I set it up a few months ago. For some reason the server becomes unresponsive as if it is offline. However when accessing its CLI, it seems to spew out this message in continuity.

I've tried entering commands directly into the CLI, but it shows an 'input/output' error instead. I cannot even get it to shutdown through the CLI so I have to manually pull the plug.

Here's another screenshot of the logs in the CLI a few moments just after the error occurred.

The issue does not even get fixed after I try switching it off and on. Sometimes the homelab gets stuck indefinitely in the startup loading screen, fails to detect the system partition between the GRUB stage, results in a Linux kernel crash or refuses to boot altogether. It is only mitigated when I leave the homelab switched off for 5 minutes or so.

The weird thing about it is that there is no way to predict when this error could come up. The server would work completely unhindered for a few weeks straight on some occasions, and break down just a few minutes after startup. It doesn't depend on what type of services I am hosting, all of which are lightweight in nature.

Additionally, once it does start working again there seems to be no record of the encountered error to be seen in the logs, apart from the number of unsafe shutdowns. This makes it difficult to debug or even document the matter coupled with the fact that its occurence is random in nature. I'be tried running several diagnostic tools including smartctl but I am unable to deduce anything useful out of it.

Some specs and info about the homelab is as follows:

• Build: Pre built Compact Mini PC
• CPU: Intel i7-14700
• RAM: 16GB
• Storage: 1TB SSD
• GPU: Integrated Intel HD Graphics 770
• Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

I would really appreciate if you could point out the cause of this issue. This experience makes the server reliable which is why I don't feel comfortable hosting anything valuable or sensitive on it yet.

I can provide you additional details or logs if required.
