Damn, that was the only brand of RAM without LEDs and racing stripes on it
hits Google Shopping
Aside from being a black circuit board rather than green, that PNY DIMM doesn't look especially blinged up.

The Brits are still doing a penny!
Also, I can’t wait to buy up used RAM for pennys when the bubble pops.
The memory that manufacturers are producing is HBM; they're transitioning facilities that had been producing memory for DIMMs to producing HBM. HBM won't be in DIMM form factor
you can't just stick it into the slots on a PC motherboard.
I read an article yesterday that Samsung's memory division wasn't even willing to let Samsung's own cell phone division lock in any long-term memory buying agreement with them, which the cell phone division hsd been trying to do. Too much money in selling HBM memory for parallel compute to datacenters.

Some 6,000 miles away in California, Paul Coronado said monthly sales at his company, Caramon, which sells recycled low-end memory chips pulled from decommissioned data-center servers, have surged since September. Almost all its products are now bought by Hong Kong-based intermediaries who resell them to Chinese clients, he said.
"We were doing about $500,000 a month," he said. "Now it's $800,000 to $900,000."
I threw away a bunch of large-capacity DDR4 DIMMs last year, figured that they'd be useless in the future. Kind of wish I hadn't, now. Reusing old DIMMs is probably the only source of supply that can be ramped up in the near term.
In October, SK Hynix said all its chips are sold out for 2026, while Samsung said it had secured customers for its HBM chips to be produced next year. Both firms are expanding capacity to meet AI demand, but new factories for conventional chips won't come online until 2027 or 2028.
Two or three years until manufacturing capacity will be ramped up.
Why? I mean, they aren't compelled to manufacture DIMMs.
Right now, there is a window in time where there are companies willing to pay tons of money for HBM, more than most people and companies are for DIMMs. It'd be crazy for memory manufacturers not to make HBM if they have the capacity to do so, if they're doing way better by doing so.

It could be a backronym, where the meaning of something is changed after the name is selected to fit the name. I mean, the company is Chinese. I doubt that they initially chose an English-based name, but they sure could have adopted it later.

And yes, at least according to Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_Company
"BYD" is the pinyin initials of the company's Chinese name Biyadi. The company was originally known as Yadi Electronics (亚迪电子), named after the Yadi Road in Dapeng New District, where the company was once based.[23] According to Wang Chuanfu, when the company was registered, the character "Bi" (比) was added to the name to prevent duplication, and to provide the company with an alphabetical advantage in trade shows.[24] As the name "BYD" had no particular meaning, BYD started adopting a backronymic slogan "Build Your Dreams" when it participated at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in the US.[25][26][27]
EDIT: Ah, @ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml already pointed this out.

It sounds like it's mostly The Telegraph's style guide that specifies it.
From my /etc/resolv.conf on Debian trixie, which isn't using openresolv:
# Third party programs should typically not access this file directly, but only
# through the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf. To manage man:resolv.conf(5) in a
# different way, replace this symlink by a static file or a different symlink.
I mean, if you want to just write a static resolv.conf, I don't think that you normally need to have it flagged immutable. You just put the text file you want in place of the symlink.
Also, when you talk about fsck, what could be good options for this to check the drive?
I've never used proxmox, so I can't advise how to do so via the UI it provides. As a general Linux approach, though, if you're copying from a source Linux filesystem, it should be possible to unmount it
or boot from a live boot Linux CD, if that filesystem is required to run the system
and then just run fsck /dev/sda1 or whatever the filesystem device is.
I'd suspect that too. Try just reading from the source drive or just writing to the destination drive and see which causes the problems. Could also be a corrupt filesystem; probably not a bad idea to try to fsck it.
IME, on a failing disk, you can get I/O blocking as the system retries, but it usually won't freeze the system unless your swap partition/file is on that drive. Then, as soon as the kernel goes to pull something from swap on the failing drive, everything blocks. If you have a way to view the kernel log (e.g. you're looking at a Linux console or have serial access or something else that keeps working), you'll probably see kernel log messages. Might try swapoff -a before doing the rsync to disable swap.
At first I was under suspicion was temperature.
I've never had it happen, but it is possible for heat to cause issues for hard drives; I'm assuming that OP is checking CPU temperature. If you've ever copied the contents of a full disk, the case will tend to get pretty toasty. I don't know if the firmware will slow down operation to keep temperature sane
all the rotational drives I've used in the past have had temperature sensors, so I'd think that it would. Could try aiming a fan at the things. I doubt that that's it, though.
Serial compute isn't doing the double-every-18-months-in-speed since something like the early 2000s.
Unlike with serial compute, not all problems can be solved, run faster, with parallel compute. But at some point, unless we figure out some sort of new way to play with physics, we pretty much have to move to parallel compute where we can if we want much more performance.
