At this point, I would treat it as a failing drive and have a solid back up of the data.
The weird part is the sda device stops showing unless I turn the PC off and take the sata cables from it and restart the PC
That is the weird part. Almost like some intermittent power or connection glitch. Is this an internal drive or external in an enclosure? When you say the ‘sda stops showing’ does it disappear completely from lsblk? Does the drive have any SMART capabilities?
RIAA: Recording Industry Association of America
All you really need to know is they are a bunch of self serving pricks.
Our lives went separate ways and I got caught up in other things. That was 28+ years ago. Lots of water under the bridge.
Some of it’s magic, and some of it’s tragic, but I’ve had a good life all the way.
I keep everything in the main library Artist/Album/etc. Reason being, the software we used at the time was playlist and script driven. So you’d have something like: 'play 5 songs from the top 50 set list - play 3 songs from the commercial set list - play bumper and station id - play shoutout from random Indie band - play 5 from secondary set list - etc. So, at the time it didn’t make sense for me to segregate the Indie from the commercial. We played commercial cuts obviously for those familiar with them, but introduced Indie bands and promoted them for the most part. It was a shit load of fun really. Then the RIAA screwed everything up levying fees on internet radio that weren’t even required for terra radio. We had to pay $.5 per song, per listener, which doesn’t seem like a lot but when you figure up how many 3:00 minute songs fit into an hour and you have several thousand people tuned in daily from all over the world, it started to become some real money. Then we went to Washington to plead our case in front of a commission headed up by Senator Leahy. In the end a lot of us disbanded because we were doing this as a work of love for music and the Indie bands, and just couldn’t cut the fees on top of ASCAP/SESAC/SOCAN/BMI licensing. It was fun for a while tho. I’ve had a lifelong love affair with music.
ETA: At one point I really got into it with my postal carrier because he was toting sacks of CDs. I had to put a special box at the mailbox so he could dump all the CDs in. LOL
I also have a lot of local independent albums that are just not likely to get tagged anyway
I feel your pain. I have a lot of Indie stuff from where I used to run a legit, licensed, internet radio station back in the pre-Napster days. A lot coming from the now defunct MP3.com and Bandcamp. Some of which is a bit obscure. For those, I had to tag them manually.
But it could have been different
It should have been different, but we are shortsighted, greedy, with an overly inflated sense of self importance, and enamored with the shiny. It may sound defeatist, but I gave up trying to save the world back in the 60s when I came to the sobering yet liberating realization that 1) The world doesn’t want to be saved. 2) At best I can only try to influence a few people around me, relatively speaking, and in turn hopefully they do the same. I vote, go protest, do call and writing campaigns, but at the end of the day, I am but one man hoping that America does the right thing…which we rarely do.
My logs, including fail2ban, are quiet and boring.
Every once in a while, I’ll tail my f2b logs, almost half heartily hoping I find an anomaly. But, no…it’s a snoozefest. pFsense out there on the edge, just doing it’s job.
Nah…you’re good.
Ooops! Well at least the link was helpful to ZebraGoose
When I ran Crowdsec, I thought it was a great piece of software, and a very decent free tier. I didn’t have any real complaints other that there was not a way, at the time that I knew of, to have the UI selfhosted. I think now someone has created a selfhostable user front end to it, but I haven’t dabbled in that.

I think this gent posted this a week or so ago.
Fingers crossed.
I’m an expert at nothing, but I’m going to guess and watch the thread: Power/Under voltage or SD corruption. I’m favoring the latter.
Reason being, the logs are pretty normal. I don’t see anything that would portend a crash. So it could be that when the RPi crashes requiring you to pull the plug, it hasn’t had a chance to write that to the logs. I know, back in my RPi days, I had a lot of issues with SD corruption.
Well, your efforts are to be commended. I will say, that since you arrived, I’ve seen more interesting things posted here. People seem a bit more relaxed. I don’t know if that is coincidence or if there are exterior forces influencing that, but keep up the good work.
I wish you would have posted this about a month ago. LOL I’m still going to have to check it out. I love weather.
Wow! I’m impressed with our new overlord(s). You hit the ground running. You need some volunteers.
There certainly seems to be a lot of slate at 104 Davidsons Mill Road, North Brunswick, NJ 08902
AI isn’t a silver bullet. It (sometimes) is another tool in the toolbox.
I would fully agree with that statement.
Ever raise cats? They’re work!!!
It was really never the work involved in raising a child. It was what I would be raising a child in. At the time Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, the very real threat of global thermonuclear detonation, Nam, the violence and civil unrest of the 60s into the 70s and 80s, to name a few. It has done nothing but escalate.
Interesting. Never heard of it. I’ll have to do some reading.
Well, that was super cool of him. You don’t get a lot of mail carriers that really give a shit.
