All these comments about git, but OP is presumably asking about this: https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/

The original comment said "Sometimes those clankers can hallucinate useful ideas".. do you really think that they meant to say that the people are the ones hallucinating, not the machines?

Technically there was already the one used for ChromeOS

They asked about how to stop losing ssds in an environment with passive cooling and the answer is a heatsink.

Their pc has vents and is designed to rely on passive cooling. Perhaps it will last a long time, perhaps not.

And how's that going considering 3 ssd failures and current idle temp of 67C versus the expected 40's? You're clearly not so dumb that you don't know that a heatspreader will have its limits when you're up against dead air so this is plainly what's called being wilfully obtuse. And OP is the one who will suffer for it.

rushing into the operating theater to disrupt an in progress remediation of gunshot trauma to inform the staff that the persons heart disease is a big deal

Funny, I'd liken your advice to putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound. But keep telling yourself you're a trauma surgeon and not the janitor in a lab coat that OP was unfortunate enough to stumble into. Learn to admit when you're wrong.

Hey look, the thing many of us have been complaining about when it comes to the MIT license has been shown to be true, imagine that

They did not even launder it /s

In the age of LLM code laundering, I'm not sure any license will protect a project, open source or not

never heard of ts

OT, it completely checks out that danemadsen's github history is filled with "AI" development.

I've been playing Linux for a while, and I'm pretty sure it's spelled "guthib".

OverTheWire bandit is really fun. I was able to get up to the level with the encryption stuff. The encryption stuff confused the hell out of me.

Be sure to use the manuals and the wiki entries about the relevant commands listed on the website. You need to use some comprehensive reading and crack your brain. It is quite literally a puzzle. Not much I can say to you to help you without spoiling the puzzle.

Sounds manageable but I will only know the next time I end up on GitHub. Thank you for the help though, it might just be enough to get me through.

I have not worked it out

The secret is you have to scroll all the way to the bottom and click the tiny link that says "releases". Or sometimes click the ellipses (...) at the top of the page and find it there. From there you scroll to the bottom of the latest release and expand the section that says "assets". Then you typically need to understand package formats and choose the correct one for your device.

I'm personally very happy with my proxmox based server(s). I'm using community scripts for many of the setups of actual services. Over all, it's low maintenance and if I'm having issues it isn't with the host system. Not once did a system update cause a failed boot after.

That being said, NASty sounds rather promising. I doubt I'll switch over, but it might at least make for a fun experiment. And being nix based is rather nice for reproducibility.

I have not worked it out, too many times a search ended at GitHub; it’s like the great filter for me, I cannot for the life of me get past it.

Similar/ related Linux instructions are often the same. Just do the gobbiligoo and write magicmumbojumbo in the wolooolooo. It is often just presumed that you know all terms, and that you automatically skip the first 5 steps which are soooo obvious.

Same with proxmox/openmediavault/docker. It just works, as long as I remember to clear old docker images before they fill up root

Funny calling a nerd stupid. Probably doesn't even know what guthub is.

Superglue is ca glue. Ca glue chemically bonds to itself and mechanically bonds to the surfaces it’s put between. I would like to know the kind of glue you are talking about. I never instructed the op to glue a nut to their ssd, however that would be a fine thing to do.

If it’s not clear by now: yes, I believe the problems will be resolved with a heatsink. They asked about how to stop losing ssds in an environment with passive cooling and the answer is a heatsink. Even if I didn’t have a wealth of theoretical knowledge that can simply be regurgitated while on the toilet to people who will not read it, I also have experience dealing with flash memory in sealed, passively cooled and high vibration environments which indicates that conclusion.

Here’s how a heatsink will resolve their problems: the heatsinks huge increase to their nand chips thermal mass will reduce the effect that periodic reads and writes have on its die temperature and the heatsinks much greater surface area and better transfer properties will dump that heat into the ambient air much faster than the surface of their nand chips package will.

Their pc has vents and is designed to rely on passive cooling. Perhaps it will last a long time, perhaps not. Pulling the ol “would that end racism? Would that end sexism?” Is akin in this instance to rushing into the operating theater to disrupt an in progress remediation of gunshot trauma to inform the staff that the persons heart disease is a big deal.

Why not truenas?

it is a website for code, built for code tools.

Tell that to the people who distribute their applications exclusively through GH. I can't count how many times I've been told "just DL it from GH" and I have to reverse engineer the site to find the download link. I have it figured out now but it certainly could be a lot easier. And while I don't agree with the way it was presented, I empathize with the thought process.

Installation instructions are often terse with a bunch of assumed knowledge left implicit.

It becomes a sidequest needing an investment of an unknown amount of time with no guarantee that you'll have a working program at the end of it.

Man pages can be just as bad, like the developer was ticking a box.

It's called WSL. You can install it straight throught the Microsoft Appstore, whatever it's called.

You can find linux.exe easily on limewire or gnutella, should be just a few megabytes in size, enjoy!
