it is explicitly telling me to replace all 4 RAM modules. I should not have bought non-returnable RAM (edit: I didn’t)

I really don't know what to do now. There's a hexdump of the error log in the ASMI web interface but I don't know how to decode it.

it doesn't boot

something about the collect_drawers istep failing (I don't know what that is)

I can't try the RAM in another computer or try different RAM because I don't have any other computer that accepts DDR4 RDIMMs or any other DDR4 RDIMMs to test with

this manual gets the DIMM topology diagram wrong: slots C41 and C37 are swapped from the actual positions as marked on the board

I thought I could use my spare SATA SSD but there's no SAS backplane and the drive bays aren't connected anywhere, and I don't have a spare NVMe SSD

the RAM arrived! (but the SFP DAC cable and the SSD hasn't, so I can only boot from USB and connect to the network with a USB wifi dongle)

@dpk it's weird how the meaning changed from being the normal acquittal verdict (and not guilty being a jury nullification) to meaning there isn't enough evidence to convict but the jury still thinks the defendant is guilty

another exam today, but I'm not sure there's much point in doing it because I already passed it last year and I didn't finish the coursework in time so I don't think there's much chance of doing better this time

@kemona_halftau I really need to shift it back east again somehow

@kemona_halftau good morning!

@kemona_halftau good night! (I'm also going to bed now)

it's hilarious that they clearly just painted the word "deploy" over something else when they must've had a template

that website is truly a masterpiece of web design

I forgot I imported this (it’s from the official IPv6 forum website). I think it might be too big for mastodon users to see.

@eschwartz @hatzka @albertcardona @ariadne Hurd is actually worse, SMP support on x86_64 was vibecoded

according to IBM documentation you're supposed to "contact an authorized service provider" to reset the admin password

but, I asked the seller and they told me that there's two switches on the FSP (Flexible Service Processor) card and that you can reset the password by changing the positions of both switches, booting the server (or rather the FSP), then changing the switches back and rebooting it again. I did that and it worked! the switches are tiny and covered by yellow translucent tape so I didn't notice them at first
