@freya it was initially configured for an HMC but I reset the FSP from the ASMI web interface before doing this (it was also sold to me with an unknown ASMI password initially, which I reset with a jumper on the FSP)

@freya there's an ASMI web interface that I can access via the FSP ethernet ports where I can set the baud rate and I made sure all that was right. I don't have an oscilloscope (I should get one) but the documentation says it's serial and I measured 15V with a multimeter (which seems right for RS232 and definitely not Ethernet)

@freya I'm just trying to get it to boot anything at all. It reaches status code AA00E1B0 (meaning "Waiting for the user to select language and keyboard."), but there is no output on the serial port and I don't have an HMC so I can't access the serial port that way.

I think I probably just didn't connect to the serial port correctly (either that or there's something actually wrong with it). It's one of those 8P8C ones but it doesn't seem to be any of the standard pinouts (I tried EIA/TIA-561 and Yost). There's an official IBM adapter that might work but it's quite expensive for a passive adapter.

@freya they call it IPL on Power Systems too (mine is a 9008-22L)

@freya so, do you have any experience with IPL devices (of the IBM kind)? (I have one and it won’t IPL)

I love having >100% uptime

@Jes @kemona_halftau on pissnet it was always the one windows server that had a clock that was consistently off by a few seconds (IRC requires accurate time on servers because timestamps are used to resolve nick/channel collisions)

@kemona_halftau it looks weird

@niko the fact that it's more than a quarter of people does surprise me (I have never knowingly stolen from self-checkout)

@link chromebooks

@dbattistella is this a part of their scanning process or just something they do for silly copyright reasons?

@kemona_halftau same (but I never really looked much into it)

@kemona_halftau I wish there was a standard way to do it that worked on all wayland compositors (and I think there needs to be one in order for wayland to be an acceptable replacement for X11)

@frogTheSecond with coreboot you wouldn't even need UEFI, you can just have coreboot execute the kernel directly as a payload

@niko @maddy I think it it depends on if GoToSocial sends a delete for the old user on migration. Account deletions are irreversible on Pleroma (and Akkoma) because they do not differentiate between local deletions and remote deletions, but not all software deletes the account on migration (mastodon I think does not)

@yassie_j

@kemona_halftau I liked the docking port, but on the other hand, the advantage of thunderbolt/usb-c docks is that they work with any laptop with a thunderbolt/usb-c port rather than having to have a separate one for each kind of laptop. also there is actually a side docking connector on the newer models that I forgot about (it's just a thunderbolt port next to a proprietary ethernet port), although I've never used it and I can't imagine it's as nice to use as the older docks (you certainly wouldn't be able to just lift the laptop out of it since the connector is on the side)

@hexaheximal are you sure it's working at all?
