Thanks, this all sounds like it'll be a very good idea.
syslog is attractive, but I'm not sure this even has syslog. Or maybe I

Hi all,
I have yet another query relating to the NAS box. I suspect this issue
is once again due to the weird setup and ancient software.
I'm finding that during startup piping and redirecting output doesn't

Yep, I saw it.
I'm just finishing off my assignment, but should be able to look at

Can't recall if you've tried this, but what if you replace the call to

Hi,
I remember us talking about an open source Pocket client, but it has

I believe they have: if I just run "mount", it shows the new options
that I specified. I know they work because I did encounter the "mount
point not mounted or bad option." error when I was trying to figure out
what options it would accept. I reckon that because this is D-Link's

Good idea, but sadly that just shows the default mount options. It does
show some other very small (unused) HDD partitions are mounted with
data=ordered though.

Okay, I'll try disabling that option too. I need to devise a way of
checking that the storage is still working properly after changing the
options - I don't trust D-Link (the manufacturer) very much at this stage XD

I like the solution of remounting. I'm running an extended SMART test on
the drives, but after that I'll give it a shot.
The other option that gets my attention is "stripe=96", but I'm not sure
I understand what that does in a RAID 1 array. Is this another option I
should change?

Hello,
After a power loss at the model town recently, I discovered the NAS
box's database had become corrupted. Fortunately, it was able to recover
the lost data with the "REPAIR TABLE" SQL command.
Unfortunately, when I was investigating the cause, I found that the
following mount options are

I'm fairly sure this has already been mentioned, but if not:
World Community Grid has launched a COVID-19 projects as well, and it
runs on ARM-based CPUs and Android phones as well as x86. Ibercivis has
stopped as far as I can tell, so this might be a good replacement project :)

Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you have run BOINC and/or Folding on Ubuntu
20.04 or a derivative. I'm thinking of Upgrading my desktop from Mint
19.3 to 20 soon, and it'd be good to know if I'm likely to experience
problems with these first :)

Hi all,
So as you may know, GitHub and GitLab allow you to download all files
from a branch as a compressed archive, using your web browser. For a
while, this is how we've deployed the river control system software at
Wimborne Model Town, as the system hasn't had internet access,
historically

The only thing I know related to this is that Android devices sometimes
have a bug where you have to run a shell command on them to get
tethering working (I did on mine), but clearly that's not the problem
you're having seeing as general internet access is working.
Ignoring the ping, can you
of the time. Other things could be that in using the 64-bit
kernel so I can do distributed computing on the Pi, but this has been
going on since way before I started doing that. Perhaps there's a bug in
whatever drives LUKS storage on the Pi/its architecture?
Any ideas?
