thuban: just have to check - does the live OS I use to install grub have to be the same as the OS one? I'm also seeing stuff about booting in EFI mode to install grub so I don't get a legacy version and I'm not sure how to make that work, am afraid I'm going to botch something because I'm not sure of what I'm doing
-
Doranwen
I did see all the instructions about doing it from the correct system and all that
-
kiska
-
thuban
Doranwen: in theory, no (especially if you follow the chroot instructions). in practice, maybe. sometimes you just have to try stuff and see if it works
-
thuban
you already have a backup, and you can always repartition your drive if you have a problem, so there's no real risk here

Hey there

getting here has been a wild ride

but i think it started with a hacker news article about Anna's Archive

thuban: I'm assuming that just updating grub isn't sufficient, that I need to actually install it - since this comp had legacy grub on there before, is there something I need to do to make sure it installs the EFI version of grub or will grub-install automatically do the EFI version? The answer's old enough that it's unclear and I'm seeing msgs both ways...
-
Doranwen
yeahhhh, it just says "This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!" and fails to install, bah
-
Doranwen
It's not doing it as efi for sure
-
thuban
Doranwen: yes, you will need to do grub-install before update-grub. using the appropriate `--target` (probably x86_64-efi) can't hurt. whether your `grub-install` supports efi targets may depend on the version and/or your distro's packaging; you may need to install a separate efi package
-
Doranwen
That's what I got when I tried grub-install
-
Doranwen
I'm doing it from a live disc for Mint 21.2
-
Doranwen
Aha, reinstalling grub-efi may have fixed it
-
Doranwen
It only had grub-pc installed
-
Doranwen
Yay, no error reported
-
Doranwen
However, one of the checks it had was to run `blkid | grep -i efi` and compare with ` grep -i efi /etc/fstab` - but when I run the first command, it doesn't find the efi partition at all
-
Doranwen
Iirc, it didn't have the mountpoint of /boot/efi, I may have missed something when I was setting it up

"- `statusOnly`: Only delete message types which are status related (e.g. away, back, join, parts, mode, ctcp...) but keep actual messages from nicks. This keeps the DB size down while retaining "precious" messages."

fireonlive
:O
-
fireonlive
-
that_lurker
Well it will delete it from the DB, but text version of the logs should still contain the data if I understood correctly
-
fireonlive
true :)
-
that_lurker
Would be nice if the cleanup code would also rotate and compress the text logs though
-
fireonlive
zstd all the logs!
-
fireonlive
also if the lounge would take more care for weird channel names
-
fireonlive
but a lot of clients have odd problems with that
-
fireonlive
(#// and # are the same file f.e.)
-
that_lurker
That's just good storage optimization. Why have two files when you can just have one :P

-
deadorbit
can i run Warrior from a dedicated server?
-
katia
deadorbit, yes, you could also run the project docker containers directly, though
-
deadorbit
katia thats what i mean, run warrior in a docker container on a vps
-
deadorbit
wasnt sure if the commercial IP would be a problem
-
katia
-
katia
there's a docker command to run the project container directly
-
katia
it'll be probably be less overhead than warrior
-
katia
and you can set higher concurrency
