My indie theater has a bright blue pixel in their main screening room.

I complained about it when I first noticed, which was more than a year ago. It was still there the last time I went.

What's the CRT for?

Edit: Ah, NVM. I see the game consoles on the shelf above

I think a simple approach would be:

  • read a chunk of the response into a char array of known size
  • iterate through the buffer, looking for the CRLF characters that signify the end of the header section
  • copy the header into a dynamically-allocated char array
  • if you didn't get to the CRLF characters that signify the end of the header section, read more data from the socket into the known-size char array
  • if it takes multiple read operations to get through the header section, then each read you can allocate a longer header string, copy your old data to it, and then append the next chunk
  • when you hit the CRLF, or if read indicates no more data is waiting in the socket (eg connection terminated early) then you can throw a null character at the end of your string and that's the headers

This is a somewhat naive implementation. Instead of reallocating and copying the header string array for each read, a linked-list data structure could hold the chunks of buffered data. Then at the end you combine them into a string that's exactly the right size.

Proliant G9 is an EoL server that hasn't been sold since 2018. Meanwhile, Debian bookworm released last year. I'd be surprised if the problem were that your installer gave you a kernel that's too old.

What is the output of ip addr show?

It might also be worth ruling out low-level issues:

  • Check for anything strange in the BIOS related to disks (fwupdmgr can automatically install BIOS updates from a live Linux session. I don't know if Bazzite does this)
  • Try using a different SATA port
  • Run some SMART tests on your drives

Have you used BRTFS with your rEFInd install before? I recall needing a few manual configurations before it detected my Arch install.

I'd recommend mounting your EFI partition from a live ISO and trying some of the configuration steps at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd#Btrfs_subvolume_support

Nodding at men you pass is a culturally-specific action, and not universal to the male experience. I only encountered it while living in the Midwest.

To be pedantic, Ford's threat is to "rearrange [the computer's] memory banks with an axe"

The countdown is until he starts doing it.

I'm very lucky to have an independent radio station in my area. It's run by a nearby college, but they let anyone take training to become a host.

They don't always play music I like (hell, they don't always even play music) but I'll deal with 30 minutes of buddhist chanting because the variety can't be beaten. Also, they have no ad breaks.
