ok worse problem
i dont have anything that means i can breathe the whatever the fuck is smelling like that entirely safely
and its cold as shit outside so i cant just easily open the windows and work in open air

i think the solution here is to dress like i have to be outside and open all the windows anyway and turn the heating in the house off so i dont waste power

fucking kill me

ok so before I shut everything down I did a round to see if anything was obviously wrong
all the services running on everything was up and everything worked perfectly?
so I guess I'm doing a physical inspection

i moved some stuff around my living room so I have a work table and I opened enough windows to get a draft through the apartment
got dressed up in full wool and now I get to disassemble everything in less than 10°C

quick check of all the small things like network switches
still haven't found the culprit
I guess I actually have dive headfirst into the dusty disaster that is forgetmenot, my main NAS
this is what I wanted to avoid the most
kill me

it's the thing I can most easily repair but fuck this thing is a nightmare

i should have expected this
most of forgetmenot is from the early 2010s

@luce wow, it's been running a while, huh

@catraxx@tech.lgbt yea no if bits have died I wouldn't be surprised
the drives are newer but everything else is old recycled family computer from 2012

@luce ohhh i see

@catraxx@tech.lgbt this includes the old power supply which might be the culprit of my stress today

@luce that sounds likely.

@catraxx@tech.lgbt picked it out and it doesn't seem like it is?
