MNByChoice is right.

Read the server’s logfile for better info.

Do you have especially short fingers? Or other physical problems?

Or do you just need to learn to type?

FreeBSD.

I needed to set up a whole new small server for a company I had just joined. (Their old beast with MS Exchange was old and fat and dying, with crashes and manual actions every day etc.) I had an expert do the initial install, and he wanted to compile it all in place, right there on this machine. OK well why not.

The FreeBSD server turned out to be a quiet workhorse that never complained about anything, and only about 3 or 4 years later we had the first occasion when a reboot was needed.

I guess you’re holding it wrong.

A user types at a terminal (a physical teletype). This terminal is connected through a pair of wires to a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter) on the computer.

Once I had the opportunity to sit at such a machine.

A real typewriter with real paper. And no display! Only paper.

I type my “command line” and it appears on my paper. Ok, where else…

The computer responds by letting it’s response appear - what do you think? - on my paper, too. Not by magic, but by my machine typing it.

I am typing to my paper. Then the computer is typing to my paper. And so on.

Hardly ever have I had such a creepy feeling while doing computer work 😵‍💫

This is not something that needs balance.

And they have quite different kinds of petty:

When Linus gets petty, then there’s a proper rant, somebody gets red in the face (but you don’t get to see the pics), and some news interns can write headlines.

When politicians get petty, then people in foreign countries are killed.

Then they should try to free themselves from it.

And governments should wise up and exempt them from any kind of petty stuff.

It is not good for the kernel and it’s team to suddenly have to kowtow to Usamerican politics.

My wife is still on Windows on her own laptop. But for watching TV, she has been using Linux successfully with an appropriate GUI (vdr, mythtv, Kodi, Androidtv…) for 15 years or so :)

There’s a lib/tool called exiftool iirc. It can be used from the commandline.

It’s also great to live in Switzerland, but not everybody is doing it.

Have you tried reading the manual?

However, the process would stop immediately when I logged in via SSH or console. As soon as I logged out, the malware would resume running within a few seconds

OK so you just need to stay logged in - Solved :)

How can i get it to work in these conditions?

Borrow an android phone from some friend/neighbor for an hour…

Either a defective RAM or a physically broken (bent) mainboard.

LOL It is one of the most well known things about perl that the language is as mighty as probably no other programming language.

Only 5 years ago, everybody would be singing and shouting “perl”.

Nowadays it is python that has taken this position (even though Perl is still there and can do so much more).

My company serves millions, too. We don’t have such needs.

two files in the same folder, one of them stored compressed on an array of HDDs in RAID10 and the other one stored on a different array […]

Now that’s what I call serious over-engineering.

Who in the world wants to use that?

And does that developer maybe have some spare time? /s

I am a huge fan of proxmox, since I first tried it out.

It does a little bit more than just VM’s.

On my home server, I have the proxmox distro running as the only service on bare metal, and then all other work is done in the VM’s.
