Unable to get IP address via DHCP on HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 with Debian

I'm having trouble getting an IP address via DHCP on my HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server running Debian. I've tried various troubleshooting steps, but nothing seems to work. **Error messages:** * "No DHCPOFFERS received" * "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping" * "Activation of network connection failed" (GNOME) * "IP configuration unavailable" (Plasma) **Hardware:** * HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server **Software:** * Debian operating system * GNOME and Plasma desktop environments **Troubleshooting steps:** * Checked network cable and ensured it's properly connected * Restarted network service * Set /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf managed=true **Additional information:** * Internet worked during the Debian installation process, but not after booting into the installed system. * The problem occurs on both GNOME and Plasma desktop environments, but Plasma provides a slightly more helpful error message. I'd appreciate any help or guidance on resolving this issue. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with DHCP on a HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server with Debian?

Suggestion for Android device for archival purposes?

I need an Android device for archival purposes, it has several requirements and I would appreciate any suggestions. I've done some research myself, but I would appreciate it maybe you know of something I haven't discovered. Requirements: - Must fit inside [this Faraday pouch](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08X63PDJT/), or a different one that is of a similar price, and is both water and fire proof - Must support an open OS (Degoogled, rooted Android ROM or Linux - both support touch interfaces, Kiwix, and storing and viewing files) - at least 256GB internal storage to store the files - at least 8GB RAM for running local AI models, preferably nearer 16GB - Good battery life, since it will stay inside the pouch most of the time and I don't want to have to take it out to charge it every day - As cheap as possible I have no other requirements, it doesn't even have to have a camera, let alone a good one. Thanks for all your help!

Motorola Update neuters Syncthing

Android 14, an update released on 22 June under no more description than 'security update' has stopped syncthing being able to write to folders, even the few it allowed me to previously specifically grant access to. I can't add a folder to sync, as it says 'your android version hasn't granted syncthing write access, this folder is locked to read only' and then doesn't even add it. My specific model, moto g73 doesn't support root or custom ROMs, which I wasn't aware of when I got it, but I have it now and apart from that it's a really good phone, so I hope there is some way to rescue this. I should have the option to decline their 'security', even if it is buried under many layers of settings, and grant the apps storage permission anyway. Otherwise it is not security, it is them stealing ownership of my device from me. It should absolutely be Motorola's onus to fix this, not the hardworking Syncthing team, but if you do know some way to get this working again, I would be grateful. EDIT: Oh, by the way, this update also stopped every file manager app I had, of which I had three, one being the native Android file manager itself, working properly. Edit2: This only seems to apply to the micro SD card storage, not internal storage. Unfortunately, I've filled up my internal storage and need to use my micro SD card. I _was_ using Syncthing as a backup, so I had a copy in case the micro SD card corrupted everything.

What would you do if you were on an underground train, when suddenly the train shook, you passed through a portal, and the next thing you knew your carriage was lying in an unknown new world?

Edit: apparently this is a very common form of Japanese storytelling called an isekai. There are 8 billion people in this world, no idea can be original. And sometimes you miss out on things many other people know. [I'm clearly one of today's lucky 10000.](https://xkcd.com/1053/)

Lighting and quest paths mods?

Coming to Skyrim from The Witcher 3, and two things I really feel the absence of is realictic lighting that makes the whole world look flat and boring, and hard to look at for too long, and that quest markers show you the direction of the quest, but not the path to get there on the minimap. What mods that work well with playing on Linux through Proton do you recommend (and how to install them)?

The Witcher JackGreenEarth • 6mo ago • 55%

Why does this game have to be so infuriating?

This is outrageous! I was replaying The Witcher 3, and when I got to the A Hallowed Horn quest, I remembered that last time, Mithias got annoyed at me for killing the thieves. So this time, when I got to the thieves, and already knew that the horn was in a chest, rather than any of the thieves inventories, so I didn't actually have to kill them, I took care to *not* kill any of the thieves, while still retrieving the horn - which was a difficult job, as I couldn't loot the chest while the thieves were nearby, so I had to lure the thieves away from the chest, then circle back, and in the extremely narrow time window between when the battle music stops, and when the thieves return to the chest - as they start to return immediately once the battle music stops, loot the chest - made even more difficult by the game's janky input mechanics, where it seems to treat all inputs as a queue (moving, pressing 'e' to loot, etc), so I had to make sure not to queue up too much movement so I could quickly loot the chest before the thieves returned - anyway, I did it, after a lot of effort and time, and the cheek! Geralt still said that he killed the thieves when talking to Mithias, as if all that effort to not harm a single hair on their heads was for nothing!

If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be?

They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they *are*, rather than can *do*, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons. You can take them out at any time in the story's plot, but for all other people consuming the media, it will be shown that the character suddenly disappears, with the rest of the plot being affected accordingly. People will notice this happening. The character is not under any sort of control by you once you have taken them out of the story, although they will appear next to you to start with.

What does your desktop look like?

Here's mine. No inspiration at all taken from a certain California based company's OS ;p I use: - Manjaro OS - GNOME desktop - WhiteSur icon theme (with a few icons changed in the desktop file) - WhiteSur GTK and shell theme - Bing wallpaper - net speed simplified - Logo Menu - Show Desktop - Top Bar Organiser (to move the time to the right) - Overview background I apologise if I missed anything.

Great, the worst of both worlds.

I can't root my phone because I don't have an image for it (Moto G73) although I'd like to, but for some reason my banking app thinks it's rooted and refuses to work. This happened just after I updated it, it wasn't happening before. Edit: I'm regretting not getting the Motorola Edge 40 Neo, which also costs £250, but is slightly better in multiple ways, and seems like it has better root support.

What game do you recommend someone who likes the mechanics but not the setting of Baldur's Gate 3?

I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I'd check out a let's play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn't enjoy playing a game with that whole brain horror thing going on. Not to mention the price and storage requirements being excessive. (150GB!) So, bearing in mind that, is there a game that would match my criteria, and if not, what do you think comes closest?

Can you help me with my JavaScript issue?

Intended output: { children: { Display: { children: { ... value: 2 } } } } Real output: { children: {}, Display: {}, ... value: 2 } ``` Code: // Load default settings let defaultSettings; load("/assets/json/default-settings.json", 'json', function(defset) { defaultSettings = defset; // Create custom settings if(!Object.keys(localStorage).includes('settings')) { setLs('settings', JSON.stringify({})); }; customiseSetting('Display/UI/Distance', 2) }); function settingURL(url) { return('children/' + url.split('/').join('/children/') + '/value'); } function customiseSetting(url, value) { url = settingURL(url); // Split the string by '/' and use reduce to access the nested properties const newSettings = url.split('/').reduce(function(accumulator, val, index, array) { // If the object does not have the current component as a property, create an empty object for it // If the current component is the last one, assign the value if (index == array.length - 1) { accumulator[val] = value; } else if (!accumulator.hasOwnProperty(val)) { accumulator[val] = {}; // update the accumulator object } log([accumulator, val, index, array]) // Return the updated object return(accumulator); }, JSON.parse(ls('settings'))); log(newSettings); setLs('settings', JSON.stringify(newSettings)); } ``` I've been trying unsuccessfully for several days to fix to what must be a simple error. I've looked over it myself, but I can't find the cause of the bug. I asked Bing, which usually helps, but it was unhelpful. So I'm sorry to be bothering you, but if you could help me solve this problem, I would really appreciate it. EDIT: I fixed my code by using a recursive function as follows: function customiseSetting(url, value) { url = settingURL(url).split('/'); let newSettings; function recursiveSet(object, list, index, setTo) { // If the current component is the last one, assign the value if(index == list.length - 1) { object[list[index]] = setTo; return(object); } else { // Check if it already contains the value if(object.hasOwnProperty(list[index])) { object[list[index]] = recursiveSet(object[list[index]], list, index + 1, setTo); } else { object[list[index]] = recursiveSet({}, list, index + 1, setTo); } return(object); } }; newSettings = recursiveSet(JSON.parse(ls('settings')), url, 0, value); log(newSettings); setLs('settings', JSON.stringify(newSettings)); }
