  • my solution to this is to only deal with the UPS in proxmox. it shuts down everything if the battery goes below a certain level.

    I think you can configure nut to run a few scripts when something changes around the UPS. you could have a script that sends an alert through ntfy, and/or the web services that you want to use for this, but I’m not familiar with the notification system of nextcloud and truenas


  • it is a big deal. it fucks up even the remaining time estimation, but while the OS sees that write speed dropped to 0, the stick has literally frozen, it cannot even be read, or the directories browsed. I attribute this to crappy controllers inside the sticks, but of course I can’t actually know what’s at fault.

    I don’t think it’s about the speed of my PC. My PC was at most mid range when I built it ~4 years ago. and if I plug in a 10+ years old 2 GB flash drive (and other sizes, there’s still a few around), it won’t do that, instead it’ll have a slow but steady write speed, still being readable while I copy to it.

    on windows a process can get in a state so that it is impossible to make it go away, even with process explorer or process hacker. mostly this also involves the bugged software becoming unusable.

    I encounter such a situation from time to time. one way it could happen is if the USB controller has got in an invalid state, which one of my pendrives can semi-reliably reproduce. when that happens, any process attempting to deal with that device or its FS, even the built-in program to remove the drive letter, will stop working and hang as an unkillable process.
