RaspberryPi becoming unresponsive at random intervals

Issue Description: I have been having this issue with my raspberry pi running dietPi where it seems to lock up and I cannot SSH / access any of the services on it. The interesting part is that the interface seems to be up and I can still ping it on the local network but shows no video output. usually I get about 3-6 days before...

v81,

Have had this issue myself asking with other DD card related issues.

I can’t understand why the pi foundation persist with using SD as the only physically practical storage option.

They’re looking post the point of needing a way to snap on reliable EMMC storage, as a default, in a way that doesn’t leave a cable or something permanently plugged into a USB port.

Sure, USB is a fine option, but I hate that it’s only an option and not a designed default.

Most of us only need 8GB or so for the OS, 8GB or good quality durable EMMC should hardly cost anything.

Other tiny computers and even economy notebooks and Chromebooks already use this.

The same reason there are 98 characters in your message.

edit… Incase you were serious… how else would you represent less than 1%?

v81,

Don’t know why I could not see this repply until today. It’s been ascertained that chirp is not in the repo for Raspian Linux, so indeed that option never worked.

v81,

I’m no bash wizard, but I grew up with computers through the 80’s and am comfortable with using a cli, doesn’t bother me at all.

My OP got messed up with the Lemmy app I’m using and thus a large chunk went missing.

I’m actually using Raspian on a raspberry pi, and I don’t think there is a binary for armhf available through the more typical means.

For everything else I just apt-get install xxx.

I’ll revisit later.

I appreciate the effort in your post.

v81,

My first attempt was apt-get install. I’m fairly comfortable with Linux as a server (basic lamp setup) though I make no claims if being an expert.

It’s clearly not in the default repos for Raspian (at least not when I tried), and that could be half my issue, my hardware while popular is not x86 or x86-64.

v81,

Neither do I. If the errors made sense or the tutorials were more current I suspect I’d have no issue.

v81,

Great, you can accomplish the bare essentials with Linux.

Now how do I install a program called chirp for programming 2 way radios?

Searched for a week and gave up as each set of instructions lead down a broken, redundant dependency rabbit hole with no solution in sight, Flatpack this, snap that, no explanation or even a searchable clue that could begin me a solution.

In windows I just unzip the nightly build to a directory of my choice, run the executable and it works.

Sure… Not everyone knows or needs to know about these edge case applications, but point stands, it works in windows, and everyone encounters an edge case sooner or later.

I’m keen to ditch the Microsoft hole, and I have no issue with making an effort to learn, but I can’t afford to or my life in hold for hours or days at a time in order to accomplish things that already work in seconds.

I think my simple issue here is… I’m not incompetent. I can comfortably navigate a fine system in a shell, can mount and unmount, can tar -xvzf a tarball, can do most things up to writing a shell script from scratch (could cobble something

v81,

Second reply here. I didn’t get it either. Is it really a meme if no-one knows it?

v81,

I agree with all but hand crank drills. If you own a battery drill it’s probably stored with it’s battery and with keyless chucks (that don’t work on a hand crank drill) getting a battery drill ready for work is faster than a hand crank, and it will do the job faster too.

v81,

Don’t worry about getting anything wrong. Most people are pretty excited to speak with someone new or that doesn’t come on air often.

We’re all just normal people, done of use are even a little introverted.

Just say what’s on your mind.

“Hi, I’m Joe, happy to be speaking with you, in kinda new to this and am a bit nervous. Anyhow how are you and where are you from?”

Chances are that will spawn a conversation that feels less forced and more natural as you move forward.

I’ve messaged you my email address. Never private messaged on Lemmy before so I hope it works. Just say hello and we can maybe catch up on echolink or discord.

v81,

Anything we can do to help with that? I’m a little mic shy myself, but it goes away as soon as a good topic starts being talked about.

You got access to Dstar/DMR or some other way of communicating internationally? I’m in VK3

v81,

The process varies from country to country. Let me know where you’re from and I’ll try to point you in the right direction.

v81,

Amateur radio (Ham radio)

v81, (edited )

Sure, give it a go. The bands and the learning you get access to as a ham are a valuable tool.

But don’t be that kind that gets a licence just for ‘prepping’.

Having the gear without being proficient in it’s use or having someone to talk to is pretty useless.

v81,

Run? WTF you on about? Dead men can’t run and no one is surviving that dish.

v81,

Do not search for this.

Glass is glass, and glass breaks.

There's a new RMTransit (@RM_Transit) video up about high-speed rail from Melbourne to Sydney.

It's definitely worth checking out. Reece makes the case that more overnight sleeper services and electrification are an important first step: https://youtu.be/IMUcV_nxsWY?si=8reQjPjsrwVTcecx

My two cents on the topic is that HSR from Melbourne to Sydney should implemented as a series of incremental upgrades, rather than a single megaproject.

Between the 1970s and 2010s, the Hume Highway between Melbourne and Sydney was incrementally upgraded to a freeway-standard continuous dual carriageway road: https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/operations/roads-and-waterways/environment-and-heritage/heritage/hume-highway-duplication/history

It wasn't done as single megaproject. Instead, it was done in small segments. A bypass around a town. A section of road between two town upgraded to dual carriageway. Eventually, over 40 years, the whole road was upgraded.

We should be doing the same thing with the train line from Melbourne to Sydney.

Not as a multi-billion-dollar megaproject, but as a series of discrete projects to upgrade sections of track to electrified HSR standard: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/feb/24/start-building-now-to-fulfil-sydney-melbourne-high-speed-rail-ambition-labor-urged

That means faster train journeys from Melbourne to Sydney today, with full HSR rolled out incrementally over the longer term.

v81,

Very rarely do I have a positive view on posts in this com, but this is a rare exception.

No mindless, pointless, circle jerk hating, but rather a positive and legitimate wish and view toward an alternative.

People can hate on cars so they want, but since people and places end up making cars nesecary.

Earlier this year I needed to go Melbourne to Albury, usually a trip done in a car, but this time I had use of a car at the other end so I took the train. Was a fantastic trip. Access to a small food bar, toilets, the occasional stop at more significant towns.

Trains kick ass.

I’d love to see a better in town solution for transport, buses and whatever both in Albury and my home town aren’t really up to scratch yet.

v81,

Sounds like she’s rarely out never noticed you use it either… Which makes it interesting both because of the uncommon UI and workflow, and she has not had regular observations to learn from.

For those of us that have operated both it’s a non issue.

But think of how you’d go about it with zero knowledge. I bet most would try dialling the number without lifting the receiver.

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

v81,

I think this is the best take. This alone if it went nowhere is fairly harmless.

But I think we know what it really is, is the start of a slippery slope.

v81,

raiding it’s territory and kills and kidnaps a number of it’s citizen.

As Israel has done to Palistinians already for years?

But that just gets swept under the carpet when Israel does it.

Israels actions standing over the Palestine should have had them classed as terrorists long ago.

Hamas is no better though, leaving 2 terrorist organisations fighting while innocents suffer.
