I want my phone to be more like a computer and install what I want on it. But, I recognize the walled App Stores has maybe protected the common folks from turning our cellular network into a large, out of control, botnet.

With that said, I recognize computers exist. I guess I just hope it’s done with thought and care.

All of my TVs have never seen an internet connection. I know the Apple hate is strong, but I’ve been throwing ATVs behind them since they were first released. No ads, no BS. Just a very clean experience that has never changed. I couldn’t imagine thinking putting a Google device from the largest advertising company on the planet would be some kind of upgrade.

prometheus and grafana … seems to be the universally accepted solution for self-hosted monitoring

Not exactly. There are many ways to do this. Most of us just use this solution because its easily scalable, highly documented and what we are probably already doing currently at work.

all built into one container

It’s nice to separate data sources from the dashboards and alerting platforms. It’s scalable and extremely light weight and gives you more options.

On top of prometheus not seeming useful on its own …

Yeah, that’s just not always true. Maybe for you, in your use case.

Installing a Prometheus node exporter gives you an easily accessible end point with JSON data that can be used however you like. Modularity is a good thing. Being able to swap parts in and out with other parts is a good thing.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, there is not an exact correct answer here, use what fits your needs. While I have a dash board setup in grafana, it’s not my main use case. Since the data is available from all the node-exporters on all my hardware, I wrote up my own alerting scripts and automations using python.

That’s the beauty of modularity and standards when self hosting.

Thanks for the response. As I said, I’m aware RMA they just announced, current mitigations, bios updates and using Prime95 to test stability. I’m not seeing crashes with Prime95 since tweaking and eventually installing the latest ASUS bios with included microcode update. I have seen a crash in PrusaSlicer on occasion. Which is making me wonder.

Anyway, I was trying to understand if there’s an official test, software or process to determine if damage has occurred.

It seems there’s not.

Is there an official way to test your CPU if it’s damaged? Months ago I noticed issues when running Prime95 and found chatter on how to tweak the bios to improve stability. I’ve also been updating my bios and keeping an eye on their support page.

What I’m getting at is that I’m not sure if it was damaged. I have noticed an issue here or there random and not often, but I’m always going to wonder if my chip is bad or just normal bugs that occur time to time.

What Is Kiwix?

Kiwix is a non-profit organization and a free and open-source software project dedicated to providing offline access to free educational content. The name “Kiwix” is a play on the word “Wiki” as it represented our initial goal of making Wikipedia accessible offline.

I found this for standing it up:

It wasn’t exactly hiding. Completely accessible from their git repo. Also a link on their website. One of the first results when searching Google.

https://docs.linkwarden.app/self-hosting/installation

selfhost it on my desktop pc (windows) that will keep it updated and working without having to mess with it or do a bunch of command line stuff

You’re on a self-hosting community. If you want to self host, you might have to learn a little something new.

I haven’t read their documentation, but you’re also going to have to make sure you setup your router properly if you want to access it outside your home.
