Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey y'all! Recently my homeserver (an old laptop) has started crashing every night (after weeks of uptime just working), without anything useful in the logs. Any suggestion about what it might be? (Just started logging battery info to test tonight)

Seems you are using NixOS. Maybe you can try one of those fancy rollback features it has and see if that makes a difference?

worth a try (though somewhat useless given the number of shenanigans i've been changing constantly, lol, will be hard to find the correct commit)
