our linux port was done for other reasons and it needs to be maintained so it's not like we lost money on it but someone was like "why not release on steam on linux as well" and despite me saying "no don't that's gonna be a shitshow" we now we have negative press from gamers, bad steam reviews and our community manager got an extra special death threat

So, uh, anyone know what happens if you have set up a vm that is your real hard drive, and you are running Fedora and want to run an installed windows on another partition, but don't get to grub in your vm in time and accidentally start up Fedora, which you are currently running?

Which distro should I be using for this server after I tear down the server with the amazon distro? I'm on free tier because I'm using this for a two-semester software engineering class, and I wont really need it after May.

my linux adventures are probably better posted here instead of the programmer thread.

ok so using iptables to redirect requests from port 80 to my web application's port 5000 was a bad idea because that poo poo is really low level, and then i can't even debug the site with 'curl localhost' (???)

or i couldn't get it to work anyway

so i installed nginx and got it working in like 10 minutes!! seems pretty rad. is this ok for a minimal server config?

code:

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;
        # listen 443 ssl default_server;
        # listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;

        root /var/www/html;

        index index.html;

        server_name _;

        location / {
                proxy_pass [url]http://127.0.0.1:5000;[/url]
        }
}

debian btw.

also i removed the 'default' file under sites-enabled and put this server config into a new file called 'main'

pls don't hack my web server thx

Edit: bbcode added the dumb url tags

the kernel got s0i3 support in 4.13, so it does sleep and wake properly. i think the issue is that s0i3 does a lot of pretty flexible low-power and sleep mode for the various devices (where s3 just powers them all down entirely), and one or more of the linux drivers don't have the appropriate sleep mode implemented, the result being that it draws ~2W in sleep where it should be an order of magnitude less

hopefully either lenovo will get a legacy s3 toggle added to the bios (first i've heard of windows being upset by it) or the drivers will get improved, it is a very nice machine and this is really the biggest issue i see with it
