I am going insane here.

AMDs recent driver seems to have permanently damaged my card or something.

It randomly hard reboots my PC. I can play hours upon hours of games, no issue, but I want to watch a youtube video? No. Crash

I leave my PC on for days, fine. I turn it on, leave it at the desktop to make some lunch, 10 mins later I come back to my PC rebooted.

Adrenaline just uninstalls itself and when I run the install, it tells me the driver needs repair. When you repair it, it crashes.

Event viewer gives me The AMDRyzenMasterDriverV31 service failed to start due to the following error: the system cannot find the file specified

I have tried safe mode, but that doesnt work, and I can't update the driver or roll it back, because It crashes my card.

I need some help with this

I have come in to a bit of an conundrum of sorts.

I used to use a reverse proxy for all my services and have an NGINX docker container running on my NAS. It was good, and I used cloudflare to proxy the incoming traffic. I own two domains and one of them was my home domain.

I got a bit scared off of reverse proxies as I didnt understand them all that well and convinced myself I was exposing myself. As I was the only one using it in my household, I switched to wireguard and never looked back. My NGINX container is still up, just not exposed and I have a static IP that I pay for.

Fast forward to now, my brother wants to use my Jellyfin server, which I am happy to do, but he wont get the wireguard client as he uses his own VPN. I wont fight it as I am just happy he is taking an interest in what I do.

My question is, if I wanted to get back in to reverse proxy for some of my, less critical, services, is using NGINX a good idea? How can I be safe? I am on a network engineer course, so throw technical jargon at me if needed. Am i also right in remembering that NGINX will handle certificates?

I appreciate any help

Music plays a massive part in my life, and I have migrated my library over to Jellyfin, which I am still getting used to, as I am used to Winamp, but I like that it is my own personal Spotify when using the mobile client.

One thing I am struggling with, is streaming it to my HiFi or audio system around the house. The DLNA plugin is basically dead, and I don't think its ever going to get fixed, my older streamer relies on a very janky system and I have to control it using the controller, where as before, I could use Jellyfin as the caster and remote.

My question is, what do you stream your jellyfin music library to and how?

This might be suited for a different sub, but I wanted to reach out to other tourists and travellers, even locals that travel, to see if there is a big of a push when it comes to film.

I am going to phuket and bangkok in february and I wanted to take my Film camera with me for some photography. Its something I always wanted to do but I end up going digital on account of airport scanners ruining film. Then it occurred to me that it might be possible to do this locally, I.E, buy the film and develop locally.

Is this a thing in thailand? Or has film not made the comeback over there as it has in the west?

I just received several password resets for two of my social media accounts. I still have access and changed my password but is this just a case of someone scraping sites with my email or do you think my email has been compromised as well?

I use 2FA on my emails and nothing has cropped up. One of my social media account uses 2FA and I got a text, which is how I knew they were legit.

I am trying to cut down on my internet account usage, basically removing what I can from places other than what I use. Is there a service that can do that? Find old accounts and request deletions?

I have started having an issue with the X button when using tools. I can be using them fine, then charge them and nothing happens. The tools then dont work in a certain area.

For example, if I long press X, and nothing happens, I cant then destroy rocks in a certain area, almost as if the charge radius is blocking me. If I move to another area of the mine or change floors, it fixes itself until I use the tool it happens with again. You cant use any tools in that area either.

I have checked the controls in the calibration tool and they all work fine.

Has anyone else had this bug or is it an issue with the deck?

I have been delving in to collecting physical releases of pretty much everything I watch. Anime is no exception.

I am having trouble tracking anime I want on bluray or DVD and I miss release windows or don't know who is releasing what. I used to use tabs on my browser until they limited it to 99 and they got lost and I forgot. I also tried MAL but Its really not designed for it. I also don't stream anime unless absolutely needed so I rely on new releases to catch me up, but I don't know how to track who releases what and when, or if they are even getting a release.

Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? I thought about an excel spreadsheet but I worry I won't keep it on track.

I have wanted a Sword Cutlass M9 for a long time, and I finally have a UKARA, but the only site that still sells one is KYAIRSOFT in Hong Kong.

As far as I know, I have to provide my UKARA number and others have said its best if its on the box as well. Is there anything else that needs to be done or does anyone else have a similar experience?

I have a 7800xt graphics card and since the latest driver update, it just crashes my PC. No blue screen, just a black screen and then soft reboot.

I have tried to update or rollback the card but any time an installation is done, it does the same thing.

I see errors in event viewer like AMDryzenmasterdriver31 service failed due to the following error and its "system cannot find the path specified"

I also see "device dissociation failed" as well. When I try to run a fresh install of Adrenelin, it identifies my card as needing repair, but then it crashes the same as it did again.

Does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT:

I may have cracked it.

1. Boot in to safe mode with networking.
2. Download Adrenaline.
3. Install it over the top of whats already there and choose Factory Reset when you get to the first section. It should also say Repair under your graphics driver bit
4. Let it go through the motions and then reboot.

Mine has now been solid for nearly an hour and I have managed to get a game of BF6 and Cities Skylines 2 in with no issues.

Im looking at switching to Linux but the build I am going for will be in an older case, basically a sleeper.

I have been binging old shows like twin peaks, xfiles and early shows that feature computers from the 90s with non descript, basic, early OS systems.

Does there exist a distro that has that look but is basically a modern OS? I don't mind ones that look like 95 or 98 though.

Edit: Thanks for the help, it seems I got the wrong end of the stick. Its not the distro I am after but a desktop environment. Thank you for the answers explaining this
