  • Turns out this is normal. OpenZFS is released under a different license that is not compatible with the GPL. As a result, ZFS modules are always considered out of tree/proprietary and will taint the kernel.

    It also turns out that having a tainted kernel isn’t always a bad thing or a problem. Essentially using any proprietary software that loads kernel modules (Broadcom or Nvidia for example) means you’ve got a tainted kernel.

    So while txg_sync hanging is also coincidentally an OpenZFS process, the ZFS modules tainting the kernel are not causing the hang, and txg_sync hanging is not the cause of the kernel being tainted.

  • After some reading and learning, I’ve gotten this output, which appears to indicate that the tainted modules are all zfs modules.

    I’m still reading, and honestly, not sure what to do with this information at this point.

  • What’s frustratingly awful about this is that US Senators and Representatives become millionaires doing exactly this, and the SEC doesn’t even blink.

    Did he break the law? Yes. Is the SEC a joke and the law used to punish and oppress the proletariat, also yes.

  • Thank you! I just learned about setting git’s default editor a couple weeks ago when I started learning git. I didn’t realize you could set a global default. When I think about it, it makes perfect sense, but I don’t know what I don’t know, and now I know!

  • I will do that. Right now I’ve got a decently solid local backup, and a so-so off site backup (right now my offsite is a hard drive I keep in my locker at work that I bring home once a week and update).

    I’ve heard about borgbackup, but haven’t looked at it, as rsync has seemed to be sufficient for my needs, but I’ve made myself a note to look into it.

  • Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying them. I used to be a lurker on that other site, but never posted anything because it always seemed so intimidating. When the great migration happened, I came over here and have found it much more welcoming.

  • I created an account on lemmy.world awhile ago, and had been using that as my primary lemmy account, but lately, I can’t post, comment, save posts, or up/downvote from that lemmy.world account.

    As a result I decided to try creating an account on lemmy.ml (since I’m most active here on !linux@lemmy.ml) and see if I would be able to post/comment/etc…

    As of so far, everything works from lemmy.ml, while my lemmy.world account still can’t interact with posts.

  • Thank you! I haven’t touched aws, though I do have a vps that I also tinker with from time to time. Right now I’m looking at wireguard tunnels and trying to figure out how to set up and use those. It’s not absolutely necessary as I’ve got a reverse proxy (NGINX Proxy Manager) on my server, but it’s something I’m interested in.
