That is some crazy story right there. I do know for a fact that memtest needs multiple passes. But in my case the machine only has 1 stick of ram (used to have 2, one died). I will probably do a memtest overnight and get at you tomorrow.
That is some good info here. My HDD is totally fine (checked it very recently actually), as for the ram last time I checked was ok, but can check again to be sure
From what I see, kopia is for the desktop. Unless I didn't see something, it is not available for android, which is where more important to have backup in my case
Never tried unison or resilio can check. As for seafile, that is what I had before. At some point I realized I was getting several issues with desktop mostly, and the storage was only accessible from seafile wich in my case I am not OK with. Mostly was the inconsistencies between oses
I could try to do that, but I simply do not have reproducible steps that are certain to make the problem happen. I am a developer myself, and I absolutely despise when someone says 'hey, something random happened the other day. I cannot say what are the steps, but it is there' just to find out in the end nothing is there, or is simply not reproducible no matter what and for reasons that I might never find out
From what I tried, next cloud just has so much clutter that makes the syncing part a bit of a slog. If that was rock solid with OK speeds, that would be nice. But there is somich stuff with it that I don't care and tries to enforce (like users and user groups) that I find just too much
Had a pixel 8, and now a new pixel 9a. I think the problem is actually a bit messy. On my house I have several access points. There is a chance when syncthing is working, and I am going up or down, phone changes the access point. Syncthing possibly gets a ' oppsie, didn't finish that! Let's go for the next one' kind of issue. Of course, never looked into logs or anything so this is just pure speculation.
Usually the kind of corruption on the photos is the kind that beginning is always there, but at some point gets replaced with gray, hence my theory about the files.
That is actually a good question, in this case the HDD is totally fine. Thing is, the photos only get corrupted very rarely (probably 1 every 3000 or so, and only sometimes) and often photos that got transfered several times to the phone (usually the problem is in the phone. On the desktop never had that)
As for immich, I do know about of but seems to be a bit much for what I need (and only photos AFAIK)
Hope it stays that way. Nintendo is one of those companies that goes way too far to protect their IP, and to also go against their competitors ( I still didn't forget what they tried to pull off with palworld, absolutely bizarre stuff)
I also run stuff via steamos so I cannot tell much from your setup. However, maybe there is a trick that could potentially work. On the steamos, when you are on to desktopz it is possible to switch between desktop mode and gamepad mode controllers (not sure on exact naming here). You can do this by pressing for a second or two the upper right button from the front (I believe the legend is 3 stripes or similar).
On the steamos it changes modes and can help you unblock controls on weird situations.
This is also a good one. Do you notice any battery life changes after the tdp changes that are substantial? I never looked into it too much, but I assume there are very subtle ways to get a bit more battery without too much sacrifices
Thanks for pointing out. Usually I didn't fiddle with settings at all, much less with the steam deck ones, since usually things look good enough without much effort
That is something I can totally do after I figure out this syncthing thing. Probably will use Borg backup but same principle applies
