I have a server running Debian 12. It seems to hang up and freeze sometime between 12 hours and like 2-3 days. I really want to see what's happening, but I can't access my containers with the web UIs, can SSH, and adding a monitor shows the DE completely frozen. Rebooting fixes it for a while, but it locks up again after some time.

I had the same issue with 10 year old hardware so I threw together a "new" machine with some spare parts and it still happens I also tried rocky Linux and the same thing happened on both machines.

Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking to upgrade drives on two of my machines. My server running ubuntu has a 3.5" and will be getting a larger capacity HDD, while my personal computer running endeavor OS will be going from a 2.5" ssd to an nvme drive. (Not sure if it helps giving the drive types, but can't hurt).

I'm fine with a clean install and reinstalling everything, but to save some time I'd of course like to minimize the effort that goes into it (importing settings etc). Any tips/tricks for either? Thanks in advance

Do you include things like particle board, MDF, plywood etc? Is there a line? And if so, what is it for you?

I'm looking for a better, more private solution to an intercom I have between the house and my barn. I have Ethernet run out there, and I currently use the "drop-in" feature on some Amazon echo devices. I'm looking to get away from the Amazon devices entirely (maybe implementing the pine speaker they announced?)

I don't have a lot of requirements, though VoIP would be preferred over a radio style, since it's a metal barn and blocks a lot of signals. I'm good with some self hosted solution, and ideally there's a dedicated device, as I don't want to use my phone or computer for it all the time. I'm probably missing some obvious solution, but figured I'd try to get some ideas together.

Thoughts?
