Anybody know of a vendor that has dual socket Ice Lake server motherboards available? I can find uniprocessor ones without much trouble, but dual socket ones are in much shorter supply.

It's not *that* old a platform, there should still be some floating around...

EDIT: US based if at all possible to avoid import duties etc

Wife is on the phone with grandma.

Kid (in the middle of breakfast) runs over, yells "peepee poopoo star wars panties I love you" then goes back for another bite.

A minute later she runs back and does it again

Hey @GyrosGeier any idea why nvidia-kernel-dkms (on trixie at least) does not depend on linux-headers-$arch?

The end result of installing it without kernel headers is that the driver doesn't work, because it can't compile without the headers. I can't think of any situation in which this is a desirable state

VM recovery is almost done.

I lost my snapshots but didn't have too many of those so it's not worth the effort to try and get them back.

All of the important VMs seem to be fine (26 so far) and are back up and running. I haven't checked which snapshot the CI runner VMs are at yet but they're all booted and I can log into them so if I need to reconfigure the GPU driver or something to get working Vulkan that's not a big deal.

I haven't attempted to recover most of the Windows VMs yet. There's a lot of stale junk left over from earlier CI experiments so it might take a little while to figure out which image is which, but none of them are irreplaceable worst case.

Will definitely be adding the XAPI database to my backups in the future.

On the plus side the replacement DIMM is installed and happy so I have the full 512GB of RAM.

Hmm, seems I may not have lost chat history. I misunderstood which partitions i had on the second disk, it's mounted at /mnt/bulk and seems to not be affecting home.

I might just have to reinstall some software if I can't recover it.

21 VMs recovered, everything important except the messaging VM. If I can't recover the /home disk I'll lose some chat history but that's not the end of the world. I'm not sure what's going on there I've gone through what I think is all of the disks and none of them seem to be it.

And then the CI runner VMs seem to have issues related to snapshots that I'm still chasing, but those aren't going to be that hard to recreate if I have to.

Haven't touched any of the Windows boxen yet.
