Corrupted data anyone?

[wirednuts]

in the last two days, both my android phone and my xbian raspberry pi both froze up due to corrupted data. had to reformat and restore. working fine now

anyone else experiencing weird stuff? solar flares hitting my house?

Sounds like a coincidence.

 

[Mixolydian]

Aliens.

Sounds like a coincidence.

first time either of them have done it though... had the pi for a few months and the phone for about 8.

im going to go with russian hackers that want to see me naked

Do you see any black helicopters outside your house?

Also - if you should suddenly disappear can I have your stuff?

My servers share their firewall data across an encrypted channel. The key for the channel is X characters long, specified in a config file on both machines. I looked at the log files earlier today and noticed one of them said "Server A (IP Address) is talking nonsense." Checked the other machine's log file and it too said "Server B (IP Address) is talking nonsense." I checked the config file, and for some odd reason Server A's key was truncated to about 10 characters long. 😕

ok, two is a coincidence, three is a conspiracy. so we conclude aliens in space are redirecting solar flares onto the united states.

i just wanted to know..

How are you liking the RPi as an xbmc box? Do you use a remote?

 

[wirednuts]

i use a droid x2 that i keep on the corner table. its my skype house phone, and its my remote for my pi.

i freakin love it. for music, i dont think there is anything better, at any cost! it is an absolutely fantastic music player. i love how i never shut it off either.. just my amplifier. the music just keeps going... i usually stream radio stations so this is great to not have to wait for it to boot up or load a playlist. turn on, instant audio.

i havent got around to live tv yet though. i really want to do that... because all of the mkv movies i have are 6gb or less in size, which the pi can handle... so really i should be able to watch everything i have.

Crap SD cards? Using EXT2 for speed with the RPi? Same [bad] USB power source?

In one of the many ticketing systems we have to use at work, one of them actually has a category of "solar flares" as the cause of a problem when closing a ticket. LOL

What's your humidity set at? Maybe it's ESD? Though that does not just happen out of nowhere, but on contact, so it's odd they would just fry if they're sitting somewhere. 1, it happens, 2, coincidence, 3, then I'd start to worry more. 😛

My Dish Network feed has been flaky lately, could be the solar flare thing...

 

[lxskllr]

I'm on the outer edge of my router's range, and I get uneven performance. I haven't been able to pin it down to anything in particular. Every hypothesis has been dis-proven except for solar activity. Some time I might get motivated to track the sun, and see if I can pin it to the wireless acting up.

sandisk ultra 4gb class 4 card... and no ext2 but i DID have that enabled on my sensation phone. i disabled it now of course, because having your phone brick itself is just not that much fun.

Must be the solar flares, then 🙂.

I bought my wife a Nexus 7 for X-mas, it's infected with a virus, I know this because her tablet sends me spam emails that link to infected sites, I think malware writers are starting to focus on smartphones and tablets more than people realize these days..

Umm maybe her e-mail got hijacked? Probably not a virus

Every USB thumb drive I've ever owned. Regardless of price/capacity/brand.

She has anti-virus on it, my brother has the same problem, something harvests his email addy contacts and sends out spam, I've already told him that a lot of porn sites are loaded with crap and if you just Google for porn your asking for issues..

actually, if you bing for porn you will find you can watch a ton of it right off their servers and not have to visit the sites...
