My 2025 high-end Linux PC 🐧
2 months ago
- The build uses an Intel 285K CPU for low idle power, a 4TB SSD for ample storage, and an Nvidia graphics card for an 8K monitor.
- The Fractal Define 7 Compact case is preferred for its quietness, safety, easy component access, and cable management.
- The Corsair RM850x power supply was chosen for compatibility with future high-power GPUs and its flexible cables.
- A PCIe 4 SSD (Samsung 990 Pro) was selected over PCIe 5 due to lower power consumption, with random transfers prioritized.
- The mainboard's Realtek 2.5GbE network card requires a recent Linux kernel (6.13+) for full support, but works well in practice.
- Intel CPUs were favored over AMD for lower idle power (e.g., 35W vs. 3x more), crucial for the author's software development workload.
- Nvidia GPUs idle at ~20W, significantly less than AMD's ~45W, reducing heat and noise, essential for a quiet, cool workspace.
- Installing required UEFI firmware updates and kernel upgrades to support new hardware, with careful TRIM configuration for SSD longevity.
- Performance improved notably over the previous build, with tasks like Linux kernel compilation running about a minute faster.
- A faulty CPU caused months of instability; after RMA replacement, stress testing (Prime95, kernel compilation) confirmed stability.
- The RMA process took over a month, highlighting the importance of extensive stress testing for new builds.
- The final build is quiet, power-efficient, and powerful, running Linux without issues, with suspend-to-RAM working reliably.

GitHub suddenly rejected my SSH key (the fix was a .pub file?)
2 months ago
- Git pull stopped working on a laptop with an SSH key that was previously fine, while the same key worked on other devices.
- The private key was valid, using a modern signature algorithm, and SSH config was correct; GitHub status was green.
- The fix was simply generating a missing .pub file from the private key using `ssh-keygen -y -f <key> > <key>.pub`.
- A 12-trial test confirmed that the .pub file is required: without it, authentication is rejected; with it, it works.
- The .pub file changes OpenSSH's authentication flow: with it, the client probes the server before signing; without it, it sends a direct signed request.
- Both flows are valid per RFC 4252, but GitHub seems to now reject the direct signed request, possibly due to new server software (identified by banner '6a2c000').
- The author suggests that GitHub's SSH frontend changed, causing the issue, and recommends ensuring that all private keys have corresponding .pub files.
"Disk Not Ejected Properly": What It Means
2 months ago
- The 'Disk Not Ejected Properly' alert on macOS indicates the system unexpectedly lost communication with a storage device, either due to physical disconnection or a communication failure while the device remained attached.
- Mounting a disk involves IOKit managing hardware, DiskArbitration handling volume mounting, and filesystem drivers preparing the volume; unmounting gracefully only removes the mount point, while ejection discards all IOKit device objects.
- Repeated alerts often stem from hardware issues like faulty cables, USB ports, or hubs, or from firmware crashes in the storage device itself, which may be resolved by erasing or replacing the drive.
- While occasional alerts are generally harmless, frequent occurrences can risk data corruption if writes are interrupted, especially during backups, and should be investigated to ensure reliable storage.
