Thanks, I’ll try this. What speaks against this is that all my services turn unreachable, and those do not rely on ssh access. But still worth a try.

Oh no worries. I wrote this post with no expectations whatsoever since I myself have no clue about this.

I’ll make a note on checking power consumption, also when I am planning to buy the next drive, which won’t be for a while though. Until then I will just make sure to do regular backups.

Yes, disk is powered via USb. I had however a different disk before that was separately powered and I think I also ran into this issue.

Where would I see under voltage warnings? I kind of doubt this is it because for months everything is fine, this sounds like it would cause issues more regularly.

Nope, disk is far from full. Like 30% at the moment.

I think you might onto something with the filesystem. I am using Hd-idle to switch off the HDD when not in use. It was of course in use the entire time during this, but I noticed in the logs that it came up multiple times as “assuming disk spun up after long sleep” even though it hadn’t been off at all.

Only saw this after I made my post and I cannot make sense of it, but I have never seen this message otherwise, it only happened during this period of not being able to access the server.

I am not aware I have that installed/configured, not sure if this comes with a DietPi installation?

If we assume yes, how would I fix this?

The OS is on a SD card, the HDD is a spinning disc connected via USB and I actually never had any issues with its connectivity.

There are however issues sometimes if I connect a second drive, where I assume it does have something to do with not getting enough power for 2 external HDDs, but I only ever connect a second drive for backing up.

Don’t think this is connected, but if more people here feel like yes then I am happy to check in that direction.

It is running headless and I have no monitor and/or keyboard I could connect.

From my post. But also it sits in a shelf where anyway don’t have much space to put anything else. It also happens too rarely that it wouldn’t make sense to get specifically for this a display and keyboard in place.

Interesting. Not sure this is it, definitely didn’t feel a shock the last few times I handled the case during this. But thanks for sharing! I’ll keep it in mind.

From phone or laptop, doesn’t matter. The Pi is in my network via Wifi, well technically its connected to the router via cable but then everything else is connecting via Wifi through the router to the Pi. I have given the Pi a fixed IP.

Yeah this, 99% of the cases its permissions not being right.

Dockge hasn’t been updated in a while though. Does not matter for me since my setup only runs in local network but I am not sure how safe it is for online use.

Yeah same. I am really bad at keeping stuff updated so I rather keep it local too.

Damn, they released it for phones? I think you’ll need a controller for that though, cannot imagine on screen controls would be sufficient.

Got to say, Hyper Light Drifter, if you are into Zelda-like open world endtimes sword fighting.

What I loved most about it how the style just fit the game so well. Especially the sound design. One part of the game is finding those hidden “computerchips” in the ground and you get hints on where they are by listening to them humming softly in a rhythm. Then pulling them out of the ground makes a real satisfying sound effect.

The guns also mostly have really great sounds, shooting and reloading the laser sniper rifle felt awesome, but the best one is that tiny pistol you get beating this samurai boss.

Sorry, don’t recall the right names of things anymore, hopefully it is clear what I mean.

Quite surprised to haven’t seen it mentioned yet but…

Cowboy Bebop!

I just want couch-coop for this.

Dunno, you’re referring to your one downvote? I use Metube as well, works pretty well for me so far.
