Agreed. And I'd say the mobo is more likely, as it has more different components like capacitors and whatnot. So just by volume.

As a final test you could rip out RAM, GPU etc disconnect all unnecessary cables and run just mobo + CPU + PSU. See if it beeps/lights up or changes anything. That'll rule out a short in some other component being the issue.

I mean we're not 100% sure, but looks like you're in for a new mobo (+CPU).

Yeah, everyone wants some drugs. The girls, the police, ...

These lights and beep sequences aren't 100% reliable. So I wouln't take it for granted. But it's a bit suspicious in my eyes that none of the LEDs light up. Maybe it's the PSU, then? I mean it could be anything. And in my experiences it's most likely a cable that got unseated accidentally by the vacuum... But you mentioned it's a server... And I've had PSUs fail after being online 24/7 for years, and then one day you turn off the power and they won't ever come back. And with the bent CPU pins I'm not sure. Most of the times straightening them works, but sometimes they break off after doing that.

These kinds of diagnostics are next to impossible without some spare parts, to swap one at a time and see which is at fault. If you don't figure it out by chance, you'd need to borrow some.

No need to make up a reason. The modlog clearly states one, and it's the latter. I mean, feel free to host your own instance or community if you don't like the atmosphere.

The Lemmy post got deleted, though.

Yes, good video. And I think this is stupid. I mean we don't have a lack of money in the field of AI. On contrary, that gets bombarded by money. And if they want to grow some healthy and sustainable AI... That could be fostered by good regulations. And the EU kind of screws up with that, currently. All the while we have lots of different problems in the Free Software world, regarding funding. And free platforms are to the benefit of everyone. They also strengthen freedom, democracy, ... AI will just burn that money. And the EU foil everything by simultaneously not coming up with proper (and timely) regulations. (My opinion)

I think we're affected, too. Since Lemmy is in part funded by NLNet, which is part of(?) NGI: https://ngi.eu/funded_solution/lemmy/

I think mainly because Discord doesn't align with the values of Lemmy users at all. I guess most of them are here because they don't like those kinds of platforms, otherwise they'd be on Reddit or someplace else, not here. And additionally it seems your only post/contribution here is advertising for a competing group/community. That's self-promoting, advertising for a place that trades pirated content and probably in violation of Rule 2 of this community.

I meant 'online discussion platform'. (Or 'internet communications platform' if you like.) But I fail to see the big difference here, considering what we're talking about.

General warning: Discord is a walled garden and also collects your data.

(And it's generally considered rude to join some forum just to advertise for a different one. Especially if it doesn't align with the core values.)

I don't think this is a piracy community. Maybe have a look at the Wikipedia article and the side bar there.
