From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello,
Today my washing machine completely broke down. My parents desperately tried to get it working, but it resulted in the circuit breakers tripping and my server (an old Dell Wyse thin client) experiencing a hard power off.
When I tried to turn it back on, I received these errors on the screen.
I ran a memtest, and it completed without any issues. I also created a disk image backup just in case.
Is there any chance of getting this machine running again, or is it only fit for utilization?
At first, I thought it was some sort of iot washing machine that stopped working due to software error lol.
I was wondering what a washing machine needed a TPM for. Better title: "machine fails to boot after power failure"
enforcing their bootloader signature obviously. can't risk having consumers prod their washing machine software, they might hurt themselves.
Good point - I've fixed it
Me too. Read the title, looked at the picture and concluded that some people have really fancy washing machines. 😃
I assumed OP plugged himself in some hidden serial port (like cars' obd2) and the washing machine had indeed a tpm to prevent bootleg/non original spare parts.
The human mind can be the deepest well of imagination sometimes. I'm a bit too good at that o.Ô
I wish my washing machine had an ethernet port so that I could SSH into it.
What is it actually?
The washing machine caused some sort of electric failure that damaged a thin client being used as a server
Oh wow I'm dense
"Look at me, I'm the server now."
