Manually fixing bit flips in BTRFS

Somehow my BTRFS file system became corrupted by what appears to be a single bit flip in a metadata field. Rather than copying all the data and reformatting the file system, which would have required another disk at least as large as the original, I decided to try to fix this manually, which appears to have worked. I've documented the procedure I've used here, in case I need it again or someone else runs into a similar issue and finds it useful.

The first thing you should do is run btrfs check. For me this produced the following output:

Opening filesystem to check...
Checking filesystem on /dev/nvme0n1p1
UUID: ec7afe1c-8478-450a-82fc-d17b32d8ca3d

preface: Posting these online since it sounds like these notes are somewhat interesting based on a few folks I've shared with. These are semi-rough notes that I basically wrote for myself in case I ever needed to revisit this fix, so keep that in mind.

I recently bought an LG ULTRAGEAR monitor secondhand off of a coworker. I really love it and it's been great so far, but I ran into some minor issues with it in Linux. It works great on both Mac and Windows, but on Linux it displays just a black panel until I use the second monitor to go in and reduce the refresh rate down to 60 Hz.

This has worked decent so far but there's some issues:

It doesn't work while linux is booting up. The motherboards boot sequence is visible just fine, but as soon as control is handed over to Linux and I'd normally see a splash screen while I'm waiting for my login window, I see nothing.
It doesn't work on the login screen. This would be fine if login consistently worked on my second screen, but I need to manually switch

Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.

Upgrade CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8

In 2020, Red Hat announced that CentOS 8 will no longer receive support after the end of 2021 and will be succeeded by CentOS Stream, see also our article 'What is CentOS Stream'. CentOS 7 will be supported longer until June 30, 2024.

You may want to upgrade to an alternative to CentOS before then, but reinstalling your VPS is not a desirable option. In this guide, we show you how to upgrade your VPS from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8 (or OracleLinux or Rocky Linux).

The steps in this guide have been successfully tested on up-to-date installations of CentOS 7 and DirectAdmin 1.63.0 with CentOS 7.

Take a snapshot before you start the upgrade process so that you can fall back on it if you experience problems after upgrading to AlmaLinux.
