Unusable 3151 ⁂

I don’t know about “most”. It hasn’t been an option on any of the consumer motherboards I’ve used in my homelab.

yes, it’s a zip-tie-and-duck-tape watchdog that cost me $5

I just wrote a comment about a very similar setup! Glad I wasn’t the only one haha

I used to have a Ryzen 2700X based system as a server. At the time (no clue if it’s still an issue), there was a bug in the interaction between early Ryzen chips and Linux that caused the OS to lock up intermittently. I used a ATmega32u4 board to connect to the reset switch on the PC and as a USB device with a systemd unit that sends a ping to the board every 30 seconds. If the board doesn’t see a ping for a minute, it reboots the PC. It was janky as hell, but it worked for 2+ years!
