@th v lucky u were on the bus in case of boot issues
@th your bus runs on linux.
Maybe get off at the next stop.
@th this is like the worst possible sequel to Speed
@th just do everything in rc.local!
@th ah, see, there's your problem! You're not using systemd.
@th mind sharing which city has these? we have very similar ones here in hamburg.
@th CPH still? Hope you like it! It's not uncommon for some of those screens to be stuck in a boot loop. Usually the bus can still drive, though? But at least they run Linux. I've heard that the double-sided screens on some of the train platforms have one Windows machine for each side in them.
@th I guess that's: https://github.com/ibi-group
@th I find the lack of screen rotation really jarring for some reason.
@th oh that is brilliant…
@th A lot oft computers around you reboot seemingly spontaneous and without reason....
@th intel nucs make fine desktops, but would find them way to unreliable for these kinds of tasks.
@th my local aldi had a missing boot device as i walked past
@th is... Is this /the future/?
@th@social.v.st you meant “rebussed”
@th "The reboot on the bus goes round and round"
@th dbus…
@th This is a quintessential 21st-century experience.
@th TIL what SIGBUS is actually used for.
@th At least it's running on the correct date.
@th a few years back the plane I was on had a media entertainment system that kept boot-crashing right before it successfully launched X, with what was visibly a typo as the issue
12h of sitting on that flight knowing I could fix it and not being able to
(Even reached out to the staff and asked them to ask the captain if I could offer my help fixing it, but no dice)
@th this bus is being eaten by some kind of Linux or something
@th this reminds me of some buses Miami had for a while where the destination sign system actually could bring down the whole bus and make it undrivable! It'd get stuck in an increasingly tighter loop of trying and failing to play out a voice announcement and once it got to the point of just rattling off a glitchy buzz it'd be spamming the shared J1708 data bus so bad that the transmission would fail over into neutral and the engine would shut down.
@th oddly enough it was possible to kick the system out of the way by very quickly turning the master switch from run to stop and back before the engine stops turning! It was enough to kick the destination sign system into a reboot but the engine and transmission controls stayed up and running. Not advisable if the bus was still rolling though as the transmission would do a Very Bad Thing as it powered back up. (Passengers would fall over as it made a colossal BANG!)
The third reboot will definitely fix the bus
