My old computer that was build about 6 years ago started not getting powered since about 2 years ago, when I unplug it and took it to computer shops, that computer gets powered instantly when plugged in, but I needed to wait at least 12 hours before I attempt to plug it in again in order to make it boot (if I am lucky).
I changed the PSU, didn’t work, bought a UPS as stop gap fix, I saved money to buy a new PC instead.
Not sure if that title is accurate, this field is not my strong point. Basically I’m about to move homes. And in my new (temporary) home I wont have access to ethernet, plus my server doesn’t have a network card. I was therefore wondering if it was possible to bridge a connection between my laptop to my server with an...
I wanna get into 2d games a bit more. Mainly things like RPGs or metroidvanias (or just single palywr games in general) For devices I can emulate older systems and I also have a switch. Any recommendations?
There have been a implementation of Opencl in the Mesa driver for a year now, But, have any software start using it? I got no luck with both Davinci Resolve and F@H, and now I am curious.
I recently switched to Linux (Zorin OS) and I selected “use ZFS and encrypt” during installation. Now before I can log in it asks me “please unlock disk keystore-rpool” and I have to type in the encryption password it before I’m able to get to the login screen....

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute
Tailscale server can also be self-hosted, look into headscale.
From my own experience, I still can’t setup headscale on my Android phone, I think latest tailscale APP fucked up setting custom server function. Don’t install from Google Play
On Dasharo (who worked on support for MSI boards) has pre-flashed motherboard for sale on their website, but looking at the price it’s expensive, but it comes with some support.
Lately my PC has started crashing while it plays videos. It freezes completely, screen frozen and not responding to any input (keyboard, mouse), I mean I cannot change TTY (alt + ctrl + F(1-2-…)), and it cannot even respond to alt + PrntScr + REISUB. I have to force power off by holding down the power button....
Through some more testing, I found out mesa related hardware acceleration package can cause these power surge, on Archlinux it includes mesa-vdpau and libva-mesa-driver.
If I don’t have these package installed, VLC reverts to libplacebo which doesn’t seem to cause more power usage.
Turns out in my case it’s mesa driver causing my problem, after removing mesa’s VA-API and VDPAU drivers VLC can still play things just fine, CPU is at 2~3%.
The problem has been solved, it’s caused by mesa’s video decoding package, I will answer anyway.
Yes, VCN (Video Core Next) column stays at constant value while playing video (3% for VA-API with mesa, 5% for VDPAU with mesa, 0% for libplacebo), GFX fluctuates between 0% and 1%.
Just playing a 1080P video (not even a high bit rate one) is enough to make GPU fan go spinning, disappointing.
