was this the one where grandpa was babysitting the kids whilst Marge and Homer went to marriage counselling, the kids trash the house and grandpa plays the ‘feeb’ act to get them to tidy up after?

oh noes :(

Thanks for the reminder though :)

I don’t quite understand it but it’s adorable and I’m here for it.

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

understood, I’ll make a note of this

I would also like to fit a little adroable crime into my daily schedule

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

There’s the truth :|

And then the truth! :D

The one where Marge becomes a realtor :)

The murder house!

here’s hoping. would be a nightmare if it somehow reached the healthcare industry

If you can, I would recommend keeping your operating systems on separate disks, and even disconnecting your windows disk whilst you install your distro of choice.

I personally multi boot win 10, 11 (SW testing purposes) and Fedora Workstation on my primary system, they each live on their own drive.

Linux mint or zorin OS for layman beginners who just want everything to work and focuses on stability , privacy , security ? Also what to do if I switched to mint and WiFi stopped working ?

Hey, so I just put this part up first because this is the one I urgently and importantly need answered even tho I wrote that hideous text block first (sorry English isn’t my first language )....

That can be the case for most mainstream distros in expecteded platforms. You may find some quirks with RISC-V.

General package availability is fairly high but there’s bound to be gaps in software you need. (You should be able to find this out in advance on a per-app or library basis). Projects like Box86 and FexEmu can maybe be applied here as well but that’s another layer of complexity added to an already significant jump you’re making.

Make the exploration of this arch a side project rather than a main goal for now. There are some very interesting SBCs available, the PineTab V looks pretty cool as well, but I’d by lying to you if I said you could depend on these devices as your primary system.

no worries. RISC V is an interesting, promising yet emerging platform.

You may be able to use a RISC V system as a general computer but there’s likely to be gaps in terms of software support.

I suppose you could try and see how far can you get by using a Raspberry Pi (or similar device) as your primary computer as a sort of benchmark (bearing in mind that the RPi is ARM based, not RISC V)

With all of that said, I’m really looking forward to the day of high performance, general purpose RISC V PC systems.

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

No prob.

For whatever it’s worth, you can get some very performant ARM and RISC V processors. Software support gaps are less of an issue for ARM considering how long it’s been around for. The apple silicon macs are all arm based and seem to perform very well under specific scenarios and workloads.

But I’ve had some struggles recently with very obscure software packages not playing nicley on my raspberry 5 with x86 emulation, so there are some definite hurdles still.

You’re not wrong, there are some pretty cool RV SBCs out there though. I would love to tinker someday but the unit price is maybe a bit steeper than I’d like for such an endeavour.

Someday, sure.

AMD GPU driver with opencl support?

Basically title. I have a 7600(x)(t) 8G. I want drivers with opencl for hashcat. I know the proprietary ones work, but they are a ludicrously massive PITA. I am willing to use almost any distro to make this work (not Ubuntu, and not one of those random newer ones). I really hope I don’t have to use the proprietary drivers....

vikingtons, (edited )
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

Ah man, are you able to verify OCL working with other applications such as OpenShot or Blender?

As for your edit, sorry you’re correct, the package name is rocm-opencl, otherwise referred to as rocm-opencl-runtime

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely worth a look!

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

Oh damn, can you send me a link to that? I’ll also try Hashcat + its benchmark when I get the chance.

Reaching out to a friend who has some familiarity with HC in the mean time.

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

cheers, will give that a look

vikingtons, (edited )
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

The OpenCL benchmark for me worked without any issues.

The Hashcat benchmark threw the same errors as you’d seen until I manually specified my device (my friend was able to point me in the right direction here).

You can enumerate your OpenCL device (i.e. your GPU) with something like clinfo, rocm-clinfo.

I had to run Hashcat’s benchmark like so: hashcat -b -d 2where 2 is my RX 6800XT

Hope this helps

Lovely bit of DIY!

Excellent work - very nice looking handle.

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

that sounds neat, please post us a pic when you get around to it?

Also super jealous that you have a leg press machine at home!

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

Oh no way, I was looking at these convertible hack / leg press machines. So cool!

I have a similar spatial constraint in my garage, have just been squatting more in lieu of a leg press

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

I have a half rack with a built in, plate loaded cable / pully system. The design and overall build quality leave a lot to be desired but I can’t fault it’s versatility. The accessories can quickly become a rabbit hole though 😅

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

it has a central rail and pulley system at the the rear of the rack lemmy.world/…/22b17aef-45d9-45d7-b1d6-1a4873bf5d9…Post on it here lemmy.world/post/4273811
