SteveTech,

(with type covered as a bonus)

Relevant fact: Most standard non-letter batteries are named after their physical size, for example a CR2032 is 20mm diameter x 3.2mm height; or not a button battery, but an 18650 is 18mm diameter x 65.0mm height.

It doesn’t have a QR code in it’s current state AFAIK, but I believe the guy wants to add one eventually. Here’s what it might look like:

DRM panic handler panic screenshotgitlab.com/kdj0c/panic_report/-/issues/1

Also from the commits it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (white on black default), and that exclamation Tux is already there.

Looks like this is already a thing though with [systemd-bsod]

Nah, that only handles boot errors, not kernel panics.

SteveTech,

Yeah usually it’ll still use your dGPU to render, but the frames still have to go back through the iGPU, so there’s a fair bit of overhead compared to plugging straight into the dGPU. I’d imagine it might also increase CPU usage too, as it has to coordinate transfering frames between 2 GPUs.

Here’s the Google Lens translation: The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of “IP hosting/spreading malware”

SteveTech,

Here’s the free device manufacturer version: apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n4wgh0z6vhq

Add –ozone-platform-hint=auto to the command, I’ve done it so may times for electron stuff it’s engrained into my head now haha. You can check that it works with xlsclients.

Also QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland for QT based apps is handy to know too if they’re not behaving.

SteveTech,

I might be completely wrong, but I’ve heard that a key is only a few hundred dollars, and once you’ve got it you can sign whatever you want. I think ReactOS also used to offer free driver signing for open source projects.

So I guess if ReactOS can afford one, so can most anti-cheat companies.

SteveTech,

I’m probably jumping to conclusions, but Nvidia?

Current state of NTFS compatibility?

Hi all. I’ve used Linux off and on for almost two decades now but most recently in a VM. I’m thinking I might make the permanent switch sometime before Windows 10 EOL. My concern is that I have over 12TB of data spanned across many drives, all in the NTFS file system. How is NTFS compatibility nowadays? For a time, I...

SteveTech,

NTFS-3G on Linux is very stable, and I’d recommend sticking to that, although I’d avoid the newer NTFS3 driver.

But if you really want to convert, and it’s data that you don’t mind loosing, ntfs2btrfs can convert NTFS partitions to BTRFS, and it’s available in most distros’ repositories.

SteveTech,

Some discord servers can require a verified phone number, not any I know of, but it can be enabled.

SteveTech,

The cool part is, the kernel and most of the user space is still running fine, so there’s no restart required (although I would anyway), it’s just gnome is having issues.

I’ve had dodgy hardware cause a kernel panic, which is much more equivalent to a Windows BSOD.

SteveTech,

Yeah, and I feel like someone’s gonna slam that door one day and get egg all over their bananas.

SteveTech,

Excel would be emulating the silicon here

SteveTech,

Here’s the word, if you were wondering:

SteveTech,

I don’t believe so, I think OP just misremembered 1970.

The 1704067200 is the 2024 new year, in seconds from 1970 (normal Unix time).

SteveTech,

Firstly, there actually isn’t much difference between server grade and gaming motherboards, like sure one might support ECC + IPMI and the other RGB + overclocking, but as far as compute goes, they are both effective motherboards.

Secondly, I don’t think OP was going for a ‘server’ but more of just a workstation type build, so why one or the other?

Thirdly, why does it even matter? OP should be proud of their system whether you like it or not. Even if they are using it as a server, my first server was just some reasonably priced consumer grade parts and I never had any sort of stability issues with it.

SteveTech,

Woah peertube federating with lemmy is actually really cool!

SteveTech,

CS2 was released as an update to CSGO, so it’s effectively the same game as far as steam charts go.

They have free ‘community editions’, I haven’t really found a need for a licence. I’ve only used IntelliJ, PyCharm, and ReSharper though.

Edit: I meant rider but I was using a student licence for it anyway.

SteveTech, (edited )

If you’re using Oracle cloud (just guessing based off 1GB), they also offer free ARM VMs with 24GB of RAM, and netbird looks to support ARM.

Anglican Church sacked Headmaster over compensation to child sexual abuse victims (archive.md)

I’m not usually one to share links, but my old school’s Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul’s School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren’t his problem but he refunded...

SteveTech,

I think you’d have to do echo o | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger, otherwise sudo only works for the echo, not the write.

SteveTech,

It writes to a file like >, and echos it back at the same time; in this case the latter isn’t needed (we’re just using it to write with sudo), but it’s good to know.
