The failure to wait for network-online was the last thing preventing me from going rootless. I am going to have to try this again.
I've always hated it and thought it was a stupid untuitive mechanic that didn't map to anything in real life. It also looks equally stupid in multiplayer when you see player character models spasm their way up a ledge during a crouch jump. It's an old school mechanic that I am glad is going out of fashion due to better vault controls.
like a simulation of pulling your legs up in real life.
You don't pull your legs up in real life though, you use your hands to vault onto something. You can't just swap stances in mid air without holding onto anything. Even if you were talking about box jumps, like the kinds you normally do at a gym, it still isn't anything remotely like a crouch jump. Also anyone doing a box jump in an actual combat situation just looks goofy.
Any time a game explicitly has a tutorial for crouch jump, my immersion is completely broken. I am instantly reminded that it is a game.
Performance parity? Heck no, not until this bug with the GSP firmware is solved: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/538
Yeah, it's amazing how upvoted the previous comment is. Just a bunch of idiots jumping on the web-hate bandwagon when even basic media players like Kodi have a tough time playing back video on the Pi.
It just isn't a very optimized device for video playback. The Pi 5 is actually a step backwards as well, providing only H265 hardware video decode which the web doesn't even use.
My issue with skins is that it is completely immersion breaking. You have Homelander and Gaia running around Call of Duty now. It's comical and just destroys my enjoyment of the game.
The skins get worse and worse because to continue the money machine they have to make more and more unique skins that just destroy the cohesion of the world they've built.
This. It all boils down to value for money. 5 dollars for a skin cosmetic is bullshit. 5 dollars or more for DLC with meaningful content is okay.
Some people have reported that installing the 32-bit version of mesa libva drivers makes it work for them? Might be worth a shot.
Thanks! So VRR works out of the box for you or did you have to do tweaks to get it to work? The answers on the Amazon page are conflicting, with the manufacturer saying VRR is not supported but some users saying it does. Don't know who to believe.
It is not necessary to add the nvidia stuff to initramfs. The important part is nvidia_drm.modeset=1.
I have the Arctis 7 as well and the default EQ sounds just fine, although I do prefer the Bass Boost. You can run the software inside a Windows VM, passthrough the USB dongle and configure all your settings as well. They get saved into the headset and work just fine in Linux without Linux native software.
Usually yes, but it doesn't apply to BG3. The vulkan renderer is terribly broken ever since Patch 3.
They borked the Vulkan Renderer somewhere around Patch...3 I think? It used to be so performant, but now it runs only at 40-60fps on my Nvidia 3090 compared to the DX11 renderer which can render at 80-120 T_T
Valve should totally hook her up with one of those dev accounts that have access to games so she doesn't have to pay for it themselves or get gifted them. She's doing valuable work for the ecosystem.
Here's the adapter I use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b6w814wXvc
Did you copy the wrong link? This was a random youtube video.
Good to hear that some adapters do work though. The lack of HDMI 2.1 basically prevented me from ever considering AMD, but if there are converters that work that certainly opens up my options.
Yeah, in a Reddit comment, Hector Martin himself said that the memory bandwidth on the Apple SIlicon GPU is so big that any potential performance problems due to TBDR vs IMR are basically insignificant.
...which is a funny fact because I had another Reddit user swear up and down that TBDR was a big problem and that's why Apple decided not to support Vulkan and instead is forcing everyone to go Metal.
Do they support VRR though? Last I heard that was still an issue with these converters.
Nowadays, I mostly don't even care about compatibility issues anymore and just expect a game to work in Linux, which is just freaking cool. Obviously, some competitive MP games are off the table due to anti-cheat, but that isn't my main gaming category nowadays so it works out.
I have a 3090 and just swapped over to the beta 555 drivers and Kwin with explicit sync patches applied (the patches will be available out of the box with Kwin 6.1). Honestly, the Wayland experience is basically flawless now for most cases. The only bug I am experiencing is Steam shows some corruption in the web views on start up until I resize the window, but it's a minor quibble in exchange for getting Wayland. I expect most of the minor remaining issues to be hammered out quickly.
Honestly, I've had genuinely bad experiences with AMD. I hated my unstable Vega 64 that would crash almost every day and was much happier when I finally ditched that card for my 3090. My laptop has a Radeon 680M and that would regularly have hard system hangs, broken video acceleration, etc.
Besides that, I also think being part of the AMD ecosystem is difficult at times. FSR sucks compared to DLSS, raytracing is sub-par, there's no path reconstruction equivalent. From a compute perspective, ROCm is unstable. Even running something as simple as Darktable with ROCm would cause half of each of my photos to not render out properly. Blender with Optix is much faster than Blender with AMD HIP. If you want to do AI, forget AMD as the ecosystem has basically gone with CUDA.
And yeah, the lack of HDMI 2.1 means no 4k 120Hz VRR on a wide variety of displays. Everyone says "why not display port", but it is tough finding a DP capable monitor with the right specs and size sometimes. For example, try finding an equivalent of an LG C2 that has DP. There's only one, its by Asus, and it costs $600 bucks more.
A lot of displays don't support DP unfortunately. I have an LG C2 which is perfect for desktop use and one of the more affordable OLED screens out there, and it does not support DP. The PC monitor equivalent that uses the same panel is made by Asus, but that one has a $600 dollar mark up.
Yeah but none of that means they're giving up the consumer space. This is all just conjecture.
How do you guys handle reverse proxies in rootless containers?
I've been trying to migrate my services over to rootless Podman containers for a while now and I keep running into weird issues that always make me go back to rootful. This past weekend I almost had it all working until I realized that my reverse proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager) wasn't passing the real source IP of client requests down to my other containers. This meant that all my containers were seeing requests coming solely from the IP address of the reverse proxy container, which breaks things like Nextcloud brute force protection, etc. It's apparently due to this Podman bug: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/8193
This is the last step before I can finally switch to rootless, so it makes me wonder what all you self-hosters out there are doing with your rootless setups. I can't be the only one running into this issue right?
If anyone's curious, my setup consists of several docker-compose files, each handling a different service. Each service has its own dedicated Podman netwo
Anyone else unable to log out of Plasma 6?
On one of my machines, I am completely unable to log out. The behavior is slightly different depending on whether I am in Wayland or X11.
Wayland
- Clicking log out and then OK in the log out window brings me back to the desktop.
- Doing this again does the same thing
- Clicking log out for a third time does nothing
X11
- Clicking log out will lead me to a black screen with just my mouse cursor.
In my journalctl logs, I see:

What are some KVM-over-IP or equivalent solutions you guys would recommend for guaranteed remote access and remote power cycle?
Currently, I have SSH, VNC, and Cockpit setup on my home NAS, but I have run into situations where I lose remote access because I did something stupid to the network connection or some update broke the boot process, causing it to get stuck in the BIOS or bootloader.
I am looking for a separate device that will allow me to not only access the NAS as if I had another keyboard, mouse, and monitor present, but also let's me power cycle in the case of extreme situations (hard freeze, etc.). Some googling has turned up the term KVM-over-IP, but I was wondering if any of you guys have any trustworthy recommendations.

Anyone else seeing reduced performance in BG3 Patch 2 with the Vulkan renderer?
Patch 2 seems to have drastically slowed down the Vulkan Renderer. Before I was able to get 80-110FPS in the Druid Grove, but now I am only getting 50fps. DX11 seems fine though, but I prefer using Vulkan since I am on Linux.

If I am using the SWAG proxy in front of a Nextcloud instance, is it safe to ignore some of the warnings in the admin page?
I am using one of the official Nextcloud docker-compose files to setup an instance behind a SWAG reverse proxy. SWAG is handling SSL and forwarding requests to Nextcloud on port 80 over a Docker network. Whenever I go to the Overview tab in the Admin settings, I see this security warning:
undefined
The "X-Robots-Tag" HTTP header is not set to "noindex, nofollow". This is a potential security or privacy risk, as it is recommended to adjust this setting accordingly.
I have X-Robots-Tag set in SWAG. Is it safe to ignore this warning? I am assuming that Nextcloud is complaining about this because it still thinks its communicating over an insecured port 80 and not aware of the fact that its only talking via SWAG. Maybe I am wrong though. I wanted to double check and see if there was anything else I needed to do to secure my instance.
SOLVED: Turns out Nextcloud is just picky with what
Migrating from docker to podman, encountering some issues
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/3989163
I've been messing around with podman in Arch and porting my self-hosted services over to it. However, it's been finicky and I am wondering if anybody here could help me out with a few things.
- Some of my containers aren't getting properly started up by
podman-restart.serviceon system reboot. I realized they were the ones that depended on my slow external BTRFS drive. Currently its mounted withx-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=5so that it doesn't hang up the boot if I disconnect it, but it seems like Podman doesn't like this. If I remove the systemd options the containers properly boot up automatically, but I risk boot hangs if the drive ever gets disconnected from my system. I have already triedx-systemd.before=podman-restart.serviceandx-systemd.required-by=podman-restart.service, and even tried increasing the device-timeout to no avail.When it attempts to start the container, I see this in jo

What's the best way to prevent IPv6 from leaking when using Wireguard?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/3754933
While experimenting with ProtonVPN's Wireguard configs, I realized that my real IPv6 address was leaking while IPv4 was correctly going through the tunnel. How do I prevent this from happening?
I've already tried adding
::/0to theAllowedIPsoption and IPv6 is listed as disabled in the NetworkManager profile.

Anyone else seeing duplicate audio devices when Bluetooth disconnects and reconnects?
So I have been running into a weird issue lately where if I disconnect a Bluetooth audio device, it will remain visible in the KDE audio mixer. Reconnecting the audio device then adds a duplicate entry and the keyboard volume control for it is completely broken. It stays at the same volume. This was working just fine about a week ago and I've already downgraded pipewire, kpipewire, bluedevil, and plasma-pa to no avail. Nothing shows up in the logs, so I don't know exactly what's causing this bug.
Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Arch Linux Kernel 6.4.8-arch1-1 Pipewire 0.3.77-1 KDE Plasma: 5.27.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0 Qt 5.15.10
EDIT: Seems like simply changing the Bluetooth A2DP audio profile causes this issue as well. I have Bluetooth earbuds that have both AAC and SBC modes and toggling between them just creates more and more duplicate devices with the same name.
THE FIX: Seems like pipewire-pulse 0.3.77 was the culprit after all. Downgrade it to pipe

Anyone else getting DNS leaks when running VPN on Archlinux?
I tried both Mullvad and Mozilla VPN and when I do a dns test, both are still using my ISP's DNS instead of the VPN's. This only happens on my Arch systems, works fine on my phone.
EDIT: Turns out these VPN clients depend on systemd-resolved in order to change your DNS. Enabling the service makes it work properly. A bit scary that they don't give you a warning that you're leaking DNS if you don't have systemd-resolved enabled.
What are your experiences with ZFS on Arch?
I am in the process of making a DIY NAS box and I am debating between mdadm + BTRFS and ZFS. What are your experiences with using ZFS on Arch? Have you run into any major issues? Does ZFS being an external kernel module cause any annoyances with the frequent Arch kernel updates?
Give me the dirty details! Any recommendations or pitfalls I should avoid?
Thanks!
HyperX Quadcast S mic is preventing my system from sleeping. What's the best way to debug and submit a bug report?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1313651
Every time I plug in my Quadcast S USB mic into my Arch Linux box, I can't properly go into deep sleep. Unplugging it before attempting to sleep makes it work again, but its annoying to have to do that every time. How do I debug this and where do I even submit a bug report for this?

How do I search modlog for a particular post?

I commented on a post a while back and thought I'd check it out again to see if there was any additional discussion. When I clicked into my comment to get to the original post, I realized the post itself had been removed. I'd like to go into the modlog and see why it was deleted but I can only filter by user. Is there a way I could download a text version of the modlog and search for the post id there?

Linux Unplugged had a pretty good discussion IMHO about some of the more nuanced details behind the RedHat drama that I haven't seen being covered elsewhere as much. The final opinion about RedHat I leave as an exercise to the listener.
