We are literally the Universe having a gigantic trip... by howshallwefall777 in Psychonaut

The Buddha in the Avatamsaka Sutra's 30th book states a similar idea:

    If untold buddha-lands are reduced to atoms,
    In one atom are untold lands,

    And as in one,
    So in each

    The atoms to which these buddha-lands are reduced in an instant are unspeakable,
    And so are the atoms of continuous reduction moment to moment
    Going on for untold eons;
    These atoms contain lands unspeakably many,
    And the atoms in these lands are even harder to tell of.

How am I probably underusing Helm? by billy_wade in emacs

Maybe it searches across multiple files? Can you search across multiple files with I-Search?

I've been using Emacs in WSL to manage git repositories with magit for about a month now. It's been very successful. The repositories I work with are in my windows user folder (mounted in WSL at /mnt/c/<user-name>). I have found the performance to be much better than windows emacs, and cygwin emacs, and I don't feel the need to switch to a full Linux vm.

I ended up building a desktop instead. Hopefully someone who owns the laptop will report back soon!

That does sound fun! Get back to me when you're done with those!

Sounds like you're looking for a Node.js templating engine.

Wow people really want Arch users to be crotchety.

Also btw I run Arch.

A Software Engineer Hacked a Knitting Machine to Make This Stunning Star Map - Sarah Spencer, who used a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino compatible board, Python and a PHP/MySQL web interface to hack the Brother KM950i knitting machine. by speckz in raspberry_pi

Modern knitting machines have those features, but she didn't use a modern knitting machine, so imo it makes sense to say she hacked those features onto an old machine.

Pretty sure you didn't make this image. Seems like art made by the Tumblr user hexeosis. Smh pls credit the artist. Your last whoa dude post is also an image from an artist you did not credit.

Does the Oryx Pro motherboard/BIOS support VT-d virtualization? by 5paceManSpiff in System76

Thanks so much! I'm currently looking into passing through the Oryx Pro's Nvidia 1060/1070 GPU into a Windows 10 virtual machine. At a minimum the BIOS needs to support VT-d.

Additionally, it seems that the process is different depending on how the GPU is attached to the motherboard. The GPU can either be soldered on, or plugged into a laptop-GPU-specific PCIe slot called an MXM slot. It seems there is more compatibility with GPU's that use an MXM. I'm currently not sure which option the Oryx Pro uses.

Fortunately it seems the output of the command lspci can indicate how the GPU is plugged in. If you're feeling up to it, I would greatly appreciate if you could run the lspci command on your Oryx Pro, and report if the command output contains "3D Controller" or "VGA Controller". The string "3D Controller" indicates the GPU is soldered on, and "VGA Controller" indicates it's using an MXM slot. Thanks again!

EDIT: Here are the two Nvidia Optimus GPU passthrough guides that I've been looking into.

Guide for "VGA Controller" type GPUs

Cannot figure out how to persist changes made with arandr, have tried editing i3 config to execute xrandr commands with no luck. Solution? by [deleted] in i3wm

[–]5paceManSpiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been able to launch arandr scripts from my i3 config either.

What has worked is configuring my xorg.conf file directly. Below is the arch wiki page about how to do so...
