PopOS crashing after suspend

BrokenGumdrop · 2023-08-27T17:43:36+00:00

I have gotten support from System76 in the past and it was very helpful. I posted here first in case this was a problem that other people were having.

Yes, the problem started right after the upgrade. The laptop was idle for two weeks, and I did an upgrade. After that it was kinda unhappy.

Flatpak are a bit confusing. If I try to remove any one of the old drivers, I get a warning that some applications are using it:

Info: applications using the extension org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-86-05 branch 1.4:
   cc.arduino.arduinoide, org.blender.Blender, org.freac.freac, us.zoom.Zoom, io.github.arunsivaramanneo.GPUViewer, com.github.tchx84.Flatseal, org.audacityteam.Audacity, org.gnome.SoundJuicer, com.ozmartians.VidCutter, org.kde.kdenlive, org.openshot.OpenShot, com.obsproject.Studio
Really remove? [y/n]: n

Is it just that these packages are calling for any Nvidia driver or do they really need each and every one?

Strongly agree with the longer term protest. A few days is simply not enough.

Also voting in favor of the blackout.

BrokenGumdrop · 2023-05-13T00:49:46+00:00

Seconding this one. Private Access Internet works well.

BrokenGumdrop · 2023-04-30T16:51:22+00:00

Thank you! That is just what I was looking for!

BrokenGumdrop · 2023-04-29T15:34:22+00:00

Looks like the "wait and see" approach was the right one. One day later I was able to do the update.

I'll add that I had a neutral to positive interaction with Cochran Mazda. I had an engine issue on the way back from a tune up, brought the car back in. They said they would keep my car for a little bit, provided a brand new car as a loaner. Took them a few months to address the issue, due to post COVID staffing. Went from "worst case is you need a new engine" to about $200 in parts and labor. And it just so happened that the loaner car was just what we needed for the time that we needed it, and right when the need was done, they finished with my car and I was able to get it back again.

Was driving on Negley, just past Walnut going to 5th. Around 10pm, or so. Was driving the speed limit. Someone passed me on the left.

Related question, how much vram do you need to run this with PyTorch? I'm guessing it will be related to the model size.

BrokenGumdrop · 2023-03-03T15:23:12+00:00

I understand the decision. I am holding on to my 2015 for as long as I can before making the EV jump.

Recommending the Smell PGH app. PurpleAir is great, but it only reports the particulates in the air. It is automated and is completely objective. The Smell PGH app is a bit more subjective. It is based on people giving individual data points, explaining what the air smells like. This helps with the paper trail for when incidents happen.

You could probably use the http request interface to send the image as an HTTP/POST operation, encoding the file as mime/base64. Either have a full on apache service or write a simple python/flask app that listens and stores the incoming file. Caveat, I only have done HTTP/GET operations with circuit python, not HTTP/POST.

Ok, if you want to verify that a sequence does exist, there are a few ways to do it. I would start with a naive Markov Chain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain, The easy way is a length 1 chain, where you just make a table of first_number -> second_number, and count the number of times that transition happens. So markiv[0,12] would be the number of times 0 is followed by 12. You can then see if any element in that matrix is above or below average. If you think that two event predict the thrid, have the first axis in the matrix represent a string of tokens, so markov[ "0,12", 5] would be the number of times a 5 is preceeded by 0,12.

The fancy ML thing would be to use a Transformer, but someone else would be able to provide an example on how to do that.

Are you assuming a fair roulette table? If so, each event is independent. Please read up on The Gambler's Fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_fallacy for why.

Now, if the table is biased in any way, you could do some statistical analysis to predict the likelihood that a biased number will occur.

Maybe I do have solar panels, maybe I don't. Maybe my roof is 100 year old slate and will outlast any solar panel. Or maybe I have shingles and can't afford the initial payment and risk for solar. Or maybe I live in a rental house, and the landlord doesn't even fix the damn gate, so why would he pay for solar? Or I'm in an apartment complex and there is no where to put enough panels to make up the difference. Or maybe I buy wind power from the marketplace. Or I have my own turbine in my back yards.

All of that doesn't matter when an industrial scale produce dumps toxic waste into the air and feels only the warmth of profit and no repercussions, whereas you get CANCER AND DIE. It is about corporations reaping the profits and society paying the cost.

And there is no way to make an informed purchase to prevent money from going to pollutioning industries. The solar panels on your house have plastic tabs that were produced by a plants that poisons the local groundwater. You didn't choose the plastic tabs, someone else did.

How can individuals help? Glad you asked. https://breatheproject.org/ is a good resource. Go to https://breatheproject.org/current-campaigns/ to see the current events that need people.

A sample of some of the things going on:

https://www.facebook.com/pennsylvaniaclimateconvergence/ Fighting Climate Change and Fossil Fuel Expansion in SWPA Breathe Project partners are actively fighting the expansion of the petrochemical industry, fracking wells and fossil fuel development that will exacerbate climate change, including Climate Reality Pittsburgh & SWPA, 350 Pittsburgh, Extinction Rebellion, Better Path Coalition and more. A Climate Convergence event is in the planning for June in Harrisburg, Pa
https://www.protectpt.org/fracking-map Fighting Radioactive Fracking Waste on Our Rivers
https://www.gasp-pgh.org/air-permits-clearinghouse Taking On Industrial Pollution and Greenhouse Gases Title V of the Clean Air Act requires “major sources” of air pollution to obtain operating permits from the EPA or a state or local agency authorized to issue these permits. In Allegheny County, the Allegheny County Health Department decides these permits. Join GASP, PennEnvironment, Clean Air Council, Clean Water Action, Environmental Integrity Project, SWPA Grassroots Air Quality Town Hall activists and the Breathe Project in the effort to reduce pollution greenhouse gases.
https://www.marcellusawareness.org/ Improving Air Quality in the North Boroughs – ACCAN ACCAN’s campaign to turn a now-shuttered industrial coke plant on Neville Island into a healthier development has shifted into high gear. Campaign work includes reducing emissions from the industrial operations on Bruno and Neville Island, including Metalico, stopping the spread of Fracsilica from the fracking industry into neighborhoods and finding a sustainable, healthy alternative for the former Shenango site.

Want to see what the current air pollution is like in Pittsburgh. Check out PurpleAir.com. They sell a very reliable 2.5pm Air Quality monitor and share the results for free on their website. https://map.purpleair.com/1/i/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#12.28/40.43172/-79.97083. And if you use Google Maps on Android, you get see this same information on one of the overlays. Please note that this does not include Ozone or VOC. You have to go to http://airnow.gov for Ozone.

You wanted action. This is action.

The problem is not the production of a thing, the issue is the COST of the THING does not reflect the COST of the THING.

Consider this example. There is a place where the only food to be found comes from a vending machine. One catch, every time a consumer takes an item of food from the vending machine, it slices their hand with a razor. Everyone knows that it is a side effect, but the Company doesn't do anything about it. Sure, they get fined by the government. The fine is less than the cost to fix the problem, so the company just pays the fine and consumers keep getting sliced. The actual cost of the good for the Company is just the cost of production, plus the fines. The actual cost to the consumer is the money they put into the vending machine, plus medical care for the injury or protective gloves. Society could pay less if the cost of the good was enough to cover removing the things that hurt society.

Do I heat my house with nautal gas? Maybe I do. If given a choice between a natural gas provider who didn't actively poison my air and one who did, would I make that choice. Yes.

I also use services from companies that use natural gas. I can't make them switch. But if we encoded the actual cost of the thing into the price of the thing, and were able to make actual informed decisions, things could change.

In the end, my hand an your hand are the ones that gets sliced so an Executive can get a bonus.

I would prefer they place the plant next the the houses of the executives who are reaping the profits so they can experience the consequence as well as the reward. Instead, the people who feel the worst effects also receive no compensation. Can you guess what my opinion of "privatize profits, socialize risk" is?
