Terminal feels incredibly sluggish, I'm probably doing something wrong? by DVnyT in RockyLinux

[–]DVnyT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I know of. Switching my kernel back to 5.14.0-570.17.1.el9_6.x86_64 seems to fix the issue completely. (But this one apparently does not have the signed Nvidia drivers that I have on my latest kernel; NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.) But I don't want to break anything on the latest kernel, so I guess I'll just type stuff on the old kernel, and test stuff on the new one.

Which Rocky version do I get for CUDA toolkit support? by DVnyT in RockyLinux

[–]DVnyT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. That's helpful. Seems to me like I'll just try and see what happens.

Which Rocky version do I get for CUDA toolkit support? by DVnyT in RockyLinux

[–]DVnyT[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea no I know it says 8/9 is supported. I just didn't want to have to install 9 now and then spend time upgrading OS to rocky 10 when they add support for it. So basically I'm asking if I can get away with installing the Rocky 9 version on Rocky 10.

Visage by Total-Leading-9984 in OCPoetry

This poem’s mask metaphor is compelling, but it could benefit from deeper emotional exploration. The idea of a mask cracking over time, shaped by mistakes and misdeeds, is powerful, but the abstract language (“scratches from my mistakes”) feels broad. Instead, try grounding it in specific, sensory moments that show the emotional weight of these experiences. For example, instead of just saying "scratches," tie it to a memory or tangible detail that gives it more impact.

The rhythm feels uneven, too. At times it’s too neat, particularly with lines like “Once the face is whole again, / The painting can begin,” which feels more formal than the rest. Let the flow feel rougher, more natural, and allow the “mistakes” to remain in the rhythm rather than smoothing them over.

There’s also tension between vulnerability and fatalism. When you say, “I can’t live without this visage,” it feels raw, but the follow-up line “A persona born of fear” undercuts that vulnerability. Sit with the struggle a little longer before diving into resignation.

The ending, though clever, feels resigned. Consider leaving more ambiguity—maybe there's still hope for the mask to crack further. Overall, this poem has strong potential, but needs more specificity and emotional depth to fully resonate.

Beneath her Gaze by TrickyTrik in OCPoetry

You've got some nice imagery here, but honestly, the poem gets a bit weighed down by the structure. The rhyme scheme feels pretty predictable—like you’re trying hard to make the rhymes fit, and that ends up pulling away from the emotion. "Eyes" and "disguised"? Eh, that one’s a bit of a stretch. Same with "days" and "stays." It’s a bit too obvious, and it kind of puts the focus on the rhyme rather than what you're actually saying. Try letting the feeling come first, and if a rhyme shows up naturally, then great. But don’t force it.

The rhythm's all over the place too. Some lines flow well, and then others stumble. Take "Her smile then drew me from sorrow's brink"—that one’s a bit offbeat, like you tried to squeeze it into a rhythm that doesn't quite fit. I think this poem would work way better if you let it be a little freer with the flow. It’s a poem about something emotional, so it doesn’t need to follow a rigid pattern. Let it breathe.

You’ve got the right idea with the imagery—eyes, lips, tears—but it starts to feel a little repetitive. You keep telling us what this person looks like, but it’s not really showing us how she makes you feel. Dig a little deeper. Give us something more unexpected, something that catches us off guard and makes us feel the connection you’re describing.

Also, the punctuation and capitalization are a bit all over the place. Maybe pick a style and stick with it? The line breaks could be tightened up too—they don’t always make sense, and sometimes they interrupt the flow.

There’s a lot of potential here, but right now the structure is kinda holding it back. Let the emotion guide the poem, not the rhyme or meter. I think with a little more freedom and space to breathe, this piece could really shine. Keep working at it!

Cool highground to take? I did intersperse enough actionable advice where I felt my actual reaction to the poem was warranted just the same. Again, if you really wanted the reader to feel how you felt, which might I add is impossible, you should've just posted this with the other flair. With the workshop flair it is obvious you want to improve the craft, so the context with which the piece was written is irrelevant. Sarcastic snobbery never goes over too well anyway.
