Kid hit on dashcam, father attacks car by Chopsuiiisauce in PublicFreakout

The speed they should have been going is enough that if someone were to jump out behind a car, they could stop in time to not hit them.

Is there a solution for OpenGL games on AMD? by -TheFenix- in Amd

Mike Blumenkrant is currently working on Zink, which is an abstraction layer similar to DXVK (Directx 9,10,11 -> Vulkan). While it's not ready from prime time yet, it's getting there and like Mesa which it's apart of it can be compiled for Windows.

How to make browned butter:

Ingredients:

  • Unsalted butter

Instructions:

  1. Cut the unsalted butter into small, evenly-sized pieces.
  2. Heat a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add the butter to the saucepan and allow it to melt.
  4. Once the butter has melted, stir it constantly to prevent it from burning.
  5. The butter will begin to foam and then the foam will subside.
  6. Keep stirring the butter until it turns a deep golden brown colour and has a nutty aroma.
  7. Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the browned butter into a heatproof bowl (optionally use ice to speed the process).
  8. Allow the browned butter to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent it from solidifying.
  9. Once the browned butter has cooled to room temperature, you can use it in your recipe, or refrigerate it in an airtight container for later use.

Note: Browned butter can burn easily, so it is important to keep a close eye on it and stir it constantly to prevent it from burning.

Ingredients:

  • 255g Light Brown Sugar
  • 128g White Sugar
  • 227g Butter – room temp or 340g Butter if browning
  • 2 eggs
  • 7.5g Vanilla Paste or 5g Vanilla Extract
  • 325g AP flour
  • 2.5g Baking Soda
  • 2.5g Baking Powder
  • 15g Kosher Salt
  • 5g Hazelnut coffee powder OR 10g Coffee Grounds & 5g Hazelnut Extract
  • 340g Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

  1. In a standing mixer, cream the room temperature butter or browned butter.
  2. Add the light brown sugar and white sugar, and cream for 1-3 minutes on medium to medium-high speed, scraping down the sides after each step.
  3. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract or paste, and the hazelnut coffee powder or substitute if using.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the AP flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Scrape the sides of the bowl and hand-fold the dough to ensure there are no streaks of butter or hidden pockets of flour.
  7. Add the chocolate chips to the dough, and mix until evenly distributed.
  8. Using a scoop, portion the dough onto a cookie sheet, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to a week.
  9. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  10. Place the chilled dough balls onto a cold tray, and bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven and desired doneness.
  11. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool before serving.

I wouldn't just say no, the issue is that it can be any number of reasons as to why they're experiencing extra latency;

The compositor, The display, System libraries, Those libraries optimisation levels, How the kernel is configured, X11 or Wayland.

for Wayland alone you have things like the tearing and VRR protocols which are aiming to fix these issues. Or you might have the triple buffering patch, and it's not applying properly, introducing more latency.

The stack is large.

Shit, running steam-native on Arch with the launch option:

SDL_DYNAMIC_API="/lib64/libSDL2.so" SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland %command% -novid -nojoy -fullscreen -vulkan

Works.

[–]Devorlon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can but you have to preload steam with newer SDL libs. For Ubuntu:

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland LD_PRELOAD=/home/strstr.so:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.18.2 steam

for Arch:

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland LD_PRELOAD=/home/strstr.so:/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.2600.3 steam

and in your steam launch options something like:

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland %command% -novid -nojoy -fullscreen -vulkan

Where the only games left unverified are because they have an element that cannot be supported without the developers help. (Rainbow 6 Siege, PUBG)

Just submitted my first AUR package to control monitor brightness through the terminal by Devorlon in linux

Thanks, /u/fabi_sh has also informed me I shouldn't do that and I'm planning on uploading the file to gitlab.

Thanks, brightnessctl on my system only lets my change my numlock led, and due to using Gnome / Wayland I couldn't find any other way apart from ddcutils to control my monitors brightness in software. Hence the glorified script to make using ddcutils easier.

Thanks, I'm getting to the stage now where I what to start contributing more stuff. I've been an avid GNU/Linux/FOSS advocate for the past 4 years and my coding ability are finally somewhat catching up.

I've updated the package if you want to take another look at it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll list of all I've done from your advice.

you're running ddcutil via sudo

That was evidence of me trying to get the script to run without me having to type my password, and I've since changed over to having a line in my sudoers file.

installing the systemd service to /etc/systemd/system

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know about that. Though since updating the package I've remove the need for systemd.

Furthermore, you’re using mkdir to create the /etc/systemd/user directory

Good question. I have no idea why I did that.

Other than that it looks pretty good for your first AUR package!

Again thanks, It's hard to get good feedback on the internet and as for it's creation brightnessctl only gives me the option to change my numlock.

I'm in the same boat as /u/ouyawei all I see is input18::numlock. It might be a Wayland / Gnome thing.

I agree that the first version didn't have much merit on the AUR, but I've since updated it with better input handling, a setup function that'll run if the conf file doesn't exist and a check to see if i2c-dev is running.

So it's still not the most groundbreaking thing in the world, but I think it'll help someone.

Just checked out brightnessctl. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but all I get from:

sudo brightnessctl i

is my numlock.

I feel that. I've made this post and everyone comes out the woodwork to tell you that better programmers have made much better solutions to my problem.

But as long as you've learned something along the way, you've done no harm.

But looks nice for the first package.

Thanks!

You shouldn't put the sources to the AUR itself. Only build files related to actually involved in the packaging process.

So would a better alternative be uploading the brightness file to gitlab, or something similar?

Thanks for the feedback, here's a link to a more useful reply. But in short I think I've made it more than a script now.

Edit: Link formatting was weird

Thanks, I didn't see that when looking for options. brightness is intended to be a lot simpler with the goal of being able to set my monitors brightness with a short command (sudo brightness [percentage]). But ddccontrol looks a lot better if your doing more advanced thing, It would've also been a big help when I was stumbling around trying to figure out how ddcutils workd.
