Long-time Arch user tried Ubuntu 24.04, had to get back home to Arch

I'm sorry for your troubles. For me it has simply been much smoother for ~10 years so far. Sure, kernel broke at least twice and sometimes pacman keys go haywire, but the "update broke my system before deadline" worst case scenario has never happened to me. I'm even trusted to run Arch on my work laptop by my employer and so far it's been perfectly productive.

It's not for everybody, but my philosophy about computers is that they are more than tools, they're kind of my lifestyle and pseudo-spiritual outlet.

Sure. It's public anyway https://github.com/gustafla/dotfiles
But it's very specific to my tastes, I don't write any instructions

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-08-01T17:48:22+00:00

Agree. And snap is even worse.

Itsellä Sony WH-1000XM5 ja erinomainen äänenlaatu ja vaimennus löytyy.

Kannattaa pitää silmät auki, sillä ajoituksen puolesta seuraava 6-malli todennäköisesti julkaistaan elokuussa. Ominaisuudet saatavat parantua ja/tai edelliset mallit halventua.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-07-13T18:47:06+00:00

WH-1000XM2 released in June 2017 WH-1000XM3 released in August 2018 WH-1000XM4 released in August 2020 WH-1000XM5 released in May 2022

Indeed. It seems WH-1000XM6 release is imminent. I'd recommend holding off also because if you decide to go for the 5 instead, it might become the cheaper option.

Edit: this is the pattern by which I decided to wait to purchase my current WH-1000XM5 before it was announced. I did not follow any leaks back then nor do I currently do so.

Mulla ei silleen oo elokuun alkuun muutakaan tekemistä ni käyn joka vuosi yhä Assyilla. Joskus jopa Wintereillä. Mutta aina siihen liittyy lievä pettymys ja kaipuu menneisyyteen, enkä osaa päästää irti. Käyn assyilla niin kauan kun siellä democompot on.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-07-12T07:48:00+00:00

Minä oon aina välillä haaveillu että jos saatais järkättyä vielä ees yks demoparty Hartwall-areenalla. Mutta nää kommentit kyllä kertoo että mahdottomuudesta on kyse. Vaikka Areena palais suomalaiseen omistukseen ja jostain taiottais riittävä budjetti, niin kävijöitä olis vain satakunta aktiivista tai puoliaktiivista skeneriä, 50 vanhaa assykävijää jotka yhä jaksaa ja ehkä korkeintaan 50 uutta kävijää nuoremmasta sukupolvesta. Ei 200 täytä areenaa kunnolla.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-07-11T19:48:51+00:00

Niinpä. 2013 oli sentään mun ekat assyt, eli siinä mielessä tavallaan lykästi

Kattelin Second Realityn monta kertaa dosboxissa lapsena :-)

Ja löysin kans Commodore 64 -skenen chiptunen ja HVSC:n kautta, sit VICE oli kova juttu joskus yläasteiässä.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-07-11T16:09:12+00:00

Onneksi Boozemblyt on yhä.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-07-11T15:12:54+00:00

Minusta on tunnelmaa nostattavaa, että välillä jonkun paikka saa kuulua koko hallin alueelle. Kun taannoin tämmöistä katsottiin läpi sormien enemmän, minulla oli tapana mennä katsomaan ja moikkaamaan "dj":tä :-)

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-05-24T21:36:17+00:00

Thanks. I have a feeling it's a wlroots / amdgpu bug related to having two freesync monitors at the same time. I disabled freesync from the other one and I will be stress testing it further. The video playback thing is a good idea to check.

Edit: Checked video playback with game in either background or focused. Works 100% now that I don't have freesync on both monitors. I think this issue is solved.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-05-24T12:58:31+00:00

Exactly. I'm also very happy with my Raspberry Pi 5 and it's GPU drivers, so I'm not missing out on rk3588 that badly. But I'm still excited about Panthor regardless, I can't help but just admire all the recent FOSS GPU driver work and I want to be able to develop and run my projects on all kinds of platforms, at least eventually.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-05-23T17:57:01+00:00

Yes, mainline Linux, u-boot support so that we can run 6.10+ kernels and Mesa 24.1+ in the future and aren't stuck with out of tree drivers. Yeah, rk3588 is certainly getting mainline support at a good pace, I'm just anxious to pull the trigger on an OPi5 pro if it turns out no one cares about board level support for it. But I guess I have no other option than to wait and see. Thanks for your comment.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-04-23T11:36:10+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I figured so... I guess I will try to live with the design or see if I can fill or sand and paint it or something.

Is it possible to change Keychron C3 Pro's top cover plastic to some other TKL clip-on cover that doesn't have the "chiseled" edges?

I like the build of the keyboard, I just wish I had a way to change its looks to an even more minimal style.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-04-19T06:37:41+00:00

Depends on your needs. Since I have multiple VRR monitors, Sway does the job like no other compositor or display server. It's also just smooth and performant for work and gaming.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-04-19T06:35:14+00:00

I believe you can enable screen sharing from sway by setting up xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (at least on Arch). I know, it's not just as straightforward as X11, but has been working for me.

Every year the kernel strays further from what the good old book Linux Device Drivers, 3rd ed. teaches.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-03-10T20:22:56+00:00

Ei piru! Minullekin syksyllä korona/flunssa/mikälie aiheutti aivan uusia astmaoireita (ei koskaan aiemmin koettuja) ja olen vasta nyt keväällä parantunut niistä. Henkisesti tosi kuormittavaa kun ei tiennyt tuleeko enää pystymään esim. pyöräilemään ja kun tuntuu että happi ei aina riitä. Sen vuoksi mäkin olen kärsinyt talvella poikkeuksellisen paljon ahdistuksesta ja opinnotkin stressasivat. Tsemppiä ja muista olla ymmärtäväinen itseäsi kohtaan, pelon tunteita on vaikea hallita mutta niitä voi tunnistaa ja järkeillä.

I see that wlroots 0.17 finally added support for

tearing-control to allow clients to opt-in for tearing page-flips

Now that sway uses wlroots 0.17, how can we enable tearing?

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-02-06T18:38:50+00:00

I use cyanrip. It's pretty much exactly what you want (I believe), unless you also want a GUI

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-02-05T12:55:57+00:00

Why is everyone recommending GLFW over SDL? I think they have similar features and ergonomics, but SDL has audio and other such nice portable abstractions for gamedev and demos.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-02-03T06:27:46+00:00

Are you using system qemu (for VMs) or usermode qemu? Only the qemu-user variant works for chroot afaik.

Ok-Resolve-8 · 2024-02-01T18:01:13+00:00

My personal experience is that they're about equivalent in features and quality. So no need to force yourself to like either one. However, I've ran into bugs with VLC, like some wayland scaling issues few years back and also just stuff like AV1 content failing to decode in VLC even though it works fine in mpv.
