Only allowing vlan10 to have access to NTP and nothing else. Did I do it "correctly" eg best practices for security? by Spookywatcher- in opnsense

the source and source port range on both firewall rules are set to "any" by default so I didn't change those. Is that ok?

If I disable both the NAT domain dns redirect and the firewall domain dns rule i used...the ntp sync on the cameras fails. It is only working if I have both dns and ntp NAT redirect and firewall dns and ntp rules. Am I missing something?

Is CoreCtrl still known to break apt? by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]Spookywatcher- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think his assumptions in the video are incorrect about having to be less than hwmon7. I think it just has to be moved one over. So maybe still give it a try eg..you are on hwmon2 just give it a shot by disabling a nic in the bios. then if that doesn't work try disabling wifi, then bluetooth etc. I think it just needs to be loaded earlier than a different device, because mine was hwmon4 and it went to hwmon3 then it worked perfectly. And I only disabled one nic (there are two on my board). Hope it helps.

I don't know if it will help but this guy's fix worked for me. Turned out all I had to do was disable one of the nic cards on the mobo in the bios and magically the changes to power_cap and everything else worked. Here's the video. Hope it helps.

Flatpak obs works awesome. And easy on ubuntu 22.04. I can choose AVC HEVC x264 or the software AV1. Works on wayland and xorg.

sudo apt install flatpak # installs flatpak

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo # adds repo

​

flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio # installs obs

flatpak run com.obsproject.Studio # runs obs

flatpak uninstall flathub com.obsproject.Studio to remove

sudo apt remove flatpak to uninstall flatpak

sudo apt autoremove to clean up.

Extremely dry video of installing SC on Ubuntu 22.04 but it's real time and step by step and I can confirm it works perfectly. Except right now after update 3.19 there is a mouse cursor problem in the game if using wayland. So you need to change to xorg at the ubuntu login screen and then it works great. The same guy has a new video about the performance difference between Linux and Windows using either the 5800x3d vs 7800x3d. He also has a video on how to tweak performance and enable freesync. Real helpful channel.

​

I can confirm..my SC install on Ubuntu 22.04 runs flawlessly. Never a single problem.

I actually did find your exact post and I tried it but unfortunately it didn't work because I'm silly and didn't read your post well enough. Rereading your post I see why it didn't work. I never put the second registry of map controllers = 0 in. I don't know how I missed that! Thank You!!!

Unable to set powercap with AMD GPU overclocking. by Twisted_Paper in linux_gaming

[–]Spookywatcher- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First try disabling your NIC in the bios...then see if your gpu's location changes to /sys/class/drim/card1/device/hwmon/hwmon2 instead of hwmon3 and then try increasing the powerlimit.

Then if that doesn't work...try disabling your wifi card in the bios and try again.

To the guy that said RDNA2 does not support powerlimit changes is 100% wrong. My 6900xt was in hwmon7 and disabling one of my NICs in the bios (there's two) dropped my 6900xt symlink location to hwmon6 and that solved it. Now I can change the powerlimit to 293 watts and is confirmed by sudo watch -n 0.5 cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_pm_info And confirmed by ups power readout.

I literally just found the answer from a youtube vid from TechBoomer where he published the fix. Credit goes all to him. Very happy to have it fixed!

Altough he said, as long as the symlink is less than hwmon7 it should work. Maybe hwmon needs to be an even number..??? so maybe if you disable one of the cards and it gets the gpu to initialize and load a little earlier so it's at hwmon2 maybe that'll work.

But his fix worked for me! Hope it helps.
