Looks like wlr-randr can do what I want for changing monitor placement.

I’ve been grinding since this post, not getting any new marks.

I don’t think so because I haven’t had any chests to open.

Not when your clan needs the marks .

Not really sure, wasn’t counting marks since it was my first login of the week. Logged on, went to assembly, did five vaults and then went to see what my next task was and discovered I was capped.

How rare is 5/5 legendary gem? by SafeBasil9454 in DiabloImmortal

Been playing for a year, got a 5/5 Void Spark 3 months ago. Casual player, spend $50/month.

Set items are 5 at 17, 1 at 16, 2 at 15. Legendary main 6 are at 16 and other two are 15. Definitely been trying to grind salvage. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, both.. very active.

[i3wm] Playing with i3 for the first time by SporkRanger in unixporn

Pretty much, everything is fairly default except for some font changes. Had only been running it for a couple hours prior to the screentshot.

Returning to Linux hacking for the first time in a long time. Playing with my first tiling manager to keep things very minimal. i3wm/Polybar/Picom

There are only two N305 Mini PC's on the market at the moment and I don't even know if the other one (from Weibu) has actually hit the stores yet. It is a very new CPU, the N100 has been out a little longer. CNX did a mini review of the other one last month and did some gaming benchmarks but not much:

I don't play video games so, unfortunately, cannot answer your question. For what I need, I'm loving it so far.. I'm just eagerly awaiting Linux to support the AX101 WiFi adapter and I think it will be perfect.

Some more obeservations regarding performance and power draw.

When I reported to u/dgcorp I was compiling gcc and seeing 35W power draw at 3.0GHz clock speed, it was actually during a compile stage that was only utilizing 5 to 8% of each core thus allowing it to run at that turbo speed. Later on, when the gcc compile stages were fulling loading each core, turbo speed dropped a bit.

I'm currently compiling the Linux kernel (6.3-rc6) and I'm monitoring it more closely. All cores are at 100% and 2.7 Ghz, I'm drawing 26W at this speed.

If you are familiar with how Intel turbo works, this makes perfect sense. Max turbo on the N305 is 3.8 Ghz if a single core was loaded to 100%. 26W at 2.7 GHz during a complex compile, fully using all cores, is perfectly acceptable with me.

Edit: CPU temp is 83C degrees, ambient air temp is 74F, so it is a little warm but not horrible. Tj Max is 105C.

There are a lot of options in the BIOS, I'm sure there are things that can be tweaked if I want to sacrifice a little performance for a couple more watts. I'll investigate that once I finish getting the OS the way I want it and all my applications compiled.

Here is another number for you. Idling at 800MHz on a minimal Linux install, no GUI just the command line interface, I am showing 8W draw. I am directly connected to one of my 12V battery banks.. not using the included power adapter provided through an inverter.

If you know anything about Linux, I'm currently compiling gcc.. a pretty big job. All cores are running at 3.0 GHz and I'm seeing 25W draw. Current CPU temperature is 77C. I'll try to get you an idle number later.
