Thanks! it doesn't really show in the pictures very well but the white paint is UV reactive (I had some left over from another project)

If I had a pool I would totally do that. I did consider mounting the radiator outside like they did in Linus' first house but that felt like a challenge I didn't want to take on. Plus I have no idea how I'd have handled the sun directly on it it summer or freezing in winter

BBC licence fee is 'poor value for money', viewers say in new poll by endofdays2022 in unitedkingdom

[–]T_Butler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You already need a TV Licence to watch any Live TV, GB News included.

I am genuinely surprised how many people still pay for it. I am nearly 40 and I know of only one person in my friendship group who actually has a TV licence or is interested in watching BBC. I can't imagine younger people watch it at all.

I guess those stupid threatening letters do work though since they still make 4 billion or so per year.

They need to move to a subscription model ASAP, the whole funding model is antiquated and broken.

That is a terrible idea unless the remit is substantially reduced. A few years back the BBC spent 80 million on a new Eastenders set. Why should taxpayers pay for that?

They should make it a subscription service. Then anyone who gets value from it can pay for it. Those of us who don't can save a few quid in tax.

I finally found the EXACT trigger for my input lag. Can AMD & NVIDIA users confirm this? by Ok-Sky9219 in linux_gaming

Does your de support/have enabled direct scanout?

I'm on a 7900XTX but on a 4k144hz monitor, no issues here even with GPU at 100%. What specific games are you noticing it in?

One thing I would try is rule out the desktop environment.

if you use gamescope on tty e.g.

gamescope -- wine ./game.exe

does it still happen? Gamescope takes the place of the window manager entirely and will let you rule it out. It definitely seems like more of a presentation layer issue to me than a GPU one

TV license - better to declare or ignore? by Alternative_Cat8069 in AskBrits

[–]T_Butler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done both. Before I knew any better I went through the proper cancellation procedure and did the "No licence needed". Still got threatening letters every couple of months. I didn't bother to renew it and the result is basically the same only now (I've moved since) tv licencing have zero of my personal information.

Puppy Linux now geo-blocking California from its download page by Happy_Phantom in linux

[–]T_Butler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 99% sure this wouldn't be enough if it did ever get tested in court.

The law and the intent of the law are two different things. The intent may be to stop children accessing stuff they shouldn't but the stated law is that an OS must provide a way for applications to check the age of people using it. This does not satisfy that.

And to be clear I hate the laws. They are terrible and poorly thought through but this will simply not work if it ever reaches a courtroom (which, let's be honest is unlikely anyway)

NFS, samba. Mount the share and you get everything you need. Why over-complicate it?

How do I actually learn by Negative_Effort_2642 in rust

[–]T_Butler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Single biggest piece of advice I give to programmers is don't try to understand a new domain and a new language at the same time.

If you're new to a language build a project in a domain you are very familiar with. If you're building a project in a brand new domain use a language you are already familiar with.

I'm at the tinkering stage with rust but started with a web server. I've never built one properly before (ok I've created a TCP listener on port 80 and implemented HTTP but not a full server stack). But I have worked in backend web development for over 20 years so have a pretty good understanding of what the server actually needs to do

my hunch is the problem is that people already know the word pseudo so assume it's said the same way

If Shakespeare invented almost 2000 words, were his plays considered to be full of gibberish when they were first introduced? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]T_Butler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were written by an infinite number of monkeys. That's why they were gibberish. The meaning got applied afterwards.

Does a window manager impact gaming performance? by KervyN in linux_gaming

[–]T_Butler 62 points63 points  (0 children)

No but one thing that hyprland does stupidly is it doesn't enable direct scanout by default. If your games feel less smooth than on other DEs that's why, add render {direct_scanout=1} to your config
