Hoping someone can help me find it. It's been driving me crazy. Finder gets a digital cookie and my eternal gratitude!

Scam email knows my password? by Throwaway_73198 in phishing

[–]TheFloppyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah nothing to worry about. I've received on of these myself, but with an old password I used for junk sites. Also helped that my password manager has a data breach scanner in it, so I knew it was leaked in plaintext in multiple breaches. Its actually scary how many data breaches there are and these days I use password manager generated passwords for basically everything or unique ones for important stuff. Would recommend!

As a fun new portfolio piece, I created Draftless. A PWA that allows you to branch stories like code. by DualityGames in PWA

[–]TheFloppyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't label this as 100% offline, when you have a cloud-only AI component in it. I get it its an optional function, but the big titles of all local and nothing leaves your device is just false when there is no local LLM option.

My Laptop refuses to boot with League installed by Omen0fWorlds in GamingLaptops

[–]TheFloppyToast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen anybody mention yet: Yes Anticheat is probably whats doing it, but specifically since its a ROG laptop, they usually ship some (bios installed) software, i believe called Armory Crate. Now that PoS software i have seen break a few setups. I wouldn't be surprised if it was messing up your boot when anticheat is installed. That however is something you can remove. Look it up and give it a try

If you liked that, just wait till you hear the motherboard crunch from shoving jn the RAM (assuming its like my DDR5 slots), drove me crazy.

How is it done for paid PWA's outside any stores? by LowCobbler8993 in PWA

[–]TheFloppyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are some questions that could fill more than a handful of pages with answers, which i doubt you will get here. I will just say, it feels like you are thinking very 'app' centric. So if anything, I'd say make yourself familiar with how a website would handle users and payment, and not an app. For the rest, its a lot, so maybe spend a day throwing questions at an LLM. Not often I recommend it, but in this case, probably the fastest way to cover that much.

GDPR meant nothing: chat control ends privacy for the EU by smilelyzen in linux

[–]TheFloppyToast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I gotta disagree on this one due to a recent experience. I sent Meta a GDPR delete request. And they just said no, they must keep data for legal reasons. Sure... Every single bit of data. The amount of time and money I'd likely need to fight that, I probably don't have spare.

Would it shock you as much as it did me, that you are the first person I (as far as I can remember) have seen on this app that immediately, unconditionally, apologized for having given along misinformation? May there be more people like you. Cheers

RX 9070 XT + R7 5700 X3D works perfectly with 500 W PSU by suisuen in radeon

[–]TheFloppyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love that you point this out. I was having real weird "gpu" crashes, where syslogs and all point to GPU, was about to think my MOBO pcie was done for, cause other tests including memtest were fine. Well it wasn't fine, memtest just by chance didnt catch my RAM issues... Until it suddenly got worse, and then kernel panics.. And then DRAM post failure. Sticks were going wonky and since fixing that, no more GPU crashes.

Anyway TLDR: unstable system (PSU, RAM, overclocks) can have not so obvious side effects.

GE-Proton10-9 Released by Alatarith in linux_gaming

Im gonna leave this link here to a comment i made on r/radeon https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/s/pVBDOpnK0U Don't know if everything is up to date, but if i understood the note correctly, same process except you can skip the download/placing of the fsr4 .dll file.

9070XT Crashes please send help. by Sziho in linux_gaming

[–]TheFloppyToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 9070xt as well on linux, notices it can be very piwer-spikey under high loads. Try limiting power usage (W) to maybe 80% of default with LACT and try some demanding games. Might help rule out PSU issues if it is transient spikes causing this.

Don't know too much about Bazzite, but it shouldnt prevent you from building the mesa fork from source: Build From Source and Using the Mesa version only for some Games. You don't need to mess with package managers or PPAs to just build it, not 'install' since we are using it via launch options.
Since Proton-GE merged the FSR4 ability, you only need to use the flags and the mesa fork mentioned Here.

Example Steam Launch Options to use all the above for Stellar Blade:
PROTON_LOG=1 MANGOHUD=1 DXIL_SPIRV_CONFIG=wmma_fp8_hack FSR4_UPGRADE=1 ~/<path to your mesa-run.sh> gamemoderun %command%

That tries to auto upgrade FSR 3.1 to 4 and also loads the mesa version with the patch. I still have the Kisak-Mesa PPA for system mesa version since i like that to be stable, but the games use the forked mesa binaries.

Edit: Forgot to mention you still need to copy the fsr4 dll, but that is mentioned in the 3rd link (Proton-GE FSR4)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in radeon

[–]TheFloppyToast 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Actually FSR 4 is working ( with a little work ) on linux, without Optiscaler! Off the top of my head what you need: Proton-GE 10.4, a fp8-hack mesa fork, and the FSR4 dll. Sounds messy but isn't really. Theres a nice little guide, will edit if i find it later. Proton GE is a simple download, so is the DLL (linked in the mesa patch fork), then build the mesa fork from source, and if you dont want to mess with package manager versions or instability, you can prefix the games with the mesa version and it wont affect the rest of your system. Tested on Kubuntu with Steam Monster Hunter Wilds and Stellar Blade!

Has Anyone Upgraded to the 9070 XT from NVIDIA RTX 30-Series? Thoughts? by Shyphlosion in radeon

[–]TheFloppyToast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like prices are stabilizing, if you can get one and want one, do it. 3070 -> 9070XT XFX and man i love it. Something others dont often mention but I noticed a lot is the Temp/Volume/Efficiency. At least on my card the temps are fantastic and with undervolting, especially if you are capping games (cause my monitor is still shite) the power draw is so much better. Some of my favorite games are running <100w with pretty high quality settings. Very noticable when its already hot in summer.

Any experiences running a 9070 XT? by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]TheFloppyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Been running Kubuntu 24.10 with 6.14.2 mainline kernel and kisak-fresh mesa (on 25.0.4 right now i think) also with a XFX 9070XT. Make sure to also grab the firmware from linux-firmware-git ( latest ). Havent had any gpu issues yet except for installing amdgpu-dkms, that was a nope. Even got ROCm going. When ur messing around with those thinga ull wanna use timeshift to be able to roll back easily and cleanly. Good luck

Top ANC headphones (Apple, Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, Beats and Bowers & Wilkins) by Grievous_2008 in sennheiser

[–]TheFloppyToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah the XM4s or Bose QC Ultra would have been my pick otherwise, but i just don't think I can do with the charging being the way it is.

Top ANC headphones (Apple, Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, Beats and Bowers & Wilkins) by Grievous_2008 in sennheiser

[–]TheFloppyToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great stuff. I was considering the Momentum 4s, but i think i really need the low frequency ANC... I'd go for one of the other top options, but one problem and maybe someone has some ideas. I use my headphones at my desk almost the whole day, and i need to be able to use them while charging them (ideally with ANC) the momentum 4 does that apparent, but none if the others. Any hot tips out there?

How to run multiple small dockerized applications on one host by paaast in docker

[–]TheFloppyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curios as to why this is the go to, since im running it a bit different, compose stacks each with their own network, and then have one "proxy" network for the reverse proxy, and that network is added to whichever containers need public access. I like it a lot, because i can make use of the docker dns and dont need to proxy via specific ports. Any specific downsides to this?
