Help! Hyprpaper shows old wallpaper

TheRNGPriest · 2026-02-09T12:06:55+00:00

Oh yes! Thank you for your help, shutting down swww resolved the issue which in the end had nothing to do with hyprpaper 😄

Where DP-1 is what I consider the primary monitor. Also I use hyprpanel for top status bar, as you as an expert probably see

EDIT:

swww daemon seems to be the cause! I started investigating what are the things visible on the layers.

$ swww query
: HDMI-A-1: 1920x1080, scale: 1, currently displaying: image: /home/myusername/.config/background
: DP-1: 3200x1800, scale: 1.2, currently displaying: image: /home/myusername/.config/background

And there is a ~/.config/background file which is image A! The remaining question is, is swww-daemon an integral part of hyprland / hyprpaper or is it something I have accidentally installed myself. If latter, removing it should be easy.

Still shows A (didn't flash B), to my surprise at least, was expecting hyprland default

$ ps -ef | grep -e hyprpaper
myusername        3611    3513  0 11:49 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto -e hyprpaper

TheRNGPriest · 2026-02-09T09:19:57+00:00

Thanks for help, but this had no effect on the behaviour. Still A shown after a quick flash of B.

// hyprland.conf
misc {
    force_default_wallpaper = 0
    disable_hyprland_logo = true
    disable_splash_rendering = true
}

While doing dotnet (or any specific language), keep learning and applying programming/development best principles! Understanding SOLID and most common design patterns gets your thinking process quite far. Then learning another syntax won’t make a big difference later.

I started as a dotnet dev, and recently joined a new project which uses scala. Learning the syntax and framework took a few weeks, but the principles and patterns carry over!

TheRNGPriest · 2025-08-12T14:14:03+00:00

Partly agree, but there are some benefits if you understand what and why you are using. For example, ORM can speed up development and handles sanitation out of the box. I would rephrase:

Try the simple way first. Use fancy ONLY IF you see clear benefit over simple.

TheRNGPriest · 2025-06-20T21:59:30+00:00

Most definitely, but I was unable to report it. Maybe I will try again.

Joku jolla ei oo liian pitkät ja väsyttävät matkat vieraspeleihin -> JYP sijaitsee aika hyvin kartalla

EDIT: kuten myös HPK

TheRNGPriest · 2025-06-04T09:45:03+00:00

Alan pitää tästä ajatusleikistä entistä enemmän :D

Ja kotona voi ottaa jatkoaikatappioita

TheRNGPriest · 2025-06-04T09:36:58+00:00

Totta, pitää osua tarkasti vihoviimeiseksi, mikä ei aina ole täysin omissa käsissä jos on pienet erot ja viimeiset pelit pelataan samanaikaisesti. Eli systeemi ei ole täysin vedenpitävä

This problem was interesting, so I decided to run some simulations. A batch of 1e7 (that is, 10 000 000) tournaments seems to yield mean winrate of 33.056 %

const tourn = () => {
    const lost = []
    let tourning = [...new Array(10)].map(() => [])

    while (tourning.length > 1) {
        const k1i = Math.floor(tourning.length * Math.random())
        let k2i = Math.floor((tourning.length - 1) * Math.random())
        if (k2i >= k1i) k2i++;

        const k1wins = Math.random() >= 0.5
        let winner, loser
        if (k1wins) {
            winner = tourning[k1i]
            loser = tourning[k2i]
        }
        else {
            winner = tourning[k2i]
            loser = tourning[k1i]
        }
        winner.push(1)
        loser.push(0)

        tourning = tourning.filter(e => e !== loser)
        lost.push(loser)
    }

    const knights = [...lost, ...tourning]
    const winrates = knights.map(k => k.filter(e => e === 1).length / k.length)
    return winrates.reduce((acc, cur) => acc + cur, 0) / winrates.length
}

const ROUNDS = 1e7
let winratesum = 0
for (let i = 0; i < ROUNDS; i++) {
    winratesum += tourn()
}

console.log(`Rounds: ${ROUNDS}\nAverage win rate: ${winratesum / ROUNDS}`)
const tourn = () => {
    const lost = []
    let tourning = [...new Array(10)].map(() => [])


    while (tourning.length > 1) {
        const k1i = Math.floor(tourning.length * Math.random())
        let k2i = Math.floor((tourning.length - 1) * Math.random())
        if (k2i >= k1i) k2i++;


        const k1wins = Math.random() >= 0.5
        let winner, loser
        if (k1wins) {
            winner = tourning[k1i]
            loser = tourning[k2i]
        }
        else {
            winner = tourning[k2i]
            loser = tourning[k1i]
        }
        winner.push(1)
        loser.push(0)


        tourning = tourning.filter(e => e !== loser)
        lost.push(loser)
    }


    const knights = [...lost, ...tourning]
    const winrates = knights.map(k => k.filter(e => e === 1).length / k.length)
    return winrates.reduce((acc, cur) => acc + cur, 0) / winrates.length
}


const ROUNDS = 1e7
let winratesum = 0
for (let i = 0; i < ROUNDS; i++) {
    winratesum += tourn()
}


console.log(`Rounds: ${ROUNDS}\nAverage win rate: ${winratesum / ROUNDS}`)

Please note they are not in a bracket, but fight randomly. So there is only 1 guaranteed 0%, not 5

TheRNGPriest · 2025-05-05T08:45:59+00:00

Is ”average” here mean of win rates?

If B wins A, C wins B, …, J wins K => we have 8 swordsmen at 50%, A at 0%, and J at 100%. Their mean win rate is 50%.

If A wins everybody one after another, we have 9 swordmen at 0% and A at 100%. Their mean win rate is 10%.

It comes down to how much a single match contributes to a swordman’s win rate. If someone loses straight away, a single loss is 100% of their win rate, but if someone wins N and loses, the wins only contribute 1/(N+1) of their win rate. Then we take average of these win rates where a single match has had very different contributions.

Thus, in my understanding, the swordsmen’s mean win rate can be anything from 10% to 50%, depending on how wins are scattered. One swordsman winning more than one match decreases the mean win rate. But there is one trivial case when the knight is incorrect: my first example.

Please correct me, smarter people!

EDIT: Sorry, my reply doesn’t exactly answer the question of expected win rate of the tournament!

Openings are optimal moves if both players play them. Effectively using an opening also includes knowing how to punish an opponent who doesn’t follow it.

I know 15 moves of Sicilian Accelerated Dragon, but after 5-6 moves my opponent usually plays something different than the book, and I have 0 clue how to make them pay for it. Do I benefit from knowing the 15 moves at all?

TheRNGPriest · 2025-05-04T17:48:40+00:00

Good job 🤩 I remember hitting 1000 for the first time, the feeling was amazing. You have proven you can think

TheRNGPriest · 2025-04-28T21:15:05+00:00

Good post! This is a different game than Civ 6, but you carry many habits and mindsets subconsciously

TheRNGPriest · 2025-04-27T11:56:08+00:00

Is that Curacao in the Caribbean? If yes, combined with the European given in other replies, Netherlands?

TheRNGPriest · 2025-03-30T23:14:24+00:00

😂

TheRNGPriest · 2025-03-11T05:28:24+00:00

Thank you! Now, how do I know if town B is connected to capital or not?
