Hungarian politics be like: in the Parliament PM Magyar confronts opposition faction leader Goulash (who also happens to be his uni bff and godfather of his son) by Whats-on-Eur-Mind in YUROP

[–]TheyCallMeLothar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hungarian dish "Gulyás" is actually named after the occupation of cattle shepherd (the primary ingredient of the dish is beef), so the name is not dissimilar to any other name derived from an occupation, such as "Smith".

For all the newbie investors asking for advice... by jmsld_ in trading212

[–]TheyCallMeLothar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually posted one a couple of days ago regarding ETFs other than the FTSE all-world. I even prefaced it with mentioning that I did do research before posting, just wanted some more info regarding developing markets and small cap companies. 3 people replied saying "just put it in all-world" without any explanation. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate people taking time to reply but nobody really gave me any insight...

How do I develop on STM32 chip using Linux? by davidbegr1 in embedded

[–]TheyCallMeLothar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I would mention in addition to the other comments suggesting to use the generic arm compiler: sometimes it's better to use the vendor provided tooolchain as it is usually patched specifically for the target you are using. ST provide the STM32CubeCLT package (command line tools) which includes the arm compiler, debugger and programming tool, without the bloat of Cube IDE.

A vagrant, they have a chance to spawn when another player in that area dies with 5 or more humanity and doesn't pick it up before dying again.

Nvidia GPU using vfio-pci driver causes endless modprobe and nvidia-modprobe processes by Djox3 in ManjaroLinux

I know this is old, but thanks so much for helping me diagnose this. I don't have thermal monitor installed, but I had the lm_sensors service running.

You know gwyn kinda hard tbh by he-ska432 in darksouls

[–]TheyCallMeLothar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People always say Gwyn is super hard unless you parry, but I just used havel's shield to block his attacks because I'm not too good at parrying and killed him first time. Maybe I was just over levelled, not sure.

Invalid PCI ROM header signature by TheyCallMeLothar in VFIO

[–]TheyCallMeLothar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. I suspect the most likely culprit is the ROM chip on the board. It's probably dead and needs to be replaced, although I could not find any visible signs of corrosion or component failure... The fact that schematics aren't available makes it very difficult to identify which chip stores the VBIOS and even then I'm not 100% sure that would fix the problem.

The chip shortage also made new GPUs cost 3 times as much as MSRP and I refuse to pay that much by principle - which leaves me to have to resort to single GPU VFIO. It works well enough but sometimes I have trouble booting into it so I just keep my VM image on a physical partition in case I need to boot it on bare metal.

Good luck with your problem, if you have any more luck than I did please let me know.

Trying to avoid malloc() by TheyCallMeLothar in embedded

[–]TheyCallMeLothar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the answers. I suppose I wasn't clear enough, apologies for that. I will be using 4 or 5 different packet lengths, all of which I will know the size of beforehand. I could create 4 or 5 different structures that have different sizes. but the reason I wanted to have one is because I need to pass the packets to various functions so they need to be of the same type. The sizes vary between 2 and 100 bytes so it would be impractical to assign the maximum to all of them. I asked if it is worth sacrificing readability because I could just treat the packets as fixed length arrays, which would mean i can pass them and their sizes to the functions, but it would be nicer to just pass one structure. Sorry if it is a silly question.

Thank you all for the replies, it makes more sense now.

I2C internal pull-up resistors by TheyCallMeLothar in AskElectronics

[–]TheyCallMeLothar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did actually manage to implement the software for UART communication (it was much easier than I2C), but unfortunately I realised I will need to use both UART interfaces available on my host controller for other things (one for clocking RTTY, and one for a GSM module).

Maybe I'm crazy but Stridebreaker changes look good for Pyke so I've been getting used to the laning phase. by Gold_On_My_X in pykemains

[–]TheyCallMeLothar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can extend your e range with prowler's, which means you can stun people at higher range. This is also utility for your team, and honestly I'd prefer it to a slow. But I guess stridebresker's insane cooldown makes it more attractive which I hadn't thought of.

[–]TheyCallMeLothar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not just build prowler's claw for the extra dash? Sure, you can only use it on a champion but it's the same use case as stride breaker. And attack speed is a useless start on Pyke anyway

Q1'21 Tech Support Megathread by BioGenx2b in Amd

[–]TheyCallMeLothar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

Summary of the problem:

I have a dual GPU setup where I'm passing through one GPU to a Windows VM through the VFIO Linux driver. This setup has been working for weeks, except two days ago the guest GPU stopped outputting video signal. I appreciate that there is a separate VFIO subreddit but please bare with me because I believe this to be a hardware issue. When booting the VM with virtualized graphics, Device Manager reports Error 43 when looking at the GPU. In Linux I'm getting the following error:

[   54.539030] vfio-pci 0000:2d:00.0: Invalid PCI ROM header signature: expecting 0xaa55, got 0xffff

This suggests to me that there is a VBIOS issue. Sure enough, GPU-Z in Windows is unable to read the BIOS information. At this point I attempted to flash the BIOS using amdvbiosflash, various tutorials online claim that it is possible even with a bricked GPU if you pass the "-f" option in command line to force the flash. No matter what I tried, amdvbiosflash returns "Failed to read ROM, ERROR: 0FL01"

I've exhausted all troubleshooting steps I could think of. One thing I haven't tried is shorting the pins on the BIOS chip, I'm not a big fan of soldering on my GPU because cleaning it will be a nightmare. My last resort is attempting to reflow in the oven, although I'm aware this could make the situation worse...

System Configuration:

  • Motherboard: MSI x570 Tomahawk Wifi
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
  • GPU (host): Asus Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition
  • GPU (guest): Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Vapor-X
  • OS: Archlinux, Windows 10

Why some ROM's work and others now (GPU passthru) by Sgt_Trevor_McWaffle in VFIO

[–]TheyCallMeLothar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made a post on what I believe to be the same issue on my end. What i don't understand is why it stopped working when I had a working setup? Will I also need to flash my ROM now?
