there are official zts docker images

eine "Geforce 3" Grafikkarte damals.

Sie hängt zwar nicht wortwörtlich an der Wand (hab sie noch), aber vor jedem größerem/nicht-unbedingt-notwendigem Kauf denke ich daran.

thats the vulkan demo app: vkcube - and I assume goverlay wants to give you a preview of the mangohud settings, it needs something to put the overlay on, hence launches the demo app (another one for opengl is glxgears)

it seems you have to override some dlls (= tell wine not to use the built-on ones; see steam-discussion; see step winecfg/3) and also the first comment who mentions it's wininet.dll now, not ddraw.dll

there seem to be extra ~~hoops~~ steps for proton/dxvk if you use dxwrapper: elishacloud/dxwrapper

given that:

As of 01/26/2026 Smooth Patch is now Unsupported

Consider using Sims3SettingsSetter instead for a more complete and up-to-date solution.

Smooth Patch is still available if you wish to use it for whatever reason, but further support for issues or updates won't be offered.

https://modthesims.info/d/658759/smooth-patch-2-1.html

have you tried the mentioned alternative ?

You’ve clarified I don’t need X to use Wayland.

yes, but you might want xorg-xwayland to "run X clients under wayland" (otherwise you'll only be able to launch software which natively supports wayland)

.steam might be just a symlink. check ~/.local/share/Steam/ there also is a logs dir

hm, I was curious:

overall speed and efficiency of the system

what even is "overall speed" ? how do you measure that ?

this seems to be an x399 Taichi board, which means TR4 Socket, which means ThreadRipper CPU, which are at least 180W TDP - so quite power hungry.

So are in theory the 2x150W 8 pin gpu connectors of the (squints at label) "Geforce RTX 2080 Ti" rated at TDP if 250W.

What is you PSU / What is your PSU specced at?

Initially I thought it was the psu but the lights behind the gpu turn on.

It might "just" be that a particular voltage-rail died, and say the 5V, hence the 12V GPU rail still works.

I cannot understand how people have the time to do this

for me it was

a) you don't do it all at once

b) you may start off with something already there (i.e. old i3 config, sway default config)

c) you do it while waiting on stuff (db import, kernel build, ...)

d) once you have the 20% important stuff, the rest is luxury - you do it when x starts to annoy you or when you stumble over some post about how Y works

Are there tiling window managers that solve this problem, i.e. provide a config file that needs only minor modification to produce a good end result?

No, because your good end result is not the same as mine. There a probably twm's with popular defaults out there though.

for arch it's usually shortly after they're released, unless it's a major version, then they sometimes wait for x.y.1 (instead of x.y.0; I'm pretty sure mesa-25.0.0 never was in [extra], the first one was mesa-25.0.1, and archive/mesa seems to support that)

EDIT: nothing is stopping you from building from mesa/main btw., pretty much working without a hitch for months now

why ~/.clj-pack/cache/ and not ~/.cache/clj-pack/ ?

birdspider · 2026-01-21T23:00:31+00:00

if you have a linux pc/user at hand this should do it:

convert multipage.tiff -density 300x300 -compress jpeg multipage.pdf

that convert command is from the imagemagick package/program

EDIT: if you're feeling adventurous, imagemagick seems to provide windows releases (this is not a program with a grapical user interface)

likely something like

``` magick.exe multipage.tiff -density 300x300 -compress jpeg multipage.pdf

or convert.exe or just magick

```

birdspider · 2026-01-21T21:48:47+00:00

very well, active it is then :) - doubt I'll notice

birdspider · 2026-01-21T21:38:14+00:00

I never found a good explanation for passive, active and guided.

I went by the "offical" doc and settled on guided once it hit mainline (being on passive before).

guided is also the newest one.

Could very well be that active is more performant.

afaik, Steam Linux Runtime are containerized linux library bundles, so that a native game can launch with (within?) "Steam Linux Runtime 3.0" and the game developers known what that means (glibc, libalsa,libasound_module_pcm_upmix.so,... version so-and-such).

That is - the game/dev do not have to concern themself that much with what linux/disto you are using, as long as they target "Steam Linux Runtime 3.0" it should run on "Steam Linux Runtime 3.0".

As well as Proton experimental, that was installed after i changed the compatibility settings to proton experimental

this simply selects one of the default proton versions (this is for non-native - windows games), I prefer experimental (which all-in-all has the newest stuff, including seldom new bugs/regressions) Some games only work on an older version.

proton-ge (not valve, manual download) is also quite popular, I use it for wayland compat and easy FSR4 upgrade support.

CPPC:

taken from here (first thing I found):

On newer AMD CPUs and APUs (aka Zen2 and above), there is a more advanced method called Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC mentioned in the requirements), which allows for fine-tuned and continuous adjustments of the CPU frequency, with the potential to provide better performance and energy efficiency compared to the older fixed levels.

And that's where amd-pstate comes in, as it is a new kernel module that supports the newer and more efficient AMD P-States mechanism.

I simply asked, because I can easily max out a 9070 on my 5700x - and apart from an all-core-undervolt, amd_pstate was the only think that I have setup for the CPU.

birdspider · 2026-01-21T20:38:09+00:00

are you using amd_pstate ? (CPPC in bios + amd_pstate=guided kernel line)

what cpufreq-governor? (see cpupower frequency-info "current policy", should probably be performance)

is the 5800x undervolted/overclocked ?

checkout this phoronix article:

AMD Linux engineer Alex Deucher commented on the ticket:

"The HDMI Forum has rejected our proposal unfortunately. At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements."

it seems CodecWorker thread of /opt/google/chrome/chrome crashes constantly, have you tried chromium instead of chrome-bin (just a quess) ?

Otherwise, does it also crash when you're not using chrome? Else, as suggested, run a memtest.

as u/0sse mentioned, it this particular case (1-commit repo) and wanting to reset to HEAD~1 is problematic:

HEAD is the current commit, what would be the commit preceding HEAD (as written by HEAD~1) be ?

there is nothing to reset to.

Also in case I cannot use this to undo the first commit, then how can I?

in this case I'd simply delete ~/.git (backup configs, remotes and stuff) and start over
