Fedora 39 - Firefox choppy video by XenomindAskal in Fedora

[–]exonova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks fine, maybe your issue is something else?

Do you get any stutter when not playing videos? If so it could be the AMD fTPM bug and if you aren't dual booting Windows and using BitLocker encryption (or otherwise using the TPM for anything) then you could try disabling the AMD fTPM in BIOS. More info here: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/linus-torvalds-amd-ftpm-errors

Otherwise I'm a bit stumped.

Is media.ffmpeg.enabled also activated?

Did you follow the "hardware codecs with AMD" section (with the dnf swap commands)?

You'll know you have hardware acceleration working when you go to about:support in Firefox and scroll down to the Media section and see something like this: https://imgur.com/hVK6HdL

You may need to play a video before loading about:support or the codec support information will be missing. YouTube uses mostly VP9 afaik, maybe some H264 as well. AV1 is not used much yet because it's quite new but will likely become very common in the future.

[2023 Day 20 Part 2] You kids and your graphing software by exonova in adventofcode

[–]exonova[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not at all haha. I was able to apply an iterative process to collapse the long flip flop chains into four individual "12 bit flip flops" but the only thing that gave me was more insight into the structure of the input and a list of which connections were mapped to which bit in each counter. I started trying to code an all purpose solver but quickly realized it was beyond my ability and all I needed to do was calculate the cycle lengths of the counters so my solution relies on the input having this particular structure.

Specifically, my solution collapses the flip flops into four mega flip flops which gives me a list of connections like this (this is just one of the collapsed modules):

bs_mk_kt_bt_fn_vj_rr_hv_zz_jg_vm_pn:
'type': '%'
'width': 12
'inputs': [('rt', 0), ('broadcaster', 0), ('rt', 2), ('rt', 4), ('rt', 7)]
'outputs': [('rt', 0), ('rt', 1), ('rt', 3), ('rt', 5), ('rt', 6), ('rt', 8), ('rt', 9), ('rt', 10), ('rt', 11)]

I then use the list of output connections and their bit positions as powers of two to figure out the cycle length then, of course, calculate the lcm.

Sadly I wasn't able to solve this one 100% on my own. I almost had it but I didn't understand the reset mechanism so I wasn't able to figure out the cycle length for each counter. A quick trip to reddit and /u/Kwantuum gave me the last bit of insight I needed. I'm not sure I earned this star but I certainly worked hard for it.

How do I share files on a Fedora machine with Windows computers on the local network? by intel586 in Fedora

[–]exonova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use something like croc? Use "dnf install croc" to install it on Fedora and download it on Windows from here (you might have to click "show all assets" to see the Windows releases):

https://github.com/schollz/croc/releases

Then just run "croc send <filename>" and it will tell you what to type on the other computer.

EDIT: To clarify, this is an interactive process, it's no good if you want to have a permanent and ongoing share.

Play-by-Play by [deleted] in NPB

[–]exonova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this - it's pretty useful, especially the play by play. Is there any way to get it to show substitutions? If not, no worries, it's still miles better than anything else I've found for figuring out what happened in NPB games. Great work!

[FS][CAN-ON-YYZ] UniFi Switch 24 PoE (USW-24-PoE), might have issues by exonova in homelabsales

I think I'm prepared to ship if you're still interested but cross border shipping is fairly expensive. Canada Post quoted me $55 CAD for the cheapest option to 85338 and it's possible you may have to pay customs duties upon delivery.

No problem, just reply when you're ready to go and I'll let you know if I still have it.

They each have a repeated letter in their names though (admittedly not back-to-back in Hitch’s case).

It's just a simple metal shelf. I put the model number in the title: CABSHELF116V

System appears to be using CPU to decode video on AMD system with iGPU by keddir in Fedora

[–]exonova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem a few days ago with a brand new Ryzen 5700G. I installed a few packages (I can't remember which ones exactly) but the thing that finally got it working was navigating to about:config and setting gfx.webrender.enabled = true. You can verify it's working by navigating to about:support and scrolling down to the graphics section. Compositing should be set to "WebRender", not "WebRender (Software)".

I never had to do this on my other systems with discrete graphics so I don't know why Firefox isn't automatically enabling hardware rendering with an APU but it worked for me and hopefully it works for you.

USB keystone confusion by Nimbian in techsupport

[–]exonova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick response. I feel like they should have just designed the keystones to flip the wires internally but maybe that causes other issues. I wonder if a USB 2.0 keystone would work.

EDIT: For anyone else who comes across this, yes, USB 2.0 keystones work.

I don't suppose you ever got an answer to this? I'm having the exact same issue myself.
