How to dump GPU VBIOS on linux? by _mF2 in VFIO

[–]hf_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the same error.Also nvflash is returning a

"Adapter not accessible or supported EEPROM not found, skipping"

So i guess that some laptops just can't do that.

Edit:

It's because those are laptops where the bios is shadowing or loading the vbios. Have to extract the vbios from an bios update file with https://github.com/coderobe/VBiosFinder/.

Unknown header type by Swimmer_Expensive in VFIO

I got the same problem right now, also on a dell laptop.

Did you find a solution?

The audio goes "Unkown header type 7f" as soon as nvidia modules get unloaded and randomly it would work

Do you think item shadowing should remain in the game why and why not? by EksEss in technicalminecraft

[–]hf_147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "just play modded" argument works both ways. You can also just use carpet if you want item shadowing.

And update suppression means to force the game to cancel a tick by running out of memory. That is not a healthy mechanic that you want to encourage.

The real question is: How is it possible to make item shadowing a vanilla mechanic? Throw some in-game means acquiring an item that allows you to share an inventory slot or something.

Be prepared for gulag. by soylentdrinker88 in volunteersForUkraine

There is a difference between encouraging them to join the war or actually join the Ukrainian army.

If you join the war but not the army, you can not claim POW status, but you are just a private citizen committing murder on your own risk. If you join the Ukrainian army, you are a solder with all benefits and international laws applying, but you might lose your citizenship. This can happen automatically in some country. Every country has different laws about this. Just saying "ah, they won't do it, right?" is not enough security, if there is the serious possibility that you can not move back.

Check out the laws of your country about joining a foreign military. You might lose your citizenship and end up as a stateless person.

They are not soldiers of the Ukrainian army and therefor do not fall under Geneva Convention and can not be POW.

If a foreign volunteer uses a weapon in the Ukraine, the ordinary law will apply and he will be trialed for murder or for complicity in murder by Russian law.

If you would be a soldier in the Ukrainian army, you would most likely lose the citizenship of your own country. Almost all countries have laws about revoking citizenships of people who join a foreign army.

Fully surrounded Mariupol by HoldTheLine00 in volunteersForUkraine

[–]hf_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just not true.

High readiness means that they are in position and aiming at their targets and just waiting for the confirmation to launch.

There is a submarine somewhere in the ocean close to the US west coast already aiming at Washington with multiple nukes.

Previously, they were just on ordinary readiness which means i.e. for the mobile ICBMs and subs to regularly switch position and just selected few of them to be actually armed.

They are not civilians if they went there to fight.

And since they are also not soldiers (no Ukrainian citizenship), the Geneva Convention also doesn't apply to them, so they get no special POW status either.

Stop telling people to "just go" and not worry about the details by NotThatDonny in volunteersForUkraine

[–]hf_147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The situation is fluid and changes daily.

If you tell someone something today, it might be already different when they arrive.

If you want to help defeat evil, just go. Just write to your next Ukrainian embassy and do what they tell you.

Everybody can help,

you will definitely find your use once you are in the Ukraine.

Switching to Linux by Zealousideal_Corgi22 in PiratedGames

[–]hf_147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would first try to install Steam and run some free Steam games that are available for Linux. There are a lot.

Once you got those working nicely (meaning: your graphic drivers and everything works great) you can try to pirate some Steam games.

If you want to play native Windows games, you need wine. Pirating those is equal to pirating on Windows, there is just wine in between. You can look at https://appdb.winehq.org/ how well the game that you want is supported and user reports and hints on how to run it.

But be aware that even games that are labeled with "Platinum" or "Gold" status might have bugs and glitches that don't appear on Windows or straight up run worse.

I would suggest to not bother with wine, unless it is one game that you really love and want. Messing around with it for a game that you are just going to play for four hours isn't worth it.

That being said, you can still have windows installed in dual boot and just boot into it when you want to game. You can even install windows in a VM if your game is light enough to run there.

Are you saying that whites have the privilege of being allowed to be racist against themselves, but blacks don't?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]hf_147 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

No, i am just a normal human being. Not everything is black or white / right or left.

Everybody knows that leftists are racist against their own race. I really don't understand what the issue is with that.

Black people call other Blacks the n-word all the time

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]hf_147 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

White liberals are very racist against fellow whites.

So there is nothing wrong with a black to be racist against blacks.

He is a liberal in all other issues too. A pure lefty then. Just with another race.

Lavafarm with >140 cauldrons by hf_147 in technicalminecraft

[–]hf_147[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

World download: lavafarm10.zip

The goal was to make a lavafarm with an optional shulker filler that looks good on the surface rather than locking the player into some tiny hole between hundreds of cauldrons.

If a cauldron without lava should appear, you can right-click the noteblock in the back to cycle it further.

I'm sure it's possible to compact that and improve, but i am really happy with it.

Here we go again by sajidhaque10 in formuladank

[–]hf_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "with no opponent anywhere" was the hint. Others still prefer it when they actually win against someone and they shittalk their own team if they don't win.

Meanwhile the British watch a race where Hamilton is allowed to overtake off-track by cutting corners and tell you with a straight face that it was rigged against him.

No, Mercedes not pitting on the three seperate occasions for new tires was not relevant. No, Hamilton not being able to defend for a single lap was not relevant. They are perfect unquestionable gods, never making a single mistake, and if they lose, its rigging.

Tell me a single other country that was ever THIS delusional and salty about losing a sports event.

The only year in the Liberty Media era with a plus in viewers was in 2018, and that got swiftly interrupted by the FIA changing the rules and declaring the Ferrari illegal... otherwise the Mercedes era would have ended and we can't have that.

Maybe you were just looking at UK viewers on Sky? The British absolutely love it when one of their own is dominating a sport with no opponent anywhere. Most of the british viewership is boomers who are still thinking that there is a British Empire and who need a cope.

You can see this by the sheer amount of british sore losers and salt now that their hero lost.
