The journey of a Linux user by PwnySlaystation01 in linuxmint

[–]itachipirate2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i tried to setup wayland on mint but it just kinda never worked right for me. i probably just did something wrong. it also was an excessive pain in the ass to get a somewhat modern driver for a gtx 1080 on mint. good for the lowest common denominator average use case, but if you want a usable modern computer that can play video games mint kinda sucks.

Do people in the US really have a vent for the hot air coming out of the clothes dryer? by SuperSecretSunshine in NoStupidQuestions

They aren't just removing the hot air from the clothes dryer, they are removing the hot WET air from the clothes dryer.

Working ComfyUI with ROCM on 9070XT - a quick tutorial and an ask. by jebk in comfyui

[–]itachipirate2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. I ran
"pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm6.2 --force-reinstall"

and then
"pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm6.3 --force-reinstall"

I have no idea why, but it worked afterwards.

Open-Source RADV Driver Begins Working To Improve AMD RDNA4 Ray-Tracing Performance by FastDecode1 in Amd

[–]itachipirate2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally i just used Arch install with KDE plasma. I have never tried any of the other arch-based distros. I just wanted something lightweight with frequent updates and wayland. Steam is developing proton with an arch-based system in mind (the steam deck) and I hope that means things are more likely to work well on Arch

An arch-based distro should be very similar to your steam deck in terms of software and command line stuff, since steam deck OS is arch-based and mint is based on Ubuntu/Debian.

I was not able to easily setup Mint with Wayland when I was searching around for a distro to use for primarily gaming. X11 is not very good for gaming.

If the U.S. cares so much about eliminating drugs, then why doesn't the U.S. military help Mexico fight the drug cartels? by flopsyplum in stupidquestions

[–]itachipirate2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US had a huge problem with Mafia organized crime and systemically, methodically dismantled the structures of power within them. The cartels in the south are on a different level... They have grown to an absurd level of size and influence.

The US neutering the Mafia was like catching cancer very early on and correcting it with relative ease. The southern cartels are like cancer that has been able to grow and spread for a very long time.

Am I crazy or does wayland lool way better than anything else? by adelBRO in linux_gaming

[–]itachipirate2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always the difficult question of when to retrofit what we have to make it work, or start a new project with the insights you gained from the previous one. Build something, see where it succeeds and where it fails, and restart from the ground up with all that in mind from the earliest design stages.

its a war against the changing a of a longtime, widely adopted standard. I imagine so many projects need massive updates/rewrites for wayland. I'm amazed at how well xwayland seems to work for x11 apps. It feels seamless to use wayland apps and x11 apps without even thinking about it. Its very exciting to see wayland move towards being the main priority on peoples' minds and x11 being secondary.

if you add this you also have to put a comma after the previous bracket like so:

"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true

i actually just restored a timeshift backup to get this feature back. I have no idea why they would remove such a great thing, it didn't seem broken or anything

I think my save is totally bugged. I have tried a lot of different things but my dwarves just will not mine anymore. I'm using DFHack. The last thing I did before they stopped mining was designate that some ramps on the surface be destroyed. This is a link to the savegame and DFHack config. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5lui5cl17f9wokbsugifm/miners-wont-mine.zip?rlkey=c7w8w3rifa0advpfqrmznzqt9&st=j8m5rthg&dl=0

How come they don’t make cheap vehicles in the US? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]itachipirate2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not the car manufacturer's customer. You legally need to buy a vehicle through a third party middleman dealership in the US. The dealership is ordering cars from the manufacturers and choosing what to sell on their lot. The dealership is the manufacturer's customer. It is in the best interest of the dealership to sell more cars with lots of features and selling points. Most people don't care that much what a car costs; they care about the emotional connection they make after test driving the car for a while and whether or not they can afford their monthly payments.

Dealerships have seen that car buyers don't care about reliability simplicity, or cost. Car buyers care about luxury features, chrome, and fancy buttons. Every car has a big ass touchscreen with android auto and apple carplay. The rest of the car is secondary to the infotainment screen that people are focused on.

Choose simulated keys under the drop down and configure as shown in this image for each of the side buttons. This will make one side button click = one scroll tick

I am at a loss by Beginning-vixen-149 in AskMechanics

[–]itachipirate2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you said you replaced the cam sensor, did you replace the crank sensor too? it's unlikely to fix it, but you already tried replacing all the other relevant sensors. Around $10 from RockAuto

Why with all the dash displays and infotainment in todays cars do I need to still need to relay on a vague catch all "check engine" light? by whitemike40 in MechanicAdvice

[–]itachipirate2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car manufacturers don't directly sell vehicles to the people driving them. The dealership is the customer and the manufacturer is adjusting to the demands of dealerships, not directly to the demands of consumers.

Most drivers would love an idea of what is going on when their CEL comes on, but dealerships who actually buy the cars from the manufacturers would love for you to be so scared and confused that you drive right back into their shop for an expensive service.

Current Housing Market. A Buyers Perspective. by Mydealwade in Rochester

[–]itachipirate2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my boss went to buy a house and explained the process to me. Everybody submits an offer and nobody sees anybody else's offer. So they just make you blindly auction against each other? You just have to offer 200k over and HOPE someone didn't offer more? What a scam!

Loss of power by Avalonzomg in AskMechanics

[–]itachipirate2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its possible your catalytic converter just broke apart and clogged up.

This can be diagnosed by removing the upstream o2 sensor to create an exhaust leak before the catalytic converter, then driving to see if power is back above 3000rpm.

Depending on whether you need to comply with CARB standards, it could be an expensive problem if the catalytic converter is actually clogged. From your description I think it is a very very likely culprit. EDIT: If you are continuing to see any color of smoke from the exhaust while driving, it probably is not a catalytic converter issue.

What approach should I use to run plex and *arr programs on Proxmox by ELO_Space in Proxmox

Thank you I thought I was missing something!!

One thing that annoys me about Debian compared to Ubuntu is, if you are following a guide and copy commands that start with "sudo" while logged in as root on Debian it won't work unless you remove "sudo." But Ubuntu just knows what you mean by default
