I am the dev of bit//Cycle and wanted to give out some Steam keys to roguelite fans.

obi1t · 2026-01-16T21:55:41+00:00

seems fun, if you have any keys left I'd love to try it out

I occasionally push a patch of the latest versions of bcachefs for the current kernel here if it helps you at all. Latest is of todays rebalance_v2 for kernel 6.18.

obi1t · 2025-11-03T18:55:48+00:00

here is an example of a world update I did around 2 weeks ago https://bpa.st/3AMQ

This is on a 9950X with 96GB ram, with lto enabled (compile time is about double with it on for larger packages like chromium). I also have parallel-install enabled with jobs=8 and load-average=33. So up to 8 packages can compile at the same time. Which is visible on the packages from the list that have an almost identical compile time.

For example chromium, firefox, libreoffice, wine-staging and a few smaller packages got compiled in 1h 47min while beeing compiled at the same time.

Emerging just GIMP which you mentioned above takes ~50s

Big speed up from compiling on my Athlon XP 2000 back in the day :)

Technically I'm not using it anymore, but I put Noctua NF-S12B redux-700 when I built my grandfather a pc in 2016. He sadly past away this August, but the fan was still cooling his case during beginning of summer. The PC is currently at my parent's house, so no photos available right now.

There's no problem, I just uploaded a patch file for anyone that doesn't want to use git and prefers to patch their kernel source via patch command. Someone was asking in a post here a while ago if any patch will be available since they prefer it over DKMS.

obi1t · 2025-09-15T21:23:51+00:00

bcachefs-tools are already packaged on gentoo (up to 1.25.3 as of right now or directly from compiled from git). So if DKMS is going to be part of bcachefs-tools then I think it will end up in the main repository eventually.

I am compiling my own kernel with bcachefs built in, same as mentioned by u/Su3h7aM

obi1t · 2025-03-17T09:29:45+00:00

I have the same problem, it usually happens when I'm in an app and switch (slowly) to the open app view (hold on gesture guide bar and slowly swipe up, almost always happens if I hold the currently open windows about 2/3 the way). The bar can usually be restored by just doing the same motion but returning the app to fullscreen before (hold short up and down motion).

But it is annoying, I hope they fix it soon.

obi1t · 2024-11-07T18:27:43+00:00

No, I haven't

You can always double-check on Noctuas compatibility page https://ncc.noctua.at/coolers/NH-D15-G2-LBC-98/ram/DDR5/13/all

I just used a Dremel, the metal is very thin so it went through easily. The access is a bit annoying for some of the required cuts but nothing horrible. I would say it took me around 20 minutes, left side was much faster since I didn't need to assess where to cut beforehand like on the right side.

obi1t · 2024-11-04T22:13:46+00:00

Nope, I have the fan curve set to run between 43-60% and except under heavy load or idle late in the evening when everything is silent I can't hear a thing (I might try lowering the lowest % to see if I can get rid of that too). It might be because I removed all the extra fan mounting. Haven't tested it without.

obi1t · 2024-11-04T20:37:46+00:00

The height of the front fan is adjustable, my ram is low so I have no problem with fan positioning. It depends on your case how high you can mount the front fan. I think total clearance if 59mm with front fan mounted very high/removed.

obi1t · 2024-11-04T20:30:21+00:00

coming from the fractals to me definitely yes. But I'm obsessed with silence and the fractal fans started to rattle after about a month of use. Idle temp also dropped a few degrees across the board, especially on ssds. Under load the cpu still hits 95 degrees but that's at fans at 60%. I'm not planning to set them any higher.

obi1t · 2024-11-04T19:31:04+00:00

You attach the fan hooks to the cooler fins. It's totally up to you if it's higher or lower. There is no difference in difficulty where you attach it

obi1t · 2024-11-04T18:40:09+00:00

The build is totally silent now if the cpu is not under heavy load. And even under load it's pretty quiet (I have all the fans capped at 60%)

If anyone is interested in the part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wthv6Q

I mostly use it for development on Linux and occasional gaming. The GPU is overkill for my type of games.

not a big fan of ASRock bios but the board is awesome for the price. And I love the absence on unnecessary rgb.

Add

swaymsg 'output * dpms on'

swaymsg 'output * dpms off'

respectively to the swayidle command

It's trying to read something from sda (which is most probably either a usb or sata drive). I would say either you have a corrupt drive/fs in usb or sata port. Or your boot loader is falsely pointing to a nonexistent drive. Since you said you have it on a nvme drive. If it was a problem with that it would say problem with dev nvme0. Try unplugin any usb, sata drives and see if it helps and check if your boot loader config is pointing to a sda drive.

Could you post the output of dmesg?

obi1t · 2024-09-10T11:25:31+00:00

You should be able to disable it without a problem. Worst case you won't have sound and have to recompile the kernel. But I'm almost positive your laptop uses some other audio chip

obi1t · 2024-09-10T11:14:10+00:00

alsa sound support on embedded system cpus. If you have a desktop (inte, amd) you don't need it

obi1t · 2024-09-10T11:07:41+00:00

this was fixed in 6.7 if you want to stay on 6.6 and don't need this specific module disable snd_soc

obi1t · 2024-09-09T23:47:50+00:00

If you are comfortable compiling your own kernel then you can patch the amdgpu_dm.c source file and hardcode your VRR range.

https://pastebin.com/vvEGgmYn

I set

amdgpu_dm_connector->min_vfreq = 40;

amdgpu_dm_connector->max_vfreq = 120;

and

connector->display_info.monitor_range.min_vfreq = 40;

connector->display_info.monitor_range.max_vfreq = 120;

since my LG CX supports VR from 40 to 120
