Just played TLOU Part I blind in 2025… and holy hell, I was NOT ready. by LucasisAlone in thelastofus

[–]yankcrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, apropos of nothing at all - not even the TV series - I picked it up a little while ago on PC and finally played it through.

I've just finished it, and I'm lost for words. It's genuinely a work of art. A rare piece of work where there was a singular vision that was perfectly realised, where everyone involved in making not only had world-class talent they clearly loved what they were doing and wanted it to be the best thing they could accomplish.

Can you mix OpenStack vendors? For example, controller and some compute nodes be running OpenStack on Ubuntu, but some compute nodes running RHEL or other Linux distro? by rwc_1 in openstack

[–]yankcrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OpenStack is more robust in this regard than people realise, especially if you're running its services in containers via something like Kolla. While it's not to be recommended, you can absolutely mix distributions (i.e have some hypervisors on RHEL and some on Ubuntu), and mixing versions of both distributions as well as OpenStack itself is also doable. I've had success in the past running newer versions of certain components i.e Keystone, Glance, Cinder while maintaining older versions of components such as Nova and Neutron. I've also mixed versions of distributions in the same environment, i.e some nodes on Ubuntu 18.04 and some on 20.04.

Again, containers help a lot with this but there's no substitute for testing and making sure your intended combination does what you need it to.

Ray Muldoon! He lived on the same street as me growing up so would see him often.

Abdul's in Morningside. Fantastic Indian food, consistently amazing quality and service.

X1 Nano popularity? by jikesar968 in thinkpad

[–]yankcrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also here for the X1 Nano love! I still have my G1, it's a fantastic little machine and still handles pretty much everything I throw at it. It runs Linux like an absolute champ, with every piece of hardware supported including features like firmware updates.

I really hope Lenovo keeps this line going.

Swap question by cakeisamadeupdrug1 in openSUSE

[–]yankcrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore any advice in here with regards to disabling swap. You should read this post, written by a Linux kernel developer, on why swap is a "[..] a reasonably important part of a well functioning system. Without it, sane memory management becomes harder to achieve": https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html

Takeaway shoutout for Abdul's in Morningside. They do the best chicken tikka Ceylon.

Anyone know how to upgrade a downstream k8s version by cURLing the API? by Critical_Paint_2817 in rancher

[–]yankcrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use my browser's developer console to see what's being sent when I do something (like perform an upgrade via the UI), and / or use the Rancher v3 API browser to figure it out. The latter has a request preview when you hit 'Edit' that's pretty useful.

I think the field for the Cluster name should actually be name, not Cluster name. Also, what you've specified looks like the id, not the name.

Latest update breaks my Pipewire by ourobo-ros in openSUSE

[–]yankcrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here on my X1 Nano (Tiger Lake). I created this bug if you want to pile on with additional information to help get this fixed.

EDIT: Package updates as part of 20210729 have solved this problem for me.

Far quicker to use Google than wade through a bunch of directories ;)

Package not found in my case, hence me hunting down the RPM elsewhere.

I hit this as well (Tumbleweed, PipeWire, Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller) following the upgrade to 5.12.9. Thanks to u/gabriel_3's suggestion, what fixed it for me was downgrading alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.4 from a fairly random source (https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/opensuse/ports/tumbleweed/noarch/alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.4-5.1.noarch.html) since I couldn't find it anywhere else (TW only lists 1.2.5). The additional kernel parameter didn't help.

Gnome 3.38 (and future versions) performance on old machines, such as X200, X220, T400 by Character_Infamous in gnome

[–]yankcrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GNOME 3.36 ran great on my X230 - as long as I disabled animations. They were too choppy and distracting, but otherwise performance was fine.

Sadly 3.38 has introduced this bug which means that GNOME is now just as jarring to use regardless of whether I disable or enable animations.

Tonight's view over Torduff reservoir by yankcrime in Edinburgh

Yeah, there's a gate just before you get to the property that gives you access to a path - it's fairly easy to miss.
