I thought that there was VRR support over HDMI even for versions below 2.1 spec.
Yes, there is FreeSync HDMI, which is supposed to be supported on Linux, and which is unrelated to HDMI 2.1 VRR. Don’t see anything about the monitor supporting that though (LG 24GS60F based on your previous post). Nor anything about HDMI 2.1 VRR, it probably only supports VRR via DisplayPort Adaptive Sync.
None of which are in this picture. The person in the picture talks only favorably of immutable systems yet is apparently against them, thus making for an easy target by arguing against themselves, so a straw man.
I’m actually positive to immutable systems, I just thought the argument wasn’t great. I realize that’s about what Skinner does in the meme, but it feels weak.
On second thought, I think the reason it was so jarring is because normally points against Skinner are in top picture, and the bottom picture has him abandon that line of thoughts in favor of something simplistic, thus changing his mind from one side to the other. Whereas here, the points against Skinner are at the end point of the meme, and thus he argues in both directions simultaneously.
This seems rather strawman-y
It’s better in one way, in that updates are applied on reboot rather than pulling the rug put from under running applications. But I agree that it doesn’t go all the way, as it doesn’t provide a verifiable base system with clearly separated modifications. OSTree would be great.
Another possibility would be to distribute a base image as a btrfs send stream (possibly differential against previous versions) containing a compose-fs image and associated files. And then OS extensions could be installed with systemd-sysext.
64 for the wan interface
Nitpicking, but the address for the wan interface wouldn’t have a prefix, so the host would just set it as a /128 (point-to-point)
Figured I’d do the math on the power required.
In the article, they show a iPhone 15 Pro, which has a 3274 mAh battery, so let’s go with that. Assuming a 3.7 V battery and a 1 minute charging time, that’s 3274 mAh × 3.7 V / 1 min ≈ 727 W.
I used to use it, but then I switched to MPV, as it works a lot better with hardware acceleration. MPV supports more methods for hardware decoding (e.g. nvdec), and also MPV will keep the frames in VRAM when doing hardware decoding, and do additional processing and presentation using the GPU, while VLC copies everything back to system RAM and processes the frame on the CPU.
At the time I switched hardware decoding with copy-back would actually result in twice the CPU usage compared to software decoding, but that was a long time ago. Also, I would get tearing in VLC and not in MPV.
You’re right, that might work
That requires root
Sounds like a typical COBOL dev
A310 is the cheapest.
I wonder how well it does for transcoding on older computers without ReBAR, since apparently gaming on it is straight out broken without ReBAR. As in, it would actually freeze for a second or so every now and then.
Could be that the graphics card is outputting an HDR signal (Rec. 2020 color space), but the monitor is in SDR mode. That would result in desaturated colors.
Already daily driving it on my laptop, which uses AMD graphics, and my work laptop, which uses Intel graphics. For Nvidia, there’s missing explicit sync (which should be fixed soon), and Steam completely freaking out (might get fixed by explicit sync). Kwin also seems a bit unstable on Nvidia, but I haven’t tested it for extended periods of time.
I also have a computer with display on an Nvidia card via reverse prime, which suffers performance issues on Wayland. Might be improved on Plasma 6, but that computer runs OpenSUSE Leap, so it won’t get that for some time.
There is also the issue of picture-in-picture, but that can be worked around with Kwin rules.
Have they done anything about the lack of security? Last I checked, anyone could mount an NFS share and access it as whatever user they wanted, without authentication.
Why do you feel the need to install an app for a coffee shop?
That though would make it break when the host system updates glibc, just like it does in snappy.
Another alternative then would be Restic. That’s what I’m using for backups
All the easy options like from Amazon are DRM encumbered. But the DRM-free options are still available if you are willing to search a bit.
Are they? Where (other than piracy)? A lot of books seems to be sold exclusively with DRM from what I can tell. Some are even exclusive to Amazon.
How can it tell the difference between spaces used for indentation and spaces used for alignment, if you use the same character for both?
Apparently so it does, and it says “HDMI Freesync” rather than “HDMI [2.1] VRR”. FreeSync HDMI is a completely different protocol and is supposed to work under Linux. Found a thread here, can you try
cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/HDMI-A-1/vrr_rangeandedid-decode < /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid? Though there is no solution there.
