I recently moved from X11 (BSPWM) to Wayland (Hyprland) and while I did get rid of a very annoying bug with bspwm, it did come with a few of its own quirks/annoyances:

  • Hyprland does not yet have the ability to load ICC profiles
  • Marking a monitor as variable refresh rate capable forces my GPU to idle at maximum clocks and draw 100W (this one really makes me wtf, but it is nvidia so idk who to blame here)
  • Dragging and dropping can be very unreliable for some windows (IIRC, only with Chromium based applications so far)
  • Some apps deadlock when attempting to read the clipboard (Again, only Chromium based applications so far)
    • EDIT: Maybe a recent update fixed it, however I also just switched wl-clip-persist from regular or primary mode (I can't remember) to both. Either way, the issue appears to be gone now.

Maybe if I wasn't a masochist and installed something normal, such as KDE, I wouldn't have any of these issues. However, I apparently and unfortunately get great pleasure out of plopping my testicles onto an anvil and smashing them like a blacksmith forges raw iron.


Rust, however, is cool. I like Rust. I can't say that I approve of replacing everything under the sun with a Rust rewrite for no good reason, but the language itself is fine.

It was PC. I've tried the PC gamer demo and the "North Carolina" seed for all probable game versions (1.3 to 1.6), and the base world generation just doesn't match. There is a hill nearby which could be close, but the biomes are all wrong.

There is a chance, albeit not very high, that it was a cracked version of the game using a seed I simply forgot with time, but it would be quite difficult to brute force that since I would then need to figure out both the version and seed. Given I am fairly certain I generated the same world a few times, it's possible I might be able to guess it.

I grew up playing a very specific Minecraft trial world. You spawn on a beach with a single tree. Immediately inland was a large plains biome, but about 100 blocks to the side was an oak forest. In there (still visible from spawn), was a single large hill with a small cave in it which poked though it and made for a good base.

I am rather confident it was a Minecraft trial edition world. I believe I reset that map several times over before discovering how to make the trial last forever. However the trial seed on the wiki does not match for any game version. (It does match a different world I remember playing at least.)

I've probably spent about 10 hours over the last couple years periodically going on the hunt for it, and at this point I'll give out a small bounty for information.

So I don't think that's what the article was going for (see melmi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 's reply), but also yes.

I consider myself straight and for the most part normal for a 20-something guy.

So far, I've only ever dated women, however I certainly consider some femboys to be very cute and I wouldn't inherently be opposed to dating one. While I'm not attracted to penises, and I'm certainly not attracted to masculine men, some femboys are absolutely "feminine enough" that I do find them attractive.

Since that CPU has no iGPU, it's most likely that it'll result in no video out at all.

If push comes to shove, you can try using the bazzite image for older Nvidia GPUs as that uses a different driver (but still compatible with 30xx). If you're lucky, it might do the init in a different way which doesn't trigger any hardware quirks. Just know that come with a caveat that any future upgrade would (most likely) involve switching drivers.

Reading into the logs you provided (see the pastes), I see an ungodly number of kernel: NVRM: gpuHandleSanityCheckRegReadError_GM107: Possible bad register read: addr: 0x110100, regvalue: 0xbadf5620, error code: Unknown SYS_PRI_ERROR_CODE lines followed by some messages about the GPU failing to initialize.

If you have another Nvidia card available (16xx or above), swap it into the system and see if it suddenly works. Your card may be a dud.

Odds are that pstate is entirely unrelated.

You know Google drive? You know how it doesn't work when the internet is out? You know how we live in rural USA so the internet is out every other day?

Yeah that computer in the corner is my own Google drive that still works when the internet is out.

From the OpenWRT HWData pages (1, 2), your router supports VLANs.

A majority (70%, according to the ToH) of routers support VLANs, so it's generally a safe bet.

When you installed KDE, it must have also installed pavucontrol. Now that you have that app, you can access those settings on GNOME by searching for that name.

This also applies for other distros. Just install that package and you'll have that app.

Once you're inside a car that's on, there really isn't any security*. The OBD2 port that every remotely modern car has is perfectly capable of accessing all the diagnostics and data streams the car has, and can also control/reconfigure the various computers.

IMO that doesn't really matter, since the system isn't powered until the key is in the ignition and the car turned on. You can't do anything with the key off, and if your passenger wanted to sabotage the car, they'd just yank the wheel as you drive down the highway.

That said, yes OTA updates are a travesty. Specifically because cars have so little security, having any access to their computers from the outside is a massive risk... And if there's a potential that the country the manufacturer is in turns hostile, that risk certainly isn't reduced.

* A handful of manufacturers have "added" security to their systems by... (drumroll pls) restricting access to the systems and requiring a subscription for full access. That's fucking evil and doesn't even do anything (at least for a mechanic or tinkerer like me) since you can just google "FCA bypass cable" and skip right past the firewall.

Only needs some hammering and zip ties and it'll be good as new.
