theres usually an option to enable removing old kernels after installing new ones so you keep N and N-1 but nothing older. why its not enabled by default i do not know.

I believe I’ve figured out that Bazzite gnome is only crashing on screen blank if you leave a steam window up. been testing all day via opening a window for something and then walking away and checking it out later. only time it seems to crash is if steam is on screen. very strange!

I found a 750W power supply in a Sonnet external GPU chassis, chopped off the 12V GPU power connectors and soldered on an EPS12V. Post-apocalyptic garbage server!

oh no blimp issue posted:is there actually a script that does that automatically? i tried to do that manually by removing the unused kernels, purging the packages and then reinstalling and that didn't fix anything before assuming rpm or deb based apt-get autoremove or dnf autoremove should do the trick. for other package systems ddg for removing orphaned packages FAT32 SHAMER posted:I believe I’ve figured out that Bazzite gnome is only crashing on screen blank if you leave a steam window up. been testing all day via opening a window for something and then walking away and checking it out later. only time it seems to crash is if steam is on screen. you can take a look at /var/log/syslog (or use the gnome “logs” app) to see if there’s anything interesting at the time of the crash. probably save a lot of ball-ache by switching to a more mainstream distro like debian/*buntu/fedora though and just installing the james stuff from there. from what I can see, despite the claim of “desktop, htpc, handheld” for bazzite it’s primarily targeted at those handhelds* *I’ve been hovering over buying a steam dock OLED but holy gently caress they are expensive here

Steam does some wacky stuff on Linux with screensaver/screen lock, not quite the same issue but might be worth looking into: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/vhat0n/steam_can_cause_your_monitor_to_never_turn_off_by/

Silverstone SG02-F circa 2018. It's a micro-atx case, so not exactly small like mini itx. I bolted it to a Vietnam-era external frame backpack and powered it with an ebike battery. It had an 8 TB nvme array inside, for when you need wearable computing with fast i/o. e: hope you like big pics because I can't figure out how to thumbnail SA attachments

The Proof Is in the Building Default config, fresh build for Aruba AP-303H + LuCI, including toolchain. code:
That's way higher than I expected! Watching the build in top, it sure seemed to spend a lot of time running a single make or bash process (occasionally perl). Maybe the compiles were fleeting enough I didn't see them in top -d 2 ? Anyway, 32 mins is fast! After that first build, I make a small change in my router's device tree file, and rebuilt. Ccache is on (compiler caching). code:
This is a 10-core Skylake Xeon with 24 GB of DDR4 across 6 channels. With hyperthreading, it could maybe hit 12-15x single threaded with an ideal workload. So 9.5 really does seem high. Great if true, though. This server is also nearly silent. The CPU is a lower-power Xeon variant with a 85W TDP. Keeping power down was important for the backpack computer, but not just because of runtime. We also needed to keep the heatsink small for shock resistance. I'm really happy with this little machine.

Great if true, though. what on earth is this backpack computer even for skylake was from intel's 14nm malaise era and has not aged well, if you can scrounge up literally almost anything from just a few years later (2020 onwards is probably good) it'll be way better. preferably amd, for energy efficiency

BobHoward posted:what on earth is this backpack computer even for It was for capturing raw video from 8 machine vision cameras. Later we would post-process the data to create a 3D light field. Now it builds my router firmware. This is definitely the fastest, newest computer I have. I don't think anything else in storage will be functional, or even tolerable from a noise/size standpoint. I'm not going to run some 2U screamer in my condo. TBH the only reason this server hadn't been salvaged before is I needed to convert it back to AC power.

While all this Intel CPU chat is interesting, while I was poking around my router's device tree I saw this on the i2c bus:code:
I think I should throw together a quick userspace driver to see exactly what this chip is doing. I see that someone else has done work on a Linux driver for the ISL28022, but I don't know what happened to that project. e: i2cdetect can't see either of the two chips that are supposed to be on that bus.

I upgraded my laptop to a Lenovo Legion 7i with a 14900HX and a 4070 and swapped the NVME from my old laptop to the new one. Linux boots fine, everything works (including sound!), and Nouveau needs suiting. Windows didn't have a blue screen, but I should have wiped it and reformatted it instead of uninstalling all the old drivers/vendor programs. I'm honestly surprised Windows didn't poo poo the bed.

I can't get I2C working on my router, even after switching the pin definitions around and upping the drive strength. Hmm, what could it be? I think the next step is to disable I2C entirely, configure the pins as normal GPIO, and see if I can talk to any periphs with bit-banging. e: code:

well if the experimental label was removed and it ships with mesa by default then it should have some baseline functionality, surely? i seem to recall that it got certified as vulkan 1.0 compliant at least maybe it could have used another few months in the oven though, the videos of nvk running some fairly modern games via dxvk with decent framerates are still fairly new. anyway hopefully a good version makes it into freedesktop sdk 2024.08. not that i care though since i don't use nvidia hardware.
