I see 1823 as in the past when it's currently 2023, didn't know about that wasn't a English word then .

You mean didn't ?

AFAIK LET do shenanigans like requiring service providers to pay to create post there now.

Syncthing has built-in file history function, it's not enabled by default but it's easy to configure.

Phoronix article: Coreboot Lands Support For The MSI PRO Z790-P Motherboards

On Dasharo (who worked on support for MSI boards) has pre-flashed motherboard for sale on their website, but looking at the price it's expensive, but it comes with some support.

On my system there is no traditional log files like kern.log or message (Not sure about Ubuntu 22.04), I would say it's worth a try.

Try journalctl --boot -1 -xe or journalctl --boot -1 -xep3

Lubuntu

When I started playing Horizon zero dawn, for first dozen hours I was in the state that fears the machines and sneaks everywhere.

Aloy's voice still terrifies me, I wish there was an option to turn off her random monologues.

The problem has been solved, it's caused by mesa's video decoding package, I will answer anyway.

Yes, VCN (Video Core Next) column stays at constant value while playing video (3% for VA-API with mesa, 5% for VDPAU with mesa, 0% for libplacebo), GFX fluctuates between 0% and 1%.

Just playing a 1080P video (not even a high bit rate one) is enough to make GPU fan go spinning, disappointing.

Turns out in my case it's mesa driver causing my problem, after removing mesa's VA-API and VDPAU drivers VLC can still play things just fine, CPU is at 2~3%.

Through some more testing, I found out mesa related hardware acceleration package can cause these power surge, on Archlinux it includes mesa-vdpau and libva-mesa-driver.

If I don't have these package installed, VLC reverts to libplacebo which doesn't seem to cause more power usage.

do you also have a dedicated graphics card?

Yes, rx 7800 xt

My worry s that playing a 1080P video need 30 watts (assuming amdgpu_top is not wrong), I would like to move that workload to integrated GPU, which I enabled in BIOS.

Thank you for your answer, I can confirm by switching to VA-API it lowers my power usage by a lot (from 45 to 20~21 watts reported).

Yes, rx 7800 xt. I can confirm DRI_PRIME does switch to integrated GPU on demand

    
DRI_PRIME=0 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon Graphics (gfx1101, LLVM 16.0.6, DRM 3.54, 6.5.5-arch1-1)
DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon Graphics (raphael_mendocino, LLVM 16.0.6, DRM 3.54, 6.5.5-arch1-1)

  

Isn't that the same as yay?

When source code is lost or unavailable.

I never thought about using instant messaging platform... and that makes so much sense I feel stupid.

distributed forum.

Some boards in one server, some boards in another server, glued by miracle someone's hardwork.

People that switched from Reddit.

I will give a version of event that I have observed, simplified (a lot of things glossed over), and maybe inaccurate.

1. LinusTechTips (one of their employees) criticized Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus do banchmark videos in a lab tour video (on MurfsGaming channel), HUB fight back on Twitter(X), Linus (the owner of LMG) double down in their WAN show saying some creators are unprofessional, this leads to Gamers Nexus doing a long video point out how unprofessional LTT is (many errors in their videos).
2. In Gamers Nexus's video, they shared a story that a company send their working prototype for LTT to review, but LTT doing the testing wrong (use the prototype with incompatible hardware), then sold the prototype for charity when they have been requested to send it back twice, screwing the startup company on top of giving inaccurate test results.
3. Linus (the owner of LMG) fight back in forum post with no apology (basically spraying gasoline on fire) and made up fake event saying they have already agreed to compensate the startup company.
4. Gamers Nexus says in their next video that they communicated with the startup company and LTT only contacted them two hours after previous Gamers Nexus's published, debunked Linus's claim that they already made a deal to compensate the startup company.
5. An ex-employee publicly talking about the time she works at LMG, bait-and-switch working contract after she moving all the way where LMG is, sexism, sexual harassment, threats, unhealthy work environment.

For my last self-made program, I just wrote a configpy, and call import config from other code files and write my config in Python.

On Desktop computer, you can use the code below to remove federated instances list. (Use the code in Developer Console)

document.querySelector(".home-instances .row").remove();

(Tested with instances that uses version 0.18.4)
