Thanks! I'm curious if there is a way to do this as a one-liner?

Elegant and flexible, thank you!

ChatGPT suggests the following:

1. Run tmux
2. rsync -naP --exclude-from=rsync-homedir-local.txt /home/$USER/ $BACKUPDIR/ | tee /tmp/rsync_output.txt
3. Ctrl+B % # splits screen vertically
4. Ctrl+B right-arrow-key # moves to right split
5. tail -f /tmp/rsync_output.txt | grep denied

Not quite a one-liner, but I can see how tmux is a big help here.

Interesting, I'll check it out, thanks!

There are no errors in the journalctl or steam logs?

Is it possible your Sweet-Dark-v40 theme is interacting poorly with Steam here? It seems to crash right after that unexpected identifier 'direction' and subsequent errors. Maybe try switching themes and see if it has any effect?

I don't know if this is related, but recently when updating graphics card packages, some of my flatpak apps (Bitwarden, especially) required removing cached GPU files:

rm -rf ~/.var/app/com.bitwarden.desktop/config/Bitwarden/Partitions/bitwarden/GPUCache

Could something similar be going on here for you?

Keep an eye on Pop COSMIC. It isn't ready yet, but I'd give it 4 months and I think it would be a great match for something like rpi.

This makes more sense, thanks.

Is it possible to get this to work with OBS studio? I see the author mentions OBS as an "Alternative Project" but it seems ideal to have these pieces work together.

This is really cool in concept, but it is SO SLOW. OMG.

I've started playing with Chimera Linux. Super interesting hybrid between BSD-like systems (ports, BSD-derived userland tools) and the Linux kernel, with neat design choices like LLVM compiler instead of gcc and musl C instead of glibc. I think of it as a next-gen Void Linux.

Yes, it's supposed to be animated. I saw it animating earlier today. However, I can no longer see an animation (Firefox and Chromium both tested). Strange!

I wonder if it is related to these:

• https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/6154
• https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/4858

Install intel-gpu-tools. Set GPU to max frequency: sudo intel_gpu_frequency -m

If this fixes the issue as it did for "L L", the speculation is that the root cause is related to on-demand frequency management.

Here's how I would investigate this:

1. Try disabling MolecularNodes (and any other add-on) just to be sure it isn't the culprit
2. The CPU usage seems like an important clue. When you say "My computer is not locked due to memory, CPU, nor GPU usage", how does this relate to "just noticed that Blender is still using 100% CPU"? Any chance it is trying to render via CPU instead of GPU?
3. Check the journalctl logs on the command-line, i.e. in the Terminal app, type journalctl | grep -i blender (the symbol between journalctl and grep is a pipe aka vertical bar) I'd be looking for things like crashed processes, warnings, or errors, especially around the time of the freeze.

Ah, thanks! Slightly different location, but basically the same. Here we go:

    
$ grep CONFIG_KERNEL_ /boot/config-6.4.6-76060406-generic
# CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_BZIP2 is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4 is not set
CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD=y

  

So the kernel is "zstd" compressed.

OTOH, I'm not sure if this means anything about initrd (ASCII cpio archive??)

    
$ file /boot/initrd.img-6.4.6-76060406-generic 
/boot/initrd.img-6.4.6-76060406-generic: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)


  

Wow, this told me much more than I expected; however, I'm still not sure if it's zstd:

    
/boot/vmlinuz-6.4.6-76060406-generic: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 6.4.6-76060406-generic (jenkins@warp.pop-os.org) #202307241739~1694621917~22.04~ac5e1a8 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed S, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0XD, Normal VGA

  

bzImage sounds like...bzip2, maybe?

When I check this file, it is already set at COMPRESS=zstd. However, I'm not sure if it's working as I think, because the vmlinuz-6.4* kernel file is not a zstd file? Maybe it uses zstd for just a portion of the binary...

How would I check? Like this?

    
$ zstd -l vmlinuz-6.4.6-76060406-generic 
Frames  Skips  Compressed  Uncompressed  Ratio  Check  Filename
File "vmlinuz-6.4.6-76060406-generic" not compressed by zstd 

  

What do you mean by "native support for FiraCode" (just curious)? Does that mean packaged by default? Or does FiraCode require something more than font ligatures?
