  • I know HEALTH.
    Are you telling me I have been listening to cum metal?

  • Registration hooks could be powerful

  • Haven't tried LFS yet but I have had my share of compiling custom Arch kernel (basically just making it smaller and boot a little bit faster), or cross-compiling various stuff for embedded and having to crawl through some of the lower level stuff.
    It might be that time of a year to give LFS a try now that you mention it.

  • Thanks for the explanation, I have played with like 30 mods max so the built-in mod manager seemed enough.

    Also FYI all your english comments here are posted with language set to dansk so I couldn't find it even though I got the notifications (seems lemmy does not really tell you you are trying to visit a comment in language you don't have enabled in settings).

  • Stellaris with a friend, too much democracy (Helldivers).

  • Only people at .world won't see it. You can look at a post from different instance by pasting the URL into the search field of that instance (and if the instance does not have that post yet because of no subscribers or slow federation then you might have to wait a bit and try again).

  • lemmy.one has disabled downvotes, it's up to admins of each instance if they allow viewing and making downvotes.

  • You know what, I am gonna call skill issue.
    I get that the "press R to join a group" can be overlooked or that not everyone has the intuition to click on the active missions on a planet (alright, these are currently bugged and do not refresh quick enough so always full).

    But all one has to do is a quick google search to find out you just open the big holo planet and press R, there are also definitely worse offenders in cryptic/useless UIs.

  • I don't see a mention of PocketBook so here is, last time I checked they are running a linux kernel and the source is available, amd the device should be moddable/hackable.

    I am in love with my PB Touch HD 3, does exactly what it needs without any annoying stuff (but with goodies like backlight and blue filter). I did opt into using their cloud for book syncing (which is not required at all, usb cable works too or other clouds) but there was never an ad or intrusive thing, love this device.

  • I think I had this occur to me once and it was something really dumb but I can't remember what.

    @thomasdouwes@sopuli.xyz just for the sake of trying everything, you could rebuild the dkms and initrams, then reboot:

     
        
    dkms autoinstall -F -a kernel-6.8.5-arch1 # change the kernel version according what you have now (read from uname -a)
    mkinitcpio -P
    
      

    E: Exhaustive of what I would try

    • check if drivers and modprobe blacklist make sense (this one is broad and requires digging into arch wiki but the optimus laptop I had required blacklisting some drivers from early loading afaik)
    • fiddle with re-scans and power states in the sys bus PCI folders for the GPU
    • check that my mkinitcpio makes sense, additionally look for .pacnew (/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.pacnew) and see if the changes might affect the system
    • downgrade kernel - already tried
    • downgrade dkms packages
    • update BIOS and firmwares from windows
    • cold boot the laptop (shutdown, remove AC and battery, leave it cold for few seconds)
    • on windows, look into ROG Armoury/MSI Center for any kind of toggles that could have impact on the GPUs (iGPU/dGPU) stuff like power states, optimizations etc)
  • What model and version of laptop is this, also is the integrated GPU intel or amd one?

  • what does dmesg show if you try to load nvidia manually ? (modprobe nvidia)

  • There are/were two reasons why I did that:

    • board manufacturers like to push the juice into the CPU to make benchmarks look good which is dangerous with these power sucking bricks, afaik this might be already patched in recent bioses but I am not risking it/lazy to tweak back
    • depending on the CPU piece you might achieve same performance with less power which is my case, I think I have Core Voltage set to something like Adaptive-0.080 which afaik is still pretty tame and the benchmark scores almost didn't move
  • The only workarounds that seem to improve stability involve manually downclocking or undervolting Intelโ€™s processors.

    Guess that explains why I haven't had any unexpected crashes yet with stuff like Palworld or Helldivers 2 (afaik both are made in UE). Have been running my 13900kf slightly undervolted.
