Most of it was just nice little touches that didn’t change my day much, but the explicit sync in Wayland by also adding the Nvidia 555 driver has really been nice

I am a historian whose specialty is too recent to deal with anything like that (20th century), but also have a friend who, to be generic here, deals with a handful of a few centuries back. She found a baggie of a drug mistakenly stored with a letter in an archive (think 18th century) and on a whim, dipped their pinky into the powder and tried it. They regret that decision, but also, nothing happened:)
EDIT: Historians can be boring, but not always that tame
😂 I don’t pay that much attention to usernames, but once I saw your comment, I was like “hey, I think I have come across SatansMaggotyCumFart a few times before!”
It wasn’t my original intention, but ingress made me walk a whole lot!
Fuck… I got this Amber alert today while playing videogames with my kid… I dismissed it, told him it was just an alarm, and then got another later saying it was cancelled, “check local news sources for details”. I assumed it was what I thought a lot of them are: domestic dispute leads to a parent driving off with the kids and the other parent calling the cops. This is way more grim than I thought
Yeah, I have one piece of software where I need Windows with a GPU (Fusion 360, got it running on wine once but an update broke it), and my wife needs my PC for Adobe stuff sometimes. I might buy a cheapo used older GPU, I don’t need much since it’s not for gaming. That said, the video showed something that might fix where I got stuck last time trying to pass the integrated GPU, so I’m trying that again. I have a Ryzen 9 with 24 cores, so plenty of juice to go around If that if I can pass the igpu through. Then I could try looking glass and be all set. Thanks for sharing, gave me some hope to try again haha
Ha, I was about to edit to say I watched the video. It’s a pretty smooth transition into the client machine!
Thanks for sharing the details! I’m gonna check out the video. So if I understand correctly, when you start your VM, it completely takes over video, and you’re not seeing the host desktop at all, but then when you shut down the VM, it returns to your host desktop? So the resulting experience is like dual booting, but a lot faster? I Heard about looking glass, but hadn’t delved into it since I couldn’t even get the igpu to passthrough in the first place (testing with a cable going to another input in my monitor, which AFAIK, would be the part that looking glass solves)
Ha, very nice!
The black Sabbath for Internet connection is hilarious. Did you get that from the Bitcoin mining trigger bit on Silicon Valley?
This nice little one liner bash script, assigned to a shortcut Meta +Shift + O. It opens the flameshot GUI, let’s you select an area of text in your screen and click Ok. It OCRs the screenshot and puts it into the clipboard. It checks for whether you’re using Wayland or X11 to use the appropriate clipboard tool. Beyond the more typical text in an image scenario, it’s a convenient way to copy non-selectable text in error popups. Not my original idea, copied the concept from a suggestion in a GitHub comment thread and adapted it.
exec &> /dev/null [ “$XDG_SESSION_TYPE” = “wayland” ] && (flameshot gui --raw | tesseract stdin stdout | wl-copy) || (flameshot gui --raw | tesseract stdin stdout | xclip -in -selection clipboard)
I just got a Dell precision through work, and I am glad I accidentally stumbled on that in the bios menu, I would not have guessed either
Oh my god, I wish! I have tried unsuccessfully before, but I was trying to just pass my onboard AMD igpu to the VM and keep an NVIDIA on Linux.
When you say single passthrough, you mean splitting the one GPU to host and client?
I have tried through the arch wiki and a couple of YouTube tutorials with no luck. If you found any tutorials/resources that really, helped, please share!
Also, I really wish I had the foresight to have bought AMD instead of NVIDIA a few years ago, but it was before I was on Linux as my main driver and didn’t know any better
I am someone who should have found a way to legal status through those means by the time when I went to college circa mid 2000s… I am lucky that I found other means, which were pure circumstantial luck… Kids’ livelihood should not be dependent on dumb luck … PS.: my “dumb luck” required an American citizen ally and a shitload of money I got through student loans I am still paying for, and will still be paying for through most of my career, despite being technically in “public service”
Coming from the 9000 series, I am wondering what do you like about the 5700 series HAL?
Ah thanks for letting me know about Rx Resume! Great resource, and actually solves the last mile problem (creating the document) of my little personal app. I am a bit of a jack of all trades, so I made a little database for the resume where the lowest level item (the little bullet points in the experience) can have tags attached to them. So I might describe the same job/experience in multiple ways depending on who the audience is, and then filter for the tags to only get the bullet points that are relevant for that position and generate a resume.
Now instead of going into some whole slog of coding document generation, I can just export that bit as JSON and import into Rx Resume! Thanks again!
Ah thanks! I am working with .NET, and I was surprised how there’s little out there in terms of (open source) libraries for LaTex (I did some research since this comment). I might end up going with docx via the OpenXML API. Also, I haven’t really used LaTex before (has been on on my learning to-do list), and once I started messing with some templates, I realized I need to learn a lot more first.
One thing with my documents is that find and replace alone won’t work, as I need to replace some patterns. I am generating resumes, so I need to take something like a pattern for a job, and then repeat it several times
What is it?
Well, I am off to eat my dinner of duck cooked rare with a glass of raw milk!
Thanks for that thorough explanation! As someone that knows enough to be suspicious of the usual problematic factors, but not really aware of the details, this was great info
