This is the command I used after unlocking the luks device in a rescue environment and confirming it not mounting further:

sudo btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/mapper/luksroot

After that, I could mount again and boot.

Here's more info on the command, to verify advice is sound: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/btrfs-progs/btrfs-zero-log.8.en.html#zero

EDIT: For me it didn't happen during an update, btw. You might still need the chroot approach to make the system bootable again.

I've had this exact error a couple of weeks ago. You have to clear the replay log (and lose potentially 30 seconds of disk writes). Let's see if I can find exact instructions before the end of my commute.

That'd be fine by me, if I could also actually buy a good TV that supports DP.

On the other hand, I also think it's bullshit that I pay for HDMI through both my GPU & TV, and the HDMI forum still denies me that bought functionality.

I hope AMD fixed this on their side, maybe by implementing it in hardware. Does anyone have a source? I've only seen reports of HDMI 2.1b support not specifying "Windows-only". Fingers crossed.

Wikipedia is financially pretty stable, afaik. Not saying you shouldn't donate, but you might want to look into what happens with it. It won't necessarily be used to cover costs of running the website.

AMD & HDMI 2.1 (feddit.nl)
submitted 9 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

So, I bought an RX 7600 XT, when I was still using my 10 year old TV. Recently upgraded to an LG C4, reading the news about AMD support for HDMI 2.1 on Linux, I also went looking for a DP->HDMI adapter and found one that claims to even support VRR. After a week of getting random audio cuts, suspecting the adapter was at fault, I went pure HDMI...

To my surprise, I could run at 4K 120hz with VRR and HDR. Doesn't that require HDMI 2.1?

TLDR: Why do so many routers support >1Gbit/s on their WiFi while only having 1Gbit/s ethernet interfaces?

So, I've been upgrading parts of my home setup and have a router (without AP) that has 2.5G interfaces. My PC also has a 2.5G interface, but that only going to the router is kinda useless (the ISP offers 1G).

The place my PC is at is also a good position for an AP. So, I went looking for a cheap second hand wifi router and stumbled upon quite a few that were boasting >1G connection speeds, not only AX but also AC. Now I know this is often a combined theoretical Max, but still a lot offer >1G for the single band.

The vast majority of these routers, though, have 1G Ethernet ports. Putting that between my PC and router reduces that linkspeed and I can't actually reach over 1G for the WiFi devices as well. Why would you sell a product like that. Undoubtedly those radio's were more expensive but their in a package that can't fully utilize them. I can think of some reasons: marketing, radio's are mostly not fully utilized anyways, helps with latency, maybe?

Does anyone know why it's done like this?

It's been a while since I've watched it myself, but remember them going into the ownership structure.

There's basically no way for them to not make it a subscription model.

Good to mention that (in the Netherlands) when you've provided fingerprints for a new identification card, the fingerprints are wiped from any system after you've received the card, remaining only on the card itself.

Interestingly, as ChatGPT might be trained on these ELI5 questions and as a result they are asked more infrequently, it might get worse over time or out of date on these types of questions by its own doing. I especially wonder how bad this influence will get on subjects that you'd normally search stackoverflow for.

I recently reinstalled RL after not playing for 2 years, running Linux for my gaming pc these days. Almost every time I open up steam, there's a multi gigabyte rocket league update. Is that normal? Can I play without updating every time?

I wonder if internally the emoji's are added through a different mechanism that doesn't pick up the original request. E.g. another LLM thread that has the instruction "Is this apologetic? If it is, answer with exactly one emoji." After this emoji has been forcefully added, the LLM thread that got the original request is trying to reason why the emoji would be there, resulting in more apologies and trolling behaviour.

Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don't count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.

Explained by someone that doesn't know the technical side super well.

1: It's a new protocol for displaying. The main difference from X11, as I understand it, is a simplification of the stack. Eliminating the need for a display server, or merging the display server and compositor.

2: Some things impossible (or difficult) with X11 are much better supported in Wayland. Their not necessarily available, as the Wayland protocol is quite generic and needs additional protocols for further negotiation. Examples are fractional scaling & multiple displays with differing refresh rates.

Security is also improved. X11 did not make some security considerations (as it is quite old, maybe justifiably so). In X11 it's possible for any application to "look" at the entire display. In Wayland they receive a specific section that they can draw into and use. (This has the side-effect of complicating stuff like redshifting the screen at night, but in my experience that has fully caught up).

3: If you're interested, are in desktop application development (but I have no experience in that regard) or have a specific need for Wayland.

4: I think X won't die for a long long time if "ever". I'm not super familiar with desktop app development, but I don't think it requires more work to keep supporting X.

On the other hand, most of the complaints about Wayland I've heard were ultimately about support. At some point, when you're a normal user, the distro maintainer should be able to decide to move to Wayland without you noticing, apart from the blurriness being gone with fractional scaling.

If what the first commenter said is true. They will just implement RCS or an alternative in the EU and make up some reason why they can't or won't for the US market.

TLDR; Does anyone know if there's an initiative to use the pdf rendering engines built into most browsers and used while printing a web page in more flexible ways? Ideally from javascript being able to get the pdf as a File.

I've been looking into download as pdf functionality we implemented at work. It's for a single project, relatively small, so we implemented it with html2pdf.js. There seems to be no better way than rendering the webpage as canvas and saving as an image inside PDF. Although I'm thankful that the project exists, with the lack of text selection, poor image quality and/or large file sizes, it feels bad serving it to the customer. Then I started to look into the printed version and I loved it. Learned some new stuff about css, being able to break a page before a specific element. Tables automatically repeat their header across a page break. I can also save this as pdf, better quality, 40x reduction in file size, yay! However, web api to start this is print(), no arguments, no alternatives. Putting this behind a "Download" buttons seems confusing for the end user. I'm amazed we can't use this built in pdf rendering engine in more flexible ways. (See TLDR for question)
