they are just adware as their primary purpose so efficiency immediately falls by the wayside

second monitor view:

some info:

  • this has only happened in one game (Total War Warhammer 3) and the card has been performing more or less fine otherwise, although i have been noticing some minor artifacting in stuff like Firefox.

  • my PSU is old as fuck and technically underpowered for the card (EVGA 750W gold from 10 odd years ago) and I'm also using a 2 head splitter cable to power two of the three 8 pin headers.

  • CPU is a 9900k which is certainly throttling this thing

my thoughts are to just buy a new PSU and see if that fixes it. i can RMA anytime so I'd rather wait and see. just wanted to hear some folks thoughts as this is stressing me out a fair bit

i lean towards the latter but want to hear hexbears thoughts on this. pic unrelated it's my DS3 SL1 character after beating the dancer

I've been saying for years they're gonna find some new and strange way vapes are worse for you than cigarettes

Some popular disposable e-cigarettes emit toxic metals at levels that surpass those found in traditional cigarettes and earlier generations of vapes, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis.

The study, published Wednesday in ACS Central Science, found that a single day’s use of one disposable device released more lead than nearly 20 packs of conventional cigarettes.

Researchers also identified hazardous concentrations of nickel and antimony — metals linked to cancer, nerve damage and respiratory illness — in the aerosol emitted by seven devices from three widely used disposable vape brands.

“Our study highlights the hidden risk of these new and popular disposable electronic cigarettes — with hazardous levels of neurotoxic lead and carcinogenic nickel and antimony — which stresses the need for urgency in enforcement,” Brett Poulin, assistant professor of environmental toxicology at UC Davis and the study’s senior author, said in a statement.

Using a lab device to simulate 500 to1,500 puffs per product, the UC Davis researchers found that metal concentrations increased with use. Leaded bronze components and degrading heating coils were identified as major sources of contamination.

“When I first saw the lead concentrations, they were so high I thought our instrument was broken,” lead author Mark Salazar said in a statement.

Four of the devices emitted nickel and lead at levels surpassing safety thresholds for neurological and respiratory damage. Two exceeded cancer risk limits due to antimony content.

EDIT - I SOLVED THE PROBLEM LOL

i had a timeshift snapshot that was like 500GB because i had been including /home in my backups. fixed.

So, my system has been complaining that my main OS drive is almost completely full. However, I just deleted like 250GB of games off it to fix the problem. It's a 2TB SSD.

output of df says i only have 52GB free:

Dolphin file manager agrees. However, using Filelight, and my own reckoning, I can only account for 660GB of space used up.

even doing du -sh */ from / only seems to show about 1TB of space used on the disk. Where is my other ~800GB of space?

So, me and my girlfriends share my linux desktop, and we all play videogames through steam. I have a fairly good solution for sharing the steam game files between users which as you may know is a slight pain on linux especially with games requiring proton. So, the current workaround we have to do is for each user to take ownership of the shared directory after they log in. I've been putting off finding a more elegant solution so i just set up a quick alias for everyone to do it for the time being. The command is this:

sudo chown -R user1:steam /share/steam/

The games live in /share/steam, and i created a steam group which we all belong to. However it's my impression there is no "true" shared ownership of linux directories, they seem to want to always be associated with a primary user which doesn't play nice with steam and proton. It seems to be a shortcoming with proton more than anything, i did read an article which explains how to create your own fork of proton which fixes this issue, but i want the freedom of being able to hop around proton versions rather than that limitation.

I would like to move to a more elegant solution where this permissions change happens automatically in the background, on login of a given user. I'm sure that it's possible, but i haven't been able to find a perfect solution by looking around. It seems like making a systemd module might be best? I'm probably gonna give that a go, but i wanted to see if anyone had a better idea or any feedback at all.

Thanks!

tried clearing cookies and site data. it's been happening since around the time of the domain name panic. hitting the "next" button takes 5+ seconds to load the next page of posts, and if I'm past page 1 then even hitting browser back from a comments page takes like 5-10 seconds to load the page i was just on which is a pain. post bodies and comments load fast, just post lists after page 1 that are slow.

after some cursory testing it seems like only the first page of posts is getting cached. browser back from page 2 to page 1 is fast. page 3 to page 2 is extremely slow. the "previous" button has been broken for me for months and months also fwiw.

what i see when posts are loading, guessing the top page elements are getting cached but posts are getting requested every time (except page 1) and it's slow as hell. not enough into networking to do any more rigorous testing really but i might try.

he is going mask off Adolf Hitler mode recently (since a few years) and apparently it's causing a split in the party with most preferring to remain cryptofascist lol. they don't have any real mass support yet thankfully but still, sucks that nobody has killed this guy yet and the state just lets him do this shit.

what can you even say

this is being handled so childishly by what seems like a good handful of the mods and admins lol. complete shit show. why not just lock the thread and perma everyone criticizing you all at this point, or do you enjoy arguing with us that much? i acknowledge that some users have acted overly hostile and crossed lines which sucks for you all to have to deal with but you all have created this situation (problem was fake to begin with) and gone on to drop the ball on resolving it several times in comical fashion.

a plea to the admins generally: please address the flagrant transphobia/bizarre gender essentialism that was the thrust of a couple of the (anonymous!) mod takes from the big thread. if this gets swept under the rug my faith in admins/mods to consistently oppose bigotry will be severely damaged. the silence is already deafening on the issue.

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 73 points 1 year ago

real, it's downright offensive considering the sites demographics

modlog link (CW for misogyny and transphobia): https://hexbear.net/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2019549

sorry to be an armchair admin but noticed this user around today. took a look at their modlog and noticed they have a previous siteban and today had posts removed for overt misogyny and transphobia (the transphobia was a necro of a year-old bookclub thread about Feinberg... bizarre).

anyway, i noticed they've only received a 2-day ban just from the CTH comm. i guess this is in line with the new policies around combating misogyny, but imo this should be a pretty clear cut case for a perma site ban. user from another instance with a previous ban, pops up today and starts posting vile misogyny and seeking out old posts to do transphobia on. why give them a third chance?
