  • DeepSeek R1 Is Reportedly Running Inference On Huawei's Ascend 910C AI Chips, Showing China's Growing AI Capabilities

    Jump

  • Not the best on AI/LLM terms, but I assume that training the models was done on Nvidia, while inference (using the model/getting the data from the model) is done on Huawei chips

    To add: Training the model is a huge single-cost expense, while inference is a continuous expense.

  • Are you by chance using an integrated GPU?

    Noticed that my AMD Radeon 680M uses quite a lot of RAM as shared memory.

    Using something like amdgpu_top will show how much RAM your iGPU is using, metric is 'GTT'

  • The whole downside is that not everyone is a data horder with space for videos

    Some media players allows for streaming directly using yt-dlp, e.g.;

    mpv <youtube url>

    Will use yt-dlp if installed

  • Xbox Controller Connection Issues

    Jump

  • One thing to try is to update the firmware of the controller, however that needs to be done on Windows, the Arch Wiki has some additional info where people explain pairing issues

    There's also a section on "able to pair but no inputs" in the troubleshooting section on the same Wiki page

  • That dump didn't reveal any particular useful information, however it seems like multiple people are reporting issues with mesa + segfault, e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=301550

    Mesa v24.3.2-1 in Arch should revert that issue, Mesa v24.3.1 seems to be the problem one

  • You could check the backtrace of one of your crashes

     
        
coredumpctl debug
> bt

    And then dump that trace here

    It might be related to Mesa/GPU drivers

  • How to properly test my internet speed from ISP?

    Jump

  • Sounds like you might just be max'ing out the capacity of the coax cable as well (depending on length/signal integrity). E.g. ITGoat (not sure how trustworthy this webpage is, just an example) lists 1 Gbps as the maximum for coax while you would typically expecting less than that, again depending on your situation (cable length, material, etc)

  • How to properly test my internet speed from ISP?

    Jump

  • What's your situation into the wall? Depending on country/ISP/regulations they might give you up to 1000 Mbps under the assumption that it's a single line going to a single user, however quite often that line is shared with potentially a lot of different customers.

    Some countries allows you to buy packages where you have a standalone line going to your wall, however at an additional cost

  • Best "just works" mesh router for open wrt?

    Jump

  • If all nodes are connected through ethernet to each other (or at least one common node) you could go for OpenWRT's 'Dumb AP' setup as well

    Edit: Already mentioned here; https://feditown.com/comment/1980836

  • Distro with working Xbox wireless adapter

    Jump

  • Maintainer has been absent for some time so kernel v6.11 and v6.12 isn't supported OOTB, to get it to work with kernel v6.11 you need to pull the fix from: !48

  • Newbies never listen...

  • If I remember correctly the default sudo timeout is set to 5 minutes on Yay, you should be able to increase it to something more reasonable

    X.org: no screens found

    Jump

  • Additionally you can try and force use amdgpu rather than radeon, by setting the kernel flags:

    radeon.cik_support=0 radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.dc=1

    X.org: no screens found

    Jump

  • Device initalization failed according to the Xorg logs;

    1. Dump your firmware version
    2. Dump your kernel version
    3. Dump your kernel logs (dmesg or journalctl -k)

  • Idea: hardware manufacturers should publish RSS feeds for firmware updates

    Jump

  • No bios update, but you most likely received both microcode updates (which is what will fix/mitigate the Intel issue, the bios is only to ensure everybody gets the microcode update) and firmware updates (from linux-firmware)

    Of course non-mainlined (i.e. not in the linux kernel) firmware is a bit more iffy, luckily it's getting slowly better with OEMs using fwupd for those scenarios

  • Help with swaywm window rules?

    Jump

  • Running: swaymsg for_window "[app_id=mpv] opacity 0.5"

    Works as expected on my end, are you missing just executing for_window?

    Note, you can also add multiple rules in the same execution, e.g.

     
        
for_window {
    [app_id=mpv] opacity 0.85
    [app_id=LibreWolf] opacity 0.85
}

    Also, note that app_id of LibreWolf is capitalized in that manner. You can get that information [app_id, shell etc] by running swaymsg -t get_tree

  • Nothing like that "new distro" feel

    Jump

  • Feel like most people still do the scripting in Bash for portability reasons, and then just run Fish as the interactive shell

  • backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to ssh server compromise

  • Nice, then you should be able to run vkcube to verify whether your GPU is activated properly.

    You can do several "iterations" here as well.

    1. Install Mangohud so you can visibly see if your GPU is activated correctly
    2. Run mangohud vkcube-wayland - Does it use your Nvidia GPU?
    3. Run mangohud vkcube - Does it use your Nvidia GPU?

    If Step 2 nor 3 shows your Nvidia GPU you can try and force it with: mangohud vkcube-wayland --gpu_number 0
