  • Where did the summer go? [Rollei 35 | 40mm f3.5 Tessar | Kodak Gold 200]

    Jump

  • Oh this looks better yeah. I know your pain with Darktable. I'm still trying to find out how to use it (and RawTherapee) as well

  • Does anyone here have a solution for KDE or Wayland crashing when VRAM runs out?

    Jump

  • I know that 8GB is too little. NVIDIA is really stingy when it comes to VRAM unfortunately. Beack when I made the decision this 3070Ti was the most expensive I could buy and I needed CUDA for some projects I was working on. Back then AMD's ROCm had bad support on consumer GPUs and also in libraries, so I didn't have a choice. I'm hearing better noises now though, so maybe my next card will be AMD.

    Either way, I'd expect at most the game to crash. That would be acceptable, though annoying. Preferably it'd use the RAM as a sort of swap, which would grind everything to a halt but wouldn't outright kill the game or my desktop. I really shouldn't be losing all open windows

  • Does anyone here have a solution for KDE or Wayland crashing when VRAM runs out?

    Jump

  • Ah that would explain the issues and the difference with Windows. I'm on NVIDIA yeah. Going over the VRAM limit and writing into RAM surely isn't ideal either, but it would beat crashing out entirely. It also seems that Unreal engine 5 games just consume all VRAM they can. Like they're almost claiming everything they can get away with, but somehow usually work fine. But once I alt+tab or switch workspace there is no VRAM left and Wayland commits sudoku (for good reasons).

    Jump

  • Oh yeah I found something similar just now which might work? Using DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.maxDeviceMemory = 6144:" %command% to try and limit the game to 6GB VRAM. It hasn't crashed since, but I'm unsure whether that's because of this. I could try the other parameter as well and see if that works, though reading the comments I'm unsure about that. Worth a try

    EDIT: I also found a comment on the NVIDIA forums detailing this solution. Apparently you can configure this system-wide, which would limit the VRAM on all DXVK games

  • Tweede Kamer is om: er komt een algeheel vuurwerkverbod in Nederland

    Jump

  • Misschien niet, maar dit maakt het wel makkelijker dan voorheen. Omdat je het nu niet meer makkelijk kunt krijgen zal een kleinere groep maar vuurwerk afsteken. En al het vuurwerk wat je ziet is verboden, dus elke knal die je hoort is illegaal. Hopelijk heeft tdit over de jaren na het verbod het effect dat het steeds minder wordt

  • Have you said Thank You once?

    Jump

  • I almost always thank the chatbot. I know it doesn't really have feelings or memory, but the way it talks always seems like it's so eager to help that I can't really help myself. I have a tendency to feel empathy for inanimate objects anyways, like a sad lonely apple in the supermarket, so feeling empathic to a chatbot isn't exactly out of the norm for me :3

  • Why do we continue to treat Death as an exception?

    Jump

  • That it's something that happens to all of us does not make it any easier to process. You still lose someone you love, sometimes very abruptly and while they could've easily lived years longer without an issue. You will never be able to speak to them, to see them in front of you, to hear their thoughts, to make new memories Witt them. Sometimes it also makes you lose a support network, a pivotal person that made your life better.

    It may be normal, but he mental impact will in many cases be huge.

  • Partial Solar Eclipse

    Jump

  • Yeah I was already a bit scared to damage something. The mirror was quite effective in rerouting all that light and heat through the viewfinder though, so it's probably fine (as long as you don't put your eye behind the viewfinder). But just to be sure I only aimed it at the sun when shooting the image.

    If a total solar eclipse were to happen I should probably invest in specific tools to capture it. For now I guess I will just refrain from flying too close to the sun

  • Partial Solar Eclipse

    Jump

  • Damn, that's the real work. I wasn't prepared, so I only figured out that this was happening close to the end. Even at the darkest settings that I could find (1/8000, f/36, ISO100) it was still too bright. Another complication is that I use a Canon EOS 40D which has an optical viewfinder and doesn't show the picture live on its screen. So I couldn't actually see where I was aiming. Anyway, I still got this one which is not what I wanted but it still looks cool and has the eclipsed sun in the lense flare.

  • Do any of you here use Programming socks?

    Jump

  • Programming socks provide a +2 programming skill buff. Their tight fit around the legs provides better blood flow through the legs which also means a better blood flow through the brain.

    They also make you more cute :3

  • Sour

    Jump

  • Damn I wasn't aware that eating kiwis (the fruit) wasn't vegetarian. I wish they thought us this in school...

  • Hullo! New to Beehaw! Show Me Your Nails!

    Jump

  • My nails are purple. They're pretty fucked tho, I was planning to remove it yesterday but I forgot. I'm AMAB and started painting my nails like 2 years ago. I expected people to be rude about it, but honestly I've mostly just gotten completes, well-meaning questions, and friendly jokes.

  • Who said you can't immerse yourself when playing with the opposite gender?

    Jump

  • I tend to play female characters. Only because of the smaller hitbox tho, definitely not for other reasons.

    :3

  • Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽

    Jump

  • I never used to be a morning person, but honestly I prefer it this way now. I want to have the work done before my free time, and I want my free time to have as much daytime as possible. Following my current working hours has me awake when the sun is up, which personally gives me way more energy than doing stuff in the dark. I'd love to wake up later, but honestly that just wastes a nice part of daytime. You can train your body to maintain a schedule like this and then any other one will feel weird.

  • Fair point. Yeah that fits exactly

  • This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting.

    Jump

  • Because I find calling hugely uncomfortable if I don't know what to expect. If the person on the other side wants something from me, they can inform me beforehand via a message so I can prepare. An unexpected call interrupts whatever I'm doing and therefore has no respect for my day. If I take the call I'll have to refocus on whatever I was doing again which can take time and will take me energy.

    Look, maybe it's because of Autism or AD(H)D, but task switching is something that costs me a lot of energy and causes a lot of chaos. When I get a message, I can easily decide whether it's actually worth my time, and in the case that it is urgent enough I can still usually clean up whatever I'm doing in such a way that I can easily continue. Getting a call forces my brain to drop everything on the spot (leaving behind a mess) in order to focus on the "being social " part, locks down one of my hands to hold my phone, and does not allow me to filter. Combine that with the numerous bullshit calls that I get from companies, spammers, and recruiters and you'll hopefully understand why I absolutely hate unexpected calls from random phone numbers.

    Calls can be very useful, but I'm only okay with it when it's expected or necessary. Having a friend or family member call (or better: asking if we can call) because they need to tell me something important or need my urgent attention is the best way to do it. I don't want a message if someone needs me right now, because I could easily read the message only 20 minutes later. Likewise, we're obviously not going to have remote meetings via chat at work, not am I going to game with friends over text chat. But even then it's often not oldschool calls with their horrible quality, need to hold the phone, and lack of video or screen sharing. It's services like mumble or other VoIP services.

    work related: is this something only an autistic would ask?

    Jump

  • Okay I'm autistic so I might be missing stuff as well, but really the only reasoning I can think of is the following: They might be very understaffed when you called and therefore busy, that's why they assigned you after all. She might have been working her ass off when you called (or the whole day before you called) and be completely stressed out. Especially if you called during her working hours. Assuming you called during working hours, you were probably distracting her from all the important work she is stressing about to ask a question that from her context kinda equates to "is water wet?".

    Assuming all (or most) of these assumptions are true I can understand why she got annoyed, even if it's mostly a miscommunication. If she was very busy and stressed you probably also became a bit of a lightning rod for all the stress that built up over the day.

    I don't think this necessarily a "mistake" that only autistic people would make. In the wrong conditions this could happen to anyone. But as an autistic person I do recognize that stuff like this often happens more to me because I tend to find things that are "obvious" and "dumb questions" to neurotypicals absolutely not obvious. Combine that with often not understanding how others will feel, and it becomes very easy to make these mistakes as someone who's autistic.
