  • Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?

    Jump

  • If you're okay programming, something like fenics or moose probably does what you need! There are GUI viewers for the results, but the equations and model setup are defined with code (usually python). You would import your mesh/cad generated with another tool

  • I've had a lot of regressions, almost entirely around graphics drivers. I have like the worst case scenario. A 4K laptop (also dell) with an nvidia GPU in a prime configuration with the Intel graphics. Until very recently everything was laggy or unstable or unsupported. With recent drivers things have been more fine.

    I also have weird audio issues like the card sometimes selecting a non available profile when disconnected from HDMI (hence why I asked about that)

    CUPS has been really stable for me. Idk

    Also yeah, docks seem to expose all of the bugs, even on windows. For the longest time I couldn't get my keyboard to work if booting with a dock, and I still have weird resolution issues with booting while connected sometimes.

  • On an entirely different note, as far as I'm aware secure boot should have zero noticeable performance impact, and if it does, that means that something is going horribly wrong. Guides tell you yo disable secure boot because it's annoying/semis complicated to administer and makes installing out of kernel modules harder (like the nvidia drivers), not because it has a performance or stability impact on the system.

  • Does it get better?

    Jump

  • Hmm. If it's persistent across installs then something is definitely borked. My next step would be to download the livecd images of a couple distributions and see if the audio works while booting into any of those live environments (ventoy makes this really painless)

    When you reinstall, you're not keeping any configuration, right?

    If none of the livecd images work I'd liveboot windows and see if audio works there. If it doesn't, definitely a hardware issue. If it does, then see if it starts working under Linux again. If it doesn't, then something is incredibly cursed and I'm out of ideas since it used to work there.

    Edit: a stupid question: do you have the right output profile selected for the card. Something like stereo duplex?

  • Does it get better?

    Jump

  • That sounds like a pretty cursed occurrence. As you get more familiar with the structure of your operating system, I've found diagnosing and fixing weird issues gets a lot easier. You also get a better sense of what component is responsible for what and what commands let you investigate.

    I think it's reasonable to say that weird issues don't stop though. At least for me. I always had tons of weird occurrences on windows too. What feels different about Linux is that I try and figure them out because it's possible I can. Where on windows I would just accept that x was broken.

    For a random question in case it's the same no audio bug I encountered recently: Do you happen to play audio via HDMI? And does any audio sink (speakers, etc...) show up in sound settings?

    Also do you happen to be using an nvidia gpu (and if so, is it a laptop with an Intel CPU as well?). That freezing issue used to happen to me all the time with some games and it was entirely due to nvidia's Linux driver bugs.

  • The struggle is real

  • The Future is NOT Self-Hosted

    Jump

  • There's so much to host that isn't related to pirated media sharing though. I host like 5 services and only one could be related to that. I know you clarified that you're talking about content, but there's also so much content that isn't related to pirating either. Like most of the fediverse for example

  • What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside?

    Jump

  • Yeah it's worked everywhere I've tested. But that's only really been airport WiFi, so I'm not sure it's indicative of it working in general. It's easy enough to setup for testing that it's probably worth a shot

  • What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside?

    Jump

  • I like zerotier over wireguard because it's one layer lower. So anything that uses Ethernet frames can be routed over it like it was a network switch plugged into your computer. This is probably why mdns works.

  • Finally a solution to the Königsberg Bridge problem.

    Jump

  • That would make the earth a donut lol and would work!

  • Finally a solution to the Königsberg Bridge problem.

    Jump

  • You run into it on the planet backside and then need another bridge, right?

  • Finally a solution to the Königsberg Bridge problem.

    Jump

  • A problem with this is that the river presumably goes all the way around the earth. Otherwise you could just travel west until you found its end. You really need a donut shaped earth, a sphere doesn't help much

    The biggest black hole smashup ever detected challenges physics theories

  • Sadly this is an inaccurate illustration drawn by an artist and not an actual image :(. Black holes look both pretty different and cooler than that (like more interstellar vibes)

  • What's saturated light and what is bingodabbing?

  • Do any of you have a buttload of RAM sitting around?

    Jump

  • That's kinda an insane amount of ram for most simulations. Is this like a machine learning thing? Is his python code just super unoptimized? Is it possible he's making a bunch of big objects and then not freeing the references when he's done with them so they're never garbage collected?

  • The Anti-Cheat Dilemma: A New Hope for Linux Gamers?

    Jump

  • You can always do that though since you can dualboot to whatever other system you want. I thought their idea was to have a mode you turn on and off in your main system, but I think that's just how kernel anti-cheat would already work.

  • Finishing my icon theme, taking tips/ suggestions

  • Looks really nice!

    Like astrsk, I feel like the stroke might be slightly too thick at some sizes. I would make it approximately 20% thinner. (Though depending on how these are constructed that might be too much work. If so, it's not bad as is)
