Anybody here with a discrete AMD GCN GPU and is able to trigger this bug with #Rusticl ? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11268

I wonder if I need to get myself a GCN GPU in order to fix a few bugs...

anybody experience with having a .local .lan .whatever domain for the local network based on hostnames or static assignments with openwrt?

I kinda want to move away from static IP addresses in my local network or rather.. I don't want to have to use them directly and was wondering what's the best way to configure it that it gets properly resolved.

karolherbst OP ,
@karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

@erincandescent yeah, I was thinking the same, but it doesn't work. Maybe I messed with the config too much at some point, or maybe something else is going wrong. In any case, it doesn't work.

karolherbst OP ,
@karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

@tk @erincandescent sure, but I'm using dnsmasq and afaik all the required options are set.

if I could add one item to my wishlist of things we absolute have to do better that would be a better initramfs thing

karolherbst OP ,
@karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

@buzzle well yes, but that's where the trouble starts.

Some people have full disk encryption. Some people have an externdal display on a laptop they have in dock and placed it's not in the way.

Then you need to load DRM drivers, which then also might need huge firmware blobs (e.g. ~50MB for nouveau atm)

karolherbst OP ,
@karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

@oblomov @buzzle yeah.. or you know, keep most of the files outside of the initramfs, sign them and at them to an unencrypted partition or something.

karolherbst OP ,
@karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

@oblomov @buzzle sure, and? The issue isn't really if somebody messes with it and it breaks, but rather the entire model we have for it.

Like you regenerate initramfs on one system and then things don't boot on another, because random drivers are missing or other random nonsense.

karolherbst OP ,
@karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

@oblomov @buzzle initramfs generated for a single system is just a big mistake imho and we should have never done it in the first place.

It just makes repairing systems a nightmare once you attach the storage to a different machine, or chroot into the storage and want to update/regenerate things with a non broken kernel.

    anybody know if external USB-C drives were kinda trashed between 6.3.5 and 6.3.12 or something? Because apparently updating the kernel to 6.8.9 from a different system made it work? Maybe? Hopefully?

    karolherbst OP ,
    @karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

    @VegaHarmonia seems like they are, because I was already able to do dnf upgrade and now I'm even more crazy and just do a full release update 🙃

    I continue to blame the kernel.

    karolherbst OP ,
    @karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

    @VegaHarmonia okay, it survived two system-upgrades 🙃 I think I'm good now.

    karolherbst OP ,
    @karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

    @INCO maybe? Though in my case it always happened right after the desktop started and was super reliable. But maybe there was a bug, and it got somehow fixed, but it's still there.

    Anyway, after a kernel update it's stable enough for me to use it.

    The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

    increased individual productivity is company speak for externalizing costs to the health sector.

    Also, adding more process to "increase productivity" is a lie. You only end up forcing people spending time on process on top of what they've done before.

    You win nothing besides burning through your employees on purpose, because at the end of the day, burning through people and hiring new ones is cheaper for you, but not for society.

    It really bugs me how so many people act as if there's a magic "click here to implement [feature]" button, and completely discount the fact that Free Software like Linux is largely developed by unpaid volunteers.

    Yeah, sure, they shouldn't need money and resources to implement accessibility features, they are super simple! Every other OS* has them!

    *(Windows and Mac, both developed by small mom and pop shops)

    karolherbst ,
    @karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

    @Len0w0ThinkBad there is an interesting aspect to this and that's getting FOSS/Linux used by governments (as in, paying local IT firms instead of big corpo). However they usually have high requirements on accessibility, which ultimately ends with a chicken-egg problem, because only big companies (e.g. Red Hat) are able to promise on those aspects.

    So there is some chicken-egg problem right here, but I think that's solvable if governments would be willing to invest big in Linux accessibility.

    We need to start teaching classes on AI not because AI is the future, but because as far as I can tell the majority of people are literally incapable of understanding what an AI actually does.
    It feels like when people see ChatGPT mis-answer something they think "ah must just be a bug, it'll get fixed".
    No. That's not a bug. It gives bogus answers because it doesn't do anything but generate a sentence that looks similar to what an answer to your question could look like

    karolherbst ,
    @karolherbst@chaos.social avatar

    @Lyude my biggest fear is that AI grants some kind of "human" rights and then companies will treat is as such and make the AI responsible for everything and the AI goes to jail "because it has feelings you know, just like humans" and ....

    This week's project: Reworking NVK cbuf support. We've had a lot of issues with too much internal stalling and I think a lot of them come down to the fact that we're re-binding cbufs every draw call.

    My plan for root constants, is to do inline updates with the LOAD_CONSTANT_BUFFER command. I don't know how much of a difference there is but I strongly suspect this pipelines much better.

    For bound cbufs, I'm planning to just make our dirty tracking way more competent.

    We'll see how it goes!
