Someone started working on a Vulkan driver for TeraScale GPUs a few years ago:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/Triang3l/mesa/-/tree/Terakan

I believe it can run some demos add even works on windows.

Oracle ZFS is so obscure by now that it’s irrelevant.

As usual with Oracle products, it’s just a means to squeeze poorly led companies.

I tried to relate the limited niche where having closer together gearing makes a noticeable difference

You appear to be misunderstanding. This isn’t about making gearing be closer together, this is about increasing the range of the gearing by making the low end lower and only reducing the high end by a little.

If anything, the configurations I wrote about would make gear spacing less even as the default is quite nicely spaced.

What I need to know is whether the change in the low end is actually noticeable in an uphill scenario and by how much.

So I prefer to have as wide as my drivetrain supports. If I have any choice, I prefer a tighter set of low gears and a bailout final cassette cog.

It’s the same for me I think. I’d prefer some variety of low gears for uphills and some variety for relatively flat ground. I don’t very much care what’s in between as long as it’s not too far apart.

When I start riding, I usually use one of the lower gears for half a turn and then immediately switch the hub from 64% to 100% (skipping the gear in between) which is a jump from 2.64m to 4.14m or 3.25m to 5.10m and then usually up to 5th gear (6.49m) for a bit and then the 6th gear when conditions allow.

I wouldn’t worry about the total, and would start with the widest cassette that will work with your current setup. Then I would only change the front chainring if you still feel a lack of top speed.

This again appears to be a misunderstanding: This is a 6-speed Brompton.

6-speed here means 6 gears total, including the hub.

The gearing is as follows:

• Hub with 3 fixed ratios (64%, 100%, 157%)
• Derailleur between two sprockets that can be equipped with a maximum of 17 teeth due to size constraints
• One chainring (no derailleur)

I get to choose the two sprockets and the chainring. That’s it; there is no wider cassette that physically fits this frame.

The reason for changing the chainring is merely to shift the gearing down which isn’t possible by changing the sprockets because a sprocket larger than about 17T will physically not fit. Again, this is a Brompton with tiny 16" wheels that folds down to suitcase size.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s a good idea to say that fediverse == activitypub in the first place.

IMHO all services that work in an open federated manner based on open federation standards are part of the Fediverse. Whether that protocol is AP, Matrix, XMPP or, yes, even Email; it’s all open standards where instances openly federate with other instances that implement the same standard.
Hell, we could even bridge between protocols. Not saying it should but if Lemmy had a mailing list bridge, would you consider someone replying to Lemmy emails from their self-hosted email server as not being part of the fediverse?

For the same reason I don’t consider AT to be part of the fediverse because it doesn’t operate in a federated manner as control is entirely centralised.

Right but I do like to ride fast when possible. It’s not for competitive edge or anything; it’s just comfortable.

The main thing I want answered is whether the difference in metres of development in the low end actually makes a difference and how significant they are in practice.

If you’re not going to post what I asked for, nobody can help you.

Or just generally df -h | grep tmpfs and look for any significant usage.

I don’t know what this tool is or how it gets its “memory” metric. If you want to continue to use it, please ascertain that these values correspond to RSS by cross checking with i.e. ps aux. RSS is the memory exclusively held by a given process which is typically what mean by the “memory usage” of any given process. Note however that this does not count anonymous pages of a process that are swapped or shared with other processes.

Going into my task manager (Resources), I can see my using is using roughly 18/32GB of RAM despite closing all apps.

This does not tell you (or us for that matter) anything without defining what “using” means here. My system is “using” 77% of RAM right now but 45% of memory is available for use because it’s cached.

Please post the output of free -h aswell as swapon.

Next, please post the contents of /proc/meminfo.

Do you use ZFS?

That doesn’t make any sort of sense in this scenario.

There cannot be differences between CoreCTRL and LACT; they use the exact same kernel interfaces.

Your issue is therefore also not connected to any of these GUIs but how the kernel applies your policies.

I’d recommend you try to reproduce the issue using just the raw kernel files and report the issue upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/

Well then it sounds like it works just fine but your chosen value isn’t stable.

You can also just do the initial import on a NAS. It might take a day perhaps but, honestly, does that matter?

VR is pain enough as is; adding a Laptop with weird GPU setups into the mix is going to be even more pain.

Oh, this is the Linux gaming community. Multiply the pain by 10.

The originals remain untouched.

It is possible to override existing commands with aliases though. This is useful for setting flags by default. I have alias ls='ls --color' for instance such that whenever I run ls, it actually runs ls --color, providing colourful output.

Note that aliases are only a concept within your command line shell though. Any other program running ls internally won’t have the flag added and wouldn’t be able to use any of the other aliases either (not that it would know about them).

It’s very easy to program your own “proper” commands though on Linux. If you had some procedure where you execute multiple commands in some order with some arguments that may depend on the outputs of previous commands, you could write all that as a shell script, give it some custom name, put it in your $PATH and run it like any other command.

You could make aliases that are easier to remember for you.

If you e.g. had trouble remembering that mv does a rename, you could alias rename=mv. Ideally just put whatever you would have googled in “linux command to x” as the alias.

That’s the power of Linux; you can tweak everything to your preferences and needs.

There’s nothing further I can tell you. You’ll need to figure out which parts those sensors correspond to to draw any sort of conclusion.

I’d recommend you try the out-of-tree driver I linked. You can just rmmod the normal one and insmod the custom one at runtime.

The web version works without an account? That’d be news to me.

First of all you need to figure out which sensor this even is. On my nct6687, there’s a sensor on the PCIe slot that is constantly >90° and that appears to be totally normal.

Could you post the output of sensors?

Here is how it looks like on my machine:

Note that I use the https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d/ kernel module though. The upstream one doesn’t label many temps.

No that’s the trick: Mozilla corp is for-profit.

Sure but that won’t do anything about software issues :p
