ye sorry but i ain't installing an entirely different distro, that seems kinda extreme

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 18 hours ago

i'll see if my motherboard has any similar options

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

is there any way i can upgrade without having to reinstall from scratch?

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

i'm on 550.107.02, the ubuntu-drivers command shows there are two 550 drivers one with -open after it, is that what you're talking about?

journalctl doesn't seem to report any GPU specific errors. nvtop shows no oddities that i could find.

i found that dragging the preview image on the fps showcase videos in nvidea's 4060 page makes firefox lag out with a glib-CRITICAL logged to the console. it says

(firefox:4349): GLib-CRITICAL **: 12:40:07.460: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed
[Parent 4349, Main Thread] WARNING: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed: 'glib warning', file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187

dunno if that has to do with anything tho

doubt it's the same problem i'm having because the lag spikes only affect blender, the rest of the DE works fine

 

i've recently acquired a 4060 ti for €300 from a seller that i've been told was reliable. after installing the gpu and updating the drivers to the latest recommended ones i've noticed odd lag spikes lasting several seconds when using blender, these did not happen when i used my previous gtx 1060 ti.
How can i go about diagnosing if it's a gpu or driver issue? any benchmarks or tools i should use?

i'm on linux mint 21.3 cinnamon.

i just use the YouTube site on firefox with adblock and sponsorblock. slightly janky but works

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago

not a perfect solution but better than nothing, i'll keep it in mind

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

sounds nice but no i need those extensions

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

no. i literally just want a way to open a site from an app shortcut in firefox.

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago

tried it again the extensions seem to work now, maybe it was a bug with firefox?
anyway the widgets the add to home screen thing adds don't open in the normal firefox app, there's no search bar for example

 

i use firefox with a lot of extensions, making the shortcut widget with the built-in add to home screen function won't work because it'll open the site with extensions disabled.

i've managed to make it work better by making the shortcut with internet disabled which opens the link in the actual firefox app but that gives the shortcut app a generic icon which looks bad.

i've searched around and there are apps that make shortcuts but no luck finding a foss one.

 

dunno how people will react to a 9/11 joke here, hopefully the it won't be too negative

remember .io games? that was 8 years ago

therealkepler replies:
nowadays the only people that use the .io domain are technology sites

nyancrimew replies:
ok so .io is a "fun" lesson in colonialism and technology, like all two letter top level domains (yes all of them) it's a country domain belonging to a country, io being the british indian oceans territory, an archipelago in the indian ocean. .io domains became so trendy because they're easily marketable to tech people (io can stand for input/output), it looks kinda cool and at the time domains with .io were highly available with not many websites being created on the islands.

however .io is not like other small islands with highly wanted tlds such as .ai or .to, where the islands make millions off of domain sales and can rely on them as a big pillar of their economy. all profits from .io sales go to the UK, and despite a fight to get control over their tld the islands get nothing, not only did the native population get displaced in land deals and colonialism but their colonizer also heavily profits off of the territories sudden (indirect) trendyness with tech startups.

don't buy .io domains, don't support the british empire.
