Cause I'm not exactly sure how three surge protectors have somehow contained a chunk of the house so far, and I've found only one of them died after all these years.

depending on where you live, major surge events might just not be all that frequent or severe. i'm 35 and i've only experienced two or three of them.

I probably should look into replacing them, they are tucked away in a very tight corner. I shocked myself a little trying to plug one thing into one due to accidently pressing my thumb against a non-ground metal pin in the middle of pushing it down
>>
>>108216738
They're largely superfluous anyway. Most things have surge protection built in for the last 20 years or so. Protection from outside surges is better accomplished at the service entrance with a whole house surge protector because it has access to the fattest wires.

You can't easily prove existing code is safe, so you'd need to rewrite a lot of code anyway
Rust is basically C++ but with safety and nicer syntax, so if you're gonna rewrite your code or write it from scratch, might as well use it. Maybe like a decade ago an argument would've been an immature library/tooling ecosystem but nowadays this is no longer a concern either

Do 16 and 24bit ADCs capture the same signal, just with the latter having less quantisation? If I understand it, the sampling process captures the signal the same regardless of bit depth and the bit depth just affects the quantisation strength and therefore noise.

i haven't been able to save images off of gelbooru at all lately.
i usually save by method of dragging and dropping the image into a folder. this results in a broken image. i inspected these files with a hex editor. they're HTML documents.
this is confusing because i usually click directly into the original image. i'm saving it from its source address.
the conventional method of saving, right-click > save as..., results in failed downloads. i have to open the download panel and click the retry button until it works.
this is all also replicatable in private browsing mode. so i have to ask
1) what the fuck?
2) how do you even begin to troubleshoot this bullshit?
3) why is it only gelbooru
everything works fine in chrome, but that browser is malware garbage nothing is ever going to get me to use it.

unless you find the right microsoft employee you're not going to get a concrete answer. but the main visible differences are that it lists the pc on your microsoft account page and uses your microsoft account email for logins and file permissions. i'd assume it also ties system telemetry to it, which again nobody knows exactly how much they're collecting or what.

because you said please. keep in mind this is for a normal account. for local, if there is no internet access I assume it's fine but don't quote me. don't know why you wouldn't go for w10 or even older at that point
where to start with 11, it's textbook enshittification in every aspect, UI/UX, bloat, instability, probably more but let's not forget privacy. even dicking around in the settings and making sure every setting is how you want it, there are still plenty of background processes that send data their way

it's firefox. every problem happens just the same in private browsing, with ublock and all my userscripts turned off. it's incredibly intermittent too. sometimes every image i drag and drop is corrupted, sometimes it's just a few. this has led to me bulk saving junk corrupted images without realizing and it's just getting annoying.
it happened with this image just now https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=13507391&tags=hatsu ne_miku
again i have a script that lets me click the image and it just replaces the current url with the image i clicked, so i'm actually saving it from: https://img2.gelbooru.com/images/7a/45/7a45fa1d347eda59b8b4abbab686a35 b.jpg
by dragging and dropping it into a folder
this is the same as clicking the original image link on the left. it happens there too. so i guess it's not my script

Is there a way to reduce your fans rev up? Every 2m40s my CPU (7800x3d) temp will spike and the fans rev up before returning back to normal. Every single time guaranteed. Doesn't matter what's happening in game the temps can be 50c or less idle, but every 2m40s it will spike to 70c cause the fans to spin loud.
The fact it's happening on a fixed interval must mean it's a setting you can change right? I'd rather the fans run constantly than think the game's about to crash because the fans are going crazy..

Are all the AI predictions fear mongering?
I use AI weekly and have noticed rapid improvements in the past months/years, but theres always a barrier I feel like it cant cross. It still makes insane mistakes and looks nowhere near as natural as a human, but then again I look at the predictions, podcast etc and they all say that all jobs will be run by AI by 2030, but how close are we actually? Also can we really just "scale it up" because there for sure are limits to how far that can go.
>>
>>108224135
It's just narrative cover for outsourcing. AI won't make any fundamental improvements until millennials start to retire. It's a field that moves forward one death at a time like clockwork since the 40s and probably before then.
>>
>>108224135
Depends on what your goal of the future is, if AI gets as good as its getting why bother bring in all these immigrants? At that point having a declining birthrate but AI helping less humans do more within 8 hours a day, or even have AI do stuff like warehouse work 24/7 it will just make everyone's quality of life better.
The problem is politicians, old modes of economic activity, and such (all of the meme reasons you see in media) have a vested interest in pushing it forward or handicapping it.
I wouldn't worry about AI and mainly a lot of the people losing their jobs or freaking out about losing their job come in two camps:
>financially irresponsible retards who didn't save and kept chasing the hedonic treadmill as their income expanded
>people who have children or young children that you should actually feel bad for, regardless of their saving habits
But if you aren't saving now for either an eventual layoff or for education to retrain into something else, you are building your own house of cards.

The end user is not supposed to use Windows CMD. Looking at that wiki page, it looks like it supports over half a dozen shells.
>There's no out-of-the-box support for Windows CMD when it comes to custom prompts. There is however a way...
You should read this as "Posh doesn't support CMD". Go find something else built for CMD. Hint, there's probably not a lot of it, because CMD is fucking garbage and almost nobody uses it seriously.
But hey, if you really want to, there's actual instructions on a way you can still get it to work. I don't see why you're complaining: the thing you want to use isn't compatible, but instead of telling you "go write your own framework if you want to support your shitty shell nobody uses", they found a workaround to make it work anyway.
If you want an experience that works out of the box and where the dev actually thought about the end user's perspective, just use any of the other eight (8) options which are not explicitly marked with "there is no support".

Learn by doing. For practical stuff that means making stuff, doing projects, etc. Even if the course is not structured with project and you're expected to just memorise for some reason, for your own sake you should set up a dev environment and try out the things you're learning. Programming is a craft, if you were learning woodworking you wouldn't just stare at a book. Get your tools out and at minimum try out the subject of the lesson, ideally if you really want to learn you should experiment with stuff and try out some related things ("what if I do it this way?", "can I extend or configure this to do that as well?", etc.)
For any more theoretical courses like maths, logic, etc. learning by doing means doing exercises and ideally also trying to play around with the various concepts. If I can prove this under this condition, what happens if I change the condition? If this logic formula can be reduced this way, what if I change it a bit, does it still work now? Etc.
>how many hours a day
Honestly I have no idea, but my advice would be to start off working hard and see how far you get in the material. If it's easy and you're bored you can always slack off later, but if you start off ignoring lectures and procrastinating the months away and then you suddenly find out the material is too hard to cram before the exam then you'll be a bit screwed.
First year doesn't really matter much as long as you don't drop out though.
>>
>>108227575
there are like half a dozen different degrees "in computing" you'd need to be more specific. if it's software development/computer engineering/computer science the best way to study is usually to actually make programs and run them.
if this is more some kind of IT thing, you should honestly consider certification instead, at least in the US most employers don't give a shit about anything but certs and experience.

Hey anons, in C++, I used in some older code an uint (just so to not typeunsigned inteverywhere) guard at the very beginning of a header file (actually just a main) that ran fine as then:#ifndef uint
#define uint unsigned int
#endif // uint
#include <unordered_map>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
...
But that was on a Windows PC. After trying it again, now on a Linux one, that guard conflicts with C++'s own files. If I move the#ifndefblock to after the includes, it compiles without issues.
Would this be compiler related? I don't remember which one I used with Windows back then, however it likely was that one bundled with MinGW.
Any clues as to why that may actualy be happening? Much appreciated at any rate.

Because it's down to individual aesthetic design and sometimes web designers are retarded.
There is a standard text size, and a standard font, but there are plenty of ways to override it - ostensibly for special content or specific designs - and nowadays it is absolutely normal for every website to ignore the defaults completely and just specify its own values for literally everything, thus making the standards effectively useless. There's no way to enforce it since there ARE genuine reasons to override the size for various UI elements etc., and when the functionality exists there's no way to police websites and prevent them from abusing it to make the main content ugly.

I'm wanting to build a NAS and have a pair of matching 8TB drives, as well as a pair of 4TB drives. Is it possible to set up the NAS with two separate RAID1 configurations? Or is there a better way to utilize the drives in the NAS?
>>
>>
>>
>>108235356
If you buy a pre-build NAS with its own firmware, like Synology, then it depends on the built-in firmware/OS. If you build your own running linux then it's literally just a computer and you can configure it however you want.
A pair of RAID1s would work and be simple enough. Main disadvantage is that you'd have partitioned storage, but you can set up LVM on top of it to merge both into 12TB of contiguous usable space.
Also remember muh RAID isn't a backup. You can always do something like 8+4 under LVM as 12TB of storage, and then 8+4 as backup disks that are unmounted except for periodic backup operations.

base chromium, no. it has ublock origin lite, which is a dumbed down version. google deliberately gimped functions ubo uses and now the lite version is the best you can do. some browsers that are based on chromium either continue to support old mv2 extensions and those still work with ubo but it's unclear how sustainable this is in the long-term.

How do VLAN actually work?
Can I typically inspect the packet headers at my switch? I want to see what exactly is going on in my network.
I have a problem where I can't seem to set up my VLANs correctly for an aimesh router to send guest network packets. People on the internet have solutions, but they don't work for me. I read some Cisco docs about their vlans and I still don't understand why things like labelling a port as Trunk/Access/Hybrid is necessary or has any effect vs assigning tagged/untagged ids to each port.

I did that for a couple of years. My main takeaways were that almost everything can be done on a computer, EXCEPT:
>maps (at least offline)
>live botnet maps (traffic updates for driving, closing times of nearby establishments, etc.)
>ridesharing (i.e. Uber, Lyft)
Taking out your laptop to check a map is massively painful, and Uber/Lyft basically don't work except using the app. So if you're travelling, it's a major handicap.
And the other thing is that SMS is annoying to type with a T9 keyboard, and also some of the shitter dumbphones still have limitations from 1995 like storing a maximum of 200 text messages in your history, having a maximum of 100 contacts, etc.
If you're fine with typing on a T9 and you don't travel much then it's great. Having an older shitty android is still useful for taking with you on travels at least, to avoid having to lug around a laptop if you don't need it, and to be able to look things up on the go while travelling.
You can also stock up on a compact ereader and a small chink music player if you like those things.
It's possible to get self-contained satnavs btw, but they generally suck and are more expensive and clunkier than an android running lineage/graphene and using osmand or organic maps.

Just to confirm before I do something stupid, there's no issue with cloning Windows onto a smaller drive?

As long as you're not using more than 120GB of space, it's probably fine

i use ungoogled chromium + chrlauncher https://github.com/henrypp/chrlauncher which handles the update process as ungoogled disables auto-updates entirely
as for tiworker that's the trusted installer which is a privileged windows service/account that handles installing some things. usually it's triggered by background updates. if you're not on windows home, you can use gpedit to configure windows updates how you want, one of the options lets you set it to notify before downloading or installing updates. it would still kick in on its own if for example you plugged in a new device that needed driver software, though.

Well, it is fear mongering, but that doesn't mean it's untrue. There really seems to be a goal for society where no one actually makes their own decisions and get bossed around by megacorps for every little thing, including being told who to hate, and pay for the privilege of doing so, and the balance of power has reached a point where the politicians can't say no or they'll get killed. There's no expectation of a net positive outcome, seems to be the only thing up in the air is just what fraction of the global population will be able to live happy lives and what those people will look like.

Vlans segregate the network so you don't put unnecessary stress on your machines, to keep your IP pool working, and for segmentation that can make managing the devices easier.
You can inspect the packets with packet captures.
Labeling ports is important because it tells the switch what it'll do and what it won't. Trunk ports communicate switches between each other, access ports communicate end-user devices.
In the end, it's all about keeping things clean.

this is my field and yes, it is mostly cert-based. employers generally want relevant certs and relevant experience. if you lack one, get the other, ideally have both. a+ will get you entry level helpdesk stuff. i actually have a lot of experience but i'm just now getting my a+ because it's a situation where if you don't have it your resume just gets filtered out by ACS and not even looked at.
some employers will pay for certs so if you can keep looking while you're studying, try to get your foot in the door. put on your resume that you're pursuing it, that'll help get you past acs at least.
some government job placement agencies may also be able to help you with the cost if you qualify for any of their programs, it's at least worth asking.

you'd probably want to do entry level stuff to get a bit of experience on your resume and maybe have the employer pay for certs, then work your way up. a+ is the obvious starter, beyond that there's more debate. on the comptia track, a+ and security+ are next in that order, server+ might be useful, they have a few others you can look at too. for network admin work, ccna is useful for anything cisco and cisco shit is very widely used. for active directory/windows admin, take a look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/windows-s erver-hybrid-administrator/ which afaik is the only windows server/adds cert that still covers on-prem after they've transitioned all their certs to cloud. for linux, i'm not sure, maybe something from redhat? i'm more in the windows world.

"linux" isn't even a single community, let alone a corporate body that can be subject to legislation.
but in practical terms, basically what would happen is only OS's that have some certification that they put in age verification would be able to access some resource or another... but also practically speaking no one is installing shit to interact with the government. not in a OMG SPOOKS sense, gubberments just prefer web pages for most stuff and app ecosystems are always a huge mess. I guess they could do it for things using an app, but those are few and far between and are already installed through Google Play or Apple Store which already feature age verification and pretty easy ways to double-check that the user's account is either obviously an adult (used a credit card and the name lines up, no children have their own credit cards, or maybe just the account itself is literally 21 years old which is very possible at this point) or has done some kind of age verification
requiring windows to do it would be theoretically enforceable that way since there is a windows app store but no one fucking uses it. and again, any gubberment application will probably be a web page and browsers aren't very good at automagically gleaning actual user account stuff. they barely work with windows' own attempts at SSO as it is

Sounds to me like you don't know what private networks are. But anyway: you can obviously craft some firewall rules that pick the whatever current private IP block and only allow that one into your SSH port. But it wouldn't make any difference as you are inside a private net anyway.
As said: it requires extra effort to be reachable from the outside internet, not the other way around.

I applied on Indeed on a lark, got an interview, and that was that.
at a tipsy (rather than outright drunken) christmas season luncheon, my boss admitted that I "oozed personality" at the interview, and very early on (like in the first week) I found my resume sitting out and asked off the cuff what about it stood out and what my competition was like: apparently I was competing with people who are much more boring but somehow even more incompetent and even bigger flight risks.
my going theory is that my bosses for at least three levels up are all lunatics, and gave up on the whole process once they found a fellow lunatic who knows how to type and is ex-mil, because the job itself is incredibly simple despite a pretty dire looking job description, but is directly involved in military business so you need a lot of patience, enough outside knowledge to have come across "righty tighty lefty loosy" and to already know a few more acronyms than the average cowadoody player.

I recently decided to completely ditch Windows and go with an all Linux environment, Specifically for bazzite. I was already dualbooting with mint but I had them installed on two separate ssd's so I thought it would be easy to just overwrite windows with bazzite and call it a day. Turns out this was the WORST mistake I could have made. My bootloader fucked itself and anytime I went back to mint from bazzite it either took five minutes to boot, froze completely, or went into emergency mode and I had to update the grub Everytime this happened. I've decided to nuke both bazzite and mint and just reinstall both of them, but what's the correct order to install them so the grub boot works properly? Should I install mint first or bazzite? I use a graphics tablet that works better with X11 and there are optimizations for specific games I play on bazzite so that's why I want to dualboot and not just pick one over the other.

Pro tip that you should print on A4 paper and stick on the wall above your monitor:
>Linux distributions DO NOT identify each other when installed on the same computer and DO NOT cooperate.
It can be done with some manual effort.
**Most important prerequisite:** each Linux install must have its own /boot directory (whether it's on separate partitions or not, doesn't matter). If you have kernels from multiple distros in the same /boot directory then it will never work correctly (not without massive effort).
Then, you need to decide how you'll choose between distros: in the EFI boot menu (easiest to implement) or GRUB (nicest and easier to use).
If you go with EFI selection then there's nothing else to do, just spam F12 or whatever when you want to choose the non-default entry, there you'll see an option for each of your distros (ubuntu, steamos, etc.) based on the directories that each has created on the ESP.
I prefer GRUB selection, so I have manually installed a separate (third) GRUB instance on the ESP, called "grub" and use that to select between the other two GRUB configurations.
Each distro updates its own configuration when needed (`update-grub` runs on *Ubuntu after kernel updates) and they don't interfere with each other or with the independent GRUB instance.
Long post, but I would go with the EFI selection first, first of all because it will be easier to understand and second because you can always add the GRUB selection step later when/if you have a better grasp on the boot "process" (which is more like a mess when Linux is involved, sadly).

SSH can't "accept" traffic from a different IP network because that traffic won't reach it to begin with.
You can't reach 192.168.0.1/24 from 192.168.1.1/24, not without a router in between, so SSH will never see any other traffic except from its own network.
What is its own network? Any IP network that it listens on, which can be multiple.
It's not clear where your confusion starts, but it definitely spans many different areas. Do you believe that a service only listens on one interface, or on one IP, or something? Because it's not the case.

First of all probably not, depending on how many other fans you have. Though exhaust fans are usually somewhat better than intake fans, so if you have e.g. a front intake fan that fits on the back you could swap it into the back for now. But really it'll be fine.
Secondly for the past probably 25+ years, all components monitor their own temperature and can throttle their own performance if it gets too high. You basically never have to be afraid of high temps; if you do something too intensive and things get too hot, you'll just see your PC getting really slow. In the extreme case your PC will shut itself down. This is annoying but perfectly safe, and you can know in the future to not do that thing because it's too intensive; there's no reason to be careful if you're not getting issues like that, or if you're fine living with the slowdowns.
Maybe, possibly, if you run a CPU without any heatsink at all, it might heat up so fast that it could be dangerous before the emergency shutdown has time to kick in. You'd have to run it literally naked though and even then I'm not sure if this is even dangerous at all. As long as you have SOME heatsink on the CPU, it's safe, and the worst that can happen is your PC will be slower.
In your case you still have your CPU cooler in place (I assume) so the case fan is likely a complete non-issue.

Can't hurt, if you've got your whitelists configured properly.
Tracking by IP is unreliable, fingerprinting works but not everyone uses it. Cookies are a low-tech and very reliable way to track a single browser, as long as the user doesn't delete them. The majority of people do not in fact delete their cookies, so as a result they're still frequently used even by stuff like trackers.
Basically if a website really wants to track you despite your efforts to the contrary, it will use fingerprinting. Cloudflare does this for example. This is because it's not enough to track "most" people, but rather the people who would try to avoid the tracking are the exact ones you want to try the most, because they are the ones trying to ban evade, be malicious, etc.
But a lot of trackers are fine with just tracking the majority of people, because they're doing it for profit, and they don't care about the 1% of the population that bothers clearing cookies. And most people really don't bother because cookies are also the mechanism used to keep you signed in to websites, save various local settings etc., so if you're a relatively tech illiterate normie and don't really know what you're doing then blocking cookies correctly is ironically harder than blocking fingerprinting. For the latter, you can just "enable tracking protection" in firefox or install uBO, and most fingerprinting scripts will be blacklisted.
Cloudflare, or sites like soi party etc., get away with fingerprinting because it's not a third party tracker but the actual first party website itself doing it, so you can't really block it without blocking the website you're actually trying to visit. But for many ad trackers and the likes, cookies can actually be a more reliable mechanism when third-party fingerprinting is blocked.
So tl;dr: clearing cookies is good practice, probably doesn't do a whole lot but also can't hurt if your whitelist is good enough for you.

if you have (which you should) a different profile or browser for banking/sensitive sites where you're entering important PII, it clears login state if the site doesn't do it properly (which is common) and mitigates most session/token hijack attacks.
i would not do it in a general use browser because it blocks "remember me" and erases any site settings you might have configured.

I have never tried installing multiple distros. I'm surprised grub's auto-detection mechanism doesn't work for detecting other linux distros on other partitions, but I'll take your word for it.
My point is that you only need one bootloader. Chainloading grub seems inane.
If I had two install two distros today, I would:
>install them each on their own partition, each with their own /boot, like you said
>install grub ONCE, manually, and configure it to point towards both distros
>or let ONE of the distros install grub and then edit its configuration to also find the other distro
Or really I would try to let update-grub find the configuration on its own first, and if it really doesn't find the other distro on the other partition then I would be surprised but then add it manually, since you say it wouldn't work.
>>
>>108244248
Also
>Are they similar to what anon has installed
I haven't used ubuntu in a decade, but I'm pretty sure on ANY distro you can uninstall the grub package, I can't imagine a distro where you couldn't (except maybe some super locked down preconfigured one like steamos or something with an "immutable" configuration or whatever)

I don't even understand IP properly and I think cookies are the only thing keeping me profiled on some websites.

you cannot "hack" it in the sense of breaking through without the victim doing anything, but it can often be surprisingly easy to trick retards into basically giving you access, no matter how secure the underlying system is
that said "hacking ads" on facebook are almost certainly scams

Who's "it"? Some locating service?
Locating by IP is up to human book keeping, there's nothing "technical" in it. Any ISP out there releases some public info on some of its infrastructure (routers) and when someone locates you by IP all they do is a traceroute and pick the closest IP to you - a router - that has any location info.
All of this gets worse with mobile internets as the IP infrastructure doesn't follow any geographics.
>50 miles away sometimes it shows me 1000 miles away
So there's two IP pools and those are their designated locations.

I'm running an RTX 4070 Super with a Ryzen 7 5700X.
Last night I was trying to play RE4 Remake and noticed the GPU usage could not go over 50 - 65% and thought something was obviously wrong.
Then I ran Kingdom Come Deliverance II, which I can run at 1440p on all Ultra and get around 100 - 120 fps on the countryside and around 70 - 90 fps on Kuttenberg. The thing is, my GPU still would not go over maybe 70% usage.
Something is wrong, right?
Then I looked around a little and asked grok and it told me that I most likely have a cpu bottleneck, but at the same time that this gpu usage was mostly normal because I'm using DLSS and it upscales and adds AI generated frames (I don't understand about that side of pc building shit), so the charge/demand on the GPU kind of goes down a little (in a nutshell).
But wouldn't this mean that I should still be able to get more gpu usage and thus more fps?
I'm worried becaue if RE4 ran like shit, maybe tonight RE9 will also run like ass.
I'm mostly concerned that it has something to do with linux. For the 10+ years I've used linux, I've always had a windows partition ready just in case for some specific games, until around three weeks ago, when I completely deleted windows. Sigh.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>108247316
Yeah well, being honest again, I have never fully understood all this new GPU technology. I don't even have a clear idea of what DLSS even is!
I thought DLSS helped to improve performance or at least provides more fps, so automatically, as I understand almost everyone does, I use it in all modern games.
>>
>>108247425
DLSS means Deep Learning Super Sampling
basically an AI allows to scale the resolution of the game while reducing the load on your GPU by creating "fake" frames in between the real ones computed by the GPU
this actually works pretty well, although you can always spot a few artifacts here and there if you look closely
the computations the AI machine does go mainly on the CPU and this why the bottleneck might occur
now, it sounds weird to me that an R7 5700X causes such bottleneck, and I can't think of a reason why Linux should be the problem, many people are happily moving to linux distros seeing an increase of their FPS
desu I've never played on Linux, when I was playing with Ubuntu and Arch games on Linux where not that big of a thing, and now I have a 5080(thank god) that doesn't really require DLSS
my only doubt is whether you have noveau driver installed instead of the proprietary ones from NVIDA but if you've used linux for 10+ years you'll definitely know how much noveau drivers suck
maybe it's just that the porting of these two games on Linux suck asses
>>
>>108246564
>But wouldn't this mean that I should still be able to get more gpu usage and thus more fps?
>>108247425
the game is going to keep generating as many frames as it can at any given moment unless you cap it in some way (hard framerate cap or vsync). in most cases, your gpu will be the limiting factor, let's say you can't generate more than like 70 frames per second. if you have dlss on, your gpu doesn't have to work as hard, so now your framerate will increase until something limits it again. in this case, it ended up being your cpu. so your framerate goes up but it still caps because now the issue is your cpu can't keep up with the new increased framerate.
>>
>>
>>
>>108247872
5080 owner here, I was bragging about my 5080 but I actually have a defect that maybe is not caused by a failing GPU
once a month, while playing randomly on Arc Raiders, the GPU would just lose signal entirely and make the fan spin at 100% until I reboot the machine...this has happened as early as three days ago
now the only solution I've found is undervolting...I tried to use MSI afterburner but like a moron I never noticed that I never ticked the 'unlock voltage control' setting and the monitoring one
I've also disabled Windows HDR which apparently can cause problems and the NVIDA audio virtual audio device after the last time
now I'm just waiting for the defect not to appear anymore but in case it happens, what other ideas do /sqt/ have?
>>108247897
my bad, I've always heard that DLSS loads the CPU, but it was for another reason: using DLSS lowers the native resolution(that then gets scaled) and lowering the native resolution in a videogame impacts the CPU
>>
>>108247968
>lowering the native resolution in a videogame impacts the CPU
it's more that it unbottlenecks your gpu which lets the load increase until something else gets bottlenecked, which 9 times out of 10 is going to be your cpu (theoretically, it could also be ram, storage, or even your gpu again but just less-so)
>>
>>108247872
Yeah I was using the noveau at first but it's been a while since I installed the proprietary nvidia drivers, it was a mess to install on fedora 43, because I just very recently switched to fedora from Arch. But yeah, I mean, on the linux side, everything seems to be working flawlessly, afaik.
Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks again for the exaplanation.
>>108247879
>the game is going to keep generating as many frames as it can at any given moment unless you cap it in some way
So if I understood correctly, the game will try to generate as many frames as it can (just like older games can reach up to 300+fps, right?) as much as the system can. So my computer really is working as best as it can.
I just tried with Kingdom Come Deliverance 1, which being an older game, doesn't have DLSS. After reading some stuff online. Despite always playing with a mixture of mid to very high settings, now I cranked everything up to "ultra high" except for shadows. Pic related shows mangohud while walking on Rattay, the most dense area in KCD1.
So I think I understandbetter now. My GPU gives it all on this game because no DLSS and the CPU can kinda keep up, so I get 115fps (very decent) and the GPU is at 98-100% usage. And in other games, like KCD2, with DLSS, the GPU "works less" but still delivers good fps, or as good as it can, because it starts getting capped by the cpu. I think I got it.

>>108248131
>So if I understood correctly, the game will try to generate as many frames as it can (just like older games can reach up to 300+fps, right?) as much as the system can
correct. if there is no framerate cap set and vsync is off, it will generate as many as it can as fast as it can, even if your display can't handle that many, until something bottlenecks. some games will silently cap your framerate even if you don't set something explicitly but most won't and will just keep pushing until something bottlenecks.
personally i'd cap your framerate. it's harder on your hardware for no reason when you don't and really the only reason not to is if you're benchmarking.
if you're using gsync and it's actually active (and you are certain it's active), set a global cap that's a bit below your monitor's refresh rate. search online for guidelines on what numbers to use here, mine's 144 and i use 120 which is complete overkill but 120fps is more than good enough for me.
if you aren't using gsync and performance isn't a problem, turn vsync on and your gpu won't generate a frame until your monitor is ready. this incurs a slight performance and video latency hit but it's usually not a problem.
if you aren't using gsync and the tradeoffs of using vsync aren't acceptable to you, you can just cap your framerate to your monitor's refresh rate and leave vsync off. there won't be a performance or latency hit but you might encounter screen tearing.

How would the malware work in that case? Just by visiting the website something gets downloaded and installed without you noticing anything? I have read something about that but I don't think that is so easy to happen because then it would continually happen when you visit not well known websites. Browsers must have security that prevents files from downloading without your knowledge.

Usually one of the big reasons to avoid a smartphone is because the OSes and ecosystems are designed from the ground up for tracking you. A tablet - at least a normal ARM one, not some weird x86 abomination - will use the exact same OS and ecosystem, defeating the purpose.
>you can just not sign in to google/apple, not install proprietary apps, disconnected from wifi etc.
You can do all that on a phone as well so at that point might as well just use a phone, unless you specifically want a larger screen. IMO a tablet can't fit in your pocket so you have to take it out of your bag so you might as well use a laptop, or a 2-in-1 if you really want touch screen typing, but at least something x86 that can run a decent OS of your choice.
A cheapo phone without a sim card is like a tablet that fits in your pocket, and with a sim card you can also access the internet on the go. Just don't install google/apple shit and proprietary tracking stuff.
This is the conclusion I came to personally btw, I bought a budget pixel phone and installed graphene. I have an isolated profile running google services for proprietary shit (google maps, uber, and whatsapp for the once a year I need to use it for some normie thing) and my main profile is FOSS-only, zero google services or apps, and I use it for shit like emails, notes, looking stuff up online, Organic Maps, and reading ebooks. A dumbphone doesn't really bring much benefit over this: the main way you can be tracked at this point is using cell towers.

Well that's something you have to negotiate with your bosses.
>24/7 services
Are you a dedicated on-call troubleshooting guy, or a dev that's also responsible for customer issues? If the latter, this should really be split among a team of devs, it's not possible to be a dev AND also on-call 24/7. If you're a dedicated sysadmin type guy who's responsible for servers 24/, well consider looking for a different job, but also really even then ideally there should be at least two people so you can split shifts.
>deal with burnout
Talk to your boss, some common ways this is handled is for example automatically giving you free PTO after an out-of-hours call. Woke up at 2am and lost a bunch of sleep? Take half the day off or even the entire day off. Got a call at 8pm and had to stay up till 10pm fixing it? Take 3-4 hours off next morning. This can be on call or off call time but if it's on-call, then it should really compound.
And again split shifts. If you are the single guy responsible for calls and there's nobody else who can be on call, the company MUST hire someone else, it's impossible to be basically available 24/7 and not burn out.
Also compensation, if it's a major part of your work they oughta pay you extra for calling out at insane hours. I'm putting this last though because it might feel nice but it won't necessarily help with burnout - if someone offers you a million dollars to work six months of 110 hour work weeks (with intellectual IT work, not just mindless sweatshop labour), that doesn't mean you'll physically be able to do it. But still it can help with motivation and also satisfaction.
Personally, at my company, I'm on call once every 4 days, and everyone's generally happy to accomodate for each other's shifts when taking PTO. Luckily enough we also have some remote team members in opposite timezones which pick up a lot of the night shifts.

I have an issue that I suspect is caused by my PSU. Sometimes my desktop just shuts off without warning. No blue screen or something of the sort. Sometimes it reboots right away, sometimes it takes a while and it won't turn on for a couple of seconds/minutes, not even a quick turning on of the fans, just absolutely not sign of life at all when I press the power button. As far as I know, this points towards the PSU, but this happens about once day and everything works perfectly until the PC just shuts off out of nowhere. This can happen while gaming, but also when just browsing online. Before I run off to get a new 1000W PSU, pic related is my current system. I have 850W Corsair PSU.

depending on whether your phone's actually booted into android or not, sometimes it won't show up in certain dialogs, but it should nearly always at least show up in device enumeration unless there's a bad port, bad cable, or the thing is bricked.
