But hey, at least everyone supports webp now. (lemmy.world)

Context: Even though Chromium has native support for AVIF, a very nice image format, Microsoft goes out of their way to remove it from Edge, which is a chromium fork. Jpeg XL (JXL) (not to be confused with Jpeg (JPG) or Jpeg 2000 (jpg2k) ) is another nice image format, which, IIRC, is only supported in Firefox.

mvirts,

Let’s rename JXL to GPEJ to give GIF pronunciation a run for its money

mvirts,

Good to know! I need to set that up next time, the whole system was unresponsive when I took the photo.

mvirts,

Next chance I get I’m booting without the USB wifi adapter. I’m worried I may have broken something because it was mostly stable before :/ lol I actually don’t have the Nvidia card yet, I ordered a cheap Tesla K80 that’s arriving on Tuesday 😹 and it already brokey system :P

That’s a good idea, I have an Ubuntu partition that I should try.

mvirts,

Agreed, this wifi stick was mega cheap on AliExpress so I went for it. I may take a look at the PCB in detail if removing it restores order to my PC. Yes, desktop PC (still hanging on to 2012 hardware woohoo!)

mvirts,

I think You’re right, it is a mediatek chip and I used to add the USB device id manually to load the module, but with nixos 23.11 it started working automatically. I’m also running a preemptable kernel… Probably related now that I think about it :P

I should track down the firmware, that was one of the things I was looking into when setting up the device id hack.

I think this happened once before after uptime of about a week… But I didn’t get any information from that crash. Also, I’m remembering that some configurations were failing to see this wifi device and falling back to wired so maybe this has been a hidden problem since the new nixos release…

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts, it’s very helpful.

mvirts,

Lol I checked the system journal but forgot to check if the dmesg los is being written 😹 thanks for the reminder, going to take a look later today

mvirts,

It’s a 3770k… So super old? 😅 The USB nic is this guy: CF-953AX a.aliexpress.com/_mNfj796

Maybe I should set up a config that doesn’t use a preemptable kernel for when I want faster wifi :P

Maybe this is my chance to actually fix something kernel related

Thanks for taking a look at this, your comments are super helpful.

mvirts,

Looks like dmesg isn’t being logged to disk… But I made my font smaller 😹 https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7d5b658b-f029-4cce-aeeb-ddcce9760426.jpegDefinitely more to go on there, this happened while playing Minecraft with a small human so I didn’t dig into it yet. I’m pretty sure the kernel I’m running was built by a derivation that applies some preempt patches so I’ll start there. Ubuntu works fine with the adapter, but it’s also not a preemptable kernel.

(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...

mvirts,

You can’t have the best of both worlds

"Must Try" distros and DEs?

Hey folks! I’m getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I’m planning to convert into a “cyberdeck” with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in...

mvirts,

Nah it’s so kids don’t get trapped in a fire

mvirts,

I’m sure it’ll be fine, just keep running the old version 🙃

mvirts,

A missed opportunity to arrange the graph in an artistic fashion. 😹

mvirts,

It’s funny because they recorded it from a safe distance 😹

mvirts,

The viewing angles on these new LER displays are going to be insane
