Videos stuttering across all applications

For a little over a month now, when playing videos on firefox, VLC, or any other application, I get infrequent stutters. This is with or without hardware accelleration. It’s as if the video pauses briefly. If multiple videos are playing, even across different applications, each of them will be effected at the same time....

Ugh, I meant to say gamemode. As in Feral gamemode.

I don’t see how swap has much chance to fragment. A swapfile has to be fully allocated up front and cannot be CoW. If it’s allocated well in the first place, it will stay that way.

The swap code doesn’t really do I/O through the filesystem. AIUI, it locks the file, gets the disk block #s from the FS, and after that it accesses those blocks directly.

Thanks, but I only take advice from the Arch Wiki.

Some women have four legs. It’s a temporary condition, but I gander that it’s common enough to offset the amputees.

I think this is plainly referring to TechConnections talking about light switches.

If you’re going to go that far, it probably has to be an “active” HDMI cable.

Windows would be greatly improved if it would let you bind VLC as the default handler of exe files

It’s an “.avi.exe”.

Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...

Nobara, which is by GloriousEggroll of ProtonGE fame, is the first thing to think of when looking for a gaming distro.

Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?

I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape....

A good argument against DOS 2.0 adding directories

rotopenguin,
@rotopenguin@infosec.pub avatar

I handle it more like ln -s /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/org.inkscape.Inkscape ~/.local/bin/inkscape

.local/bin is a directory that you may have to make, but your shell’s startup scripts should automatically add it to the PATH after that.

Kudos to whoever found the one frame out of a hundred thousand where Fishburne isn’t looking like a total badass.

Patch notes: clause unnecessary. Refactored to cover the general case.

And the price for that beautiful, flicker-free experience is … some Macs will brick themselves. You can get them into a state where (IIRC) the dual-boot between an older macOS and a newer one (or Ashai) disagree on display modes, and the bootloader dies. Only Apple can fix that.

Most vendors have dropped S3 sleep, since Windows 8+ doesn’t use it. S0ix-way or the highway.

Wifi stopped showing in linux mint (kbin.social)

Yesterday night I had a problem with a usb port and the touch pad not working, I restarted the system a few times and switched back and forth with windows (which is installed on a different drive), they didn't work even there.After a few restarts the usbport and the touch pad came back to life, but the wifi stopped working. When...

Son of a bitch. Instead of “turning shit the fuck off”, is windows putting the wifi card into some sort of eternal WoL mode when it shuts down? And the wifi card isn’t resetting at boot time (or honoring a reset command) to give the linux drivers a known starting state?
