zurohki,

No, that’s self harm.

zurohki,

IMO, if you aren’t using at least a 360mm radiator there’s not a lot of point water cooling.

The point of water cooling is that you can transfer the heat from the heat producing component out to a large surface area by physically moving the hot liquid. 2x 360mm radiators give you a ton of cooling capacity. 1x 240mm? You can do almost as well for much less money with a really nice air cooler.

zurohki,

It’s definitely easier, simpler and cheaper.

Water cooling can be quieter, though. Some big radiators and you can cool a gaming PC with hardly any airflow.

zurohki,

Otherwise the monster under the couch might get them.

zurohki,

Ha, that’s where you’re wrong! She isn’t 50,000 years old.

zurohki,

I’d call that one a ‘blue plate’.

Is it safe to use a laptop charger to power two parallel 24v fans?

I have a 3D printer and have a special filter that has two 24V blower fans that are connected in parallel. Unfortunately my printer doesn’t have the proper connectors for the fans. So if I purchase something like this power jack adapter I know the adapter is 12V not sure if that would make a difference. Anyway if I connect the...

zurohki,

my laptop charger which is rated for 19v to 24V

Well, feeding voltage in that range to 24V fans would be fine, but “19 to 24V” makes it sound like a USB type-C charger or something which communicates with the device to set its output voltage. A power supply should have a single voltage.

Unless it’s one of those generic power supplies with a switch to set the voltage?

zurohki,

If it just puts out normal voltage it’ll be fine.

Wayland-Proxy Load Balancer Helping Firefox Cope With Wayland Issues (www.phoronix.com)

Among the Firefox Wayland bugs, one of the top crash bugs is over a lost connection to a Wayland compositor. For dealing with it is to have a proxy between Firefox and the Wayland compositor to cache messages and prevent compositor message queue overflows.

zurohki,

Window rules based on the application name and window title?

zurohki,

Yeah, if you want certain pages in certain screens it would work, and then they’d stay there

zurohki,

Found one.

Sailor Moon with Rowan Atkinson’s face

zurohki, (edited )

Has there been a Sailor Moon bean meme yet?

zurohki,

Don’t you know? He’s the main character. NPCs are supposed to move out of his way.

zurohki,

Blinker subscription must’ve expired.

zurohki,

I just tried it. Create a “Screen capture (PipeWire)” source, there’s a popup asking you to pick a display or “Full Workspace” which shares everything.

zurohki,

Man, I thought having more CPU cores was what made compile jobs faster, I’ve never tried compiling on more screens before. TIL.

zurohki,

I mean, even Windows games that use proprietary Windows graphics APIs work pretty well on Linux for me. What are you having problems with?

zurohki,

Gnome requiring extensions for some basic functionality and happily breaking them are deliberate design decisions from the Gnome devs. Compare that to the kernel’s long standing “we don’t break userspace” policy. I don’t use Gnome.

Wayland has taken a long time to get where it is now, but on my laptop which only needs to deal with one 60 Hz normal DPI screen running a web browser it was ready years ago. There have been a lot of edge cases that needed to be chased down - I needed VRR in XWayland apps and the ability to turn off DPI scaling for XWayland before I could switch my desktop over.

zurohki,

I like that one line that gets used to describe Tanya.

“There are demons in this world that wear the skin of little girls.”

zurohki,

Firefox only takes half an hour on my Ryzen 5800X desktop anyway. Modern CPUs can chew through those chunky compile jobs pretty quickly.

zurohki,

If you’ve got shields and antigravity, do you still need aerodynamics?

zurohki,

That’s because their code quality is usually an absolute dumpster fire that only works if Wine exactly replicates obscure Windows bugs.

zurohki,

Those can do the heavy lifting, but OBS still has to ask them to do it.

zurohki,

Your distro is crap, mine is awesome.

What distro do I use? I don’t see how that’s relevant. No, I don’t need to know what you use either.

Edit: we all secretly know that Hannah Montana Linux is the best.

If it’s open source it’s under the user’s control, so it’s almost impossible for a company to guarantee DRM is actually implemented instead of the device just claiming to implement it, decrypting the stream and not actually implementing any restrictions.

The whole point of DRM is to take control away from the end user so their device does what a company wants instead of what the device’s owner wants. If the user has control, you can’t have DRM.
