GNOME Foundation Announces Transition of Executive Director | Holly Million stepping down after 10 months in c/[email protected]
[–] merthyr1831 2 points 1 week ago

for sure, I thought the hire was weird in the first place. Did just mean that it doesn't look like GNOME fired her lol.

She did do some good stuff but GNOME really did get what they asked for

Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects? in c/[email protected]
[–] merthyr1831 2 points 2 weeks ago

Rarely, but I've contributed to a couple that I use.

Also, just a note that writing big reports is a valid contribution! It can really help both the regular maintainers finding and fixing bugs, but also gives new devs more potential work to pick up for first contributions.

In theory they (or someone else) could just bundle an open source copy of the assets no different to having a different texture pack in a game.

GNOME Foundation Announces Transition of Executive Director | Holly Million stepping down after 10 months (foundation.gnome.org)
 

GNOME announced an interim director of Richard Littauer, who joined last week.

Holly's resignation appears to be personal, as she intends to pursue a PhD in Psychology.

There's some decent forks currently so I wouldn't worry about the technology, but yeah the organisation is probably going to implode and reorg soon

Multi-part "sample" mkvs refusing to import into plex in c/selfhosted
[–] merthyr1831 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I didn't realise they were rar formats from how they show up on disk - Usually people name.their.torrents.like.this so it fucks up typical file name conventions.

I'll keep that in mind too, thanks! Not using qbitmanage yet though I'll have to look into that 👀

Mozilla has loads of projects, not just the browser. I doubt more than a 30 work exclusively on the engine nowadays.

EDIT: There's a fix. https://unpackerr.zip Automatically unzips these rar containers into coherent files for importing via sonarr/radarr. I suppose you can do this manually with tar if you're brave.

It's even worse, though. They've all seen the emperor without his clothes - barely able to form a coherent sentence whilst his aides scramble to keep him from mentally deteriorating into a coma before November. Yet I'm watching liberals convince themselves that his PR-controlled twitter is somehow evidence that the president is not only lucid but competent.

Multi-part "sample" mkvs refusing to import into plex (self.selfhosted)

Normally my *arr -> Plex setup is quite painless, but lately I've had a bunch of imports failing which appear to be multi-part files with a .MKV file in a "sample" subdirectory.

Does anyone know if I can sort it so these files import properly? Or how to filter them before downloading? I'd rather a fix if possible because certain torrents don't have many options.

Hardware accelerated transcode - What is actually supported on Linux? (self.plex)
 

Sure, I could just google this, and I have! However, the results are a bit confusing:

Plex Documentation

"Only Intel and Nvidia" Sure, cool.

Literally every other forum discussing this stuff

"Oh yeah I used my [Not Intel or Nvidia chip] and it worked out of the box"

So which is it? Because I'm really not interested on supporting Intel, but if getting HW Transcoding Plex requires them then I'll have to consider migrating to Jellyfin.

TIL about the utility "Smokeless_UMAF" That lets you access advanced BIOS options on AMD-based systems. (github.com)
 

What is it?

You can use Smokeless_UMAF to configure almost all options on AMD systems including UMA Buffer size (For systems like the steamdeck and laptops), RAM overclocking, CPU power states and voltage settings, and much more, even if your system's BIOS doesn't expose the option for you.

Tutorial for increasing your UMA buffer on an AMD Phoenix Laptop

Boot into a FAT32 drive with the downloaded Zip extracted to the root, and then use the "Device Manager" section to locate the UMA buffer size.

The location within the utility is at

Device Manager > AMD CBS > NBIO Common Options.

Once set, back out and apply the changes, rebooting your system. You can then confirm that the option has been applied by checking your system monitor of choice (Windows > Task Manager, Linux > Whatever) and checking to see if your available RAM has decreased (indicating greater allocation of memory to the iGPU).

This may not remain applied through BIOS updates, and may cause hardware damage if misconfigured, and may result in an unbootable system if misused or by chance. You may need to reset your BIOS if that's the case, if possible by your system manufacturer.

Baking 2D nav regions - Can I use a Polygon2D as the source? (self.godot)
 

Child Polygon2Ds of a nav mesh by default act as obstacles, so the nav mesh avoids them. However, I just want to use the Polygon2D as the source for the nav region and remain its own node so I can do stuff like, modulate it when the player hovers over it with their cursor.

So Israel has built a camp.. to concentrate.. Gazan civilians. Is there a name for such an unprecedented facility?

Is 6.0.1 available on KDE Neon yet? (self.kde)
 

I haven't seen the update come through to my system but since I have a more-than-slightly-borked grub setup, I have a feeling it could be to do with that.

As a side note RE: above -- Are people running a kernel newer than 6.5.0-18-generic ?

Yuzu & Citra devs fold to Nintendo's demands | Pay $2.3million to settle, take down github, domains, patreon, discord, with immediate effect. (m.youtube.com)
 

A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

The title explains it well. But I installed Mint on a 2nd partition, then deleted it since I no longer used it, and now Grub dumps me to the command line on boot :/

How do I recover?

EDIT: gonna give up. Fuck grub lmao EDIT2: Just reinstalled mint and used the grub it gives to fix everything lmfao
