I think this will change. Nvidia hired devs on Nouveau, NVK is coming along, etc
Some of it probably comes from other companies that are unable or unwilling to relicense it even if Nvidia wanted to
Looks like the birdie has escaped phoronix…
In the small chance that this comment is serious, Nvidia is found this because the corporate server-based customers need the ability to troubleshoot and debug the driver.
The actual trade secrets are being moved into the proprietary firmware blob and out of the driver.
PNG is a rather slow algorithm based on the DEFLATE compression from zip/gzip. You could extract to bmp or some other uncompressed format. First, to ensure it is lossless, make sure it supports the video’s pix_fmt without needing conversion.
I have a 5900x (zen3), and apparently I got a bit unlucky with the silicon and ended up with a CPU that’s slightly unstable at its stock voltages and stock boost clock. The system would freeze and reboot randomly, and the bios would report an MCE error. This crash could be reproduced with near 100% success by doing sha1 hashing specifically for some odd reason. This is not a Linux issue, it’s a hardware defect.
It may be an Asus motherboard specific thing, but I found a workaround by going to the bios settings, precision boost overdrive, and increasing the voltage scalar to like 7. Now it’s been two years and I have only ever had it happen once since I changed that, so I’m happy.
I already force Wayland global for SDL games because the xwayland one has a horrible stutter while the native Wayland works flawlessly. Making it the default sounds reasonable to me. If specific programs don’t work with it, they can override it
Did you… watch the video? You act as if he’s bashing the fediverse or isn’t a strong supporter of it
Please do not use exfat on anything critical. It is slow as hell, it does not have journal or CoW to ensure consistency on unintended shutdown, and is designed to be extremely simple to implement, not robust. Good for flash drives and sd cards, but not normal storage.
It can handle websites like filejoker and nitroflare, which are behind captchas and things like mega that require JavaScript or an API to serve downloads
It’s been supported for several years now
Do you realize that you are fighting against an open Internet?
When it was brand new there were some edge case bugs that broke on certain workflows and hardware, but that’s pretty much entirely fixed now and I’m guessing for a long time now it’s been more universally stable than pulseaudio was.
Also, some people just pointlessly dislike anything that’s new, or because it breaks their spacebar heating
Because it’s funny
I’ve been using Wayland on Nvidia with plasma for about a year and it’s been mostly fine. Only a few minor issues like night color not working or some Xwayland apps flickering, but the system feels far more responsive on Wayland so it’s well worth it to me
As long as the audio frequency is less than half the sample rate, it is a mathematical function with only one (exact) wave that is able to fit all 4 points, so it is perfectly reconstructed. This video provides a great visualization of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIQ9IXSUzuM
At both algorithms’ highest levels, xz seems to be on average a few percent better at compression ratio, but zstd is a bit faster at compression and much much faster at decompression. So if your goal is to compress as much as possible without regard to speed at all, xz -9
is better, but if you want compression that is almost as good but faster, zstd --long -19
is the way to go
At the lower compression presets, zstd is both faster and compresses better
It means it can capture any frequency up to half the sample rate, perfectly. The “extra detail” in the waveform is higher frequencies beyond the range of human hearing
Why? What reason could there possibly be to store frequencies as high as 96 kHz? The limit of human hearing is 20 kHz, hence why 44.1 and 48 kHz sample rates are used
Accessing printers? Resolving hostnames of internal hosts? I can’t imagine having a lan without mDNS
