Definitely not a hoax. Trust us on that.
  • Haha yeah, I sell these at work and recognised it immediately! It's literally just the inner part you solder the wires onto, without the outer casing.

    I tried to find a photo, but I struggled:

    3 Pin XLR Connector in parts

  • Help with Custom EDID
  • how do i do that?

    Probably by editing your GRUB config or whatever bootloader you're using.

    Here is the EDID

    Thanks, that should be enough I'll have a look when I'm free. Also something like get-edid > monitor.bin would probably be easier for me though.

    Edit: I've had a look, I can't see any issues. Both checksums validate correctly and it advertises audio support. As you've probably seen in edid-decode, I'd expect it to show as 'SONY TV' (or at least for KDE 'Sony SONY TV' I believe).

  • Help with Custom EDID
  • Is edid/sony.bin your new EDID? Does it revert back if you remove drm.edid_firmware all together?

    Also, do you mind sharing your EDID? I had to edit mine to get VRR to work, so maybe there's something invalid in yours. It does contain serial numbers though if that's a problem.

  • Help with IPv6
  • Is it possible to send the hint from OPNsense itself?

    Yes, to me it sounds like you're already getting a big enough prefix from your ISP (all devices getting a /64), but you'll have to request a bigger prefix from OPNsense. I believe it should give you the options to do this when you set the IPv6 mode to DHCPv6 on OPNsense, but I can't say if your ISP router will handle it.

  • This sddm bug is driving me insane
  • Also a solution: Use Wayland, it'll probably break other things, and Nvidia support is only just getting there; but it's multi monitor support is amazing, so it should fix that issue. So maybe it's worth a try?

  • How to force all chromium apps to use wayland, instead of xwayland by default?
  • For electron, if ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT and electron-flags.conf don't work, you can also add --ozone-platform-hint=wayland to the end of Exec in each .desktop file (also works on Chromium, but not CEF AFAIK and sometimes CEF).

    There's also --ozone-platform-hint=auto if you find yourself switching between X11 and Wayland.

  • Ubuntu Talks Up A RISC-V Octa-Core Laptop
  • I don't think I've ever seen an AMD powered laptop unless it used an APU.

    There's at least 4 on AMD's website, so they do exist but they don't seem very common.

    Also Intel has laptop chips, but I'm not sure if it's actually discrete or just another die on the CPU.

  • Raspberry Pi launches its IPO
  • ADCs, DACs, IO extenders

    These should all work without kernel drivers. For example, here's a user space python library for ADS1*15 ADCs, or Nuvoton MS51 IO Expanders. Unless you need very specific timing or require the kernel to know about it, you shouldn't need a kernel driver.

  • Raspberry Pi launches its IPO
  • Idk, with I2C if it's not something that needs a kernel level driver, there usually isn't a problem with interacting with it from user space, for example basically all RAM RGB controllers are I2C and OpenRGB has no problem with them. I'm pretty sure I've only ever used an I2C device tree overlay for an RTC.

    Also I2C/SMBus is present everywhere on x86, like some graphics cards expose it through their HDMI ports, even some server motherboards have a header for it; but for GPIO I'm unaware of any motherboards that expose it, so good luck researching the chipset and tracing out the pins.

  • Pop!_OS Wake from Bluetooth
  • but I can't figure out which of the "0000:00:whatever's" correlate to my Bluetooth card

    lspci will list your PCI devices and their ID, but if it's a combo WiFi & Bluetooth card, they usually use PCIe for WiFi and USB for Bluetooth.

  • Does anyone know where the old original GPT-2 (transformer) model ended up?
  • I don't remember OpenAI's website, but I know there was 'Text To Transformer' which was just run by some guy who eventually couldn't keep running it.

    I used to use a Google Colab notebook after it shutdown, which would have similar results.

    There's also Write With Transformer which is probably the easiest, but it's not the same.

  • Make my IPv6 selfhosted service available on IPv4 network.
  • If you can't get the VPS to work, alternatively there's Cloudflare but last I checked streaming was a little out of their free terms. With it, you should just have to set your AAAA record and make the cloud orange, that way Cloudflare will proxy it, and IPv4 will work. There's also Cloudflare tunnels which lets you host websites without port forwarding anything.

  • KDE: Fix to weird theming in flatpaks

    This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

    [preferred] default=kde;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

    Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

    Source: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474746#c12

    Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.
