  • This reminds me of that time I accidentally roasted my college instructor in front of the class.

    It was some kind of logic class for computer science. We were going thru a topic of "statement", which is "something that has a truth value".

    I asked, "what about sarcasm?"

    He answered, "sarcasm also has truth value in it, so it's also a statement".

    Then he told me to give an example, to which I instictively gave without much thought: "this class is great!"

    Had the whole class laughing while he frowned.

    It was the very first day of him teaching.

  • open-source nvidia driver with flatpak

    Hopefully this is the right place to ask. Lemme know otherwise.

    I got a Thinkpad W530 with Quadro K2000M GPU (Kepler). With coreboot, I was able to get around all the headaches related to Optimus only having the discrete GPU enabled.

    The GPU itself is well-supported by nouveau driver, missing only a few features on the power management side of things.

    Things are good when I run stuff natively. However, I have yet to figure out Flatpak. I know we use org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.* packages that are some kind of Mesa abstraction layer.

    Things are much more straightforward with Intel and AMD GPU. It is actually quite easy with the proprietary NVidia driver, but it doesn't exactly come free.

    The ultimate question is: Should I install one of those org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-<ver> packages with my nouveau? If so, which version?

    Doing electronics in the 1910s was rather rough, with the radio probably the pinnacle of hi-tech. Despite this, with some know-how and basic wood- and metal-working skills you could get pretty far …

    Are IO Sub Card of T420 and T430 interchangable?

    I plan of having a maxed-out T420 for fun. Thinking that Firewire isn't particularly useful these days, but a second LAN port might. The Sub Card of T430 has a LAN port along with the USB and I was wpndering whether or not it's compatible with the T420.

    How are nvidia gpus with wayland nowadays? I read a while ago it was terrible, has it improved?
  • I currently have a Thinkpad W530 with a Quadro K2000M. Because I have coreboot as its firmware, I am able to run completely on the discrete GPU. So far I've been doing great.

    I've looked on the feature matrix of the nouveau support and my GPU (Kepler) happens to have all the features checked-off, with the exception of dynamic power management (mostly WIP).

    Right now, I'm running KDE wayland with the nouveau driver with no issue.

    On the other hand, I've tried having the hybrid GPU and it sucks.

  • Do you have advice for hosting public or maybe even federated blogging?
  • Not sure if this fits your exact need, but I've been running my blog on Grav CMS. It's really easy to setup as it uses flat file to store your content instead of database. You could just download a tarball, extract it, point your HTTP server (and php-fpm) to it, and see it on your web browser. If you know your PHP, you could even customize a theme.

    Anyways, feel free to check out my blog: timkenhan.co

  • What’s caught your interest lately?
  • I make coffee everyday. I brew about two teaspoon of coffee once a day, sometimes twice.

    I'd say I'd never generate too much coffee ground as it's really easy to handle. It pretty much has everything it needs to make compost, yet it can also help other stuff too, be it onion peel, banana peel, green onion bottom, eggshell, ash, you name it!

    I recently found that it really goes well with leftover fruit pulps. My wife likes to make juice and would filter it sometimes. That leftover would then sit there fermenting for a few days. In a few days the spoiling fruit smell disappeared. I think I found one of the best combination I could find!

  • What’s caught your interest lately?
  • Composting.

    It all began with me saving some coffee waste because I heard that it's good for... plants, or something... Then it got covered in mold. So I looked into what to do with moldy pile of coffee ground and that's when I learned about it.

    I started by putting the moldy coffee ground in a bucket. Then I incorporated green kitchen scraps that wouldn't get too wet like onion skin, bokchoy root, and some dried leaves from the yard. After a while it became like soil (even smell like it), and that's when I knew I succeeded.

    Right now I am onto a new batch. I tried something different this time with fruit scraps as well as eggshell. I also put some shallots that I thought was going bad. Instead of rotting, it sprouted in that pile. Guess it shows that it's good for something, right?

  • Secondary Monitor Glitching on KDE Wayland (open source Nvidia driver)

    Hi everyone, I've neen having this issue when running KDE wayland with multiple screen on my Thinkpad W530. I'm using the nouveau driver.

    The primary monitor is fine, but the secondary one is glitching.

    This is tested on Gentoo as well as Debian. I know it's not hardware issue because it runs fine on X11.

    Anyone have any idea about this issue?

    Edit: I should probably mention that I was using DisplayPort in the photo, but I also tried VGA and it gave the same result.

    Edit1: I was able to narrow down the problem somewhat. Switching the BIOS setting to "Discrete only" for the GPU (thanks coreboot!) seems to make the glitching go away! This means the Optimus would be to blame.
