So you read a bunch of articles detailing exactly how they plan on using AI and they have specifically said that they’re not using it for vibe coding.

And your conclusion after reading all of this is that they’re going to be using it for vibe coding.

It seems like you’re doing some vibe reading

Rsyslog comes standard on most linux distros, yes. It didn’t get that way because the development team are idiots who don’t know what they’re doing.

So, on one hand we have the developers of a piece of software used by a majority of Linux users saying that, after 2 years of evaluation and testing, that these tools are useful and effective and on the other hand we have random social media people who’s only knowledge on the topic is that they know AI is bad and therefore this cannot be anything but bad.

I, like the other commenters here, am not privy to the 2 years of evaluation and experimentation.

However, I won’t let that stop me from condemning this in no uncertain terms because AI bad and that’s more correct than any amount of “observational data” or “experimental evidence”.

We may not be users of the software, contributors to the project or were even aware of what rsyslog is prior to seeing this announcement but as people who are chronically outraged we have valid concerns about this development which will ruin the software that we only recently discovered existed.

Amcrest cameras have a RTSP stream open by default. If you know the camera’s IP address you can just open the stream in a media player, like VLC, and set it to save the stream to disk.

Also, you could probably save the stream without viewing using ffmpeg.

Or Frigate

Run pw-top while you’re having the issue and post the output.

It’s probably a bad default setting that’s setting the buffer/quantum incorrectly.

I just prepend everything in the home directory with a dot every 6 months or so, no problems so far

Disabling Secure Boot fixed it? That is very interesting.

Glad you got it solved! :)

it seems to happen primarily when I try to move the mouse regardless of the situation (if I’m in dialogue or exploring, but it’s the worst when fighting), and during cutscenes where they always play slowly and voices go out of sync

There was an issue with the Steam overlay that happened when they added the screen recording feature. After about 25 minutes any input will cause a delay in rendering the current frame.

You can disable the overlay or add LD_PRELOAD=“” to your launch options, if this is the problem

Spectacle

Flameshot is pretty good too

About [Secure Boot], here’s the related settings I found in the BIOS settings, but I forgot one more option and it’s like a boot list with two entries about openSUSE, one has “secureboot” on the name and the other doesn’t, if it helps I’ll add a picture of it to that album.

Try booting with the non-secure boot option then

cat /sys/firmware/ipl/secure

1 means secure boot is enabled, 0 means disabled.

If it’s 0 then you could use any distro, regardless of secure boot support.

There’s a config file somewhere to make it permanent, if you can’t find it just let me know and I’ll dig through my notes (if you find out, post it here for future googlers)

default.clock.quantum

That probably didn’t do anything. I think it sets the quantum if it isn’t otherwise set.

Check pw-top while you’re playing from a source where you experience crackling. You can see the quantum value, if it’s low (usually 1) then that source is using the minimum quantum.

You can change it, temporarily (until reboot/pipewire service restart) with

pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.min-quantum <value>

Try 256 to start with increase if you still get crackling.

Here’s the documentation on pipewire buffering: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/FAQ#pipewire-buffering-explained

I’ll leave finding the config file to make this permanent as an exercise for the reader.

None of the problems that they’re describing are caused by using an Nvidia card.

The default proton is bad, using GE-Proton will often improve things.

CS2 getting 40fps and no sound. A quick trip over to https://www.protondb.com/app/730 will show that this is a problem with CS2 as it happens on every graphics card. Setting SDL_AUDIO_DRIVER=pipewire resolves the issue for a lot of people.

Helldivers 2 low FPS: Protondb has people with both graphics cards reporting the low fps issues. Setting a framerate cap will reduce FPS variance, using GE-Proton10 fixes HDR issues. In my experience disabling vsync improved performance significantly, this is true of a lot of games if you’re using adaptive sync.

I see this all the time in the Linux communities. If someone is having an issue with a game and they use an Nvidia card then community responses are often to do the blame Nvidia meme rather than troubleshoot the issue.

If it’s the same bug as what I’m seeing, I just wrote a script that changes the display settings and sets them back then bound it to a hotkey.

Any monitor that stays blank after waking up is fixed if you adjust the display settings (tricky to do with blank monitors, hence the script).

open source developers are an inexhaustible source of unending miracles that work for free and are fueled by incoherent, conflicting, entitled demands from 14 year olds.

Ah, I see you’re a Bazzite user

e: (No offense to the Bazzite user, I’m sure you’re a special little guy and not at all a problem.)

and on linux, the ‘sync’ command will manually flush the buffers if you’re worried about buffered data not being written to the drive.

It gets weirder the longer you look at it.

Sure, let’s just say the guy was overzealous with the (silicone caulk? lol) adhesive compound. Maybe the white cord is DC power, replacing the battery… but the red wire that’s right beside the ‘power’ wire is a USB cable plugged into the phone’s USB port.

What is plugged into the other end? It’s Zalgo isn̴̝̂’̶̯̾ṭ̷̆ ̶̫̈i̷̹̚t̴̩̉?̶͊͜

Honestly, if someone is just looking to get started cheap and easy, buying a pi and installing pi hole is a great first project that has immediate positive returns. Adding more services can be easy (if you used containers) and expanding to add more services is cheap.

Then, when you decide to spring for a server box, those Pis can still be useful as home automation devices. For example, they can control a decent amount of programmable LED strip lighting. Attached to a sensor shield, a solar panel and battery it can do atmospheric monitoring outside (while also controlling your driveway lighting) while being easy to integrate into HomeAssistant.

If you need to retire it, you can throw some emulators on it (retropi), load it up with a few thousand ROMs and donate it to a place that buys kids toys for holidays/their birthday.

Super key for DE keybinds or other global hotkeys. Nothing uses it so you don’t have to worry about collisions.

My NAS is a steam library, some games will even run off of it perfectly fine. It’s mostly to free up space on my SSDs with games that I’m not actively playing.

They did say the word driver, yes.

That is in no way evidence that their current problem is a problem with their gpu driver.

Inside the word install is the implication that they installed and configured lot of things in addition to the driver. Considering that the game launches but fails to play some multimedia file it’s incredibly unlikely to be a low level problem like an incorrect driver. This is typically a missing proprietary codec or library inside of the wine environment.
