Re: Weird issues last night
After all that I played Far Cry 6 (my most motherfuckinest game... using DXR and Ultra everything) without any trouble. I then watched youtube videos until I fell asleep and woke up and shut down. I started up without any incident when I got up today. I also switched back to the beta Steam client. I...

Weird issues last night
I came home last night, powered up my computer, started Steam and when the UI appeared, some corrupted lines appeared on the desktop behind it. (My crimson night wallpaper). I figured a redraw of the screen would correct that as usual if something like that ever happens. The reason would be because ...

Re: Proton and Wine
Sometimes when you suddenly get a stupid achievement, it's because they've added new ones to the game since you last played it. When they do that, it throws off the stats too, like "3% of players have this achievement". Yeah, because it's a 5 year old game that nobody is playing, that you ...

Slow Steam downloads?
I've had somewhat shitty downloads in Steam for some time now, often not getting it at my full speed (which isn't exactly breakneck by today's standards... I have a 100 Mbit connection, that's about 120'ish so I get 14 to 15 Mb/s downloads at most). However, nothing like my nephew had. We noticed it...

Re: Looks Like I'll Have To Sell The House
Yeah, I doubt your work will be too understanding of disruptions. (or are you going to have to quit that because they insist on having you report to an office etc.?)
It's a big ordeal though, moving. I always feel kind of lost, packing shit up to move. Your life, in a fucking box.

Re: heh... my qemu still runs
So that Looking Glass does use libvirt and Spice for some of it. What's kind of promising about this is that it will plug into virt-manager (have to edit some XML etc.) but it's libvirt. It's only for Windows guests, but also would just be used for Windows guests.

I would actually like to attach another monitor to the Intel graphics ports for this. The one on the other desk.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but that makes sense.

You can be charging the batteries with the unused current being generated whe...

Actually there is one thing I could do for Windows 11 guests, I'm just not willing to. I could enable the Intel graphics adapter for passthrough. That supports SR-IOV (I think all Intel graphics do these days). Of course Linux guests would then use that too and it would be way better than using virg...

So they've definitely changed the way the globbing works with wildcards in pacman's IgnorePkg directives. What used to work for me doesn't anymore.
