So I was right about it being specifically SSE 4.2 causing it to bomb out with anything higher than -march=core2 used.
works

... and we have Firefox 125.0.3 now https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/125.0.3/releasenotes/ Fixed an extra blank tab with an address of https ://0.0.0.1 sometimes appearing when attempting to launch Firefox when it is already running (bug 1892612). Fixed an issue that could cause incorrect font ...

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...

I got copy and paste working between Windows 11 guest and host in both directions simply by installing the spice guest tools in Windows. That installed some serial driver for it. On the linux guest, I was missing spice-vdagent (which I installed with pacman) but I still can't get it to work. I hate ...

Hahah... now that's more practical. Burn nasty fucking diesel to do it, too :evil: (I hate those things... your whole life revolves around charging those stupid things. You'd have to do it at home too, as there aren't many places you could plug in around here (and right now they are free but that's ...

Damn, that Arch VM is pretty much perfect now. I have a custom kernel now and I think I've got everything as good as I can. I was surprised to find that it took less than 2 minutes to build a kernel, with 4 cores and 8 threads, using "make -j10" like I used to. That kernel would have taken...

Oh bollocks, I've been had again... the virtiofsd method actually uses its own implementation of FUSE, with dm_mod and dax backend. It doesn't need KSM page merging. I was reading old information (that's the problem with this qemu/libvirt/virt-manager stuff, info from a few years ago isn't relevant ...

I got "shared folders" working for the first time. I mean actual virtio shared between host and guest (I used to just use networking... the network stack will use loopback by default if it's on the same host). I liked the simplicity of my simple qemu client, but now that I have virt-manage...

See, Jay cares about optimizing for temperature over performance. He's admitting his CPU isn't doing as much work with his settings, with lower cinebench scores. That doesn't matter to him (and likely his audience) because it's not a realistic load. Cranking up the limits doesn't make their games an...

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. For example, if I ignore gcc as gcc* it doesn't match package name gcc itself, only gcc-libs. If there is nothing after the wildcard, it doesn't match. ...

Ahh, I guess it was Trinity then, I thought I saw them in KDE more recently.

I can't find the screensaver module anywhere, it looks like that's gone now? The only answers I can find are "Why do you want that?" with admonishments that screensavers aren't necessary. I know that... and as far as I'm concerned, them breathing oxygen is not necessary to me either. Those...

Yeah I guess that could be turned on in Arch. It probably doesn't need any additional scripting. Speaking of Arch, do I ever have good performance in my Arch VM. I have SOME 3D acceleration, I can actually complete WebGL tests (that would never complete in software rendering mode... they'd start but...

They'll probably lag behind for a while. Thunderbird isn't firefox, there's stuff they'd have to port to the new mozilla base. I hope so anyway, my folks don't like ANYTHING changed in their email program. They have a hard enough time not making panes etc. go away. I really hate those GUI traps and ...

So Manjaro actually worked out very well, I was able to do everything I needed with the installer. It didn't crash on manual partitioning. I created the EFI partition, swap and the rest of the disk for the rootfs. (I bought a brand new SATA SSD for this so I wouldn't have to touch his drives). I the...

Yeah, great, now. Now that I don't need to do a rebuild for anything and have other shit to do. Arch has just gone and upgraded to Python 3.12 which is going to break all the relationships (/usr/lib/python3.11 is disconnected. I have to redo gcc, LLVM, anything with python modules. Nice thing to hav...

Yeah, for those interested in reinventing the flat tire. That's bullshit, fuck off Microsoft. They wouldn't open source anything you could use that might have a hope in Hell of being ported to modern hardware for firmware flashing etc. (but we already have open DOS implementations for that).

Yep... I found a 1 TB Verbatim SSD (SATA) for $99 which isn't bad for hopping in the car and going to a local shop. They had Kingston too, but they can fuck off forever for their self destructing firmware. I wouldn't trust them for a $10 thumb drive. They make crap RAM too. That will be more practic...

The game could be just sitting there. Moreover, the program that would be tracked would be FalloutNVlauncher.exe not the game itself. I doubt anybody is playing FalloutNV for that long without falling asleep from boredom alone :lol: I just rebought that on GoG a few nights ago actually. I have Fallo...

I haven't had any crashy behaviour with Plasma 6 yet, but if I set Autohide on the panel, it goes away and never comes back. I see a bit of that faint glow effect (one of the compositor desktop effects) at the bottom screen edge but the panel is off screen and can't be actuated. I can turn off that ...

Alternate reality... the Wizard of Mayonnaise

That green shit looks like spinach, which is otherwise good on pizza (some types, anyway)

But mayonnaise on pizza? Somebody has to die for that... just like the owner of the Segway company. I want them to die choking on mayonnaise pizza

I hadn't watched the second video yet, and didn't know he was trying to say that bypassnro doesn't work anymore, but I can tell you for certain that it does, on 23H2 Home Edition because that's what I used yesterday. His discrepancy probably was, I think, that he actually had a network connection. (...

Well, I've got a pretty versatile Ventoy boot stick now. It's the (fast, $100) Corsair 250 Gb one. I actually may give him Manjaro tomorrow, he won't know about Plasma 6 anyway and 5 was probably better anyway, I was just mad because it was 6 that I wanted to see. The installer may not crash when ma...

By the way, Microsoft Edge (Chrome) runs both WebGL 1.0.2 and WebGL 2, just very horribly (in fact I left the basemark benchmark running while I went for a smoke and it's still on the WebGL 2 test lol!) Firefox has it blocked for good reason, due to known issues with the driver. It's not even disabl...

Alright, I just purchased two license keys for Windows 11 Home OEM Global from whokeys.com. $29 USD each, that's fine. (I didn't shop around) Now to see if one of them works. (I'll leave the other untested because they are OEM) P.S. Yep, it activated, despite the Activation Status check when clickin...

Fedora based... that will be all containered up. You can't even build a native Wine anymore on Fedora without using wow64 (which isn't quite there yet for all 32 bit games... I've tried it twice myself for my system wine and I doubt it's time yet to try it again) Tk-Glitch comitted on Mar 5 CI: Swit...

Yes, I saw Jay talking about such sites in some of his videos, but I discounted it because it takes a lot for me to trust. For my VM I don't care (I'll handle it) but I'd only use a legit key for somebody else. I'd actually buy two keys at a decent price, I'd prefer to have a legit one myself too. I...

Well, Slackware gets a pass for that stuff. 1) It's not piggybacking on Arch. Manjaro doesn't actually DO a lot, but build Arch packages. They have some of their own front ends (e.g. that MHWD) and do build some packages somewhat differently, but most of it is Arch. Their installer is just that Cala...

Oh, how fruity

(my nephew won't like this... lol)

I just tried that "archinstall" script that's in the ISO's now. It's pretty bad... anything other than just letting it take the disk "best guess partitioning layout" or some such wording, fails with a bunch of python errors, it doesn't look like it actually created the second par...
