RE: Your edit. Votes are public. OP didn't downvote you. You, however, downvoted OP when they replied to your question. No idea why you'd do that when all they did was answer your question. FWIW I upvoted your comment so it doesn't get buried, but yeah, people shouldn't be downvoting posts unless they're off topic or against the rules IMO. No need to weaponize them.

Downvotes with no replies explaining why? This is happening a lot.

I use qutebrowser and still show tabs, but this is a very interesting approach. Thanks for the rec.

I made it a few hours in on 6.7.9 yesterday after this thread inspired me to check. Still persists and I can now tell if the system is going to hang by starting a video on my second monitor and playing a few minutes of Warframe. The system kind of "stumbles" but won't crash right away. It might even take a few hours to go down, but I know if that happens then the kernel is no good. Happy you got it sorted, though! Lucky for me 6.6 is LTS for a few more years.

It's not that widespread as far as I can tell. I gave details elsewhere and included a few other places where people were reporting it. Not sure if it's tied to AMD GPUs, AMD CPUs, etc., but the common thread is that everyone I saw reporting it was using AMD.

Ryzen 5 2600X w/ an RX580.

I detailed the issue here. Very persistent and tricky issue to track since there's no reproducible steps and it generates no errors. Happens under zero load, full load, after 5 minutes, 2 hours... it's about as random and as you can get. And yes, RAM is fine.

Need to give this a shot. I'm still stuck on 6.6 since 6.7 introduced some obscure bug that's freezing AMD systems.

An unfortunate part of the fediverse is that it attracts people who were too obnoxious for even the more annoying parts of Reddit/Twitter/etc. I've made plenty of attempts to "get into" Mastodon and can confidently say that's a miserable experience across the board if you aren't willing to do the work to curate your feed. Even if you do get a feed that is free of bad actors, conversations rarely veer off-course from Linux, programming, computers, tech, etc., at which point that's fine, I guess, but it's hardly diverse. Also, for all the complaining about "techbros" ruining the fediverse, it sure is full of them.

I have more faith in Bluesky currently. If they're able to achieve their own kind of federation then I'll gladly jump ship since their userbase is a lot friendlier and more diverse that Mastodon IMO.

I started doing this after my phone number got into some kind of crazy scam call database. At the height of it I was getting somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 calls a day, basically rendering the phone unusable.

So I started actually picking up and running these jokesters through the ringer. I'm talking 15+ minutes of pointless conversation, false info, tons of backtracking, and general bullshit. I refined my craft over a few months and would time how quickly I could make them scream at me for fucking with them. At the end of it my phone got taken off at least one of the bigger lists because the calls went to down only 10 or so a day. Now it's one or two a day at the most, probably from me not answering like I used to.

Favorite call was one guy who figured out I was messing with him and it turned into this general question and answer thing about life in the US. Dude wanted to know how easy it was to pick up chicks and whether or not I'd dated a lot/was married. Great guy, really into Counter-Strike.

If you want to do a bit of engineering: CalDAV supports todo lists. I forget what server software I've got running, but I sync the list to my android phone via DAVx5 and tick off/add items via tasks. For other platforms you can just look for CalDAV-supported programs (most email apps.)

Can't you just put the key in? Do they even have physical keys?

 

TL;DR: PROTON_LOG=1 drastically improves performance in Warframe.

I've been dealing with persistent stuttering and general slowdown in Warframe, particularly when assets were loading in upon startup and especially during loading screens. Generally, once I would get into actual gameplay things would be smooth (according to both myself and Mangohud,) but going from a hub to an open world area would completely tank performance or even outright halt rendering for 30 to 40 seconds in the worst-case scenario.

I decided to start poking into what was happening and immediately found out that PROTON_LOG=1 completely solves all of these problems. The longest loading time (30 seconds or so) is now 5 seconds. Missions load almost instantaneously.

The generated log is extremely verbose at around 1MB a minute. I don't see anything obviously wrong, but then again the game is working as it should.

Why is this? Wouldn't not generating the log be faster?
