Some nice news for once :) I have devised a genius plan to end global warming, engineer a super coral that is photosynthetic and plant it everywhere. As it accumulates and deposits carbonate it will suck CO2 out of the ocean and therefore the atmosphere. We will end up living on gigantic coral structures because the sea level rose, but at least the corals will save us.

Audio and performance issues on dual-booted thinkpad (whiskers.bim.boats)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

2 comments fedilink

Hi there,

Making a post to see if anyone has any ideas about the problems i'm currently having. I have installed Arch via EndeavourOS as a secondary OS on my work laptop (other OS is Win 11). The laptop in question is a thinkpad p15 v3, which has an i7 12700H, and the integrated Intel Alder Lake-P gpu. I'm using Gnome on wayland as my DE at the moment.

The only game I have been playing so far is Hollow Knight through proton (the native version had very bad input lag), and I have a couple of issues with it:

Performance, on battery power, is pretty bad, around 30-40 fps with low settings. When on AC, the laptop starts to get really hot (70 C) and the exhaust feels like a hair dryer, but performance increases only by 10 fps or so. I'm pretty sure I installed necessary drivers following the arch wiki page.
Audio, this is the major problem. Endeavour came with pulseaudio installed, which I removed and replaced with pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber. When playing Hollow Knight the sound will often turn into crunchy 8-bit sounding stuff, which I thought was a buffer underrun, and I followed the fixes listed on arch wiki, but to no avail.

Now the audio has seemingly completely stopped working, in pavucontrol I have 5 output devices, but switching through all of them whilst playing audio from my browser still results in no sound through headphones. In the configuration, there is "Alder Lake-PCH-P High definition audio controller" and it remains "Off". When I switch it to "On", it switches back immediately. The pipewire services are running however.

If anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated

Some logs and configs:

Environmental protester halt the world championship in cycling... one of the best alternatives to fuel driven transportation.... by appel in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago

I don't know the ideologies of the protestors, but I do agree with protesting against "big cycling". Cycling around on a trusty steel bike which you can repair yourself is environmentally friendly. Buying a new carbon fiber bike every few years because it is 2% more aero than the last is not. Instead of standardized parts, the cycling industry wants you to buy cheap ones that break fast, and can only be replaced with their specific parts. They sell this to you by including some upgrades in chains, cassettes etc. The cycling industry is the same as any other industry, it exists to make profits. Truly sustainable things do not come from making profits.

Fairphone drawbacks? by appel in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago

Re ethical consumption, my opinion is, if you don't absolutely need a new phone (broken beyond use) don't get a new one. And then when you do get a "new" phone, get a second hand one. Fairphone may be "ethical" but it's still marketing to get you to spend money on a new device. Reusing one will always be more ethical.

package to move and manage folders? (whiskers.bim.boats)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

1 comments fedilink

Hi,

I'm looking for a package that will allow me to configure some rules for moving folders and then watch a folder and automatically move folders or files that match rules to a certain other directory. Does something like this exist?

The use case is that I have data being saved to a single directory by other devices, and then I would like to reorganize it based on the file or folder name.

Or anyone have any other ideas of how to do this?

foss garmin bike computer apps (whiskers.bim.boats)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I’m wondering if there are any good foss apps for connecting to a garmin bike computer (520) to transfer GPX files?

I used to use Komoot to generate my routes, and then their garmin app would download them from my account. This isn’t very foss, so I was looking for some better tools to make this work.

I was planning to use OsmAnd to create the route file, but then after that I would have to use Garmin Connect to transfer the file. (and with storage sandboxing, that would be very fiddly)

Any tips?

Sailing to escape (whiskers.bim.boats)

Hello sailors, I just wanted to share my hopes to one day be living in a sailboat off grid. I was wondering if anyone else has done this, or any recommendations anyone might have? I have read some books on the matter, such as Get Real, Get Gone, and found it very informative. At this stage, when I cannot leave land for at least a few more years, I am thinking of getting a smaller sailboat to practice with and do some small trips.
