You can look at the app list on join-lemmy.org. Ignore the big scary warnings on there about non foss apps unless you want a foss app. Most of the proprietary apps are just made by hobbyists who don’t want the world to see their spaghetti code.
My computer has an AMD Radeon R2 Graphics. It seems like both the radeon and the amdgpu modules are installed but the kernel driver in use is radeon. I’d show the output of “vulkaninfo” but it doesn’t seem to show the full thing, is there a way I can get it to show the full output?
Cool, you’re going to have to enable Sea Islands (CIK) support for amdgpu. You should just have to add radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 to your kernel parameters. You’re probably using GRUB so to do that you’ll need to run sudo nano /etc/default/grub to edit it’s config file, then add the above to the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (keep it in the quotes, but space seperated from the previous parameter). Then reboot and hopefully Vulkan works!
Did I do it correctly? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1” After saving, is there anything else I have to do it get it to work?
I never would have thought of it but I recently saw a novel use of DNS to exfiltrate data from a compromised server.
My employer takes security very seriously. Our public facing web servers are very thoroughly locked down, or so we thought. We contract with companies like HackerOne to perform penetration testing etc. One of their white hat hackers managed a remote command attack, and copied data off of the server via a string of DNS queries.
Suppose the hacker owned the domain example.com, and he had his own authoritative nameserver for it. He just ran a series of commands that took, for example, a password file, and ran DNS queries for line1.example.com, line2.example.com, line3.example.com and so on for each line in the file. As a result the log file on his DNS server collected each line of the password file as it responded to each query.
This is what I get when I try to run that set of commands: `j@j-HP-Notebook:~$ sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386 vulkan-tools vkd3d-demos mesa-opencl-icd clinfo libxrandr2 libxrandr2:i386 libvulkan-dev libvulkan-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 vkmark glmark2-x11 firmware-amd-graphics radeontop xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu [sudo] password for j:

You need to activate contrib, non-free, non-free-firmware repos: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.listYou should have something like deb http://URL_OF_THE_REPO DISTRIBUTION main, you need to add contrib non-free non-free-firmware to the end of those lines like: deb http://URL_OF_THE_REPO DISTRIBUTION main contrib non-free non-free-firmwarethen you do sudo apt update and try installing the packages again.
I don’t know if I need to do that because Vulkan seems to be working now but is that correct? My sources.list file is empty and it states the wrong version of Linux mint. Should I actually edit “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list”, seeing that that has the actual list of repositories?
PC Another Lifeless Planet (and me with no beer) was fantastic for a text adventure. Testdrive pushed graphics hard Wolfenstein 3D was incredible at the time being surpassed by Doom then Quake. Day of the Tentacle for its high quality cartoon animation opening sequence. Unreal on a Voodoo graphics card was something else. HL2 of course with its physics (ragdoll) engine and jump in polygons. Doom 3 for its advance in polygon count again.
NES Super Mario 3 was a leap believe it or not. Blew people away back then. Battletoads had huge sprites which wasn’t a NES thing until they did it.
SNES Fzero and Mode-7 graphics Donkey Kong Country, its CG was nuts at the time FFVI’s snowfield theatrics Starfox
Sega Earthworm Jim had a great art style and pushed edgy games Another World/Out of this World for that opening and style was amazing and still holds up!
N64 Super Mario 64 Japanese demo at Babbages in a mall before the US demos came out. That was mind blowingly smooth. Waverace 64 for its water effects. Ocarina of Time for its cinematic 3D story telling and fun gameplay.
Neogeo Metal Slug was incredible in the arcade for all the sprites moving on screen and action. So much fun still to this day.
PlayStation Resident Evil was incredible for the atmosphere. Tomb Raider for more detailed 3D environments. Warhawk also stood out for its great use of the analog dual joysticks. FFVII for its cinematic story telling and FMVs. Wipeout for its fast paced racing and great OST. Grand Turismo for its photo realism simulation and physics.
Dreamcast
Seeing the demo of Sonic Adventure blew my mind since it was so fast and colorful. The whale jumping after Sonic as you raced away was burned into my brain.
Gamecube Wind Waker, still love that art style and loved the exploration that was enabled by sailing the sea. Didn’t feel that again till BoTW.
Wii Super Mario Galaxy for its outstanding OST and gameplay.
Playstation 2 Grand Turismo 3 Little Big Planet had incredible art direction and unique play style
Wii U/Switch Breath of the Wild. What an intro to a new world! They absolutely pushed the hardware to the limits on the Wii U.
Born in 1980. Seeing the original Mortal Kombat arcade for the first time at a smoke-filled bowling alley that when I was in 7th grade was pretty awe inspiring.
Aside from that playing Wolfenstein 3d for the first time was really trippy.
Is dropping your phone on your face really this common shared experience tons of people have? (I’ve done it myself) I swear I’ve been seeing a lot of memes about it recently.
