Monitor I/O on the drive; is anything using it while your system is idle?

What’s I/O like when loading an album?

@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Does it work if you enable VRR via xorg config?

Which xorg driver are/were you using, amdgpu or modesetting?

This reads like a phrase from Half as Interesting.

It’s too early to tell; you must investigate further.

The process for this is that you want to set your prefix to the /boot partition in the (hd1, gpt1) syntax (use ls) and then load the “normal” module. From then on, you should have regular GRUB again and should be able to boot your OS to properly fix GRUB.

Atemu , to linux in XZ Utils is back on GitHub and Lasse Collin has been unbanned
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

XZ is a slog to compress and decompress but compresses a bit smaller than zstd.

zstd is quite quick to compress, very quick to decompress, scales to many cores (vanilla xz is single-core only) and scales a lot further in the quicker end of the compression speed <-> file size trade-off spectrum while using the same format.

Atemu , to asklemmy in what does everyone think about piped bot and other bots
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t like the Piped bot at all.

What should be posted on the internet should be the canonical source of some content, not a proxy for it. If users prefer a proxy, they should configure their clients to redirect to the proxy. Piped instances come and go and the entire project is at the mercy of Google tolerating it/not taking action against it, so it could be gone tomorrow.

I use piped myself. I have client-side configurations which simply redirects all Youtube links to my piped instance. No need for any bots here.

This would better be done in the front-end rather than a comment bot.

Atemu , to linux in How the xz backdoor highlights a major flaw in Nix
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

This blog post misses entirely that this has nothing to do with the unstable channel. It just happened to only affect unstable this time because it gets updates first. If we had found out about the xz backdoor two months later (totally possible; we were really lucky this time), this would have affected a stable channel in exactly the same way. (It’d be slightly worse actually because that’d be a potentially breaking change too but I digress.)

I see two way to “fix” this:

  • Throw a shitton of money at builders. I could see this getting staging-next rebuild times down to just 1-2 days which I’d say is almost acceptable. This could even be a temporary thing to reduce cost; quickly renting an extremely large on-demand fleet from some cloud provider for a day whenever a critical world rebuild needs to be done which shouldn’t be too often.
  • Implement pure grafting for important security patches through a second overlay-like mechanism.

It was not vulnerable to this particular attack because the attack didn’t specifically target Nixpkgs. It could have very well done so if they had wanted to.

This has nothing to do with “unstable” or the specific channel. It could have happened on the stable channel too; depending on the timing.

@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

AFAIK, affected versions never made it to stable as there was no reason to backport it.

xz is necessarily in the stdenv. Patching it means rebuilding the world, no matter what you optimise.

No.
