Truly happy for you!

I was originally multi booting LTS Ubuntu to meet reqs for work with Arch for gaming and everything except sleep worked pretty well. The Wayland cutover sucked for years as they fixed one thing and broke another. HDR never worked correctly.

Yes and no. Objectively $650 plus tax is a lot of money. I intended to go with the non XT for $80 less. And I probably would have been pleased with a 9060 or 9070 GRE.

But I paid $540 plus tax for the 2700 super just before the pandemic. So with inflation, this felt like the same kind of hit. And I wasn't planning to replace the rest of the underpinnings either. 3900x, 64gb ddr4 3600, x570 motherboard).

I really just wanted shit to work (again). The frame rates are a bonus. It feels like coming home. And this coming from someone who remembers gaming on Linux before proton.

Rejoined the red team (lemmy.world)
 

I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

No ragrets.

No regerts.

Team red 4lyfe (again).

For sure. Reversing the percentages here makes this far more difficult. I just felt we needed to shittify this post a little.

Great for calculating tips!

Let's see: the bill was $138.72, so I just need 138.72% of 20. And we can subtract 100% and just add the 20 back at the end, then convert the percentage to a decimal so (.3872 * 20) + 20 = 7.744 + 20 or $27.74.

Easy!

The antidote seemed pretty harsh

The Deadly Rise of Giant Trucks and S.U.V.s in c/news@lemmy.world

My insurance actually went down when I replaced my VW golf with an F150 lightning.

Conversely, my tabs cost 7x more.

But in CA, the value of the vehicle is very impactful and there's an additional $118 EV tax considered in registration fee calculation.

Mine was more like 470%, so yeah, I can believe that's the average increase.

Do you have any movies that you rewatch at a specific time of year? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

It has been a minute since I've seen Southland Tales. What a trip! Time for another rewatch.

Stellar list overall too!

What are your opinions on regular drinking? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

With you. Love beer, cocktails, whisk(e)y, amaro, etc. And I really don't like getting drunk (I do sometimes, but always regret it).

2-3/night is my usual. Usually a beer after work then another 1 or two throughout the evening. Add an afternoon beer or cocktail on the weekends. Well-spaced. Almost never more than 5 drinks in an entire day.

Installed a 40amp car charger (slrpnk.net)
 

Installed a 40amp circuit for the EVs after charging a PHEV for 5 years and a BEV truck for almost a year on a single 15amp circuit.

50ft x 8 AWG x 4 wires isn't cheap ($1.32/ft with tax), plus conduit, straps, breaker, wet location boxes and outlet cover and the extra cost for an EV rated outlet.

Wasn't room between the post and the garage door king stud for a flush mount box, oh well.

I'll pay the electrician for a proper hard-wired charger when we upgrade service and run it from the main panel instead.

Podman Quadlets are so cool (lemmy.world)
 

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

GTWC - Sonoma (lemmy.world)
 

Anyone else spending their weekend with the Sonoma action?

I've been jumping between the feeds for all the races/qualifying today. The Toyota GR Cup was particularly fun to watch. The new McLaren series seems like it could shape up pretty well too!

Phase 2 of my closet build out (lemmy.world)
 

Got the uppers painted and installed.

Time to find some MDF for the face frame, drawer fronts, and shelves. Which reminds me, I need a router bit for the integrated drawer pulls she wants.

Installed my first project (lemmy.world)
 

My first project is really coming together!

Built a set of drawers cabinets to my wife's specs for the closet. Still have uppers, face frame and overlay fronts to do, but the garage was too full to keep going.

4ft (122cm) tall bank of drawers with full extension soft close undermount slides. 88in.(222cm) wide.

Feel free to make fun of the 2x4 toe kick! Rest assured I've learned my lesson.

All cuts made with my portable DeWalt table saw after breaking down sheets with my Ryobi circular saw and a harbor freight clamp as an edge guide.

Paste wax (lemmy.world)
 

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
