hey so this is a long shot but does anyone here have experience with troubleshooting amd cards on linux? just switched from a gt 970 to a 6700xt and no matter what i do the driver won't load (i.e. as soon as it leaves vga mode, the screen goes black and the computer stops responding)

it happens on both my main linux install, as well as a fedora liveusb; doesn't happen on windows 11 so it's likely not an issue with the card

kernel logs show no errors when the amdgpu module is loaded, it just seems to be starting and then the whole computer locks up and freezes

If you're on a rolling release distro (Debian Unstable, Fedora Rawhide, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Arch Linux, Alpine Linux Edge, NixOS unstable etc.), which software tends to experience the most frequent regressions in your experience?

#Fedora #Alpine #Debian #Alpine #ArchLinux #NixOS #Linux

every time I watch a Paul McKenney talk or read a summary, my understanding of what I don't understand expands

Quite happy with how Xen x86 maintainers/reviewers are responding to the idea of modernizing the current ASID allocator. I held the design session this morning at the #xensummit regarding the same and it was quite nice to have bunch of discussions regarding the same.

The need for this has come up as part of SEV enablement work I've been doing since last few months. Slides of my talk from yesterday on the SEV project can be found here: https://sched.co/1bCFk

Popular opinion, room-temperature take: the best short Pixar ever did was the first 5 minutes of "Up"

Excited to share bug detection tool we've been working on together with Dmitry:

https://github.com/google/gwpsan

GWPSan is a framework for low-overhead sampling-based dynamic binary instrumentation, designed for implementing various bug detectors (aka. "sanitizers") suitable for production uses.

Currently can do data-race detection, use-after-return detection, and use-of-uninits. But many more possible.

Needs Linux kernel 6.4+, and Clang 18+.

Still somewhat experimental. Use with care.

@lkundrak @ljs what job do you get in Brno for lifting the fridge into the tree?

35 years ago today, June 4, 1989, Poles ousted the communist party in the first partly free elections since WW2. The election set off a chain of events that led to the opening of the Berlin wall. The USSR's European empire had collapsed by the end of the year.
Also on June 4, 1989, the Chinese army fired on Tianamen Square protesters, ending any hope of political change. The massacre helped inspire the Chinese communist party to create the total surveillance state they are completing today.

Many, many years ago, a new specification called "XML" emerged. After a bit, people realized it was kinda useful for some stuff.

Then, something happened.

MANAGERS!

I imagine many conversations between managers / developers somewhat like this:

M: "So, what is the nice thing with #XML

D: "oh, it is a specification that simplifies stuff, since tools have a clean format to work with."

M: "So, what kinda specifications?"

D: "Oh, it can be more or less anything."

M: *starry eyed!* "an.. an... anything?"

I was teaching computer courses for companies at that point. Suddenly, my calendar was just packed with XML courses.

It is like very limited what you can teach, it is not really complex, so you talk surrounding technologies. But not...

"Our boss wants us to replace the SQL db with XML?"

"what?"

"We gonna use XML instead of MS SQL"

"... what?"

"He said XML can be used for anything..."

If you think companies with #AI plans have actual plans, with a strategy make sense, please think of this story.

lol apparently 20% of all government revenue of this place, whatever and wherever it is, comes from having .ai tld
