I'm probably going to go with that i9-12900K then, it should be enough CPU. I am still undecided on motherboard.

Something that I'm going to be doing in the next few days (hopefully, whenever dad's new laptop comes). There are a few ways to do this. This is a pretty good link here, with screenshots and stuff, so I'll post it and summarize a few things https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-windows-11-without-m...

I might as well start a thread for this. Well, it looks like the Rocket Lake (11th gen i9) plan is bust, due to the availability of Z590 boards. I know if I look, I'd find one, but I'm unwilling to trust unknown retailers. Currently I'll shop at Amazon (still have Prime) or Canada Computers. I won't...

I don't get how an acorn would spook a cop to start firing in a panic. There are some excitable boys that probably shouldn't have guns.

Testicling this media embed extension I just installed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bBdXdAhzBg You just have to paste the URL (I was confused by an old FAQ entry for the addon that indicated using [embed] [/embed] tags but that neither is necessary nor recognized). It's changed to [media] [/med...

Me too, I like Acer. Good quality for the money (at least the hardware, maybe housings and shit not so much). I said "we're getting an Acer... I'll go to their web site and pick a model"

Last time we bought two laptops for the kids direct from Acer, the shipping was excellent.

Aspire 5 Laptop - A515-58M-56BP https://store.acer.com/en-ca/aspire-5-laptop-a515-58m-56bp We ordered this for my Dad yesterday, he needs to have his own surf buggy because Mom is on the PC a lot. The CPU is "Intel® Core™ i5-1335U processor Deca-core 1.30 GHz" (low base frequency for power...

Something I forgot to mention: cat >>../mozconfig <<END # Arch upstream has it in their PKGBUILD, ALARM does not for aarch64: #ac_add_options --disable-elf-hack There is no need to --disable-elf-hack. That is a useful method of reducing relocation overhead in that big libxul.so. Distributors routine...

Updated PKGBUILD for LibreWolf 123.0 Changes: pkgver and pkgrel, sha256sum of librewolf tarball. If not for wanting the checksums to match, I'd have just had you change the pkgver lol The patch is still the same, comment out the patch line if you don't want it. I tested this as far as prepare(), you...

So Librewolf 123.0-1 has been released https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source/releases/tag/123.0-1 I'm going to have to build this on Arch for now (I don't want to downgrade my LLVM, for when 18.1.0 is a release it'll be easier to upgrade (blast DESTDIR through /usr instead of having to manually dele...

I started up Borderlands 3 tonight and there's a new splash screen... it's the movie cast. It's still a ways off, Aug. 2024.

There's also a pretty good trailer out now

It sounds like he's doing well, and taking care of his health. He can have more good years. It doesn't sound like he's in mental decline... pensive as always

I set up a build in Arch before bed last night (my way, not PKGBUILD). LLVM 17.0.6, Rust 1.76.0 with my WASI stuff dropped in. I used -mtune=nehalem because the LLD linker will crash on libxul with LTO. That's still better than a flat build with -march (benchmark scores). Arch skipped LLVM 16 altoge...

It looks like my problems with LLVM 18.1.0 and Firefox go deeper. My plain build last night was fine, but when compiled with profiling hooks, the browser won't run for profiling. I'm doing a manual build (stepping through the commands rather than script and I'll try profiling in my X11 session inste...

That sure does look like something I could play, a strategy game (choices) but third person shooter perspective and action. So far the requirements are only listed as Windows 10 and 64 bit processor, but that'll just be because they aren't determined yet.

Shit... probably somebody's silly pet that got loose. I don't think tarantulas are native

Heheh... I always wished I could do that, go back to medieval times with machine guns and shit lol

I'll have to watch for that one

So that Rust 1.78-nightly wasn't any good for building Firefox. Too many of their crates are not compatible. However, that doesn't really matter at this time because I have a perfectly good Rust 1.76.0 with LLVM 17.0.6 built in that I just put back. The benefit of static linking. LLVM 18.1.0 itself ...

Yeah, some of these LLVM based tools actually crash when they hit some conditions. After upgrading my LLVM to 18.1.0-rc3 I first tried to compile the current stable Rust 1.76.0 and it failed so horribly that rustc segfaulted. It got most of the way through, built the rustc compiler and std library, ...

I decided to try my luck with LLVM 18.1.0-rc3 since it's almost ready. What the hell, there's a reason I dropped all shared dependencies on its libraries. It's disabled for mesa... I use ACO only and even Rust now I link to it statically. At least I can get a new Rust build (bootstrap) off the groun...

Actually not a bad attachment upload interface. It just went ahead and did it, because the colour palette there is dismal and it was within the 256 kb limit (which I may have set, I don't remember). It scaled the image down to a decent size, but the image data is still there if right clicked and vie...

In case your life isn't hellish enough, this is the Underworld, where normal, unheroic people go

Also, I don't think I've ever posted a picture attachment here. So here goes. I probably have to go and adjust prudish settings first lol

Well, bummer... I knew it had to do with vector instructions from the backtrace, but I was thinking it was more the rust SIMD in the new Rust. It had nothing to do with Rust at all. I tried with my previous Rust 1.75.0 (didn't need a rebuild for LLVM... it's static) and had the linker failure (a pro...

Firefox 123.0 Release Notes now: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/123.0/releasenotes/ We’ve integrated search into Firefox View. You can now search through all of the tabs on each of the section subpages - Recent Browsing, Open Tabs, Recently Closed Tabs, Tabs from other devices, or History. Ha...

I was unsuccessful at building Firefox 123.0 with LLVM 17 and Rust 1.76.0 (just upgraded that today before the firefox build). The first phase of the build completed and ran for profiling, but it bombed out during the LTO build near the end. It looks like the compiler (clang++) crashed which can hap...

I ended up fast traveling back to Greece for a few nights of "farming". It's really expensive to upgrade gear at high levels and my armor got several levels old. Now some of my shit is going to cost like 2500 obsidian glass (I've got lots of everything else including money) to get it up to...

Firefox 123.0 is out today, but with no release notes yet. https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/123.0/ I wouldn't expect it so soon, but I did check Librewolf and there's nothing yet. They DID eventually release a 122.0.1 but by that time it was a day late and a dollar short, there was no po...

... and yeah, it's both a snow day, and a slow day

Compiling this on Linux is fairly easy, and the requirements are not steep. I do it on my from-scratch system and it's always been basic dependencies I've already had. https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG?tab=readme-ov-file#compile_linux Essentially, the dependencies (outside of a basic d...

I thought to check to see if that got updated lately, and kind of just blindly started a build. I noticed the checkout pulled in subprojects I'd never seen before. It uses this NVRHI API now to hook up DirectX 12 on Windows (with "+set graphicsAPI Vulkan" as an alternative) and Vulkan only...
