Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
I think that MSI board has the worst implementation of UEFI I've ever worked with, it's much better on my Gigabyte board. But UEFI in general isn't that great. I remember the first time I encountered it during a distro install, I found it disgusting to be forced to have a Microsoft file system on my...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
One way to find out while leaving your current Arch install intact would be a second Arch install on a second drive, it could just be some small cheap drive just for testing purposes. Then you could see first hand if it makes enough of a difference to bother with. If the difference isn't that signif...

Fun With Corrupted DE's
This weekend I replaced the machine I use alongside the company laptop, replacing it with the Fractal box and MSI board I was trying to use as my main machine, I put the 12th gen i7 previously in it before I got the i9 back in it (the i9 is now in my Corsair box & Gigabyte board). I installed va...

Re: XZ Utils Backdoor
Some of the Windows fanboys are gloating over this now, claiming this as proof that open source is "inherently insecure". But they're ignoring the fact that it could just as easily happen to Windows via a rouge MS employee who hired on for the sole purpose of doing the same thing, building...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Besides checking the ratings for hardware guess we should also be looking at their RMA policies and what other buyers have reported about their RMA experiences. I got lucky with the XFX Radeon 7 card that died, XFX's RMA process worked well and I got a full refund. Maybe give their chat one more try...

Re: Health Issues
Thanks Grogan. I finally got some sleep last night by simply sitting upright in a non-reclined recliner. I have two recliners, I usually sleep in one that's more adjustable but less padded, while the other one is much more padded, but reclines too much for my reflux. If I'm not using the recline fun...

Manually Setting EFI Boot
Previously my new Arch install wasn't seen by the motherboard's UEFI, so the only way I could boot into it was via another distro's bootloader. Here's how I fixed EFI boot for both Arch and for Slackware, with the efi-directory adjusted to where the efi partition is mounted (/boot in Arch), and the ...

Researchers have found a malicious backdoor in a compression tool that made its way into widely used Linux distributions, including those from Red Hat and Debian. The compression utility, known as xz Utils, introduced the malicious code in versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, according to Andres Freund, the...

Re: Speaking Of BIOS Updates..
In this case it was the first gen processor for this socket with the board introduced around the same time, but when I'm not sure I'll look up the specs for a board I'm considering to see what processor series it supports.

Re: Speaking Of BIOS Updates..
I've had to have older CPU's installed on boards just long enough to flash the BIOS so that it supported the newer one I wanted to use. It helps when you have something lying around to do that with (AMD tends to stick with the same socket for multiple generations) but it's a problem when you don't. ...
