General Chat / The NVIDIA GeForce Experience
Last post by viviridian - Apr 12, 2025, 05:53 AM
today i found out that I couldn't access smb file shares on my laptop that has a secondary nvidia gpu. i am using the cursèd drivers

any time I tried to navigate to one in kde dolphin, i'd get a notification saying that the kio worker had crashed. who was in the call stack? libnvidia-tls

the workaround? set this environment variable in ~/.config/environment.d/: __GL_CONSTANT_FRAME_RATE_HINT=3

General Chat / Thunderstorms?

Thunderstorms: what's the deal vibe take prevailing opinion????

it'd be nice to have instructions for setting up and hacking on smf locally with the packages we have here. i'll *probably* do this myself, just making a thread to track the idea
#54
I wonder whether this is something that packages can fiddle with, or if it'll require directly modifying smf. Not sure if there have been any modifications to this smf or if it's vanilla with packages on top

I also don't know if there are limits on packages. back when I was doing stuff with smf I just edited php in prod

classic. i really enjoyed the sorta tutorialized behind-the-scenes they posted about their process too.

It's always hard to parse out the text of the post from the rest of the email template, mainly because "The text of the reply is shown below:" only has a single line break after it... Having two links at the top is also really distracting, especially the huge unsubscribe link which really belongs below the post text (might even want to do that with the topic link as well, but I don't feel as strongly about that one).

Those are the main pain points for me, but here's a few other notes:
  • The subject line doesn't necessarily need to have "Topic reply" etc., since it obscures the post title (which is not reproduced in the body of the email either)
  • Similar to the other elements, the poster's username is also obscured, buried at the end of a sentence
  • The plain-text post formatter doesn't handle quotes well, with no line prefix for the quoted text, only sticking the "Quote [from: username on ...]" header in front of the first line without any line break or spacing at all

As an example of notifications that are nicer to read, I generally like how GitHub's notification emails are formatted. For new threads (issues/PRs/etc.) and comments:
  • The subject line is formatted "[OrgName/RepoName] Thread Title (PR #69)"
  • The sender name in the header is set to the author of the post
  • The body:
    • immediately begins with the post's text content
    • followed by post-specific metadata if applicable
    • then is capped off with a generic footer with origin & unsubscribe links
    • and each section is separated by <hr>

Now, I of course don't expect to drastically alter how SMF's emails work (especially with downstream patches). But just shuffling the existing pieces around would be a great improvement on its own.

yesss. i noticed yesterday that the soundtrack just got a few songs added to it, too -- since they just released the update that lets you take on Sunny as a partner, so they naturally had to add "Sunny's theme" and "Sunny's theme (heartfelt)" as well as the BGM for somewhere you go for her storyline. hope i find some time to revisit it for all that soon
sameeeee, they did such a good job with that world and the soundtrack for it, I'm looking forward to getting back to it (and catching up with all the other stuff they added since I last played—they have multiplayer and everything!!)

My current list lives at https://buttslol.net/ublock-filters.txt but I've started compiling them using templating and it's lost the comments context. Maybe I will fix this to not use Nix someday.

I'm using https://docs.rs/noline/latest/noline/ in my silly little RP2040 project for this exact reason. It gets things "right enough".
