Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I lied, my game crashing issue is still not fixed.English
4·3 months agoI had a PSU with one malfunctioning GPU power cable, but I spent a year with a half powered 1080 randomly crashing and cursing the state of linux and nvidia drivers. Memcheck said the ram is fine, temps are fine, other games work fine, it has to be the software! Oops…
Really though it’s the holidays, I’m feeling charitable. This one’s on me - no worries.
I’ll pull the plug right now for free, as a public service.
This domain looks like basic public file hosting that is likely being abused enough to earn the warning. I think not everything it hosts is seedy.

12·5 months agoAw really wholesome actually. Some libraries in my area have senior friendly editing classes, I think it’s becoming more popular. Good looking out for them!

53·5 months agoWhy do people do stuff like this, is the logic not difficult enough to follow on it’s own without a secondary definition table to consult!? Fucking hell.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?
11·5 months agoThe secrets themselves were basically guids, they had quite a lot of characters. If sent MORE than 1 character, pretty low chance they would clash. But those long guids also covered a lot of letters and number - it wasn’t terribly difficult to find one single character that cleared authorization reliably.
And maybe you’re joking lol, but multitenant meaning multiple businesses/customers using the same application stored in the same database. If Bob’s construction wanted to spy on Jim’s contracting, they’d just need to know the right header to send and could get whatever they wanted from the other customer partitions. User access should of course be limited to their own assigned partitions.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?
661·5 months agoI’ve had legacy systems that would encrypt user passwords, but also save the password confirmation field in plain text. There was a multitenent application that would allow front end clients to query across any table for any tenant, if you knew how to change a header. Oh and an API I discovered that would validate using “contains” for a pre-shared secret key. Basically if the secret key was “azh+37ukg”, you could send any single individual character like “z” and it would accept the request.
Shits focked out here, mate.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Do Vulkan shaders need to be processed before every game?English
5·6 months agoI dont know the specific answer unfortunately, I suspect there is another layer to the caching story with Proton/Wine Prefixes/DXVK in Linux. If the translation layer gets an update independent of the graphics driver, that could maybe also cause a cache invalidation to occur. I notice that behavior more often when I’m using Proton Experimental.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Do Vulkan shaders need to be processed before every game?English
111·6 months agoShaders have to be processed when the video drivers are updated, and time to process will depend from game to game, how many shaders there are. After they are processed, shaders can be cached and recalled without a performance hit. But the cache will be invalidated after a driver update.
If you skip preprocessing, you may see a hitch the first time a shader is used in a game scene. Like if you pick up a gun that shoots blue flames, and the game hasn’t used the blue flames before - it has to process that immediately before displaying the blue flames - which takes a split second.
This realtime impact can be small or large, depending how many shaders load into a scene simultaneously. Loading a new map with lots of unique textures and unprocessed shaders is generally when you’ll see the big hitches as it scrambles to compile them.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Apparently, Rocket League and Fall Guys are being ported to Fortnite. Both games currently work on Linux, but in the future, they may require playing through FortniteEnglish
32·6 months agoYeah basically new game modes. Rocket Racing is an arcade racer, Fortnite Festival is a rock band like rhythm game, both are entirely independent from battle royale but still integrated into fortnite eco system with skins and characters going between them. This is the metaverse vision that Sweeney never stops talking about coming to fruition.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needsEnglish
3·7 months agoI use notesnook but I don’t self host, just the app locally. It has an option to insert a task list into the note, and that has drag and drop reordering. It also encrypts at rest, and has text search. Hope that helps your decision.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•A return to visiting websites directly rather than searching seems to have been forced upon us. Would it be useful to build a wiki for web resources so people can find and bookmark websites by topic?

I similarly had to give up caffeine after an ER scare late last year. I didn’t turn in the card, but geeez I had no idea how hard raw dogging the work week would be.
