| daftykins | still loads of issues with AMD Ryzen kit under Linuxso i hear | 02:40 |
|---|---|---|
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:00 |
| daftykins | heya :) | 09:01 |
| brobostigon | hi daftykins :) | 09:02 |
| daftykins | how's the morning looking? | 09:02 |
| brobostigon | cloudy. | 09:07 |
| daftykins | :D | 09:10 |
| brobostigon | :) | 09:12 |
| foobarry | RHEL updated their kernel. waiting for centos still :( | 09:13 |
| daftykins | there are no full fixes for both, so there won't be any feeling of comfort :) | 09:14 |
| foobarry | one is trivial to exploit with javascript | 09:16 |

| BobMottram[m] | Epic Linus | 09:25 |
| daftykins | goodness me, i'm trying out BBC Planet Earth II in 4K and HDR on my TV | 09:26 |
| daftykins | this really has to be seen to be believed | 09:26 |
| ali1234 | i must say, the way that exploit works is really clever | 09:32 |
| ali1234 | a timing attack on the cache | 09:33 |
| daftykins | funky | 10:15 |
| MooDoo | howdy all | 10:37 |
| daftykins | \o | 10:37 |
| diddledan | https://www.macrumors.com/2017/12/27/lisa-source-code-free-release-2018/ | 11:05 |
| zleap | i read about that | 11:08 |
| daftykins | oh dear lord these fools talking the CPU issue news and talking about how their games might slow down... | 11:11 |
| daftykins | oops s/talking/taking/ | 11:12 |
| diddledan | haha | 11:12 |
| diddledan | gotta keep the fps up | 11:12 |
| daftykins | let's make that faceslaps per second for this one :> | 11:13 |
| diddledan | because more fps == more accurate shooting. who cares that the frames are displayed on a static 60Hz display (ignoring freesync because that's voodoo) | 11:13 |
| diddledan | with freesync, if you're maxxing your gfx at 15fps does that mean you get flicker that wouldn't be visible on a nonfreesync screen because the nonfreesync would still display 60Hz? | 11:14 |
| daftykins | freesync and g-sync techs are variable refresh, so it's only gonna draw when it's getting updates, i'm not sure what the minimum bound is though | 11:16 |
| diddledan | yeah so if it doesn't get an update then surely it'll go blank? | 11:17 |
| daftykins | might just repeat the prior | 11:17 |
| diddledan | voodoo | 11:17 |
| daftykins | you wouldn't be letting it go that low anyway though xD that'd be a lot of money to blow and be daft enough to run the settings so high it's at slideshow | 11:18 |
| diddledan | morons be morons | 11:18 |
| diddledan | new gpu and monitor == turn the settings to 11 | 11:18 |
| daftykins | it is a shame you have to pick a card and go with that tech though, if Vesa had moved faster there would be a standard against DisplayPort that everyone could be benefitting from | 11:20 |
| diddledan | yeah, and freesync is incompatible with gsync and vicky verky | 11:20 |
| diddledan | afaict that is | 11:21 |
| diddledan | I assume the cable for a gsync monitor is called the g-string? | 11:21 |
| * daftykins groans | 11:22 | |
| diddledan | it wasn't that good | 11:23 |
| daftykins | i haven't seen one of these fancy displays in action yet, tbh | 11:24 |
| diddledan | oh you weren't groaning from ecstasy? | 11:24 |
| daftykins | well, i was at a mates who had one and played a bit of Doom but wasn't convinced it was working | 11:24 |
| diddledan | doom .. on gsync .. 5000fps?! | 11:25 |
| diddledan | seriously overpowered | 11:25 |
| daftykins | i actually can't get it to run now i've got my PC on the new OLED TV, just insta-crashes | 11:25 |
| daftykins | haven't been bothered to put more time into resolving it | 11:25 |
| diddledan | weird | 11:26 |
| daftykins | think it could be a result of installing the game and its' deps prior to a new windows build going on, which could've ruined something in the order | 11:39 |
| foobarry | got the new centos kernel, just released | 12:33 |
| daftykins | hot off the press! | 12:38 |
| foobarry | ubuntu have really dropped a gonad on this one | 14:49 |
| m0nkey_ | diddledan: I need your regex skillz | 15:28 |
| m0nkey_ | Or any JS experts :) | 15:41 |
| diddledan | m0nkey_: huhu | 15:51 |
| m0nkey_ | It's okay, got it figured out now. | 15:51 |
| diddledan | bah, I suck | 15:51 |
| m0nkey_ | Too slow :) | 15:51 |
| diddledan | I was out | 15:52 |
| diddledan | preliminary cpu issue patch benchmarks vs pre-patch: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux-415-x86pti&num=2 | 15:54 |
| m0nkey_ | ugh, I/O is going to suck | 15:56 |
