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

[09:25] <BobMottram[m]> Epic Linus
[09:26] <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
[09:32] <ali1234> i must say, the way that exploit works is really clever
[09:33] <ali1234> a timing attack on the cache
[10:15] <daftykins> funky
[10:37] <MooDoo> howdy all
[10:37] <daftykins> \o
[11:05] <diddledan> https://www.macrumors.com/2017/12/27/lisa-source-code-free-release-2018/
[11:08] <zleap> i read about that
[11:11] <daftykins> oh dear lord these fools talking the CPU issue news and talking about how their games might slow down...
[11:12] <daftykins> oops s/talking/taking/
[11:12] <diddledan> haha
[11:12] <diddledan> gotta keep the fps up
[11:13] <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)
[11:14] <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?
[11:16] <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
[11:17] <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
[11:18] <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
[11:20] <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
[11:21] <diddledan> afaict that is
[11:21] <diddledan> I assume the cable for a gsync monitor is called the g-string?
[11:22]  * daftykins groans
[11:23] <diddledan> it wasn't that good
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <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
[11:26] <diddledan> weird
[11:39] <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
[12:33] <foobarry> got the new centos kernel, just released
[12:38] <daftykins> hot off the press!
[14:49] <foobarry> ubuntu have really dropped a gonad on this one
[15:28] <m0nkey_> diddledan: I need your regex skillz
[15:41] <m0nkey_> Or any JS experts :)
[15:51] <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 :)
[15:52] <diddledan> I was out
[15:54] <diddledan> preliminary cpu issue patch benchmarks vs pre-patch: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux-415-x86pti&num=2
[15:56] <m0nkey_> ugh, I/O is going to suck
