[02:40] still loads of issues with AMD Ryzen kit under Linuxso i hear [09:00] morning boys and girls. [09:01] heya :) [09:02] hi daftykins :) [09:02] how's the morning looking? [09:07] cloudy. [09:10] :D [09:12] :) [09:13] RHEL updated their kernel. waiting for centos still :( [09:14] there are no full fixes for both, so there won't be any feeling of comfort :) [09:16] one is trivial to exploit with javascript [09:17] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/3/797 [09:25] Epic Linus [09:26] goodness me, i'm trying out BBC Planet Earth II in 4K and HDR on my TV [09:26] this really has to be seen to be believed [09:32] i must say, the way that exploit works is really clever [09:33] a timing attack on the cache [10:15] funky [10:37] howdy all [10:37] \o [11:05] https://www.macrumors.com/2017/12/27/lisa-source-code-free-release-2018/ [11:08] i read about that [11:11] oh dear lord these fools talking the CPU issue news and talking about how their games might slow down... [11:12] oops s/talking/taking/ [11:12] haha [11:12] gotta keep the fps up [11:13] let's make that faceslaps per second for this one :> [11:13] 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] 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] 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] yeah so if it doesn't get an update then surely it'll go blank? [11:17] might just repeat the prior [11:17] voodoo [11:18] 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] morons be morons [11:18] new gpu and monitor == turn the settings to 11 [11:20] 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] yeah, and freesync is incompatible with gsync and vicky verky [11:21] afaict that is [11:21] I assume the cable for a gsync monitor is called the g-string? [11:22] * daftykins groans [11:23] it wasn't that good [11:24] i haven't seen one of these fancy displays in action yet, tbh [11:24] oh you weren't groaning from ecstasy? [11:24] well, i was at a mates who had one and played a bit of Doom but wasn't convinced it was working [11:25] doom .. on gsync .. 5000fps?! [11:25] seriously overpowered [11:25] i actually can't get it to run now i've got my PC on the new OLED TV, just insta-crashes [11:25] haven't been bothered to put more time into resolving it [11:26] weird [11:39] 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] got the new centos kernel, just released [12:38] hot off the press! [14:49] ubuntu have really dropped a gonad on this one [15:28] diddledan: I need your regex skillz [15:41] Or any JS experts :) [15:51] m0nkey_: huhu [15:51] It's okay, got it figured out now. [15:51] bah, I suck [15:51] Too slow :) [15:52] I was out [15:54] preliminary cpu issue patch benchmarks vs pre-patch: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux-415-x86pti&num=2 [15:56] ugh, I/O is going to suck
