| daftykins | mornin', well... about time to say goodbye to September | 12:57 |
|---|---|---|
| zxmpi | the pumpkin spice season is upon us | 13:38 |
| daftykins | hehe | 14:31 |
| zxmpi | the spice must flow | 15:04 |
| daftykins | speaking of flowing, i just got back from the opticians where i had a very funky procedure once again of having my eyelid glands squeezed with tweezers, my my | 15:04 |
| daftykins | <optician> i hurt my thumb earlier today so hopefully i can still do this | 15:05 |
| daftykins | D: | 15:05 |
| zxmpi | thankfully my hiccups seem to be over :-P | 15:06 |
| zxmpi | last episode of ubuntu podcast on media player. end of an era. | 15:23 |
| daftykins | oh it's ending? | 15:38 |
| zxmpi | tis over now. | 15:38 |
| zxmpi | was a good podcast | 15:38 |
| daftykins | i understood they're quite good for those that commute etc, but it's not a medium that works for me | 15:42 |
| zxmpi | i use them for evening walks to get my 10000 paces of exercise a day | 15:42 |
| zxmpi | not really to be encouraged if cycling in traffic | 15:42 |

| m0nkey_ | Sup folks, I got a Nvidia GPU question.. is there a way to set a power limit on a Nvidia GPU in Ubuntu? For example, I want to limit my GPU to 97% (it's a shitty Gigabyte GPU that runs way too hot if I don't knock it down a notch). | 22:14 |
| daftykins | you tried redoing the paste? | 22:16 |
| m0nkey_ | Yeah, I need to do that. | 22:16 |
| m0nkey_ | Knocking down the power limit drops my idle temps by 10C | 22:17 |
| m0nkey_ | Plus I don't lose any FPS | 22:17 |
| daftykins | i spy 'nvidia-smi' being a thing | 22:17 |
| zxmpi | seems there's a util for windows https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=60006 | 22:17 |
| zxmpi | wow that's 10 years old :-) | 22:17 |
| daftykins | m0nkey_: this any use? https://justin.palpant.us/monitor-and-maximize-nvidia-gpu-performance-on-linux/#sw-power-throttle | 22:18 |

| m0nkey_ | Thanks | 22:34 |
| m0nkey_ | Just preparing for migrating my main workstation to Ubuntu | 22:34 |
| m0nkey_ | Got another box I'm currently testing with. I've verified that MS Flight Sim works.. so super happy about it. | 22:35 |
| daftykins | that's the critical stuff out of the way ;) | 22:35 |
| m0nkey_ | As long as VMware Workstation, most of the games I'm currently playing and MSFS works, that's all I need. | 22:36 |
| zxmpi | last version of that i played was version 4 installed from 5.25" disks on dos 3.3 :-) | 22:36 |
| m0nkey_ | lol, that was the first version I played | 22:36 |
| zxmpi | was pretty impressive for the time | 22:37 |
| daftykins | i wonder if you still have to regularly re-run vmware-config.pl to generate and load modules on each kernel update like in my Uni days, that'd be sad but amusing | 22:39 |
| m0nkey_ | it uses dkms these days | 22:40 |
| daftykins | makes sense :D | 22:40 |
| * daftykins mumbles something about Uni being 16 years ago | 22:40 | |
| zxmpi | when i went to school the computers were commodore 64s. when i went to college they used amstrad pcs with no hard disks and 5.25" drives :-) | 22:41 |
| zxmpi | but we still learned to type on commodore pets as they were more serious computers :-) | 22:41 |
| daftykins | :D | 22:44 |
| zxmpi | and coding was done on a dec mini computer on a proper vt100 terminal | 22:47 |
| zxmpi | i think my oldest phone the nokia e61 is from 2005 or so :-) | 23:03 |
