Playing modded Witcher 3 through proton. After dying and loading the last save (and perodically while playing) gpu clocks drop such that the framerate is barely above 60 (and very stuttery). Tried enabling framegen, same thing but it drops to 70 ish. It sometimes goes back to normal if I alt tab out and back, but that gets annoying when playing with a controller (especially if it happens in the middle of combat).

I can see the gpu clock dropping and going back up in system monitor. This doesn't happen with any other game. Any advice?

I hate accidentally clicking on that website on search results. What kind of deranged website translates code??? It ignores the browser language setting and translates based on ip, and it keeps happening even if you click turn off translate for this website. Aaaargh

Updated my system today and it started randomly crashing, usually with these messages in journal:

#PF: error_code(0x0011) - permissions violation
#PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0abd540 
kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 1000)

Not sure if the kernel update's causing it. My mouse lags every once in a while too. Anyone else having problems?

Update:
Pinpointed the crash reason, it happens when memory usage exceeds some value. 20 ish gigs maybe? Ran memtest, got 1 pass but I'll leave it running. (Edit: left it for a couple hours, it kept passing) Also tried updating another arch system and filling its memory with stress, but that one didn't crash.

On mine I had a bunch of other packages update as well (mostly qemu stuff iirc, but qemu isn't running usually) and I also uninstalled some unnecessary dependencies listed via pacman -Qtd. I kinda want to restore a btrfs snapshot and be done with it, but that spooks me so I sense unpleasant debugging in my future.

Update 2:
Did more testing, when used RAM+filesystem cache exceeds total ram available it pagefaults instead of emptying the filesystem cache. -_- how tf do I fix this??

Update 3:
Solution is to uninstall binder_linux-dkms. For some reason with the new kernel it causes a pagefault when purging filesystem cache which delays the purge and if that happens while system is under memory pressure programs hang. Didn't even know I had this installed

I've forked an app I use myself to add what I thought would be a (relatively) small fix. I then realised it was sort of left in the middle of a redesign/rewrite caused by dependency updates changing / breaking things and decided I needed to finish that if I wanted to see my code on a release. Along the way I got carried away and now the fork feels too large to pull request.

The changes I made don't meaningfully change the app structure but they required multiple refactorings/rewrites and extrapolation of what the redesign was trying to do.

The original developer is active but haven't committed to the repo in a long time. What should I do? I just want people to use the code I wrote. Do I PR and see what they say? Do I make another branch of its main and try to add my changes in more digestible chunks? Do I change the package name and release a build myself? I don't want to figure out a new name / logo etc, especially since the app is largely the same.

There are issues on the original repo about bugs I fixed. I'd like to point them to my fork, but that feels like shilling an unnecessarily made fork. And it doesn't feel right to drop a huge PR on the dev and expect them to accept it or even reply neither.

What do?

I checked, they are system apps. Apparently I denied it to mtp at some point but it still works? Didn't try the other two. What purpose does listing these in the permission list serve other than cluttering it?

I don't think these core system apps used to show up there, anyone?

Saw this in hexbear memes yesterday. To me it reads as a satire of the holier than thou attitudes I see around here. But it also had no downvotes and nobody was challenging it, so I wonder if it reads differently to you, and how if so.

I tried asking the OP but I was told not to expect discussion in the memes community
