Help needed setting up AMD GPU in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev
[–] traches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

AMD drivers are baked into the kernel, so you shouldn’t have to install anything specific for your card. Steps I’d take:

  • uninstall whatever you didn’t install using your package manager
  • check that mesa and rocm are installed through your package manager

With Linux distros, you install almost everything through a package manager. Downloading an installer from some website does happen very occasionally, but 99% of the time it will be provided by your distro.

Leave the world better than I found it. Raise happy, fulfilled kids who do the same.

Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] traches@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 days ago

I’ve been using caddyserver for awhile and love it. Config is nicely readable and the defaults are very good.

If you already have a public facing server for them to connect to then sure.

Why hard paywalls is not blocked on Lemmy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

The ad-supported internet is awful, and paywalls are sort of the only sane alternative. It’s how news has worked for centuries and we need to go back.

Last nvidia gpus I owned were water-cooled GTX 670s in SLI back when I ran windows. Ever since then I’ve always chosen AMD or intel, because of the in-kernel drivers.

Yeah, I don’t buy nvidia for this exact reason. No amount of performance matters if the drivers are broken

Was the last time you read or heard anything about Wayland 15 years ago?

Best way to keep a hot spare SD card for a raspberry pi? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have a load-bearing raspberry pi on my network - it runs a DNS server, zigbee2mqtt, unifi controller, and a restic rest server. This raspberry pi, as is tradition, boots from a microSD card. As we all know, microSD cards suck a little bit and die pretty often; I've personally had this happen not all that long ago.

I'd like to keep a reasonably up-to-date hot spare ready, so when it does give up the ghost I can just swap them out and move on with my life. I can think of a few ways to accomplish this, but I'm not really sure what's the best:

  • The simplest is probably cron + dd, but I'm worried about filesystem corruption from imaging a running system and could this also wear out the spare card?
  • recreate partition structure, create an fstab with new UUIDs, rsync everything else. Backups are incremental and we won't get filesystem corruption, but we still aren't taking a point-in-time backup which means data files could be inconsistent with each other. (honestly unlikely with the services I'm running.)
  • Migrate to BTRFS or ZFS, send/receive snapshots. This would be annoying to set up because I'd need to switch the rpi's filesystem, but once done I think this might be the best option? We get incremental updates, point-in-time backups, and even rollback on the original card if I want it.

I'm thinking out loud a little bit here, but do y'all have any thoughts? I think I'm leaning towards ZFS or BTRFS.
