> A change queued up last week by AMDGPU driver maintainer Alex Deucher will now default to the fullscreen 3D workload profile for discrete GPUs. AMD APUs with integrated graphics will continue to use the default "bootup" power profile but discrete graphics cards will be running in the "fullscreen 3D" power profile by default.

    That actually is impressive! I like your style. Curious, how long did it take you to get to this point?

    Help with Creating nix-shells
  • captainkangaroo captainkangaroo 4w ago 100%

    What you're doing is equivalent to

    nix-shell -p "grim slurp"
    

    Which won't work because nix-shell expects

    nix-shell -p "grim" "slurp"
    

    Which then becomes

    {...}@args: with import <nixpkgs> args; (pkgs.runCommandCC or pkgs.runCommand) "shell" { buildInputs = [ (grim) (slurp) ]; } ""
    

    According to the manual

    nix-shell --packages interprets each command line arguments as attribute names inside the Nix packages collection.

    The error message is because you are giving multiple package names as a single argument.

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious
  • captainkangaroo captainkangaroo 4w ago 100%

    According to one of the maintainers

    YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

    Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.
