  • Absolute best of luck to you! :) We need more diversity in software!

    I hope AcitivityPub or some federation mechanism is being supported. :)

    If you ever want to come on a podcast, Fireside Fedi, let me know. :)

    Also if/when you’re ever needing someone to test the software I’m starting another show called Works On My Machine Live where I install the software and talk to the dev during it.

  • Wow I’m just so surprised. I was there when they were bought out and they kept saying over and over again it’s a separate company. And I always said “for now”. What a shocker.

    Management kept telling us based on the acquisition IBM wasn’t allowed to fully consume Red Hat. Again which I said " for now".

    Oh so surprised … Fuck corporations. I sit have friends at Red Hat and it just keeps getting worse there from what I hear. Quantity is more important than quality.

    If you’re a customer the only way to get a resolution now is demand a phone call as they’re no longer able to deny that and work on the case. They’re just a call center and not real support.

Just putting this here for others to find in the future. Updated to Fedora 42 a few days ago. I don’t use the machine, but my son does and he kept saying it was “crashing”. Looked at random errors saying FFMPEG was crashing. Then Freetube caused the desktop to crash. Then steam. Caught this in the logs:

Jun 10 18:42:19 desktop kernel: [drm] scheduler comp_1.0.1 is not ready, skipping  
Jun 10 18:42:19 desktop kernel: [drm] scheduler comp_1.0.4 is not ready, skipping  
Jun 10 18:42:20 desktop kernel: [drm] scheduler comp_1.0.6 is not ready, skipping  

Then saw this:

Tracked that amdgpu ring uvd timeout to: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU “Flickering and white screens” section.

It recommended checking GPU clock speeds at: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/

Then check what the current clock and memory clock were:

cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_sclk
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk

Sure enough the GPU was clocked to 1196Mhz, but the max clock was 1175Mkhz. I used LACT to change the clock speed and I’m back to a stable system.

  • I don’t know anything about Drupal. I shall look at it. Right now to get up and running I’m thinking of just running a SSG like Pelican. Especially since the Dev is on the Fediverse. :-D

    I know a silly reason to pick it, but I’m a Fedi Lover lol. :-)

    Thank you for the info though. I’ll definitely look more into it. And thank you so much for the very deeply detailed response! :-)

  • I’m not doing a publishing platform really. And I can’t seem to get email going. I’ve tried with MailerSend and while I know I can send email, through swaks, Ghost just won’t. Someone told me it only uses MailGun, which I attempted to set up and after 2 days the DNS verification didn’t go through, even though I konw for a fact it was there. And at this point I really don’t want lock in to a specific service if that’s true.
