  • Arc support was added after release to Linux Kernel 6.2 and it’s steadily improved since. Older Linux distros, or “LTS” oriented distros that favour stability may still not have support for them. I know Unraid was very slow to pick up on it and I had to settle for passing the pcie device through to a VM to get it working. Intel is keen to made these viable though, and I love having the AV1 encoder from my A380.


  • That one sounds squarely on Nvidia. Any driver that uses undocumented workarounds to gain kernel level access or utilizes an access loophool for system hooks is a bad driver. I’d assume Debian, or likely more accurately the Linux kernel itself was updated following some matter of CVE that Nvidia was quietly abusing.

    Frustrating, but a good example of why those kinds of proprietary drivers are such a nightmare. You really just don’t know what techniques they’re using.










  • This is probably not what you’re looking for, but I found registering a cheap domain name and using a dynamic DNS script that checks every hour or so against your public IP to be a good way to mitigate issues. It also depends on your ISP. Mine typically only renews upon a reboot of the modem or a new PPPoE authentication.

    Others have also suggested Tailscale, and I think that’s also a worthwhile option. It’s a pretty easy thing to set and forget, working like any oher VPN client. This is the least complex option to navigate, and if Plex was the only service you were forwarding then it’s likely the best option.


  • Better than that, the lack of reliance on spinning disks means that asset duplication and data read order is less of a requirement to reduce load times. It can still be argued that there’s just too many polygons, since simply scaling things back would be plenty effective in reducing storage usage and load times.


  • I use Wayland exclusively, but unfortunately I don’t think I have an answer for you since I’m not entirely familiar with this idea. Is your concern just for the configuration of a universal set of hotkeys configured within the compositor rather than a desktop environment?

    I wasn’t aware that x11 facilitated this. I’d have figured keyboard mappings are abstracted from the compositor and left to the DE to handle, aside from core binds that allow dropping back to tty






  • The company providing this promotion has a set budget that covers the “cost” of the giveaway. Since this is a monthly service, that budgetary constraint is likely just the value of 6 months times the number of people they feel is acceptable to lose money on in the efforts of a marketing campaign… Once that allotment has been used, by way of people redeeming the offer, they end the promotion.

    The people who redeemed the code or whatever credit to their account is still going to get 6 months of that service. There’s no threshold that has to be met in order for everyone to get it.



  • Because you’re serving the website on a non-standard port, you will always need to provide the port in the web browser.

    That said, I don’t see anything wrong here. It looks like you’ve got the right ports set, TCP should be correct. You may not get a ping, because ICMP is likely not enabled at the modem. When you ping, you ping the first device that’s exposed to the internet, not an open server.

    Just to be sure, when you’re on your phone, you’re using data? If you’re on wi-fi, the modem/router may not be configured to perform NAT reflection, so you won’t be able to access anything via your WAN IP.
