Firefox likes breaking itself

The bar that has the address bar, I can’t click, it works for a while, then just randomly stops working. So I can’t even click some extension icons. How many times do I need to restart Firefox a day? Might be time to give up on it, and use Vivaldi. Also, OpenWebRX+ makes Firefox slow, well that is the audio from it lags sometimes, cause Firefox is using an ancient web engine. Probably works flawless in Vivaldi.

Don’t leave OctoPrint open in Firefox overnight, that messes it up too.

So I guess Firefox became the worst browser somehow.

openSUSE package mantainers broke nomacs

[WARNING] [theme] Directory with themes was not found! Report the issue to package maintainer(s). [INFO] [theme] CSS failed to load from: “/var/lib/snapd/desktop/nomacs/Image Lounge/themes/Light-Theme.css”

LOL, that folder doesn’t exist. Just installed with Flatpak, and now it works again. The only image viewer I like in Linux.

No theme, makes it not work correctly, you have to wait or click to load the image, zooming in doesn’t work, going to the next image, and you still have to click it and crap to make it work. Not worth anybody’s time.

I finally investigated the problem properly. There’s a bug report on their Git, somebody using the AUR package, had the same problem.

Legacy Box?

No thanks. If I needed to convert old photos and videos to digital, I’d do it myself. Not hard, and I don’t trust some company with my data. NameCrane has email hosting with file storage, probably better then Mega, I’m just too lazy to cancel Mega and signup for something else.

A better plan, is to use two services.

But there’s really no point, the end times are coming soon, thanks to rich assholes.

Maybe Mullvad exit nodes not so great on Tailscale

SSL errors on my own site. Did the IP get blocked somewhere? No idea, but changing the exit node fixed it. But if you do while playing an online game, you have to restart the game, put me on a different server too, so I didn’t get to play with the same people.

If my host blocked it, I could still access the control panel. I think I’ll blame Bunny CDN. Too lazy to email anybody about it.

Might see if there’s a Tailscale docker image with a proxy in it, so I can use it just for my news downloader, not my entire connection. I don’t use Docker, Podman is better. Uses the same images.

LOL radio person is younger then me, depending on when this aired.

I could always go back to regular Mullvad.

Apple Watch isn't that good anymore

No blood oxygen sensor, and they won’t resolve the issue. Also, they won’t fix the bug that has the wrong time on notifications, so no sound when you get it, because it says it’s from yesterday.

Someday, I might get a Pixel phone and put GrapheneOS on it. If you really want to give Google the finger, buy it from Back Market, Google would get $0 from me, and no spyware on my phone when I put GrapheneOS on it.

The new Pebble watch is better and cheaper. Not available yet, but should be better then an Apple Watch.

Both Apple and Google suck now, they bow down to Trump. Kind of funny Apple did, when they claim to care about the environment, like global warming.

Sucks you need a Pixel phone for that OS basically. Might not live long enough to need a new phone anyways, so no worries.

Stuttering might be gone

Use the Liquorix Kernel instead of the default kernel in openSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s available for other distros too.

Or use CachyOS. Or Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite with CachyOS kernel. There’s no stuttering really on laptop, and got sick of it on desktop, so installed a different kernel.

I think the laptop is still faster though, but maybe because I’m playing at 4k on the desktop. Maybe get a 9060, before Cotton’s bill passes.

Also, laptop doesn’t have much running in the background like desktop. Both have the same amount of RAM, but I think the RAM type is faster or newer on the laptop. CPU is slightly faster. GPU is weaker, it’s in a eGPU enclosure too. Might be using subsampling on laptop too.

Update
Nope, not gone. Stuttering worse then before, all I did was do something on the other monitor with the game open. Now GPU is going under the minimum clock frequency in CoreCTRL. And it’s stuttering like a bitch. Taking forever to exit the game too.

Oh and Firefox crapped out, had to terminate it. Might uninstall this crap, and go back to official openSUSE kernel.

Just removed amd_pstate=active from my /etc/default/grub kernel args. Also removed the set default CPU governor. Was on powersave, but I use gamemode, so it sets it to a higher one. But might mess with whatever that kernel uses, don’t think it uses pstate.

If you look at /proc/cmdline, mine is intel_pstate=disable amd_pstate=disable BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.14.7-lqx1-1-liquorix root=UUID=xxxx splash=silent quiet security=apparmor noresume iommu=pt amd_iommu=on transparent_hugepage=never idle=nomwait processor.max_cstate=5 cpufreq.default_governor=powersave usbcore.autosuspend=-1 amd_pstate=active mitigations=auto, notice before the BOOT_IMAGE, it says amd_pstate=disable. Hmm, maybe I should put that after BOOT_IMAGE. I’ll reboot and see if pstate is still enabled.

Still stutters a little, possibly. Lame. Probably because I’m listening to software radio at the same time. That uses CPU too. But after rebooting, it was more responsive, probably about the same as when I rebooted yesterday, but then slowed down overnight or something.

I think Fedora + CachyOS kernel is better. But I’m too damn lazy to switch distros.

I thought the US had freedom of speech?

Fuck republicans is all I have to say. Fuck Trump too.

I’ll never vote for a republican. I may have in the past, when I just voted for the person on the top of the list, but never again.

Well, they’ll probably murder me anyways. If I have a choice, I’m not coming back to Earth. I can’t imagine another species is as fucked up as republican humans. Well, except for those lizard people that may or may not exist, depends if you believe in the bible or not.

Glad I don’t live in Texas.
