What are you going to tell me next that Osama bin Laden was also a freedom fighter and 9/11 was justified?
All of you have shit for brains if you think Islamic fundamentalists are progressive freedom fighters while the entire rest of the world is in the wrong.
If you like these groups so much then why don't you go live in the countries they run or ones that are run according to similar ideologies?
9/11 was a false flag dude. Osama literally said he didn't do it on video and later a fat version of him said he did it. Hamas aren't Islamic fundamentalists btw. Literally watch any video from Palestine. Islamic fundamentalists are the ones the US and Israel are backing. ISIS. ISIS-K. Al-quaeda. White helmets. All of them US or Israel funded or backed. Ah and how can I forget about ETIM.
If you like these groups so much then why don’t you go live in the countries they run or ones that are run according to similar ideologies?
The US is destabilizing ALL of them, besides the comprador ones like UAE and Saudi Arabia. I don't think I would mind living in Iran or a non-destabilized Lebanon. Indonesia and Malaysia area also decent places to live if you have money (relatively).

First of all, no one is saying that they are “progressive”—whatever that might mean—and second of all “the entire rest of the world” isn’t “progressive.” This is a bullshit pinkwashing argument. Against the pinkwashing of Israel. If genocide isn’t progressive, then neither the US nor Israel is either.

Are you familiar with the term 'strawman'
They both can be, but Hamas is a terrorist organization that has committed terrorist attacks.
Yeah, according to the US and Israel—which, I cannot stress enough, are terrorist states—Hamas is a terrorist organization, but that does not make it so. Western governments and Western corporate media can designate anyone to be anything, but that doesn’t make it so. They are not the arbiters of truth, they are propagandists for empire.

Nelson Mandela didn't want to turn his country into an Islamic theocracy where women have zero rights other religions aren't allowed and you can be killed for apostacy. He also didn't send savages to rape underage girls and cut fetuses out of pregnant women while they're still alive. Hamas did.
Just because Israel has done some fucked shit doesn't make Hamas and Hezbollah saints just because its enemies. Even the majority of Palestinians don't like or support Hamas so your take is retarded as fuck.
He also didn't send savages to rape underage girls and cut fetuses out of pregnant women while they're still alive.

I'm as jaded as anyone on social media, but I do believe there are Israelis that oppose Netanyahu and his murderous regime.
I understand if the families only care about the hostages, as they have a personal grievance. But I don't believe every Israelite is blind to the horror.
I thought we were talking about the specific protesters this article is about.
To the best of my knowledge, most of the protests—and all of the large ones—in Israel this past year have not been about Palestinian lives or self-determination.
However, there have indeed been a few small Israeli anti-Zionist protests in Israel, despite the risks. Israel’s ‘anti-Zionists’ brave police beatings, smears to demand end to war

Japan’s ruling coalition to lose majority in election, national broadcaster says
Japan’s ruling coalition is certain to lose its majority in parliament in Sunday’s general election, according to the national broadcaster, after taking losses amid voter anger over a funding scandal and a cost of living crisis in the world’s fourth-biggest economy.
The outcome may force the Liberal Democratic party (LDP), which has ruled Japan almost without interruption since the mid-1950s, or the main opposition Constitutional Democratic party (CDP) into power-sharing agreements with other parties to form a government. The official result is not expected until Monday morning.
The LDP’s ability to form a government will depend on whether it can continue as the senior partner in a coalition with Komeito, a much smaller party that was also projected to lose seats. The two parties together need 233 seats to retain a majority.
Ishiba had warned that the LDP had work to do to regain public trust after months of controversy over MPs’ undeclared slush funds. “We want to start afresh as a fair, just and sincere party and seek your mandate,” he told supporters on the eve of the vote.
Ishiba, a former defence minister, became the party’s president – and Japan’s new prime minister – last month after his predecessor, Fumio Kishida, announced he was stepping down to take responsibility for the funding scandal.

Yes I assume this increases many issues.
This might also explain why sometimes the one, sometimes the other app (desktop vs phone) is broken
it's worth noting that no actual security problems have been presented that haven't been dealt with, Sandboxing is available on any distro assuming the tools are made availible. Waydroid supports both apparmor and selinux, please report any security issues and tag the maintainers when doing so.
EDIT: you do need to set apparmor into enforce mode manually though.
Freetube uses Electron. The Flatpak is 240MB in size, the Newpipe + Translation layer is 40MB
It also doesnt bundle an often outdated version of Chromium, as found in Electron
But I tried Newpipe Flatpak and it was blocked totally. May have been because of my VPN though. Freetube had the same issues.
Grayjay is king at block circumvention
Good to know, thanks. If the FreeTube flatpak is working for me, I might as well try the Newpipe one if it's that much better. I guess I just assumed that the translation layer would add CPU overhead.
I'll have to look into Grayjay. Is there a flatpak? I'm on immutable, so flatpak is much preferred.
People who are used to NewPipe can use it
Also this is more of a testament to Android on Linux rather than NewPipe on Linux

The hardware isn't so much of a problem as there are companies who can make or source compatible tablets like the PineTab2 and the PineNote.
It's making the software compatible with a lower power mobile device and learning what needs to fixed.
It would have been much easier to deal with getting a tablet up and running before dealing with getting a mobile device functional.
Making the small steps from laptop to tablet then to phone would have saved them a lot of grief and software mistakes.

From their webpage ... sounds pretty cool:
Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3's features, plus a few extras.Sway allows you to arrange your application windows logically, rather than spatially. Windows are arranged into a grid by default which maximizes the efficiency of your screen and can be quickly manipulated using only the keyboard.

Is there a part you actually care about in particular?
The part where he has been obsessively trying to depose a saintly old man with cancer by misinterpreting stuff he's written and one thing he allegedly (no proof) said in the 80s. Then he posted in the HN thread praising the report and claimed not to have written it, and fled back to mastodon when it was discovered that he did write it. Then he marked everyone's post that questioned him as a death thread.
And that was just Tuesday.

How to find what's eating 100% of just one core?
From time to time, often after I've restored from sleep or finished playing a Steam game, one of my CPU cores is pinned at 100% with no indication of what might be doing it. Running htop, btop, or GNOME system monitor all show the same thing: CPU0 at 100% while the rest are doing near-nothing, and no process in particular seems to be using those resources.
If I restart, it's back to normal, and sometimes I can play a game in Steam or let the computer go to sleep and it doesn't do this, but it happens often enough that's annoying/confusing so I'd like to know if there's a way to either (a) diagnose which processes are using which CPU cores, or (b) somehow "reset" the checking of these values to make sure that something's not just being misreported.
This is a desktop system running Arch & GNOME.

# echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe09It's not clear to me what an interrupt is or whether this
gpe09 value is meant to be persistent across reboots, or why this only seems to be happening in the last couple months, but if I can make it go away by running the above from time to time, I guess it's alright?like this

To me it sounds like your root cause is either a driver problem or your hardware is misbehaving a little bit in a way the driver doesn’t expect, firing a lot of interrupts that shouldn’t normally happen.
If this seems to resolve your issue, I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. I would think my hardware is a little bit weird or there’s a bug somewhere in the driver for it. You can also try different kernel versions if your distribution gives you the option, because kernels come with different versions of drivers.
An interrupt is an input that can be triggered to interrupt normal execution. It is used for e. g. hardware devices to signal the processor something has happened that requires timely processing, so that real-time behavior can be achieved (for variable definitions of real-time). Interrupts can also be triggered by software, and this explanation is a gross oversimplification, but that information is what is most likely relevant and interesting for your case at this point.
The commands you posted will sort the interrupts and output the one with the highest count (via head -1), thereby determining the interrupt that gets triggered the most. It will then disable that interrupt via the user-space interface to the ACPI interrupts.
One of the goals of ACPI is to provide a kind of general hardware abstraction without knowing the particular details about each and every hardware device. This is facilitated by offering (among other things), general purpose events - GPEs. One of these GPEs is being triggered a lot, and the processing of that interrupt is what causes your CPU spikes.
The changes you made will not persist after a reboot.
Since this is handled by kworker, you could try and investigate further via the workqueue tools:
github.com/torvalds/linux/tree…
In general, Linux will detect if excessive GPEs are generated (look for the term "GPE storm" in your kernel log) and stop handling the interrupts by switching to polling. If that happens, or if the interrupts are manually disabled, the system might not react to certain events in a timely manner. What that means for each particular case depends on what the interrupts are being responsible for - hard to tell without additional details.

It's probably Shader compilation. Funny enough the top result of my websearch is my own post/thread in Reddit 4 years ago. I had this exact same question on my old computer: reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comm… Shader compilation is done from time to time in the background while Steam runs. This prepares games to run better.
Look if there is a process called fosselize. That was the process name back then doing the Shader compilation.

since your CPU has 16 threads ("cores" but not really cores, you probably only have 8 of that), if a process uses up all the capacity of a single core, that will have a 100/16 = ~6% cpu usage. In my experience looking for this really works.. at least on windows, please don't hurt me. it should on linux too, but there I don't have it at such a visible place.
this may not work that much though when your system is under a higher load, and the process you're looking for also has a higher CPU usage, like 30% or something.
in this case you'll want to look for the cpu usage of the individual threads of processes with a higher cpu usage. if you have a process which has a thread with 6% cpu usage (in case of a 16 hardware thread cpu), then that process is at fault. by looking at the name of the thread you may even find out what is its purpose.
I have been fighting with this for a long time, do you have an external monitor? I find this happens if I wake from light-sleep (not hibernation) while an external monitor is plugged in.
One of my ACPI interrupts just goes off the charts.
In one of the other comments, we worked out that it was definitely something to do with ACPI, but yes I do have an external monitor. This is a desktop system.
Disabling the interrupt did the job, but I don't know why it's happening. If this is related to the monitor, could this be an Nvidia thing?
Thanks for confirmation. After all, Shaders ARE actually shared; which is a good thing. Maybe for certain games its no longer needed to have Shader pre-compilation enabled. Because games does it themselves or maybe because the download of the compiled shaders from Valve (or collected ones) they come to conclusion the pre-compilation option is no longer needed? It's hard to say if people do not explain their recommendation. It's also not a straight forward and easy thing to test, so people can easily end up with wrong conclusions.
As for the annoying factor, every update requires pre-compilation (if enabled and only those games that need it off course). And if you have lot of games installed, it can be really annoying too.
Just as a PSA, the feature is currently somewhat bugged and really should be avoided. For anything that's not a low-end PC, your machine can handle the compilation during runtime easily and do it much faster.
For low-ends, it compiles so many unnecessary shaders (such as all workshop content that you might not even have), it often takes 10x longer to compile everything (which you have to recompile on every driver or game cache update) than just playing the game and watching a replay first or something.
"Critical" as in not really needed.
It is very bugged and constantly runs even if it isn't doing anything. It will also max out your disk IO for hours at a time with an HDD for larger game storage.
I have had it off for 1.5 years across 3 OS installs and have never had a problem with stuttering or shader related problems in that time. It is really not needed anymore for 95% of games since the Linux async solutions were merged.
Maybe if one uses severely out of date kernels it is critical
If you have a reasonably up to date mesa and use a Proton version with a new enough DXVK, DXVK can utilise Graphics Pipeline Libraries to link shaders just like a d3d11 driver on Windows would, eliminating stutter.
I believe shader precomp is used for some video codec edge cases though, so YMMV depending on the game.

“Get you spot” - typo??
This is pretty neat! The new tech for big screens is unreal.
Now that I think about it, I do remember the organizer sitting down at his iMac, making that graphic, someone approach him and point out the spelling mistake, him fixing it, and then presumably forgetting to save the modified file before handing back my usb drive with more assets for the show.
It's kind of funny how we had 1200 athletes, thousands of staff members and noone pointed out the spelling mistake once it was on the big screen.
Thankfully this graphic was only used to tell the attending guests that pre pre orders are available for the 2025 show during the end of this one.
My memory is a bit foggy as today was a pretty stressful day, and about 500-600mg of caffeine went trough my system during the 12h show...
Edit: i looked at the caffeine contents of the energy drinks I drank. My estimate was 102mg per can, but the flavourful I drank the most had 180mg, and I only drank one can that had 102mg. That puts the total caffeine amount for the 12h period of about 900-1002mg. How the fuck am I still alive?

Did you manage to get Linux to output the native resolution of the screen?
The native resolution of that thing was something along the lines of 1500x1000, but the scaler only accepted 1920x1080, and 1920x1200. Both resolutions had the same top and bottom bars so we assumed something got disconnected during transit, and we didn't bother fixing it as all content was in 16:9 anyways.
For the pictures with hyfetch I just captured the display of the laptop in obs and forwarded it to the big screen as that was more convenient than fiddling with the terminal window on a screen I couldn't see from laptop's position.
Sounds like they had their scaler set up to squash everything. Not the best for content, but the best for accepting whatever people will throw at it. Can't say I'm a fan of not giving you all the pixels you paid for, though!

For the current time only PDF, because epub, cbz are not supported in dflip library, and they tend to have more work to render them.
Epub is a favorite file extension for me, so I will try to add this into the project when I have time.
The main libary I am using is a plugin from dflip which is called jQuery_dflip library; which in fact has a commercial license.
I look into it, when the first issue in the repository have been opened, so Apache license is a good license for this project.

(Solved) Seagate OneTouch Hub compatability with Linux?
I am contemplating buying one of the Seagate OneTouch Hub external hard drives as a backup for my media that's currently stored on some other external hard drives connected to my home server since they are always spinning.
My local retailers don't give me many options as far as large storage storage solution goes, and the only other viable option now is a WD My BOOK 14 TB.
However, the retailer I will be buying it from goes out of its way to state that Windows or macOS is required. Is there any reason I should believe that I will run into troubles under Linux? I've had no issues whatsoever with some other Seagate hard drives (Expansion 5 TB), which I just instantly reformat to ext4 and use as normal. My guess is that this is just for the included software? I just want to make sure before I order.
(More long term I will set up a NAS, but for now time to learn and configure is more scarce than money, so I just want a solution that will prevent me from losing my data)
EDIT: For anyone coming to this later wondering the same thing, I can confirm that it works just fine. It is just the included backup software that is not compatible. I've formatted it to ext4 and currently using rsync to backup my media.
Rather than play the "will this product work on Linux" game I bought an enclosure and made my own. I got an Orico enclosure and put a large HDD into it.
Most enclosures are OS agnostic (but check anyway) and you can put quite large drives in them.

My guess is that they did not want to take credit as the developer of NewPipe itself. As if to say "We did not develop NewPipe, we just packaged it as a Flatpak". There is probably a better way to get that across in the byline, but I believe that is the intent.
