move Skyrim mod install from Steam .exe to GOGafter installing correct skse version and address library, updating a handful of mods, things just worknotice performance pretty quickly gets worse, laggy, stutters, and eventually CTDnarrow it down to a memory leak in the GOG .exethere's a mod to fix itThanks modding community#Skyrim #modding #GOG #Steam #MO2 #ModItTillItBreaksThenModItSomeMore

Congrats to the local State Police barracks for the Traeger smoker on the side of the highway that they got to before me

Photo looks like shit, but took my first crack at homemade chicken katsu curry, and it hit the spot. Next time everything needs more color

RE: https://mastodon.social/@publicnewsfeed/116330166845762424There are a lot of arguments to leave/dissolve NATO, but make no mistake: this is because Israel's next target is Turkey, a NATO ally, and blowing up NATO the only way to do that without triggering Article 5.

Switching from #nvidia to #amd GPU today. Hoping I do this drivers switch correctly, and can reconfigure #QEMU without too much hassle :dude_doubt:

Drivers switch went about as well as I could have expected: failed to boot to GUI, then I banged my head against the wall for a while before finding a lingering xorg.conf I swore I'd deleted, then everything just worked!Trying to get #QEMU #KVM VM working today with #SingleGPUPassthrough . The VM itself is already set up, I just need to configure passing the GPU to the guest and installing drivers

Through #WINE and absolute fuckery, I was able to get #SkyrimSE running with #MO2 and run my existing load order. No more messing with #VFIO and #KVM . Only thing that won't work is #ENB — for that I'm testing #CommunityShaders which so far looks good. Not quite as pretty, but far more performant.

PSA for anyone using #QEMU #KVM for #SingleGPUPassthrough Guides are all over the net suggesting hooks scripts invoking pci devices, unloading/loading kernel modules, and other unnecessary things. Here's my current hook script for starting the VM:systemctl stop display-managerThat's it. And the reverse for teardown:systemctl start display-manager#IOMMU groups still apply, and you need to pass the correct PCI devices to your VM, but everything else is handled automatically.Disclaimer that this is how it works currently for my AMD card. I did have a working setup with my NVIDIA card that did unload/load kernel modules, however it seems things have come a long way since I set that up.#virtualization #libvirt #vfio

#handbrake encoding with default #Mesa stack does not utilize GPU acceleration without proprietary amf-amdgpu-pro drivers, which are available in #AUR but look to have been abandoned after AMD stopped publishing their stack, and offer inferior performance in other contexts. #ffmpeg can with #VAAPI but hammering out scripts for the amount of media I'm archiving, that's less than ideal. Could spin up a VM with amf drivers, but setting up with SingleGPUPassthrough seems like overkill/pain in the ass. Any other tools utilizing VAAPI that could make things a little easier?

Had to replace my phone due to a hardware failure, and finally pulled the trigger on flashing with #GrapheneOS So far, it's run flawlessly with all of my apps and my favorite part is it has sane defaults. A lot of things I worked hard to set up manually are just default settings, and all I can say is #feelsgoodman
