gnarfaceanyone seen or heard of a fix for cpu core "soft-lockups" on suspend?  might be relevant to AMD motherboards and NVidia video cards, particularly more recent ones like the 1060.06:17
gnarfacehappening on the ascii backport kernel06:18
gnarface(and backport nvidia drivers)06:18
gnarfacecan not reliably be reproduced06:18
gnarfacebut always happens on suspend (maybe 1/5 times or so by current statistics?)06:18
furrywolfmy ascii backport kernel box hangs on suspend about 1/3rd of the time, on an intel laptop with amd video.  lol06:23
gnarfacehmmm.  thanks for the info, furrywolf.  it looks like beowulf is using about the same kernel version so i doubt upgrading is gonna fix that...06:42
gnarfacehmm, although maybe i could just try building something later than 5.x for it...06:43
furrywolfsuspend has always been one of the least-reliable things, yet also one of the hardest to troubleshoot...06:44
gnarfacei've been avoiding dealing with this for my own machines because i just leave them on but now i'm trying to help a windows refugee get full hardware support back06:44
gnarfacesuspend seems to be a sticking point06:44
gnarfacefurrywolf: have you looked into any bios-level mitigations, like disabling "c1e" power saving or stuff like that?06:46
gnarfaceintel might call it something else06:46
furrywolfnot on this box.  I'm not sure it even provides any configurability of such things.06:46
gnarfacethere is a corresponding kernel config param for intel boards, i couldn't find the amd equivalent...06:47
gnarfacei think i saw someone mention setting intel_idle.max_cstate=7 or something like that (in conjunction with a bug that was supposed to have been fixed since 4.15 or 4.17)06:49
furrywolfbbl, wolfy bedtime06:51
gnarfacegoogle really thinks i am interested in ryzen-specific results about this, but it seems to be happening to everyone07:54
gnarface(and this board is actually much older)07:54
gnarfacethanks for the beowulf mini live beta iso.  very timely, very useful.13:14
msiismfsmithred: Question on Refracta releases: Is there any particular reason the checksum file for the images has the ".txt" extension? I mean, this is not necessary, is it?13:39
msiismI'm asking because I'm working on another project and was wondering how checksum files and signatures are best named and organized.13:40
fsmithredmsiism, that's so you can read it online in web browser13:43
msiismOh, good to know.13:44
msiismfsmithred: Thanks.13:45
fsmithredgnarface, maybe intel.pstate?13:45
fsmithredI had to mess with that to get rid of some lockups13:46
fsmithredmsiism, the preferred method is to put the checksums in one file and then sign that file with a detached sig13:48
msiismYeah, I figured.13:50
msiismWith a reasonably modern 'sha256sum', you can then use --ignore-missing to make life easy for yourself.13:52
onefangSecurity isn't meant to be convenient.13:52
fsmithredwhat are you ignoring?13:52
msiismfsmithred: Missing files.13:53
msiismfsmithred: So you don't get a barrage of "this and that is missing", when you verify the checksums.13:54
fsmithredoh, I always read them to compare13:54
msiismI tend to use 'sha256sum -c --ignore-missing <checksum file>'13:54
fsmithredyeah, that's easier.13:55
msiismonefang: That's debatable. The question is, I think: Convenient for which party? Sure, security should make attacks inconvenient.13:56
onefangI was joking around with the usual phrase "trade off between security and convenience".13:57
msiismOk, I missed the joke then… :)13:58
onefangKnew I should have put a smiley after it.  lol13:59
gnarfacefsmithred: yea that's what google told me too, but it's AMD13:59
msiismonefang: I was doing some Lisp execises in parallel. So, my focus was kind of limited.14:00
* yeti looks twice... yay msiism!14:03
yeti_o/14:03
msiismyeti: Hello. :)14:03
msiismyeti: I've had a look at your website recently. Turns out it's pretty stable. ;)14:05
yetiI have a website?14:05
msiismI think so, yes.14:05
yetinah... just some notes... boring stuff for nearly everyone14:06
onefangThe most stable web site is the one that doesn't exist.14:06
msiismyeti: The colors make up for any such shortcomings.14:06
yetiaaah that one14:07
yetithat will fade away14:07
yetithat was from my life before orgmode14:07
yeti:-Þ14:07
msiismI see.14:07
msiismBut it should be archived.14:07
yetieven worse...14:08

yetithe beginings hat a fake CET font14:09
yetithat was later thrown to gitlab14:12
msiismI see. The gitlab version is an improvement.14:15
yetibut it's the dark side too14:16
yetimsgithub, googlegitlab14:16
yeti:-(14:17
msiismYeah, luckly I know somone who runs a server with his own gitlab instance that I can use.14:18
msiismAlso (a bit off-topic, but still): The FSF is going to launch a code hosting platform, IIRC.14:18
yetiI have gitea @home but still on my main notebook14:19
yetitat needs a permanent home on some armish helper14:19
yetisomeday14:19
yetithen it at least will get a public onion address14:19
yetior more14:20
yetiand the old pages will probably merge in an org-brain when it gets a stable exporter14:20

yetididn't help un that microcontrollerfirum14:25
yetithey want to stay mousepushers14:25
yetiand ditch perfectionism14:26
yetiglue your code together and if time is a problem, add doc later14:26
yetiifen if fairli imperfect, it is a seed that'll grow later14:27

yetimore than the old colourful stuff14:28
yetiwhich even repelled some because of the colour14:28

yetimäään... looking at all the typos... need a caffeine soup,14:31

yetihttps://github.com/fniessen/org-html-themes <<< a readthedoc like style14:33
yetiorg in git + that style might be a substitute for doc in a wiki14:34
yetiI think life is easier with orgmode and while I prefer boring layouts now, it can do the opposite too14:35
* msiism has yet to try Emacs14:37
yetiorg/babel is the interesting part and dired and tramp14:40
yetihttp://www.howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-devops.html14:40
yetiit keeps scrips, results and doc in one place...14:41
yetiwithout it these parts tend to diverge14:41
yetilots of uglyness14:42
msiism"howardism" – that's my kind of humor, obviously.14:42
