condenser··on Meta Blocks President Lula's Facebook Page, Campaign Ads 2 Weeks from Election
Facebook election interference has been going on for a long time in Europe. It's a two-tier system where parties outside the establishment have a far lower ban-threshold.

condenser··on How to Do Great Work (2023)
There's nothing "cringey" about sharing your own ideas in your own blog. What's cringey is this kind of pointless ankle-biting.
condenser··on I ditched Docker for Podman
I'm interested in using podman for my homeserver because of the deamonless and rootlessnes nature, but I haven't found a convenient replacement for docker compose.

On my dev machine I do `docker compose up -d --build` in the directory of the Dockerfile, and it builds, uploads, and restarts the service on the server. In the podman world you're supposed to use Quadlets, which can be rsynced to the server, but I haven't found something simple for the build-step that doesn't involve an external registry or manually transferring the image.

What's the end-to-end solution for this?

condenser··on AMD RDNA 4 – AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series Graphics Cards
I'm not sure, but I've found a couple of reports at nvidia's linux forum and their github issue tracker. This is with the open source kernel module & wayland. It's possible that X11 with the closed source module works better, but I prefer wayland.

I have both a modern Radeon and Nvidia card in my PC.

Radeon overall offers a smoother desktop experience, and works fine with gaming, including proton-enabled games on Steam. OpenCL via rocm works decent, with some occasional crashes, in Darktable. Support for AI-frameworks like jax is however very lacking, and I spent many days struggling to get it to work well, before giving up and buying a nvidia card. geohot's rants on X are indicative of my experience.

The nvidia card works great for AI-acceleration. However, there is micro-stuttering when using the desktop (gnome shell in my case) which I find extremely annoying. It's a long-known issue related to the power manager.

In the end, I use the nvidia card as a dedicated AI-accelerator and the Radeon for everything else. I think this is the optimal setup for Linux today.
