This series adds support for loading and running on top of NVIDIA's GSP-RM firmware, instead of directly programming large portions of the hardware ourselves.

The implementation is a little crude in places, but the goal of this series is to get (more-or-less) GSP-RM support on par with what we already support on HW. Next steps would be to look at what features GSP-RM enables us to more fully support, and clean up the GSP-RM integration once it's known what those will require.

Things should be somewhat faster when running on GSP-RM, as it's able to control GPU clocks, which wasn't possible for us previously.

SVM support is not available when running on top of GSP-RM at this point, due to GPU fault buffers not being implemented yet. This won't effect any real use-case, as SVM is experimental at best in nouveau anyway.

Aside from that, things should more or less work as normal.

GSP-RM support is disabled by default for now (except on Ada, where it's the only option) and can be enabled with nouveau.config=NvGspRm=1.

There'll likely be some nit-picky bugs to sort through, but I don't anticipate any huge disasters. I've smoke-tested this on a selection of GPUs right back to nv50, testing both HW and GSP paths depending on the GPU, and more thoroughly tested on Turing/Ampere/Ada, both discrete and laptop GPUs.

Firmware from NVIDIA is required to enable this support.

For gaming, I've been rocking cheapo Superlux 668b with velour pads for 5 years or so and I'm looking for a bit of an upgrade.

What I like about them is just how wide they are. That's what I was looking for when buying them, it's what I've gotten used to over the years and it's what I still want.
Second to that is comfort. The 668b themselves are pretty bad in this regard but the velour pads are truly transformative here. Comfort is pretty decent with them, so I'd like at least that or (ideally) better. On-ear or shallow pads are out of the question.

What I don't like is how bright and kinda sharp they sound. It kinda gets on my ears after a while. This is what I'd like to upgrade the most but build quality is kinda wonky too.

I had a pair of Sennheiser 660s for a while and while and while I much prefer their sound signature (still a bit odd tbh) and greatly appreciate their comfort and imaging, they just don't do it for me in the sound stage department, so I returned them.

I tried the HD800S at a local HiFi store and they're amazing. Probably my end-game as I didn't like any of the other (supposedly) HiFi headphones they had there (x000€ headphones that rattle when shook and/or have the comfort of a 30€ gaming headset; wtf?).
They're a tad too expensive for me though. They're extremely good but not 10x as good as my 668b, so they fall very flat w.r.t. value, and kinda overkill for my purposes (mainly gaming).

Other headphones I have tried:

• AKG K712: Didn't immediately seem to be a downgrade in sound stage but I don't think I fully liked them. I'll have to re-test them.
• ATH-M40x: Didn't buy them for gaming but they're obviously very tight. While also quite V-Shaped, they're not as "sharp" as the 668b
• HiFiman Ananda: Decent sound stage but terrible material quality (I want to upgrade away from that). Also too expensive for what it is and the bass makes me sick

Other constraints:

• AMP is a MOTU M2. Should be able to power everything that isn't terribly inefficient.
• No wireless.
• Must be reasonably purchasable in Germany

What other headphones do you think are worth checking out?

Most use of my phone's clock app usage is setting 5/7/10/15 min timers for various things and setting alarms to varying times when I need to get going to catch a train or whatever.

I'm looking for a watch that has an easily accessible timer complication so that I don't need to get out my phone to do those things. An alarm complication (alert at absolute time rather than relative) would be nice too but is not required.

I am not looking for a chronograph or diver's watch. Chronographs go up, not down, and don't alarm me when the time is up. That's the most critical feature to me.
Something like a diver's watch could be workable (using a rotating bezel to set the timer/alarm would be great) if they alarmed me when the time was up but that's not how divers work to my knowledge.

I don't need a luxurious watch or anything, a basic one is fine. I actually don't want to spend too much. I'm not looking for "collector pieces", I actually want to wear and use this thing.

Most of what I found online were either chronographs, alarm watches that are not convenient to set (might as well get out my phone if I need to fiddle with it for a minute) or digital watches.

I did find two candidates however:

• Timex Explorer Easy Set Alarm. It was discontinued a decade ago and they don't appear to have been very high quality to begin with, so the remaining ones sadly don't have much life left in them I figure. Also practically unavailable.
• Seiko "dancing hands" watches. They're pretty old (1992) but appear to be rather high quality, so probably okay? I'd still prefer something a bit newer. Feature wise they fit the bill but the timer might be a little hard to set efficiently? Unsure how practical these would be for my use-case.

What do you think? Can you recommend a series or have pointers to look into?

I'm trying to boost a reply to one of my lemmy comments on my mastodon instance. However, that comment does not appear to have been pushed to my fairly small Mastodon instance.
Pasting its url into mastodon does not work; it never finds anything. I tried the URL from my lemmy home instance, the post's/community's home instance and the reply's user's home instance. None of them worked.

The thread itself and my comment appear but none of the other ones.

What gives?

Is there a way around that?

Hi,

btrfs-progs version 6.3.3 have been released. This is a bugfix release.

There are two bug fixes, the rest is CI work, documentation updates and some preparatory work. Due to no other significant changes queued, the release 6.4 will be most likely skipped.

Changelog:

• add btrfs-find-root to btrfs.box
• replace: properly enqueue if there's another replace running
• other:
  • CI updates, more tests enabled, code coverage, badges
  • documentation updates
  • build warning fixes
