Are you using Wayland? You need to set a couple module parameters if you haven’t

Nvidia proprietary 555.58.02, X, 6.11 here. I can tell you that it works in general.

Not true, Arch and Ubuntu (the ones I personally checked on) already pushed patches that disabled cups browsed by default, removing the service listening on 631.

You probably don’t need a local Firewall

If the computer never leaves the house, maybe. If it’s ever on public Wi-Fi though, default deny inbound at a bare minimum. Linux computers with cups installed and running but no firewall were revealed yesterday to be vulnerable to RCE.

This is great:

What if my experimental protocol is approaching the 3 month removal period but I am missing ACKs due to reviewer inactivity?

Contributors engaging in good faith protocol development should not be penalized due to reviewer inactivity. It is advised that experimental protocol authors post memes to the base MR until reviewers become active.

What if an experimental protocol author posts memes to the MR for many months rather than furthering development?

It is expected that protocol authors are seriously attempting to reach staging/ status. If it is determined by members that this is not the case for a given experimental protocol after a three month period has elapsed, the one week removal notice may be invoked regardless of how good the memes may be.

I have a couple Xbox controllers. Wired they work fine. If you use Bluetooth it really depends on the Bluetooth chip and I’ve had some really bad ones. Also certain models will require firmware updates from Windows before they will pair.

Handbrake uses avx512 and zen5 significantly improved on avx512

The list does change and mirrors do degrade. I once ran in to an issue where my chosen mirror was now incomplete and causing problems.

Every boot or every day is overkill though imo. I do weekly.

What hardware? And can you narrow down when during updates?

I had this problem on Arch on a 5 year old Lenovo laptop with an Nvidia 1660ti GPU. With judicious use of set -x I narrowed it down to systemd daemon-reload.

I actually changed my ext4 journal mode and added a pacman hook in that calls sync before any systemd hooks ran, after the second time half of the package updates got lost due to the freeze.

Because the problem only happened most times, and usually not soon after a reboot, I can’t prove it, but the problem hasn’t reoccurred since I switched the Nvidia driver to the open flavor.

I wouldn’t recommend watching it,

So why are you giving him views by prominently linking it? It looks like you’re just bringing the rage bait here.

You can still torrent without forwarding a port, for example by only making outgoing connections. But that may limit your speed, and figuring out forwarding should help.

Ludusavi does it all for you, works great, and the dev implemented my feature request within a few weeks (handling a mounted Windows drive better)

Have you set your system to prefer it in gai.conf?

You said enforce in the post, but prefer in a comment. Do you mean prefer ipv6, or disable ipv4?

I was happy with my cyber powers for years, but then the batteries died (official replacement batteries, after 3 years - the originals lasted 5) and the ups just stopped even passing power through. This is someone’s old blog about this https://blog.networkprofile.org/cyberpower-ups-avoid/
