  • GPU artifacting typically means one of the four things, in the order of severity

    1. Cable is fucked
    2. Monitor is fucked
    3. GPU drivers are fucked
    4. GPU itself is fucked.

    To test 1) try changing your refresh rate and resolution to see if the artifacting occurs similarly. If it ceases, change your cable. If one of your monitors displays properly and another monitor artifacts, this is also the main culprit

    To test 2) plug in another device that uses the same port your PC uses. If you see similar artifacting, change your monitor

    To test 3) try booting your PC off of a live USB with any OS. If you don’t see artifacting, you’re gonna need to change your GPU drivers. Refer to your OS’s documentation on that, not me please.

    This step also tests for 4. If you see artifacting, it’s highly likely that your GPU is fucked. Try disconnecting the GPU and use the integrated graphics if that exists, or an old GPU. Use that as a temporary solution until you upgrade your GPU.









  • If you’re from the EU you can file a GDPR request to the site’s admin; otherwise consult your laws for how you can do a data deletion request for best chance of success.

    Note that even if your posts/comments are deleted, some admins might refuse to delete the User ID assigned to your old account to prevent improper federation between instances. (If someone else takes that account, it could create problems there)











  • Another fun fact about North Korea: They have their own Linux Distro by the name Red Star OS, which has its 3.0 version leaked to the Internet, while the newest known version is 4.0.

    My observations while trying out the leaked 3.0 are:

    *It is a fedora derivative,its package manager made me think it’s something close to CentOS 6.3.

    *It’s visuals are really similar to Mac OS. Perhaps the state official behind this project really liked Mac?

    *Every piece of software installed has its credits removed, they have help prompts that refer to them being made in some sort of university.

    *It leaves strange markings to created files. I couldn’t understand what they do exactly, but I assume it could be used to track the computer that made the files.

    *Their browser does not support https, and does not have English support at all.

    *Packages intended for developers aren’t installed by default, doesn’t have a remote repository but instead was intended to be installed with a physical media drive.

    *Just for fun, I tried to request the Linux kernel’s source code that the developers behind used, as it’s licensed by GPL. I was unsuccessful; which means this is the first time a state sponsored software is violating GPL.
