  • the 1000x before bit has quite a few sideffects to it as well.

    • lesser used languages suffer because there’s not enough training data. this gets annoying quickly when it overrides your static tools and suggests nonsense.
    • larger training sets contain more vulnerabilities as most code is pretty terrible and may just be snippets that someone used once and threw away. owasp has a top 10 for a reason. take input validation for example, if I’m working on parsing a string there’s usually context such as is this trusted data or untrusted? if i don’t have that mental model where I’m thinking about the data i might see generated code and think it looks correct but in reality its extremely nefarious.

    might go through some of those troubleshooting steps and make sure you have drm kernel modeset.

    one other thing you might try (at end of the page) by setting LD_PRELOAD=”” with the command which can at least rule out features that sometimes break on certain games. I’ve had game recording and overlay cause similar issues and could only launch after disabling those in game settings.

    also might not need gamescope? mesa 25.1+ and proton 10+ have a lot of the features built in and I’ve not noticed much if any performance difference. now i only use gamescope if i run into issues and usually only if protondb shows consensus that you need to use gamescope or specific workarounds.







  • tried Razer, Logitech and they just never felt right. got a new zowie (za13-dw) and it felt smoother, good weight and sensors, also no need for extra drivers. they make different shapes for different grips and hand size so you can find what fits. honestly one of the best mice I’ve used, up there with my old mx518





  • caches are never really a concern to me they will regen after the fact, from your description i would worry more about db, this is dependent though in what you’re using and what you are storing. if the concern is having the same system intact then my primary concern would be backing up any config file you have. in cases of failure you mainly want to protect against data loss, if it takes time to regenerate cache/db that’s time well spent for simplicity of actively maintaining your system




  • in Windows you separate each drive by a letter like C:, D:, etc, however on Linux your drives are mounted as part of your folder structure. the top level is called root which would be / you can then mount each disc as a folder under root, so for example /home could be a separate hard drive but it’s still mounted under root, note the starting slash. This means the command deletes any and all files+directories under root, this can include mounted USB, mounted network drives and anything mounted to your root. you’re basically nuking all the files you can access when you’re logged in as admin/root.
