It honestly took me a while to figure out who half that playmobil looking roster is supposed to be.

and a Nvidia 2080ti

Do you know which Nvidia driver you're using currently?

There's an established open-source Nouveau driver that Ubuntu & Mint probably defaulted to, a bleeding-edge open-source NVK driver that is still very early in it's development, and a proprietary Nvidia driver that Nobara probably tried, as it's kinda what you'd want for gaming.

The other question would be if you're using Wayland or X11 underneath your desktop environment?

It should be listed in Settings > System > System Details, under the heading "Windowing System" if you're using GNOME.

Wayland has better multi-monitor support than X11, but the proprietary Nvidia driver has a few teething problems with Wayland at the moment - a new 555 beta driver update should be coming this week with proper fixes for the sync/screen-tearing issues people have been experiencing.

Regardless of what distro you do end up using, the Arch Wiki is a great bookmark to have. The info is like 90% relevant to Linux in general, and at worst you might need to figure out what a file path or package might have changed to in the likes of Ubuntu or Fedora.

Mike Bailey is such a genuinely great talent. He deserves to get his flowers hold all of the championship titles.

New Japan to acquire Bushiroad Fight, the parent company of Stardom ( www.njpw1972.com )

At a meeting of New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s board of directors April 22, it was determined that NJPW will fully acquire all stakes in Bushiroad Fight Co. Ltd. (henceforth “Bushiroad Fight”, due to rename itself STARDOM Co. Ltd. from June 28) from parent company Bushiroad Inc. With this acquisition, Bushiroad Fight will...

Zero Hour

  • Trent Beretta
  • Katsuyori Shibata & Orange Cassidy
  • Bullet Club Gold

Main Card

  • Hook
  • Kyle O’Reily
  • Kazuchika Okada
  • Toni Storm (w/Luther & Mariah May)
  • Adam Copeland, Eddie Kingston & Mark Briscoe
  • The Young Bucks
  • Willow Nightingale (w/Stokely Hathaway)
  • Will Ospreay
  • Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana)

Thoughts

  • I know they’re trying to build STP, but I still think Shibata & OC will win just so they can trade another round of matches between them.
  • I’m assuming Kyle O’Reily wins after surviving heavy Kingdom interference, to establish a Kyle vs Kingdom feud.
  • They ain’t gonna make Okada lose this quick after basically young-lioning a load of enhancement talent.
  • Thunder Rosa 💩
  • House of Black need to take an L against the team of fan favourites.
  • Young Bucks win the match with some cheap bullshit, FTR win Jungle Scapegoat’s heart ❤️
  • Willow wins so she can lose the title to Moné later and mirror their NJPW Strong match. Statlander teases her upcoming turn to Trent’s side.
  • The BillyGOAT does some excellent flippy stuff that’ll get clipped and trend on Xitter.

    Honestly, I’m enjoying Mastodon more because it hasn’t replaced Twitter.

    It’s not full of spam and arseholes, it’s not trying to bruteforce shite takes or adverts into my feed, and I can self-host the whole thing while still interacting with the platform as a whole.

    Good for Giulia, getting that brinks truck contract. Funny seeing everyone be surprised about her signing with WWE though, pretty sure this has been a done deal for a long time.

    I’d still like my Nvidia card to work so I’m happy about this, and when AMD on Linux eventually starts swapping over to explicit sync, I’ll be happy for those users then too.

    Getting cut over questioning flying out of a different airport is rough.

    I can also see the fact that they were given flights to take, asked why it wasn’t from their usual nearby airport because they’d have to drive, then didn’t take the flights and instead just assumed they’d been un-booked for the show because nobody followed up with them?

    I think the issue really lands between themselves making assumptions, and whoever it was they questioned the flights with obviously not communicating with anyone else internally about the Boys looking for another travel option, leading everyone else to assume the Boys no-showed.

    Tony Montana could run AEW and I’d still be thinking The Boys half caused it themselves.

    @EccTM@lemmy.ml avatar

    I wonder if there was a degree of backtracking on Henry getting cut after seeing social media reactions.

    The Boys disputing the reason then deleting it will probably make for some interesting drama too, but honestly they’d have been back in no time at all to manage Dalton if they’d just shut up and wait it out.

    EccTM ,
    @EccTM@lemmy.ml avatar

    I think if the Boys actually had a defense, they wouldn’t have deleted that initial call-out though. They probably can’t dispute the “missing shows” claim, and saying “hey, you told us budget cuts!” doesn’t make you look any more professional - quibbling over why you were dropped doesn’t change the fact you were dropped.

    Separately, if TK had’ve just said “budget cuts, that’s way she goes bud” to the media just the same as he did the Boys, there’d be no issue right now, but he had to treat media as his friends and spill the tea.

    Thom Fain to take over STARDOM's English social media from Sonny Gutierrez. ( twitter.com )

    On the plus side? Sonny was a horrible piece of crap who would block anyone who even so much as asked genuinely innocent questions about Stardom and it’s shows so no longer will people get automatically blocked by the official Stardom Twitter account for no reason (In addition to all the other horrible shit Sonny does)!...

    Endeavor don’t have anything to do with Bloodsport though?

    It’s a (GCW funded?) annual event ran by former UFC Champion Josh Barnett, and it’s basically kayfabe MMA. Shayna Baszler (the one WWE announcement so far) is a former MMA fighter, so it’s right up her alley.

    I don’t blame you, with most of the people I tuned in for slowly becoming All Elite, I’ve been pretty close to cancelling my NJPW World subscription for a while now. As much as I enjoyed seeing Nic Nemeth actually do something for the first time in ages, he doesn’t quite replace Juice, Jay White, Ospreay and Okada.

    Anyone know of a good wiki/knowledge base software that is portable?

    I have a bookstack instance self-hosted and I quick like the program and workflow. I like having ‘books’ of information to separate/organize my information.

    I set up a wiki.js docker container for myself, mainly for keeping track of video game achievement lists in things I’m playing, but I’m probably gonna plop all my docs into it at some stage. It does basically use folder hierarchy, and I have it set to backup to a self-hosted Gitea git repo every 24hrs as well, so I have somewhere to pull all the markdown docs (and their edit history) from if needed, too.

    Nvidia Arch user here, are you just forgetting to rebuild your kernel modules after a kernel or nvidia driver update?

    You can just add a pacman hook that triggers mkinitcpio -P after the linux or nvidia packages are updated. I’ve never had a no-GUI situation from a stray update… maybe one or two that were my own doing when trying to set up UKI’s though.

    EccTM ,
    @EccTM@lemmy.ml avatar

    I’m usually using nvidia-beta drivers from AUR because they’re newer, so I just added the hook as an insurance policy.

    The DKMS drivers are probably the safer option because they’ll handle rebuilding the kernel modules. Even though (like EddyBot said) the kernel and nvidia packages are supposed to get updated together, sometimes you can spam pacman -Syu at the wrong time and only one package is updated and things go wonky…

    According to Google Plasma 6 for Arch was cancelled :D ( beehaw.org )

    I don’t use Google directly, but as part of the open source meta search engine SearXNG, where we can specify what search engines it will use. And the top result is from Google and I can confirm that Plasma 6 for Arch is now officially been canceled. And it’s linked to Reddit. :smiley:...

    @EccTM@lemmy.ml avatar

    I seen a post on mastodon yesterday that said if you’re using google to search for anything, the trick to getting useful results is to include before:2023 and ignore anything newer because it’s probably just AI generated/prioritized BS.

    I don’t think they were entirely wrong in thinking that, tbh.

    EccTM ,
    @EccTM@lemmy.ml avatar

    It’s not gonna stop Google’s internal processes from deciding to pick complete BS results, and you’d definitely be ignoring new genuine content too, but as long as your not looking for results on something time sensitive it would tune out a lot of the AI generated noise out there from the crazy rise in ChatGPT content-farmed articles.

    Rolling back nvidia driver to older version? (Debian 12)

    Is there a good way to roll back the nvidia driver to an older version? I need 470 for my vr headset, as newer versions seem to disable video output to the headset. I have tried some logical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-driver and also some more radical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge “^nvidia-*” but that...

    EccTM ,
    @EccTM@lemmy.ml avatar

    It looks like Debian 12 only provides 525, 390 and a legacy 340 driver, based on the wiki. As @people_are_cute mentioned, Debian 11 has a 470 driver, but that would be a different set of repositories that would probably not work great for you on Debian 12.

    The actual latest Nvidia driver is 550 as of a few days ago, so maybe you could try a manual install of either the latest or 470? I’m not sure if anything like downgrade or frogging-familynvidia-all exists for Debian, I ^sigh^ use Arch Linux^btw^.

    Glorious Eggroll is also behind a database called ULWGL that will get all the game launchers that use his proton (heroic, lutris, bottles…) to use the same game specific patches because at the moment they maintain them independently for the most part. The project seems to be taking off pretty quickly because it’s already formed an organization around it and recentered itself to even be Proton-GE independent if needed.
