I use custom ROMs that's a known fact here. Well almost any custom ROM fails safety net. I'm taking a challenge to make safety net pass on my device running AOSP. Wish me luck.

Jeeeeeez im behind. Didnt update GNOME in a while and now its 3.35.1.
Im hit with huge UI changes almost everywhere you look.
OK this is interesting.
I mean its not so huge but you will definetly notice it.

Haxk20 starts saving up for Ryzen 9 3950X.
Intel 9990KS is pretty much dead against 3950X.
Im not even joking. Like WAT ? HOW THE FUCK AMD ????????
TDP is lower. Temps are lower then 3900X and that has 4 lesser cores.
Sacrifice to get there ? NONE.
Its just huge voltage tuning that they did to get there.
Sure Intel still beats AMD in gaming in some games but you have to understand that not many games are optimized for AMD sadly. Many engines are just designed for Intel still.
But im sure this beast of an CPU is about to change that because even games are intel optimized the most FPS drop seen in game is 5FPS from 9990KS. Just WOW.
I really need start saving up as its 750$. Sure a lot for desktop CPU but its fucking 16 core and 32 threads beast at 4.7Ghz.
Sure im AMD fan all the way but you must agree that what they did here is just beyond fucking amazing. And if Intel doesnt go 7nm very soon they are going to be in BIG trouble because AMD is surely just few steps from 5nm at which point intel is just F up.

Well my hacktoberfest Tshirt just got shipped. This is quite sooner then i expected. Last year it was 15 december. So yeah getting it very soon. So hyped.
The design is flawless. Just absolutely amazing.

Server provider provides VPN, VPS, Dedicated etc.
VPN for 1 month thats pretty decent costs 4$ per month.
VPS where i can do whatever the fuck i want.
3$ per month and surely not beast but gets the server job done. So yeah its kind of nice for what it is.

And there are surely more to come.

I guess my radio project which i still fucking work on.
1 year and i still work on it from time to time and its getting better and better each day.
Its mostly what i expected when i began just need app for it to get most of the functions i implemented working with it and well need to buy RTC modules to make it completely working.
I guess a quick talk about what it actually is.
Its an arduino based hardware that can use the radio functions of LoRa radio without the need of gateway and you can send whatever shit you want.
With that you can basically create an emergency device for use in situations where is no signal from mobile carrier and you have no internet connection.
The range should be in about 10+km (Havent tested that yet. Have to test it).
The code is little messy as i tried to implement a lot of shit at once and well didnt get it far.
You may think that this would be bloody amazing chat device. Indeed but well the limitation isnt hardware or software. Heck i can send few hundred messages in 2 minutes i think. The limitation is law and duty cycling. (I dont understand it very well the duty cycling and shit so if anybody has better idea of that crap please explain or even make an issue explaining it on the repo).
So with that.
Its totally opensource.
Here if anybody is interested.

I fix unreal engine to build using clang 10 and just now I find out that I can't use it for my project since well AR needs codeworkers or what shit from nvidia and surprise surprise its not for arch Linux. So I can't do AR. Well sadly I have to use Unity and learn JavaScript. Fuuuuuuckkkk

Unreal engine on Linux is pain to fucking build.
I have issue building it because i have clang 10 and last supported one is 8. Well even arch cant fucking build it. I think i might just create a VM and share the source to it and build it in there and grab the executable

Repasted my laptop because i was having thermal issues. (But thats expected when you are building something pretty much all day.)
And GPU had thermal paste almost dry and CPU well that was for some fucking reason liquid still.
So i got the best thermal paste you can get without going metal.
Kryonaut !
And i will be damned.
It really does the job so much fucking better.
15C drop on gaming. Really good.
This is the way to go.
So if you have nitro 5 AMD ryzen 5 2500U version then repaste it from start as the one there is shit.
Just so much fucking better.

Am i the only one who cant see avatars pictures ?

//Deleted last rant to post this one.
I have script to update kernel and mesa and blah blah. You probably expected that.
What you sure as hell didnt expect is this https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa...
Whats that ?
That my friend is OpenGL 4.6 on AMD GPU if using NIR.
Sure its not merged yet but its fucking there and i love it !
We finally got OGL 4.6 !!!!!

AMD just showed us 50$ CPU. Sure its not amazing but hey 50$.
2c 4t and 3.5Ghz boost
Fuck yeah AMD. GO GO GO GO GO GO GO

Uhmmmmm this is very weird.
As every year i complete hacktoberfest challenge. But this year is weird as i ordered the Tshirt from their store. By the last 2 years i know that to get it even shipped will take 2 months which is fine with me as long as i get it but i didnt get shipping comfirmation this year and letter arrived from DigitalOcean with literally 1 fucking sticker inside it.
WTF is this ?
I sent message to their support to see WTF is going on as i ordered a fucking T-Shirt from their store so i would expect a shirt and not 1 sticker. And not only that but i didnt get shipping info about my order which is normal but when you send something to me i would fucking love to know WTF it is and why.
Did anybody receive 1 sticker from them and then shirt or am i just not getting shirt this year ?

Fuck you people who don't write int in front of function and use implicit declaration to their advantage. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.
They even disable the implicit declaration error. FUCK YOU.

CFS in Linux is the most utter garbage i ever saw. Every fucking other CPU scheduler beats the living shit out of it.
I cant wait for the fucking day it will get replaced by BMQ or MuQSS or just any other modern CPU scheduler.
Tested few games with them.
CFS: 45fps
BMQ: 55-60 fps
This is average of all the games i tried and this is just fucking crazy. We are loosing 5-15 fps in most cases due to fucking CFS.
Sad thing is that BMQ is only on 5.3 kernel sadly and there isnt linux-next version. But im Haxk20. I know C.
So im totally not already fixing the BMQ patch to be compatible with linux-next (TOTALLY NOT).
Next rant coming surely in few hours with big failure or well success

Well crap. The biggest movie and TV serial provider in Czech and Slovakia went down and i have no way of watching TV serials. So what do you use to watch TV serials ? Some site thats updated when new episode comes out would be amazing.
Netflix is shit in this matter and lacks lot of TV serials.

Updated linux-next again.
Got another 2 FPS boost.
AMD is optimizing the shit out of their open-source drivers. And as i see in mailing list we will get BACO on pre-VEGA GPUs. (Bus Active Chip Off) = power saving feature.
Basically means much better battery life for me HEHE.
It got conflicts with linux-next and im not in the mood to fix those just for that.
But anyways AMD is making 5.5 another great release.

I mostly feel like @dfox or @trogus is getting PMs and need them to stop so he asked us.

Silicon Valley 6th series ? FUCK YES.
Sleep ? Not today !

There is always this question. Why the F do you use mesa-git and etc.
Well lets just say they give better performance. Linux 5.4rc4 gives 43fps in outer worlds. Linux-next gives 47 fps in the same exact scene.
This isnt just margin of error as i tested it multiple times. And well 4fps is always welcome just with software update.

//Friends made me do this LOL
Haxk20 guide on using arch as pro.
//TL;DR Fucking read it dammit. I cant explain it in few lines.
Go to AUR.
LLVM-git
mesa-git
lib32-mesa-git
^ are a requirements if you want to have snappy system most of the time.
Do not fucking use AUR helpers. They are shit most of the time and break stuff like LLVM also they are for noobs who cant manage their shit (Really dont use them god dammit)
DO NOT USE PRECOMPILIED VERSIONS OF GIT PACKAGES. NEVER EVER !
Works surely but you can never trust anybody else just yourself (Remember this also for other things. The only person you can truly trust is yourself) Also precompilied shit breaks sometimes.
Run latest commit from mainline. I build every day if i can. If i cant or the mood is not right then once a week is fine.
Update Arch every day. Take care of the system.
I so many times hear Arch is piece of crap and breaks.
No its not. You just cant take care of your god fucking damn system.
If you dont upgrade every day stuff will break and you will be forced to make a force update which is never good (Only if package mantainer says so).
If you cannot take care of the system then arch isnt for you.
And if you still think arch is broken most of the time then see this:
Mesa, llvm, git, linux-next (+ few patches on top of that), xorg, wayland, gnome, firefox-nightly, libdrm and surely many more built from git at least once a week. (kernel and basic stuff built daily mostly) and having testing repos enabled at all times.
The last time i had unbootable GUI was 2 weeks ago and just because i upgraded LLVM without then building mesa. (YES YOU NEED TO DO THAT).
This is beyond bleeding edge as most people say. Yes its crazy but its fucking stable. Whats my point ? that if you say arch is unstable then think of this post and think again before saying. Its stable. You just cant take care of the system.
Restart after kernel update. I cannot say this enough. If you upgrade something low level then either source it. (Most people wont even have clue what that is so then reboot) Or the easiest option. REBOOT.
If you have bug. REPORT IT.
We are in dev community and im suprised most people here wont report bugs.
Are you dumb or what ?
What if your shit had bugs and people wont report them ? They would stay there and frustrate people more and more.
For real. Report bugs you find in kernel or IDK where. Without the report it wont get fixed. And be nice to devs. Dont expect help if you dont provide logs. ALWAYS PROVIDE LOGS.
Also if you run linux then run all AMD system FFS. Nvidia is shit on Linux. The company wont do shit for you. AMD has dedicated devs to opensource drivers. And opensource drivers are on parrity and heck most of the time better then proprietery.
I think thats all.
Sorry but friends made me do it.

There are few things.
1st is for sure the radio communication project im working on slowly but surely. (Making quiet the progress TBH with you).
Still im lacking encryption since the law limits that i can send only few messages per day. Have to do a calculator for that.
Other then that its working really well. Have to get somebody to test the range with me. Im hoping for at least 15km. 30 would be amazing.

And just for fun we are creating a tiny kernel just for fun and main idea here is to learn assembler and low level C. I mean structs properly and all that nasty lovely crap.
(It might be weird but yes Haxk20 doesnt know low level C even after 9 or so years of programming in C)
That is all i think.

Linux 5.3.xx ? NO. TOO OLD
Linux 5.4 rcx ? NO. Better but still not perfect.
Linux Next ? NO. Still not it.
Linux Next + manually merging GPU and other stuff i need manually ? PERFECTION
//Haxk20 issues.

Question about MR. Robot. I seen 3676 used in the series before but I have no clue what they mean by it.
When s04e02 came out there was a link with puzzle obviously and well it spelled out 3676.
Somebody can explain ?

No i totally didnt wipe system on my phone before building it on PC without having a backup. Nooo.
Totally not

Last successful dev project ?
Wait there can be such a project ?
But TBH my last arduino project with LoRa was kind of success.

How many Elite Dangerous players do we have on devRant ? Show yourself commanders !

Got a new panel for my lappy. 120hz 98% sRGB.
The old one was 60 something sRGB. It sucked. and it was 6bit only.
Turned it on for the first time ever and im greated by this very very green acer logo.
I thought that something is wrong. But no.
Actually this is how stuff is supposed to fucking look.
Having color accuracy brings life to some really cool shit.
I just wish it was 400nits but its sadly not. So no HDR for this panel and the pixel refresh time isnt amazing at all but its OK. Could be better for sure.
One thing tho.
120Hz is good enough but you know. Most people go for 144Hz. When i get the time i will OC it if its possible even.

Well i will be damned.
600Mbps/s optic internet coming in few months to my house.
And best ?
20$ per month.
WEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
