Any one else getting this crash? Edit: Don't worry guys I fixed it

I've had that happen to me in a couple of pretty obscure cases, fuck it's irritating. "WHAT SECRET KNOWLEDGE DO YOU HOLD, YOU FUCK‽ TELL US"

Or all the documentation/answers conflict with each other so now you have to play Russian Roulette with your project/system. Yes I am still salty about the hyprland nvidia page that kept me up between 2-6am EDT and confused for 13hrs. I trust the Arch and EndeavourOS wikis more for general OS stuff now tbh. For programming I like the specific documentation by the devs of their respective programming languages. If I need help: Google, Discord, Reddit, Forums or StackOverflow

For context go read: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Nvidia/

Me when I was trying to figure out what the outputs in the Javascripts RSA key generation crypto api curruspond to so I can link it to a rust api to prevent Man in the middle attacks occurring on https traffic with false certificates installed (I figured out eventually)

Hah.. I used to search up an issue and see my own unanswered question on reddit as the first result. ಠ_ಠ

I find it more frustrating when someone has already had the issue and received an answer, but unfortunately the solution is a link to a Microsoft forum that no longer exists.

This is currently happening to me and I hate it.

Something between linux kernel 6.2 (working) and 6.7 (broken) and all I have at best is a generic warning message that yields just a few results and all are unrelated.

Git bisect?

Same, started having issue with a docking station on my laptop with 6.7. It's so niche to my configuration that finding an answer has proven impossible. Now I need to reboot every time I plug in my dock or else I have no external monitors.

THAT is very shitty. My problem is that after using it for a bit apps start freezing for a split second all the time. Most notable is firefox. The frequency and duration of them increase steadily. Then opening a new program might freeze the system fully (or wait minutes/hours until it unfreezes). It has something to do with memory allocation "according to" dmesg.

Anime source?

Edit: nvm, found it.

Actual edit: Apparently I'm slow with the joke. K-On! Manga about high school music club.

My favorite is when you Google a problem and many, many people have the same problem but the company has never provided a solution.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

More like when you Google and half the solutions you find contradict themselves, with some of the responses to the solutions discussing the dangers.

So so so much worse when the comment is deleted and OP replies "thanks!"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

OP: "Nevermind, I figured it out on my own. Thanks anyway." and doesn't share what they did drives me up the wall.

I never noticed the body pillow in the corner.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Common misconception, you actually did.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I play the numbers.... When this happens to me I assume I'm asking the wrong question

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

That's actually good advice

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

Sometimes asking the right question is the hard part

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Somebody has to be the first one.

I find if I'm the only one on the internet having a problem unless it's a very specific niche application I'm probably doing something fundamentally wrong in my approach and should try figure out how other people normally do it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

It is usually this for me as well. I'm misunderstanding something or I completely looked over a basic thing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Neiche application like old industrial equipment. Sure 90% of it is well documented and properly sourced. Still there's always that one piece of equipment purchasing got because it was cheap with no documentation and just a safety placard from the 90s. Regardless it needs to be integrated and you bet your ass no one has ever searched that. Then you're back to basics, sometimes even BASIC.
