Jitsi is one part of the solution. You need to integrate it into a messenger like matrix + element, and a dial in system / SIP trunk for rough parity. It’s a little resource intensive to self host but well worth doing nonetheless.

make use of the extended warranty once you have the UEFI upgrade in place.

I also want to see RV develop to a point where it can compete with incumbents but sinkclose isn’t a hardware vulnerability. The issue here lies with AGESA, AMD will be moving to OpenSIL hopefully around 2026.

Furthermore, RISC-V is an Open ISA but that doesn’t necessarily mean products based on this remain open.

Unfortunately PSP is required for x86 core initialisation. I’m not sure if this can actually be bypassed.

You’ll want to upgrade your system BIOS when your board vendor makes this fix available.

The link includes ‘CVE-2023-31315’

that’s all well and good, I was just responding to someone who wanted the list of affected products

Isn’t this specific to AGESA rather than the hardware itself?

The article links to this:

RISC-V ISA isn’t magically exempt from vulnerabilities. You can still be hit at a microcode level.

For AMD, I’m wondering if OpenSIL can help prevent similar, deep system firmware vulnerabilities from lingering cross numerous product generations.

On Steam, I use -novid -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json

It does and has done for quite a while now on Wayland. GNOME Presently has experimental support for it but it works well enough in my testing.

To add to this, you can also boot apex in the dx12 mode on Linux (this will switch it from DXVK to VKD3D).

The benefit of this is that the game will generate most shaders at the title screen ahead of time. This greatly improves first play experience at the cost of having to wait a little bit the first time you open the game.

For what it’s worth, s22 in apex seems to have reintroduced an issue with server side connectivity problems that can manifest as acute hitching when close to a large number of other players. You should be able to spot the network icon under these scenarios but it’s not always presented in time.

If you’re talking about overall input responsiveness, I’ve found that VRR on Fedora + GNOME + Wayland has made a world of difference

for the package manager remark, you can get by with the GUI on most popular distros now.

I like using the cli but every now and then I challenge myself to only use GUI and I feel like it works fine on fedora, ubuntu etc.

I particularly like that fedora workstation keeps the system updates/upgrades in the GNOME app store, it feels cohesive and intuitive.

Will check this out thank you for the tip!

o shit I was expecting merch lol

there’s arch socks?

Excellent, may need to pick this up for a few friends.
