@cos Wow! Where were you?

@bekopharm Yeah, btop rocks. Did you know that it's a C.rewrote of a Python rewrite of a Bash script?

I'm going to Cape Canaveral to watch this Falcon 9 launch tomorrow 🚀

@living8bit I guess it's hard to measure the effective CPU usage these days, because the clock frequency also changes depending on usage and thermal conditions.

There should be a /sys file to force the cores to run at the maximum frequency, which is good for benchmarks.

Sometimes after an unpleasant work meeting or something they find me as, tired and grumpy, I'm leaving my building. They never fail to make me laugh, and to turn around my mood.

I've never received trinkets from crows, but they've still given me more than I've given them.

I simply added three System Monitor Sensor widgets with transparent background and minor tweaks to the presets for CPU, GPU and Network monitoring.

@living8bit no problem, I'm also curious!

@living8bit Here's what I got with a quick pprof run.

81% of the CPU goes into vicii_cycle(), and 51% in vicii_raster_draw_handler().

This is an optimized build and I have no time to dig more into it, but nothing is pointing at GTK...

I love my #KDE #Plasma System Monitor sensors! 🤩

@living8bit I just launched x64sc, and I see 51-53% CPU usage on a single core of a i7-12700F.

This measurement is taken at the "READY." prompt, PAL mode, no UI scaling, bicubic render filter, v-sync enabled, CRT emulation enabled, etc.

@living8bit You could try compiling it with --enable-sdl2ui to see if it makes a difference.

VICE 3.7 is out with lots of improvements!

#ArchLinux derivatives are for lazy users who won't even learn how to connect to WiFi from the cli :troll:
@freakazoid

@freakazoid Yeah, right! Those stupid derivatives... with their useless installers and desktop environments working out of the box! 😡

@ilwoody Non per Vandenberg, ma è possibile ottenerlo per Cape Canaveral.

@freakazoid Yes, they're mean only towards Arch derivatives 😂

So why couldn't #ArchLinux have both llvm-libs-14 and llvm-libs-15 parallel installed for a smoother migration?

#Debian and derivatives allow parallel installing any lib* packages, and #Fedora sometimes does it out of necessity:

rpm -qa | grep llvm
llvm13-libs-13.0.1-2.fc37.x86_64
llvm14-libs-14.0.5-4.fc37.x86_64
llvm-libs-15.0.6-1.fc37.x86_64
llvm-15.0.6-1.fc37.x86_64
spirv-llvm-translator-15.0.0-2.fc37.x86_64

(zig still uses llvm-libs-13)

@PeterCxy @Kombatant #llvm

A novice PC user came to r/ArchLinux asking what *is* #ArchLinux and what's the purpose of using it over #Windows.

Surprisingly, they got plenty of respectful and helpful answers 😲

I guess some subreddits are more civilized than others...

@ilwoody Per ora è sempre schedulato per il 28 Dicembre (si, ce ne sono due lo stesso giorno):

Ma se piove lo cancellano all'ultimo momento...
