Sauce? I tried searching and couldn’t find anything (at least not on the first page of results). Thanks.


On chromecast I’ve been happy with SmartTube, which includes sponsor block and still allows me to log into YT so I get to keep my history.

In Firefox I’ve just discovered an extension called Lib Redirect, which works for YT, Reddit, Twitter, and other sites. Highly recommend.


Leaked how? No good practice allows any way for a password to “leak”.

Suppose a social media website has a data breach.

What rotating passwords does is ensure people who don’t use a password manager either write their password down more and more frequently, or use a weaker password with some simple changing pattern that doesn’t add anything.

Okay, but suppose I use a password manager like Keepass, then does rotating my passwords not make me any safer in the event a social media website’s data is breached and ends up being sold off on the dark web?


What’s the logic behind this statement? I would’ve thought that if a website’s logins and passwords were somehow leaked, the more often I change my password, the less likely it is for the leaked password to still be usable by bad guys based on the shorter time horizon.


Does it work if you enable VRR via xorg config?

Confirmed VRR is enabled via the xorg config (terminal output below), but I’m still having the issue.

yo_scottie_oh@nobara ~]$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf 
Section "OutputClass"
	Identifier "AMDgpu"
	MatchDriver "amdgpu"
	Driver "amdgpu"
	Option "HotplugDriver" "amdgpu"
EndSection

Section "Device"
     Identifier "AMD"
     Driver "amdgpu"
     Option "VariableRefresh" "true"
EndSection

Oddly enough, I just accidentally discovered that when I Alt+Tab out of the game, the monitor’s refresh rate matches the frame rate in game; however, as soon as I Alt+Tab back in so the game is the active window, the refresh rate goes back to the monitor’s native refresh rate. So in the Xorg session, VRR works sometimes, but not when Steam is the active window. Have you ever seen anything like this before?

Not sure if this video will play, but here’s what I mean. Look at the top left—the slightly larger FPS in the white box is my monitor’s overlay, and the smaller FPS under that is MangoHud. Notice how initially, my monitor’s refresh rate is fixed at 165 Hz, then as soon as I bring up the text document, my monitor’s refresh rate starts varying, and when I Alt+Tab back into the game, my monitor’s refresh rate goes back to fixed at 165 Hz again.

Which xorg driver are/were you using, amdgpu or modesetting?

I think amdgpu—does the terminal output confirm that? This is the first I’ve heard of modesetting.


[HELP] Option for Variable Refresh is gone after installing new graphics card (PowerColor 6750 XT)
**EDIT:** The audio issue on Wayland seems to have magically resolved itself after several reboots, so while I never figured out why the option for VRR disappeared in the Xorg session, I’ve resorted to using Wayland and everything seems to be as it should. **OP:** Howdy. I just installed a new graphics card in my gaming rig, and now the option for Variable Refresh Rate is gone from the Display Settings when I log into a Gnome Xorg session. I swapped out my trusty Vega 64 for a new PowerColor 6750 XT. Before the swap, I always signed into an Xorg session and the option for Variable Refresh Rate was there. After the swap, the option for VRR is there only in Wayland. So why don't I just use Wayland, you ask? The problem is, on Wayland, the audio is distorted and I cannot figure out how to get clear audio. This audio issue seems specific to Steam b/c I can listen to music videos on YouTube crystal clear. So now I have this dilemma where I have to choose between clear audio (Xorg session) vs variable refresh (Wayland). Is this a known thing where Xorg doesn't support VRR for newer graphics cards? Is there some trick for getting clear audio in a Wayland session? Do I need a newer kernel or something? **What I've tried so far:** * I've tried all three DP outs on the new graphics card. * Double checked that VRR is toggled on in my monitor's settings, and I can tell if VRR is working or not by turning on the monitor's FPS overlay. I know it was working in Xorg sessions before I swapped out the Vega 64. * Updated my motherboard to the latest BIOS. * Searched the interwebs for [nobara 38 xorg vrr option gone](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=nobara+38+xorg+vrr+option+gone&ia=web), but alas, not much is coming up. **Display settings in Xorg:** ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/7f033283-fc02-43b4-bed8-c57e6e25a9ed.png) **Display settings in Wayland:** ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/a365db24-b921-416b-bbd3-697b8e425a56.png) **System info:** ``` yo_scottie_oh@nobara ------------ OS: Nobara Linux 38 (Thirty Eight) x86_64 Kernel: 6.5.9-201.fsync.fc38.x86_64 Uptime: 29 mins Packages: 3122 (rpm), 10 (flatpak) Shell: bash 5.2.15 Resolution: 2560x1440 DE: GNOME 44.2 WM: Mutter WM Theme: Adwaita Theme: adw-gtk3-dark [GTK2/3] Icons: Papirus-Dark [GTK2/3] Terminal: gnome-terminal CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (16) @ 3.400GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 6700/6700 XT/6750 XT / 6800M/6850M XT Memory: 4726MiB / 32002MiB ```
