  • Yeah, I have CUDA. I had it working at one point with the Nvidia 550 driver on Studio, but 570 and 580 results in no video. 550 had a few plasma issues (plasma freezing) which is why I didn’t want to use it. I tried rolling back but 550 is no longer an option in software sources on Ubuntu Studio (I keep seeing warnings from people about installing drivers outside of driver management), and it seems like endeavorOS doesn’t use driver management like Studio does so it has me on 580.

    Resolve keeps saying GPU memory is full. Best I can tell it’s a driver specific issue as it did work on 550. I’ve been using Blender instead but would love to get the Resolve issue sorted without having to roll back to 550 and have plasma freeze every hour. I’m hesitant about installing 550 from terminal on endeavorOS as endeavor seems to do things different and I’m new to Linux overall.


  • Just installed endeavorOS from Ubuntu Studio (new Linux user as of about 3 months ago). Do you know if there’s a way to add the packages after install? I thought I selected the nvidia install, but it was using integrated graphics so maybe not, so I did some manual installs with nvidia-inst like --prime. It seems to be using driver 580 now instead of nouveau.

    I was hoping another distro might fix an issue in Studio with DaVinci Resolve not showing video, but the same issue persists in endeavourOS (keeps saying gpu is low on memory). Running from terminal DRI_PRIME=1 to set it on performance mode doesn’t help so I’m wondering if it’s a full on Resolve issue. I’d rather not reinstall endeavourOS and lose everything I’ve done if it’s possible the OS can do some nvidia magic after install.


  • It blew my mind when he announced it. Brand recognition is one of the most important things companies hope for, and Twitter was in it’s own, very select brand recognition club at the top. Tweeting became part of everyday vernacular, in the same way that googling something became synonomous with searching online. It’s a company’s wet dream. No one says “gramming”, “threading”, “facebooking”, etc. Maybe Snapchat has snapping, I’m out of the loop but even I’ve used tweeting/ed in every day conversations.

    That recognition is the stupidest thing to just throw away, especially to replace it with something that can’t replace it from a language perspective. Xing makes no sense in context.


  • Honestly I’m new to Linux from about 3 months ago, so it’s been a bit of a learning curve on top to learning VE haha. I didn’t realize CUDA had versions let alone was anything other than an acronym for using GPU (Nvidia for me) and I now figure CUDA is probably why Davinci Resolve isn’t working right. Kdenlive’s search for GPU over CPU had CUDA versions listed (mines 12.0, it was searching for 12.3,4,5 etc) which made me realize CUDA and Nvidia drivers differ.

    So long story short, no I haven’t checked that beyond looking for how to update CUDA haha. I really appreciate you taking the time, I’ll look into implementing python next. One thing I love about Linux, I’m constantly learning.




  • I’d love to pay someone, or I’d just transcribe it myself if it wouldn’t take so long. I’m new to VE so learning as I go, I do audio and the editing process seems fairly transferable, it’s the barragement of movement and transitions in these that I’m struggling to not spend a week working on it. I’m doing this as a favour so outsourcing isn’t an option. I’ll be checking over the subtitles anyway, generating just saves a bunch of time before a full pass over it.

    I’d rather not have hardcoded subs at all, but these are the “no attention span” style videos for YT (constant zooms, transitions, big subtitles, etc) that I have to mimic. Honestly I hate the style haha, but it is what it is. The style “gets traction” on social media.

    I’m quickly realizing why these videos use AI, it’s a tonne of work without it for very little pay. I was just hoping to use as little of it as possible and trying to avoid going with Descript.

    Anyway, appreciate you taking the time, I got some sub generation working with Kdenlive but it’s looking like I either have to bite the bullet with Descript or just transcribe it myself. The editing for the subs generation looks to be as much work as just transcribing a handful of frames at a time.





  • I smoked for 20 years, 20ish cigs a day on average. For me quitting was all mental, using logic. Every time I tried and failed was the same thing: “I feel like I’m finally ready to quit”, then back at it a few days/weeks later. I was always waiting for the day I was ready for it and kept telling myself that day was coming.

    4 years ago I was finally honest with myself. I’m never going to be ready. I like it too much, that magic day is just never gonna come. That’s when I realized that if I quit, the only way I would quit is when I wasn’t ready for it, and if I quit when I’m not ready, today’s just as good a day as any other. Logically I’d never be any more ready than I was that day, and if I didn’t quit the day I realized that then I never would.

    Haven’t touched a cig in 4 years. Crave it every day though haha.




  • I’ve never heard of infrared glasses, this is probably the most interesting/useful thing on this list for me. Too bad Reflectacles is an American company though. Anyone have any experience with them? I’m willing to give money to US companies under certain circumstances if they do good things, like Signal. If Reflectacles does good work, I’m not opposed to placing an order.




  • Wen you’re accustomed to privilege equality feels like oppression. And that’s just for us regular folk. These people live a life of luxury we’ll never understand, and they never get told ‘no’. So yeah, as dumb as it sounds, when you’ve lived a life getting everything you ever want finding out you can’t have that smoothie can have an effect.

    I’m not saying that first smoothie would be the trigger point, but the idea is lack of access. Cut off the new sewage drainage from billionaire island. Cut off deliveries of any kind. They’re used to lobster and caviar at the snap of a finger. Kraft Dinner will be unacceptable. Lock them in their utopias and see how long they last.

    How long until their smart homes break down and they can’t bring in IT to fix it? These things can absolutely have an effect.
