  • watchdog error, sleep and lockscreen freezing, and stable under some load tells me either the cpu isn’t getting enough voltage if it’s manually oc’d, or there’s some bios or os powersaving thing malfunctioning.

    reset bios settings, especially if you’ve done any overclocking. turn off any core boost or other variable core clock powersaving amd/intel specific ‘features’; these are almost always unstable in my experience.

    if that doesn’t work, double check all power cables are properly seated in both mobo/component side and psu side if it’s modular. make sure ram is seated properly. if you’re on windows make sure you’re on high performance mode. i can’t think of much else to check without more info. good luck!


  • i use revolution (selamectin) from the vet and it’s like a fucking flea nuke. if you’re getting it soon i wouldn’t worry about fleas getting in the house because once you use this stuff it’ll clear all of them out of the area in literally hours. fantastic stuff.

    also, don’t trust any over the counter flea sprays or treatments at stores, they all use neurotoxins that they claim is safe for cats, but some cats are more sensitive and it might cause neurological damage or even death.







  • nvidia only very recently opened up their drivers to open source dev, so the open source drivers available right now are still based on reverse engineering and they don’t work super great. there are proprietary drivers from nvidia but they are not easy to install and configure and popos handles that for you on install.


  • sounds like your problem is likely a combo of trying bare arch and also an nvidia card. i’d recommend Pop!OS as i hear it’s the best out of the box experience for nvidia owners, and if you want to stay arch based i’d try EndeavourOS as it’s arguably the most mature and stable arch based distro today, it’s what i use but i also have amd not nvidia so i can’t speak for the nvidia experience for endeavour. maybe you want to wait a while before you try again just so you’re not burning out on the frustration, too. good luck!


  • got death stranding when it was free for a day on epic a while ago, been playing it for the last few weeks pretty nonstop and just finished the story. i’ve always been a kojima fan for mgs but oh my god this is magnificent. an absolute masterpiece, imho. i get it’s not for everyone but i’ve had a blast and may immediately do a very hard offline second playthrough. definitely recommend, especially if you can grab it free or heavy discount.
