    Edit: yes, it was Systemd who implemented it.

    Nah, systemd-bsod is different and designed to show info about boot failures:

    systemd-boot screenshot

    It’s rather quite useless.

    drm_panic on the other hand has nothing to do with systemd, and is what’s shown in OPs post. The link can be quite useful for users to post their issues on bug reports or whatever. But if you know what you’re doing, then it’s pretty easy to configure it to print text instead.

    Also remember, the reason drm_panic exists is because graphical outputs would otherwise freeze during a kernel panic, and not show anything useful.





  • Ignore the other guy on this, I have an A770 in my gaming ring and a B60 in my server. The drivers are amazing on Linux, and much better than NVIDIA.

    If all you need is encoding, then VAAPI just works. There are some other caveats with the Alchemist series, which is mostly it was made during the transition to xe, which means you either pick better encoding with i915 (default) or better gaming performance with xe. For your use case I’d leave it with the default i915, though there are encoding patches for xe if you must use the newer driver. Both drivers are mainlined and officially supported by Intel.



  • Regarding Google Coral, from the docs: https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/hardware

    The Coral is no longer recommended for new Frigate installations, except in deployments with particularly low power requirements or hardware incapable of utilizing alternative AI accelerators for object detection. Instead, we suggest using one of the numerous other supported object detectors. Frigate will continue to provide support for the Coral TPU for as long as practicably possible given its still one of the most power-efficient devices for executing object detection models.

    Personally, I’d recommend OpenVINO. It works on iGPUs, and if that’s not possible it’s quite performant on CPUs. I currently run a Google Coral and the Linux driver is no longer officially maintained meaning it breaks every now and then after a kernel update, next time it breaks I’m going with OpenVINO.

    Also, I’d install Docker in an LXC for Frigate, it makes passing the iGPU through to it a lot easier.


  • Ignoring all the scary censorship things, I thought they’d be some sensible exceptions for this:

    Require all website owners to write a risk of harm assessment to the Australian government (the list of required things to say in this assessment is really long)

    But there seems to not be:

    26A Risk assessments

    (1) A person who provides an online service must conduct a written assessment of the risk of harm posed by the service in Australia.

    …

    Then an ‘online service’ is defined as:

    25A Online services

    (1) Each of the following is an online service:

    (a) an internet carriage service;

    (b) a social media service;

    (c) a relevant electronic service;

    (d) a designated internet service;

    (e) a hosting service;

    (f) an internet search engine service;

    (g) an app distribution service;

    …

    Then a ‘designated internet service’ is defined in the Online Safety Act 2021:

    14 Designated internet service

    (1) For the purposes of this Act, designated internet service means:

    (a) a service that allows end-users to access material using an internet carriage service; or

    (b) a service that delivers material to persons having equipment appropriate for receiving that material, where the delivery of the service is by means of an internet carriage service;

    but does not include:

    (c) a social media service; or

    (d) a relevant electronic service; or

    (e) an on-demand program service; or

    (f) a service specified under subsection (2); or

    (g) an exempt service (as defined by subsection (3)).

    (2) The Minister may, by legislative instrument, specify one or more services for the purposes of paragraph (1)(f).

    Exempt services

    (3) For the purposes of this section, a service is an exempt service if none of the material on the service is accessible to, or delivered to, one or more end-users in Australia.

    So yeah, all website owners would need to do annual risk assessments, and keep them for at least 6 years, unless your website is not accessible to Australia.

    Please lmk if I’m wrong.
