since no one said it yet: you can go check your /etc/hosts file if it was tampered with. I'm quite sure your installer just changed a random hosts file inside the wine bottle

PCIe bifurcation (lemy.lol)

Hey y'all, I bought a x4x4x4x4 4 slots M.2 PCIe card foolishly thinking that if it fits in the slot, it would surely work. In the end, I got 2 of the 4 SSDs working on my old AM4 X470 chipset. I'm coming to you for advice what the cheapest way to get to use this would be. I've noticed that a lot of CPUs have a PCIe lane limitation of 28, just short of what I need (I'd like to run the SSDs but also a x16 GPU). I'm not too keen to buy a threadripper setup for this occasion...

Cheers!

HDR Confusion (lemy.lol)

Hey fellas, could you help me understand a bit more about HDR?

I understand that it's an absolute brightness standard, not like the relative levels in SDR
But why does it end up washing out colors unless I amplify them in kwin? Is just the brightness absolute in nits, but not the color?
Why does my screen block the brightness control in HDR mode but not contrast? And why does the contrast increase the brightness of highlights, instead of just split midtones towards brighter and darker shades?
Why is truehdr400 supposed to be better in dark rooms than peak1000 mode?
Why is my average emission capped at 270nits, that seems ridiculously low even for normal SDR screens as comparison.

Cheers 😊
