Atemu | When FPS is <1/2 the refresh rate, the frame gets re-displayed n times which allows VRR with FPS below the minimum refresh rate and has latency benefits | 14:32:19 |
Atemu | This is usually not implemented or poorly implemented, especially when you move the cursor (visible or not) | 14:32:59 |
niklaskorz | oh TIL, thx! | 14:44:47 |
niklaskorz | only mention of that is in this issue: | 14:45:27 |
niklaskorz | https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/issues/1152#issuecomment-2593743026 | 14:45:28 |
niklaskorz |
Cosmic explicitly queries and tracks the lowest possible refresh rate of the display, so we don't run into Low-Framerate-Compensation, which will double the framerate quickly and thus cause flickering.
| 14:45:33 |
Atemu | Oof, that's wrong in many ways; I'll chime in with that info | 15:07:24 |
niklaskorz | on an unrelated note, I'm surprised to see that gamescope session apparently works without issues on Nvidia nowadays | 16:14:50 |
niklaskorz | (at least I did not encounter any in my quick testing just now) | 16:15:06 |
niklaskorz | and that also made me discover opengamepadui because that shows up in the NixOS options when searching for gamescopeSession | 16:16:34 |

clay_pidgin | Anybody hosting a modded Minecraft server? | 01:53:07 |
clay_pidgin | I haven't hosted since before notch sold to Microsoft so I don't know how things work now. See several mod loaders fabric and forge, several servers, not all connect well. Would welcome some tips. | 01:54:04 |
clay_pidgin | I want to Host for my kids and their friends, so I will want a mod to protect the common areas and a way to let them protect their houses/bases. | 03:40:03 |
Charles | Open Parties and Claims is good for that | 03:56:28 |
Charles | Fabric/Quilt are nice because they don't take three hours to launch the game. My very rough understanding is that Quilt is a community focused fork of Fabric so ideally I would use that but it's not as well maintained as Fabric so I just use Fabric | 03:58:26 |
Charles | Would recommend putting together your modpack from stuff only from modrinth because it's the only site for this that doesn't suck | 03:59:15 |
Charles | PrismLauncher can be used to improve the process of making and distributing modpacks | 03:59:57 |
Charles | https://github.com/nothub/mrpack-install then there's this tool which is good for setting up a server from a modpack | 04:07:33 |
clay_pidgin | So I'd run a quilt server with Mods from modrinth made into a mod pack with prism? | 05:06:20 |
clay_pidgin | * So I'd run a fabric server with Mods from modrinth made into a mod pack with prism? | 05:06:38 |
Charles | If you so choose, yes | 09:04:55 |
Charles | You could also pick a premade modpack from modrinth instead of making your own | 09:07:27 |
matejc | Recently i found and deployed with https://github.com/Infinidoge/nix-minecraft on my nixos server, i choose fabric as well, nix-minecraft has even support for loading mods | 19:08:54 |
| 28 Nov 2025 |
Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | To get a little bit more specific, nix-minecraft supports arbitrary symlinks and file copies into the server directory, so it can handle config, mods, etc. so long as you can get Nix to produce the file | 17:47:35 |

woobilicious | Sway forces cursors to redraw every time the cursor moves, it can usually pin your monitor at max Hz usually, so it's probably not the worstt implementation, I actually wrote a patch to rate limit cursor updates that seems to work pretty well | 04:46:21 |

woobilicious | Been seeing this issue for about a week, anyone getting this with Steam? | 04:48:20 |

woobilicious | I've been having a few system crashes when gaming, perhaps some cache files got corrupted...hmm | 05:28:44 |
