let’s go for: hello beings

funny thing is how crazy actual flag ratios can get, from oddly narrow 50:41 from Nepal, squares of Switzerland and Vatican City, all the way to Qatar’s 11:28 landing strip of a flag

from all my basic investigations back then, it might be mostly about the part of their drivers that manages power delivery and consumption / power states and so on

it might not help you at all but if you have a chance to run your setup temporarily on Cachy — I would give it a shot — there are some kernel level optimizations and tweaks done there, maybe they figured some work around for that problematic part

no clue if my scenario is anyhow close to your situation but what sounds familiar is the freeze part

while for me it was for a second or so, from time to time, it got really annoying

all started after nvidia drivers got pushed to AUR — so if your GPU is newer than mine, this is where my assumption is wrong…

checked and did everything I could, memory, drives, psu, danced naked under the full moon…

so I switched to CachyOS with guesstimation that the person maintaining the drivers is someone from the Cachy team, they even have their own repo for them… — following that, jumped from my ~3 yo Arch install mostly just having hopes

and everything is fine for now…

so, I don’t want to push you away from the distro of your choosing but, personally, I already learned for myself: until I have anything nvidia in my setup, I have more work to do and more things to check / worry about, always

but… like… so — theoretically — what happens when someone looses miserably at bingo with a perfect score of 0/9? Asking for a friend… of a friend…

solved it:

take a screenshot of the div in question, set it as a background for the body and make it no-repeat, center center… don’t forget to slap some fancy 100vh for the body too…

done! It will even render exactly the same so it is cross-browser ready!

use the option cover and it will work for all screen sizes and resolutions!

add diabolical-laughter-047.mp3 as the unstoppable music loop and like seven useless frameworks for additional style points, ohh and like three font families… just in case… and definitely some analytics from BIG G

— profit.

I invested into those lemmy.zip shares, this is my first comment, fresh start, sure .world will grow but other instances will grow too.

the biggest lesson from all this is administration / moderation burnout is a really big factor and something that needs addressing somehow.
