I’ve been getting motion sickness on my smaller monitors.

I have to be using at least 1080p monitors for some reason, I think. My laptop is nice, but it’s only 1600x900, and I plan on upgrading it someday. Ugh. I’m not playing games on them either, just regular computer use. Though FPS-style games like Fallout: New Vegas or whatever, I have to take frequent breaks from regardless of the screen size.

What can I do to deal with this? This sucks!

There’s another possibility of what it could be:

I turned off screen tearing on devices with GPUs that support it, but it’s not possible on my GhostBSD drive on my laptop, which uses X.org (as I refuse to use software made by people who think I shouldn’t exist, and I’m not looking to debate or argue this). My OpenBSD disk in my 1600x900 laptop has screen tearing disabled by default on modesetting, and I don’t have this issue. Maybe it’s a screen tearing problem.

I really like X.org and Xenocara; it supports what I need very well, but X.org hasn’t released a version with the tearfree option enabled by default for modesetting, but Xenocara backported that, which may explain my issue.

Any idea what I can do, #BSD and #OpenBSD friends?

(I don’t want to use Xlibre or Wayland; please don’t suggest those.)

The internet provider with the low download bandwidth, sells us 100 GB for a week {USD 08.00}
The internet provider with the high download and upload bandwidth sells us just 15 GB for a week for a higher price than a former internet provider {USD 08.50}

I cannot last with 15 GB in a week I use 10 gigabytes a day at minimum, which means that I usually have the slow provider

Both providers use 4G Networks, where you get LTE connections from two Towers. When the slow provider is not over booked I reach 56 GB a second down and 48 GB a second up. Both providers use Open Source Operating Systems in their Networks

I love FreeBSD so much more every new day §8-)

Don't let you WPA password sit in plain text in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Use the wpa_passphrase(8) tool to encrypt it and to get the config:

wpa_passphrase yourwifiname yourwifipassword

You get:
network={
ssid="yourwifiname"
#psk="yourwifipassword"

psk=3a1950109e0a6bf36a0bc27171a14e94c6cf36c9d9ecef406b3326122b5db536

Federation's broken on polymaths.social again, how's my #BSD folk doing this fine Sunday? XD

I started off about six days ago deciding to switch from neovim to nvi (clone of original vi), and somehow that snowballed into learning ed XD
(using ed write now to write this toot!)

Here are a bunch of toots from my very first discoveries/explorations until today. XD —

Mehr Hintertüren, gefälligst und die bitte sofort? Dann mögen #KI und #Rust helfen.

Da bin ich beruhigt, #OpenSource zu nutzen: Dort werden Sicherheitslücken zeitnah kommuniziert und #vibecoding ist bei uns ( #Linux, #BSD, #OSS) hart umstritten.

I installed an #OpenBSD on my spare laptop for fun this morning. As expected I need to fw_update to access the slopnet.

In what kind of god forsaken world am I totally unable to find a single RJ-45 cable in my cable-rich home? I had thousands of them but today, I can't find any...

Boy... I've never had a single successful #BSD install because I always trip on the most ridiculous things... I know that pebkac but come on :(
