How to disable font antialiasing on Firefox

On many distros (in my case mint) firefox does not pick up fontconfig settings when you disable font antialiasing or mess with the hinting. Especially if it's statically linked to its own cairo instead of using the system's version.

This is easily fixed by creating a .fonts.conf file in your home directory that forces the desired hinting and antialiasing values:

cat > ~/.fonts.conf << "EOF"

this has been rewritten yet again as most workarounds aren't required anymore since wine 3+

performance is indistinguishable from windows. there might be a very slight ~25ms sound latency which is easily compensated with +25 local offset

Detecting and dealing with weird file name encodings in zip files on Linux

A friend of mine recently asked me for help on a specific zip file that was supposed to contain a bunch of files with japanese names.

No matter what was used to extract or what the system locale was set to, the file names would end up garbled. We tried unzip and 7z to no avail.

After some googling I found guides that explained that you have to prevent 7z from automatically converting to utf8 by unzipping with LC_ALL=C and

Gain massive GPU performance for Southern Islands AMD GPUs on Linux by removing DPM quirks in the kernel

I recently found out that my r9 270x GPU was not hitting full clock speeds because it was being throttled by the kernel based on old bug reports on DPM stability. This was an easy fix on gentoo where recompiling the kernel is trivial, but on ubuntu and similar, rebuilding the kernel is not so straightforward, so here's a guide based on ubuntu 16.04 LTS. If you run gentoo or know what you're doing you can just skip to the relevant code.

On my r9 270x, this resulted in an overall improvement in frame-rates of up to 50%: Unigine Valley went from something like 30-40 fps average to 55-60 and osu! (running in wine) went from 0.33 ms (~3000fps) to 0.25ms (~4000fps).

Note that I'm no linux god and all this info was pieced together by googling and asking on forums (credits to the guys at phoronix for pointing me to the quirks code).

If you're using the proprietary amdgpu-pro driver, read until the end of the

Setting up ati/radeon acceleration on Sabotage Linux

With the recent addition of mesalib-radeon with gallium radeon drivers, many modern radeon gpu's are now fully supported with 3D acceleration.

Note that, while I have a working system with these radeon drivers, these guidelines are purely written from what I remember doing and are not tested on a clean install. Please report any mistakes or missing steps.
