Remove Screen Flickering OBS 💻📹

I was recently trying out OBS for my new YouTube Channel ! but faced weird flickering issues when recording, after a lot of tweaking I found the solution.  You have to turn of Vsync on your system. On KDE the steps are as follows: Open System Settings Then go to Display and Monitor section Click on Compositor Here, change Tearing Prevention (vsync) to Never This should do the trick. Try again and you shouldn't face flickering issues anymore.

Sync Forked Repository With Upstream 🔁✔️

Here's the situation, You have forked a repository on GitHub, you have made your changes and sent a pull request and that request has been merged.  Now you want to make further changes, but the repository mentions that you are X commits ahead or/and X commits behind upstream repository. So how do you sync it? You can delete your fork and fork the original repository again, but that is a very tedious thing to do. Here's another way to do this: 1. Clone your fork git clone https://github.com/yourname/repo.git cd yourname/repo 2. Add upstream remote git remote add upstream https://github.com/original-author/repo.git git fetch upstream 3. Ignore all changes in fork and sync with upstream git reset --hard upstream/master git push -f origin master Only do this if you have no changes on your fork that you will like to keep. This will set your fork's master to be the same as upstream's master. Now you are free to make any changes you wish to...

Optimistic Opinion: Microsoft Actually ❤️ Linux?

Any of you who use npm should have received a mail in the last few days and this post is about that. Microsoft has made a lot of progress in between Steve Ballmer's "Linux is a cancer" and Satya Nadella's "Microsoft ♥ Linux" in the Open Source world. Most of what microsoft has been doing recently is very inclusive of OSS. Things from the top of my head include WSL, VS Code, GitHub, Dot Net Core, Powershell and now npm and the list is very long . Although one can argue that Microsoft is doing all this to push it's Azure platform but still getting quality cross platform open source software is always welcome. Hopefully Microsoft will keep the ball rolling in the right direction and we'll hear more good news in the future.
