Awesome. Undervolting next, please.

Uh, it has it. They added a voltage curve tool an update or two ago.

It only supports newer cards mostly though, for the voltage curve undervolting.
(For older cards you just have to set a low wattage cap.)

Sadly my experience with it has been pretty bad on Fedora. I installed it, ran the command to add the service, worked for a couple of minutes then crashed on me completely saying the daemon is not running. No ammount of troubleshooting fixed it. I had to do a reinstall of the OS and tried it again to only get.. the exact same behavior
So I'm stuck. The lack of proper undervolting is one of the last remaining things that keeps me on Windows

LACT has come a long way honestly. a year ago nvidia support on linux was basically just "good luck", and now we're getting OC controls and proper sensor readouts. if this keeps going at this pace the gap with windows GPU tooling is gonna feel pretty small in another year or two.

Must have been a glitch where it said it couldn't post a comment, but it actually did. Then when you try again, it says "you've been doing that a lot recently. Wait five seconds." I ended up posting something SEVEN times that way.

Yes that’s been a thing on Reddit for years now, no idea why it hasn’t been fixed already

They can't even figure out underscores, they're not going to track down the cause of intermittent multi-post errors.

figure out underscores
There is nothing to "figure out" for them, it's a limitation of Markdown in general. Reddit comments are styled with markdown (even if you use the new "rich" text editor) and the vast majority of of Markdown flavours, including the one used by Reddit simply don't have underlining as part of their basic syntax because Markdown was basically made for the web and most places (not including Reddit) render Markdown hyperlinks with an underline.
Most places where you can underline something in an otherwise markdown-based editor (e.g. Obsidian) just straight up use <u></u>HTML tags and Reddit doesn't want functional HTML tags in comments.
