Playing pirated video games on Linux
  • Make sure your ancient laptop has vulkan support, if it doesn't you can't use dxvk or vkd3d and have to use the directx->opengl wrapper in wine (wined3d), performance will not be good with it and you'd probably be better off with windows.

  • Undervolting in linux
  • Undervolting Nvidia is not possible at the moment on Linux, for overclocking green with envy should work like the other poster said. Be sure to read up on setting Coolbits to unlock overclocking for Nvidia: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Enabling_overclocking

  • What Torrenting program do you use?
  • qbittorrent-qt5, the default qt6 toolkit version looks a bit out of place with my Plasma theme.

  • Boost für Lemmy ist in Arbeit!
  • Tildes ist eine klasse Ergänzung zu Lemmy, keine image posts keine memes, eher ausgelegt auf ernsthafte Diskussionen. Die Seite funktioniert super im Browser aber freue mich schon drauf RiF zu testen.

  • Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts
  • Most of the time you can just click the 3 dots at the side of the search result and then click the "Cached" button on the bottom of the popup.

  • Tearing protocol merged for XWayland. Wayland gets closer to being suitable for gaming purposes
  • I'm on KDE and setting software cursor via KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 fixed that for me in games like PoE where the cursor began to lag heavily if there are fps drops from like 144 to 90. If you need hardware cursor KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1 should also help.

  • Is Usenet an option for /Piracy?
  • You'll find bits and pieces, but many indexers (and their uploaders) heavily obfuscate and password their stuff. You'll never find it with nzbking or binsearch or manually downloading headers in a newsreader like it was common 15-20 years ago. Pretty much like a private torrent tracker.

  • Don't delete your Reddit account
  • They probably can be switched to scraping instead of api, will be slower but should be ok if you massdeleted everything already and just do like a daily/weekly cleanup of a few comments.

  • What was your first PC game ever, and how did you react to it?
  • Stunts on the PC of my rich buddy, the graphics plus building tracks and then racing them blew my mind. Also Winter Games was fucking great, loved that ski jumping. I only had played some games on robotrons in school and on an old sinclair zx81 before.

  • Updated: Reddit is quietly restoring deleted AND overwritten posts and comments
  • I've been using this for the last few years and letting it run once a month via cronjob:
    https://github.com/jdbassa/Shreddit
    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-shreddit-git

    I'm sure there are other and probably newer scripts out there, though.
