Conclusive proof that D is faster than C, 2025

He has a fancy current gen MacBook Pro that he uses for his stuff. Then when it’s lesson time he whips out a windows 95 netbook and a daisy chain of adapters from VGA to thunderbolt.

I mean at that point you gotta admire the tenacity

It’s possible that the lower max speed could be caused by a number of things. First of all, do you have IPv6 enabled? I don’t know about your ISP, but mine has an issue where using IPv6 causes dropped packets on uploads. Disabling IPv6 in the router fixed that for me.

Another possibility is that there could be a slow peering connection between your internet provider and your friend’s, even if it’s the same company, there could be congestion between the specific nodes depending on the time of day.

1,028 movies

517 shows (20,702 episodes)

Shows are all 1080p or lower except a couple seasons of select shows in 4k. Movies are 4k HDR when it’s available, otherwise best quality I can find.

I use Jellyfin because of the client apps and FOSS nature.

I tend to prefer HEVC/h.265 encodings for the strong trade off between player compatibility and smaller size for the quality level, but h264 and AV1 are also both in my library. I don’t reencode anything except through the Jellyfin server transcoding.

I saw the whole thing.

During Ozzy’s set I remarked to my wife, “Y’know, it’s so extremely like Ozzy for him to basically host his own funeral”

Overall that was the vibe. It was an OK festival show with a lot of huge acts sounding like themselves and a few sounding old and washed up (GnR), but Ozzy and Sabbath both sounded like they were supposed to and that’s the important part, because from now on we’ll only ever get cover versions of those songs.

I’m glad they got Bill Ward. The very last Sabbath show should have the full OG lineup. They’ve earned their rest.

This. I use symfonium for my audiobooks. Great app.

They’re usable as adapters and for 2D stuff, but performance is significantly worse for 3D due to being stuck at the minimum clock speed

It fixes issues with games. If the game has no issues with regular Proton then the answer is generally “no”.

In fact, with regular Proton you’re much more likely to have pre-compiled shaders available for your system through Steam, which should improve performance by reducing stuttering.

Got that AMD fine wine technology

I agree with your overall point, as a long time Linux, Windows and Mac poweruser who has shepherded many into a new OS in the past. People who don’t like to explore new/different technologies as a hobby get quite comfortable with whatever they’re used to and the way that it works and then quickly lose empathy for those that are earlier in their journeys.

Just to clarify on the Linus Pop!_OS thing, he didn’t read the prompt that said he was about to uninstall his desktop environment and then typed in “yes I understand this can break my system” or something like that, which had been added as a prompt to keep people from not reading the warning. Anyways people got mad that he did that because he literally ignored the warning and the meaning of the words he had to type that had been added to idiot proof the thing.

ProtonDB is probably a better choice these days for finding tbe compatibility of games specifically.

I’d say Linux (the kernel) is the motor/engine and Mint (the distro) is the chassis. The chassis defines the shape of the vehicle and its size class, for instance.

The one I’ve had the longest is 4 years old. So far so good. They have lower heat output than they otherwise would due to lower friction. Other than that they’re quite ordinary drives in terms of use.

I buy 14TB enterprise helium-filled HDDs off serverpartdeals for like $140 a pop. 4TB for $100 is a bad deal

I’ve seen some folks complain about its size, but it’s like 8 or 9gb. Small price to pay if you ask me for how turnkey it is. Besides storage is cheap now.

Especially when you consider Windows is like 20-30GB

Meh, I’ve found that Heroic works just fine for most offline installers. YMMV of course.

I have the Retrofighters BattlerGC Pro, this is the Playstation layout equivalent:

Hall effect sticks, Bluetooth support, 2.4ghz dongle, excellent buttons. The BattlerGC Pro is the best controller I’ve ever owned. If this Playstation style controller is even close to as good you won’t be disappointed.

Edit: they also have this mini controller, and this one is currently available, whereas that more deluxe one is a pre-order shipping in January.

Donating would not help unless you’re a dev willing to donate your time to develop the client
