26.9% performance gain over the 7800X3D

wow! did they figure out why?

Their 6T was such a unicorn. I would still have mine if it didn’t get stomped on and drowned at a concert.

I’d suggest using IFME (https://x265.github.io/download.html) it does support MKV.

Due to the nature of video, using another codec will have some differences even if it’s minimal.

But if you encode the video as AV1 with conservative settings it should be possible to reclaim a lot of that space with minimal impact.

Metadata should be retainable but you’ll likely need to experiment.

Their mission is committing to provide “universal access to all knowledge”.

It’s rather depressing that people are attacking such a site. They might have even made a bit of coin if they responsibly reported it.

I’m confused about this.

You can already run third party sourced apps on android so what are they fighting about?

I’m assuming it has something to do with the payment processor?

Surprise surprise when your IT budget is perpetually anemic.

What are your thoughts on the alternative path the article talks about “…zeroconf, mDNS, or DNS-SD advertisements”?

I forgot you could use SSH port redirection. By having them connect to your ssh server. Just understand that you need to configure it in a safe way to avoid someone using the credentials incorrectly.

See the section called “Exposing service running in localhost of a server behind NAT to the internet”

Any luck?

Ah yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a double NAT going on and needs to put the ISP provided modem into bridge mode.

Perhaps change who’s hosting it? Since you’re in IT you probably have a computer capable of it?

Alternatively you could host a wire guard endpoint have them connect to you that way. But configuring that is a pain on Windows.

The problem is most likely on the host’s end. They need to configure port forwarding for the game.

If you’re connecting over the internet confirm you’re connecting to their WAN IP address.

There is a rare edge case that comes to mind. In server.properties look for use-native-transport and try setting it to false on the host.

Alternatively I would suggest checking if you and the host support ipv6 and use that. It’ll help avoid the problems you’re experiencing with NAT.

ERROR Insert Coin

Has anyone seen the anti AI art where people draw 3d shapes in faint lines over the real art.

I can’t find a good example of it

Oh that’s great news.

Twilio has a really cool API that lets you resolve phone numbers to what carrier and if it’s been ported.

Shame to see they got pwned.

Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf Mod for L4D2 is essential.

So many people just open a game and play it, ignoring the settings.

The default controls in StarCraft 2 set you up for failure in custom games. Turning off simple command card and allowing the selection of enemy units helps a ton.

When playing interactive story games like until dawn, try to pick up everything in each room before continuing. Be nice to the animals!

Breath of the wild is more fun if you do the major dungeons in reverse order.

When playing with emulators let the game go through its idle intro card and listen carefully to the sound if it distorts or pops then your game is likely to be unstable try changing more options. Such as enabling interpreter mode for the audio.

When playing Super Mario World, don’t be afraid to explore the stages esp the boo mansions.

When a game offers Vulkan/dx12 mode, try it.

The Nintendo switch allows you to control the MTU of the wifi connection, adjusting this can help in poor connectivity situations.

Changing your DNS to a public provider such as Quad9 can help.

Investigating if you can enable ipv6 on your network can offer you some boons.

Confirming port forwarding is working for your games will help immensely in games that rely on that. (Also resolve any double NAT issues)

Do not attempt to game on a wifi repeater, only sadness follows.

Unless you are playing fallout 3 or New Vegas on era correct hardware there are mods to make it more stable.

Everyone needs to play hat in time.

Yeah my first runs didn’t even go that well.

I’ve been watching people play it on YouTube to get better ideas.

How did your project go today?

Finally I feel motivated.

I’m not sure if I understand your intentions.

Proton is typically used through steam, but steam isn’t going to fly?

Is it being a proton enabled game matter?

L4D2 is still popular, esp on Linux but needs steam.

Beyond All Reason is a foss RTS, similar to StarCraft.

Cataclysm CDDA is a fantastic foss survival RPG. (Single Player)

So I’ve been the person who denies projects like these in the office.

There are two non-negotiable requirements for equipment like this.

1. It absolutely must not in any way interact with outside servers or remote services. All data must stay contained within the company.

2. The software must be open for inspection with a locally reproducible build. Or accredited by a trustworthy provider such as Microsoft.

Failure to meet those requirements and the proposal is dead.
