Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?

  • There's no uploading involved if that is what you mean.
    But you connect to a public server and when issuing a download command there, it will usually be logged in the chat log in some way.

    So, the server has your IP address, the XDCC bot which sends you the actual file has your IP address, your IP address usually gets (publicly) logged in the chat when connecting to the server/room and sometimes even the file transfers get logged publicly.
    It's not a very private system, but AFAIK nobody has ever gotten in any trouble for downloading from IRC.

  • Can somebody enlighten me on who this is and why I should care?

    • The year of Linux on the desktop is closer. Linux reaches 3% of desktops

  • I still have a Windows 10 gaming machine that gets fired up occasionally to be honest. Originally it was a VM on my Linux system, but I had some issues with cache latency and anti-cheat, so I'd figured I need a dedicated system. Nowadays I game as much as possible on my Steam Deck, though. But I think in a year or two I will switch that Windows system over to Linux as well. Gaming on Linux has gotten that good.

  • Yeah, or just do it properly on your router and be done with it network-wide.

  • Year of the Linux desktop (as my daily driver) has been 2017 for me. Nowadays I dread having to work with Windows.

    • What is a good way to benchmark test a GPU in Linux?

    Jump

  • Sorry, what I really meant was over Proton. So, installing a game like Shadow of the Tomb Raider that have a built-in benchmark and run it via Proton.

    Jump

  • Honestly your best bet is probably to use a game with a built-in benchmark over Steam. That way you get numbers that are somewhat comparable to the ones from public sources (game review sites/videos).
    I don't know why there isn't a proper tool like 3DMark for Linux systems.

    • What is your offsite backup solution?

    Jump

  • It's not really enabled right now, but my offsite backup is a combination of a Raspberry Pi 4B, a QNAP TL-D800C and a Tasmota WiFi power plug at a family member's place.

    I SSH in to the always-on Pi over a VPN connection, send a command to the Tasmota to turn on the QNAP disk shelf, do a zfs send and once it finishes it shuts down the disk shelf again.

    • OpenRGB: Open source, cross-platform RGB lighting control that doesn't depend on manufacturer software

  • I'm using ckb-next for my Corsair peripherals. Every other component in my Linux system either doesn't have RGB or has RGB intentionally disabled in the UEFI.

    • Does Lemmy have an AutoModerator equivalent?

    Jump

  • So all moderation is manual, no automation whatsoever?
