  • What resolution are you running at and what CPU do you have? I have a Ryzen 3900x and an Nvidia 3090 and in the Constellation headquarters, I am seeing around 34fps at 4K. I have to lower the render resolution to 55 to make it more responsive.

  • Are you able to get Wayland working? I tried it and I kept getting kwin_wayland_drm: Atomic modeset commit failed! Cannot allocate memory messages in journalctl.

    EDIT: You have to pass in fbdev=1 to the nvidia_drm module. This will disable simpledrm which was causing the issue. I now have this in my modprobe.d:

     
        
    options nvidia_drm modeset=1 fbdev=1
    
      
  • More and more I am just like "SELF-HOST ALL THE THINGS". I've been setting up Wake-On-Lan and using Steam Remote Play to satisfy my game streaming needs and it's better than GeForce Now in many respects. Plus there's no game limitations.

    I get that it isn't a perfect replacement for those who don't want to drop the insane amounts of cash on a GPU these days though.

  • Yeah seriously. Like I am okay with them auto hiding when the mouse is away, but nowadays, even when you're mousing over them, they're only like 3-4px wide. What kind of a mouse target is that?! Ridiculous.

  • Problem with MVNOs is that they get swallowed up or go defunct. I don't need my data transferring hands nor do I want to deal with switching cellphone plans. I just need it to work.

    They also have terrible options for international data.

  • Could you tell me how to use these arguments?

    Sure thing! Right click on any game in Steam and click Properties. Then in the General tab, you'll see a Launch Options box where you can paste these arguments in.

    What most people get wrong when first trying to use it is not knowing how to correctly specify environment variables vs launch options that get passed to the game executable. If you just want to pass arguments to the game, just paste them into the box. So for example with Cyberpunk, you can just paste in

     
        
    --launcher-skip
    
    
      

    and Steam will launch the game as if you were running

     
        
    Cyberpunk2077.exe --launcher-skip
    
      

    However, if you want to specify environment variables as well, you'll need the %command% placeholder. So, in order to enable raytracing and bypass the driver check for ray reconstruction in Cyberpunk, I paste these launch arguments into the settings:

     
        
    DXVK_NVAPI_DRIVER_VERSION=53799 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 %command% --launcher-skip
    
    
      

    which is like running

     
        
    DXVK_NVAPI_DRIVER_VERSION=53799 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 Cyberpunk2077.exe --launcher-skip
    
    
      

    %command% is just a placeholder for the game's executable path.

    Hope that clears things up with regards to the launch options.

    As far as knowing which environment variables to use, that's on a game-by-game basis, but the two most common ones that I use for Nvidia GPUs are PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 which enables DLSS in games that are not on Proton's NVAPI whitelist, and VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 which enables raytracing. I almost never bother with any other environment variables unless there's special game issues I need to workaround (like Cyberpunk's driver version check), in which case I check ProtonDB or the game's issue tracker on the Proton GitHub page.

  • You can setup a Nextcloud instance in a docker and then enable TOTP for the logins. That way, its a separate thing from what you're personally using, and provides a direct analog to the online services that they use. You can even create multiple accounts for your students and have them try it personally.

    Here's the docker-compose file if you're interested.

  • Their success is well-deserved. I really hope Valve doesn't let the momentum slow down though by working with hardware partners and getting SteamOS onto more devices. That'd make the lack of a Steam Deck 2 in the near-term a lot easier to stomach.

  • A casino is pure gambling, there’s no parallel game attached to it

    What are you talking about? Blackjack, poker, literally any card game...these are all parallel games that accompany the gambling. You can play these games independently of spending money. Casinos just make it pay-to-win by offering bets and larger payout tables for high-rollers, etc.

    It might surprise you, but people understand what CS is.

    Except you because you can't make the distinction between CS and a casino. That's why I am explaining it to you. CS is a competitive shooter first where none of the loot box mechanics affect actual gameplay, which is more than you can say for a majority of F2P games. A casino REQUIRES you to pay money to even engage in it. I don't get what's so hard to understand about this.

    I’m talking about addictive gambling, I’m not talking about selling pay to win advantages.

    Stop moving the goal posts. Your whole point was calling CS a casino, but there's massive differences between the two that you seem to gloss over. Now, if CS offered higher damage weapons, more health, etc. and the only way to get them was via loot boxes, then sure, I'd agree with you, but that's not what CS does. Calling it simply a casino is just being reductive.
