Yes they are no longer scared of the licensing enough most modern Apple devices do have at least some FLAC support.
Also ALAC is a free and open source codec which also has wide support.
And with a tool like FFMPEG you can easily convert between the two and they are both lossless so there is no data lost in the conversion.
So really just use whichever you like it really doesn’t matter.
Apple made ALAC as an alternative to FLAC due to the dubious licensing around FLAC at the time.
Sunshine captures the screen at whatever its native resolution is, and streams it to Moonlight at whatever resolution is requested by Moonlight.
If you are trying to dynamically change the resolution things are rendered at, thats not going to be easy. Sunshine might not be the right tool.
DLSS is extremely noticeable to me at stronger levels. I usually turn it on but keep it set to “quality” instead of “performance”. It’s still slightly noticeable but not that bad at that setting.
Stronger DLSS just looks like blurry mush to me.
I sometimes use VPN software like LogMeInHamachi or Tailscale to play Minecraft multiplayer with friends over the internet.
Basically it makes your computers act as if they are on the same LAN. It should work for playing any game with LAN multiplayer support over the internet.
I’ve found the unsubscribe links from emails sometimes works, but replying STOP to texts doesn’t seem to ever work.
There are no masked people hunting people on the streets and putting them into vans without plates. Videos about that happening almost every day, especially so in last week are all fakes and Russian propaganda (even when Ukrainian sources write about it).
The source you linked doesn’t support your claims at all.
Some people got arrested relating to not following the law relating to the draft. Yes, that’s terrifying. It’s still not even remotely close to what you are claiming.
Could I run larger LLMs with multiple GPUs? E.g. would 2x3090 be able to run the 48GB models? Would I need NVLink to make it work?
FOSS lightweight ”virtual machine” (it’s not quite a VM but it’s similar conceptually. It’s much lighter on your system than a VM).
Easy to install, setting it up for your use case may take some coding if it isn’t common (bash scripting experience will help).
All I want is to host this on my server and have it download the latest offline installer of my GoG games automatically.
I have a 4k120hz gaming monitor and I have some HDMI cables that don’t support that quality.
I also just use DisplayPort because it’s better anyway (e.g. lower latency).
I like GoG for the idea of getting games DRM free. I buy from them when I can.
But there’s some key features of Steam GoG just can’t compete with:
I bought BG3 on Steam instead of GoG solely to make it easier to play multiplayer with my friends.
And these features of Steam you can take advantage of even if you buy from GoG (but where would we be without Steam?)
Also there’s a much better selection on Steam. But sometimes that’s a bad sign. If a game is present on GoG and Steam, that’s a good sign there isn’t a dedication to shitty DRM, even in the Steam version. If a game is present on Steam only, you have to watch out because that game might be DRM-ridden.
/home is for every program to store its personal junk in hidden files apaprently
Xubuntu is more than fine. Tbh it doesn’t hugely matter which distro you use for this type of thing
Honestly if you buy a Mac give macOS a try. It’s Unix based so you’ll feel at home in the command line. It doesn’t come with a command line package manager but there are two popular ones you can install (homebrew and macports).
Unfortunately it really doesn’t. And it’s actually Linux that’s the bigger problem: whenever it decides to updates GRUB it looks for OSes on all of your drives to make grub entries for them. It also doesn’t necessarily modify the version of grub on the booted drive.
Yes I’m sure there’s a way to manually configure everything perfectly but my goal is a setup where I don’t have to constantly manually fix things.
My experience was that the school provided free Windows keys for a personal computer if you needed one (they didn’t provide the computer itself) but the majority of computers I interacted with on campus (mostly in the computer lab) were Linux (some Debian variant iirc). I think the printing computers in the library were windows. I took an art class at one point and they had Macs (it was for using the Apple’s Final Cut Pro).
We never used LibreOffice though. Everyone just uses Google Drive.
Conceptually this is basically just standard encryption: some math that spits out gibberish unless you have the info to make that gibberish become something useful.
What I want in $HOME are the following directories:
If I’m on a GUI-based environment:
In general:
I’d like everything else to live within something like ~/.local thanks
I think both work since opus is the codec but ogg is the container, but personally I’d probably go with .opus because it’s more descriptive.
Btw Apple’s ALAC and AAC files are typically stored in an mp4 container but with the m4a extension to mark it as intended to be audio only (although it may have a video track, which usually is used for album art).
