Wayland does not work properly on Nvidia Hardware: It keeps on getting closer but is not there yet, or so I’ve heard. Apparently, the issue is with the proprietary drivers, as noveau works well. But I use AMD, so I’m only working off rumours and opinions here.
Posting this from Hyprland on NVIDIA, arch (btw) and the nvidia-open-dkms driver, but yes, NVIDIA isn’t fully there yet.
The title seemed quite negative but the article is quite good.
I hope that POSSE is the future but the layperson will not host their own site that serves as their “identity” which makes me feel that at some point we will have “identity management” services which will again centralize part of the web (in a less worse way)
So with the ever increasing news that GameFAQs is getting full fandom’d, I figured I would grab some of the more useful guides for when I want to play a “retro” game or just 100% a LAD. From quick research, it looks like the txt guides are more than covered but the HTML ones are still kind of in a void....
Is HEVC (8-bit)/AAC a good, modern CODEC combination for rebuilding & reducing my library size without compromising quality? Helpful feedback would be appreciated.
Only NVIDIA 3000-series cards and up support hardware AV1 decoding and only 4000-series cards support both hardware AV1 encoding and decoding, so only just about 3 year old cards! source
All Intel ARC cards support both decode and encode, (released October 2022) source
AMD 6000-series cards (November 2020) support AV1 hardware decoding and only 7000-series cards (December 2022) support both hardware AV1 encoding and decoding. source
Sorry for the swabbie question, but I tried to find a film (Saw X in particular) on quite a few different sites and all torrents/streams/downloads had baked in ads for online casinos and the like. Is this just a feature of piracy, or does something change when the film leaves the cinema? I’m not asking for links, so don’t...
The releases with ads are often CAM or TS releases which are recorded at the movie theater with a camera
At least torrentgalaxy marks ad-ridden releases with a small red “ad” label which i filter out with a ublock origin filter torrentgalaxy.to##.fa-adversal:upward(3)
On other sites releases with ads might have the advertisement in the name like XBET
I’m usually not in a hurry to watch the newest movies so i wait for the webrip/dl versions of which the highest seeded versions have an extremely low probability of containing ads
I connected my phone to my laptop and turned on USB tethering and removed all my sims from my phone, but it was still showing upload and download values and some torrents were downloading and uploading.

I have novel data, I have created torrents and seeding. Where do I put these torrents? I just want these data to be free like bald eagle, screeching in sky.
As per title. New releases especially are quite hard to find on other clients or p2p resources; what’s the best way to get them from the source so that I can share them back?
This is where the argument that piracy is also preserving games stands up. Although, it begs the question why games developers do not properly archive their software.
Watch it get found by an employee in a personal backup and then later get fired (like what happened with Toy Story 2) or get into trouble for “inappropriate copying of company property” or something similiar

Does pirating movies that are only in cinemas have a different result to when they are released on disk/streaming services
