Yup. I’ve never done anything besides installing NVIDIA drivers. Just switching the cable of the secondary monitor to the motherboard ports and it just worked. No reboot even, just making sure that adaptive sync is enabled in KDE or wherever.

VRR does not work if you have a NVIDIA card and more than one monitor enabled.

I recently learned that’s not entirely correct for Wayland. The critical thing is that VRR stops working if more than one enabled monitor is connected to the NVIDIA GPU. Meaning that if you connect only one display to the NVIDIA GPU and the other monitors to the integrated GPU it should just work.

I felt pretty stupid when I realized that I could’ve just switched a single cable and be using VRR way earlier. Didn’t even need a reboot to work. For reference, I’m using a NVIDIA GPU + AMD CPU with 1 G-Sync as my main monitor and one non-VRR as my secondary monitor.

SimCity 2000 isn’t on ProtonDB because they only list Steam games. It’s on Lutris though with multiple automatic install scripts for different versions, so it should be fairly easy to get running.

In general I’ve had way less trouble getting ancient Windows games to run on modern Linux than on modern Windows.

RPCS3 is indeed excellent, but if you look at their compatibility list about a third of all games aren’t in a playable state. The big exclusive titles people usually set up an emulator for will work for the most part, but outside of that it quickly becomes a lot sketchier.

Or being unable to install third-party apps or other browser engines is supposed to be for security reasons. Or being environment friendly through their recycling program when the truth is that they only do that to keep spare parts out of reach of independent repair shops. Pure gaslighting.

I hate how oddly specific “Moved from Jekyll to Hugo people” is, mostly because that’s exactly what I did as well. I don’t use it to write any blog posts though. It’s more a “Here’s a list of things I’ve created”-generator.

I just got the (first) completionist achievement after 60 hours plus however many I spent on the demo. I might try a few of the challenges and try to win with the final stake at least once, but after that I think I’m done.

It’s an absolutely amazing game and has secured its place in my deck building hall of fame beside Slay the Spire and Wildfrost.

I was going to recommend chairs like these as well. Super comfortable, doesn’t really get dirty, doesn’t get hot in the summer and can be outfitted with a blanket in the winter. Usually not too expensive either.

the time limit should be way longer given how long previous versions of Windows have been supported.

The lifecycle of Win10 is actually pretty similar to that of the previous versions, which is about ~10 years. The only difference with Win10 is that it went without a successor for so long, that they’ve basically skipped one major release, leading to this relatively small timeframe between a new Windows and the EOL of the previous version.

I agree though. Given the circumstances they should’ve made an an exception and increased the lifespan for at least one or two years.

I particularly like that, just like their current Gnome extension, it supports both tiling and floating, with a quick toggle between them.

This’ll be a pretty interesting year for people interested in DEs.

A nice grid lined notebook and a mechanical pencil is still my favorite.

If only my default font wasn’t so bad that it causes data loss.

That looks very interesting, mostly because it’s so different. I’ll have to take a closer look later.

I didn’t mention it, but that’s actually my one (small) gripe with Joplin. It would be neat if I could access my notes with any markdown editor without having to open it through Joplin. That said, I don’t know how I would’ve handled the file structure differently while keeping features like the history alive.

Just tried it for a bit. Looks pretty sleek and has some nice features, but it seems like it’s not open-source, which is something I’d like to avoid.

Same. I’m sitting here with a RTX 3080, so upgrading makes even less sense. I haven’t really encountered many problems, at least on X, but Wayland support is still a mess and I’m really missing VRR, which isn’t really a thing when using a multi-monitor setup on X.

Given how things have been increasingly picking up speed lately I’m hopeful that it’ll only take a few more months until I can say goodbye to X and hello to Wayland and VRR.

i don’t understand how i connect the pc to the domain.

Yeah, that’s the part where I think there’s some misunderstanding. You don’t “connect” the server to your domain. Instead, there is a Nameserver (most run by your registrar, GoDaddy) that hosts a list of DNS records, that you can edit, which point to IPs. So you need to edit those to point to your public IP (or set up stuff like DynDNS if your IP isn’t static) and once that’s doneand the port forwarding is also set up properly in the Fritz!Box you should be able to connect.

That said, what’s wrong with VPN? Particularly if you’re using Wireguard VPN, which was recently added to Fritz!Box, there shouldn’t be any performance differences. Plus, it would be safer than exposing services to the whole internet, doubly so if you’re not a networking expert.

Yup. Ideally there should always some kind of indicator, like a bar, that lets you easily see how many steps there are and which one is selected.

Also: If there are graphics presets available, if there’s one that’s called “highest” or “max” then that should actually crank everything to the highest possible setting.

That’s because EV certs were not only a pretty awful idea in hindsight (A, B), but also because humans aren’t really good at checking the security and trustworthiness of a website (C) in general, which is why browsers have collectively started to stop signalling HTTPS as something to be trusted all together.

Yup. It’s actually quite ironic that this person is advocating to learn how operating systems work, but has seemingly refused to learn the slightest bit about the Windows ecosystem.

The space before punctuation thingy is called “Plenken” in Germany and still sometimes used by people who learned on typewriters. Same thing with repeated spaces or dots… to indicate pauses.

But yeah, pretty unprofessional.
