My next car is going to be a GDLS M1 Abrams main battle tank. It's the only true option for car lovers.

I already use Tubular, and I have been using NewPipe (or the fork Tubular) since the very first alpha.

Grayjay doesn't work well for me since I'm subscribed to over 1000 creators and they force rate limiting over 200, which makes it completely unusable for my usecase.

It might starve the algorithm, but I still get good recommendations on Tubular for the most part, and I haven't used a YT account ever since the first NewPipe alpha released.

I'm hoping storage will become cheap enough that something like PeerTube will be able to grow as much as Lemmy and Mastodon have over the past few years.

The recommendation algorithm (also using a third party app) recommends me tons of niche content. It's how I found most of the creators that I follow.

I follow over 1000 creators on YouTube, many of them niche creators who don't often upload content. There are a very small percentage who are on another platform.

The main app that I use (Tubular) also supports PeerTube, but PeerTube has a big issue when it comes to both content discovery and delivery. YouTube hosts not only the "full" quality video, but they also host many different versions of the same video at varying resolutions/bitrates. This is unfeasable for basically anyone but a big tech company. YouTube also has a very effective (albeit very flawed) recommendation algorithm that smaller platforms struggle to compete against.

I already use those things. My main way of watching YT is with Tubular.

The problem is that there is one, centralized hosting provider with an all-powerful, non-customizable (by the user) recommendation algorithm. That algorithm, like it or not, dictates the type of content that is made on the platform. If there is content that Google doesn't like, they can (and have) very easilly shadowban the content, meaning only people who specifically search for it will see it, if not remove it altogether.

My one holdover is YouTube. There's just no good replacement for it.

As a Linux user, I had to trade in my Nvidia laptop for one with an AMD GPU due to how unstable the Nvidia drivers were and how many problems they were giving me. With the AMD laptop, I have had zero issues.

Holy shit, you said the word woman

I've only tried framegen in one game (The Last of Us remake) and it worked fine. I also have an AMD GPU if that matters.

I think with Nvidia drivers you can get DLSS working and probably framegen too, but I wouldn't know how to set that up. Nvidia compiles both the Linux and Windows drivers using the same codebase.

Also wym by faster? Linux has less overhead than Windows does, even when using Proton, and many games perform better on Linux because of that.

EDIT: There're also a couple of mods available that let you replace DLSS framegen with FSR 3.1 framegen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnXW8CzKYBw

Looking for a DP to HDMI 2.1 that supports 4k120 with Freesync and the various HDR standards. Saw the PS196 was announced some while back, but can't find any converters that implement it.

Anyone know where I can find a converter, or even just the chip itself so I can build my own?

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

Best Debrid service? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I've been using Real Debrid for about a year now, but there're a couple of things making me want to switch.

I like to share my account with a couple of friends. Real Debrid gave me a warning about banning my account if I use it concurrently with someone else.

Real Debrid no longer accepts emails from AnonAddy or Tutanota. I would much rather not have to give out any real contact info.

Looking for a comparable service that caches torrents from anyome who downloads it and provides a link premiumizing service. I would also like to be able to give out direct links for the purposes of using Syncplay.

Whatever I use must be compatible with Torrentio inside of Stremio.
