Uluganda OP ,

In my case, it basically helps me improve random read significantly. My NVMe is fast, like 3GB/s in sequential and 500MB/s in random, but it’s only 120GB. By using it as a cache in a bcache system, once a random read is performed, the data will be copied from HDD to SSD and if the data is requested again the random read will happen from SSD instead of HDD.

Thus, using it to play modern gaming is actually do able. Game that requires fast random read, like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield.

As a lot of people in my og post mentioned, random is more important that sequential. Bcache by default disable sequential cache so you wont fill you cache to fast if a big data is being read, like watching movie, copying video, etc. That’s where Raid0 comes to the rescue. Having Raid0 with 2 drives basically double my sequential read and having 3 triples it.

Uluganda OP ,

For bcache, it is available in apt, I think. You just need to set the ppa. For bcachefs, I think you need to wait for 6.7 to land on Debian or compile it yourself.

Uluganda OP ,

I’m using btrfs so I can add more drive on the fly. Saving myself from a headache. But I think bcachefs will make it infinitely easier.

The securest VPN is the one that you can control. I’ve been using OpenClash on my router, and if anything ever happen, I can just destroy the droplet on my VPS server.

Asking for torrent ports and IP, or Clash rule of those.

I’m using OpenClash in my router to make shit version of Tor network. I’m using 4 different VPSs to access the internet. It is wonderfull to be able to tell which connection go through what site, or using all of those VPSs to access the internet simultaneously using load-balance method....

Uluganda OP ,

It is. I believe it’s one of the best thing I install on my homeserver. All my family members are now using VPN, and have their tracker and ad blocked. Since I’m the one who managed the VPS, I can just destroy all the data in it in case anything went wrong.

So, can I open only one port on my torrent app and have all the incoming connections go through it? That’s neat. Clash supports port redirection, and I think I’ll use that feature. I will give you update.

I found this anime-trackers project on github, but it doesnt help, lol.

Looking for the simplest means of playing videos from a USB storage device on a non-smart TV

Having already configured a VLC-powered Google TV configuration with USB hard drives for a relative without the router or download speed needed for reliable streaming, I’m now trying to configure a similar setup for another relative with a non-smart TV and an even slower download speed....

Uluganda ,

I dont know if these devices are available worldwide, but we, Indonesian, have 2 cheap devices exactly for that. ZTE B860H V5 and HG680FJ. It’s like $10 without remote, and another $1 for the remote.

It came locked by one of our ISP, but you can easily unlock it and put anything you want in it. Linux, OpenWRT, or just regular Android TV. ROM choices are limitless.

Uluganda ,

It’s a actually pretty capable device tho. It has s905x2 processor which is on par or better than RPi4.

Uluganda OP ,

Modern (post DS2) From Software games tend to run flawlessly on Linux. They are one of the greatest developers now. No bullshit, just greatness all around.

I heard a lot of BG3, although I dont have any doubt that it is a great game, I dont think it suits my taste. Battlebit tho, I’ll check that otu.

Uluganda OP ,

Latest kernel (hence driver), mostly. For most people Linux Mint is great distro that mostly works out of the box. However, for gaming, Linux Mint is one of the weakest since they tend to ship old kernel.

We have to understand that gaming in Linux is in very active development right now. Having out of date kernel can make you unable to use some device, or having less performace than those with latest kernel.

Hovewe, if you are happy with Linux Mint and see no problem, it’s okay to stay. It has great community and the developers are awesome.

Uluganda OP ,

I hate to admit I had to do it with Nioh Complete Edition. I dont know but my store downloaded copy just refused to load. When it did, it had 15fps for a while and then crashed. Meanwhile, when I played the pirated version, it worked good. It stuttered for the first 20 minutes, but once all the caches were built it worked amazingly. Bummer I cant use the online feature.

Uluganda ,

Just another library.

It’s in Tor, and I’m impressed with all of the academic books they hold.

Will OnlyOffice run on 2GB Raspberry equivalent server using Docker on OpenWRT?

I know it’s odd, but I have this Chinese setup box with S905x processor, 2GB of RAM, and 500GB of USB Storage. I love it. Really really love it. I unlocked it and It runs OpenWRT with Docker installed and I wonder whether or not this board can be my OnlyOffice server. Thanks.

Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...

Uluganda ,

I don’t know what average people could do to break their system, considering nowadays, it is practically impossible to break anything if you are using Software Management tool your Distro gave. I don’t say I don’t believe you. Something could break. But I suppose you are trying to do something that average Joes would not attempt.

I installed Linux on my coworkers, friends and families, and nothing break. Heck, I even gave my friend Arch Linux. I told them to only install thing from the Store and never touch command line without talking to me first. It’s been 6 months.

Linux for average people is been there. It’s ready. OnlyOffice is just like Ms. Office but Open Source. If you are willing to learn, LibreOffice is far better than Ms. Office. Linux supports all browser. KdenLive and Krita work better in Linux. GNOME is way easier to navigate than Windows, with superior gesture and beauty Windows could only dream of.

Windows has its perk, but saying Linux is hard is no longer true.

Uluganda ,

Are you using the driver supported by your distro? I’m not Nvidia user, but I have fair share of installing Nvidia drivers on Linux. As long as you don’t stray from driver the distro gave you, I never have problem. Literally not once.

And if you are trying to install AMD or Intel proprietary driver. Why? Just…, why?

Uluganda ,

For the last two, it will more than enough. Gaming tho, it depends. If you wants emulator, Linux is THE emulator OS. For Windows game tho, if you are planning to play older game, Linux is better than Windows. Period. For newer games, like ‘just-release-game’, it is not ideal. Free to play multiplayer games, especially outside of Steam/Valve, forget it.
