They say that they don’t have a minimum speed requirement and the speedtest result doesn’t affect your application. Also considering that they specify that you choose the node geographically closest to you (instead of the lowest latency one) and the only other information in the test is latency, it does sound like they’re either looking for vpns or your location.

IP is quite unreliable when it comes to geolocation, especially if you have a dynamic ip

Their speedtest requirement also seems to be about geolocating you.

Edit: Also would anyone explain why they prefer mp3 to aac and don’t even mention ogg? And what’s the point of uploading both cbr and vbr mp3s? Isn’t it ogg>aac>mp3 vbr>mp3 cbr quality wise?

How is the link file executing malware? Can you put any shell script as the target?

… an html file that loads a video from the api servers. They’re still hosting the videos, no?

Wait so this is an api to… Build piracy streaming websites?? And they claim they’re immune to dmca? Why not just make their own website?

Looks better than I expected

Only upload TV and Radio shows that are PRODUCED IN A COMMONWEALTH COUNTRY or IRELAND. The UK is not included!

Also requires you choose a binary gender on account creation, demands your home ip address, requires you have 0.8+ ratio after downloading 35GB (which sounds impossible due to the limited user pool as a home seeder that doesn’t upload new torrents) or pay. Private trackers are creepy

Edit: it seems most popular shows don’t count towards download but do count towards uploads and that’s how they expect you to maintain ratio

Every update, Wayland breaks

Would you elaborate? If anything 555 and 560 should be more stable on Wayland

I feel silly for not thinking this… It works fine without the mod unless you try to change resolution/fullscreen settings.

Apparently the mod is supposed to disable in-game resolution controls and force it to borderless window at monitor resolution when the flipmodel swapchain is enabled (which is necessary for hdr). It seems to do this by always launching the game in a 720p window and depending on if the custom swapchain is enabled it either resizes it to the screen or applies the in-game resolution setting. Gamescope doesn’t respond to the change and keeps outputting 720p in a 1440p window :/.

I can’t wait for wine wayland

Edit: Just found that using the --force-windows-fullscreen option fixes this issue!!

It’s pretty common for programs to add firewall rules for themselves during setup. If you rely on manually blocking them after the fact they could have called back home already

Or a firewall that doesn’t rely on windows firewall, since programs will just whitelist themselves from it during installation

Resizing the window stops steam glitching, I haven’t tried in full-screen games but maybe it would work

That’s not the flicker I was talking about but I do remember the screen intermittently going black in games for like half a second when the 550 driver first came out. Had to downgrade the driver to get rid of it. Eventually upgraded again and it didn’t happen so I thought it was fixed. Maybe those two or three bugs are related

I remember searching about setting a fan curve on Wayland and iirc the ‘solution’ I had found was running the thing on an x server on a different tty. Didn’t look into overclocking

If you’re on Wayland, nvidia settings doesn’t support it. Although I just checked X too and nvidia settings doesn’t have an options tab there neither. Is there a separate nvidia control panel than the nvidia x server settings?

Happy that you made it! Why didn’t you use archinstall? It would save a lot of trouble

Good luck!

Do you mean that the flicker issue is only present on a few games?

Yes

For most things yes, not for steam (but resizing the window fixes it until next launch).

Edit: Most games don’t have it to begin with, only some do

Is there freesync on x11? I thought it was a Wayland thing Edit: nevermind
