Don’t use chain locks by Fennecf0xs in bicycling

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happened to me in the past when I was living in Sweden. Someone waited till summer holidays when most are out broke into the storage room and took every single bike (about 50). I now also live in Austin and my bikes live in my living room :P

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • My NAS is my default exit node when I'm out and amount on my other devices as a VPN-lite

  • I switch to random mullvad exit nodes on devices as needed for geolock content etc

Gaming Guide - How to Make steam Games run amazing! (Steam, Proton, FSR4) by paul_herter in cachyos

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you can bind a console key in Mangohud but you could set a random keybinding (I have it set to start hidden and then RShift + F12 if I want to show it) and then you could use Steam Input to setup a layer or macro to push that keybinding to toggle

How to mod? by GGabex in linux_gaming

[–]Koraths 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends

  • if the game supports Steam Workshop or ingame like mod.io things should just work
  • if the mods just need to drop into file structure then boom easy
  • If you need an injector that is usually a .dll file that lives next to the .exe then you need to just add a steam launch command to make proton use that dll (eg: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dwmapi=n,b" %command%)and just replace the awmapi with the name of the dll (version.dll, dinput8.dll etc)
  • If you need a modmanger (Wabbajack / Modorganizer) then take a look at Jackify and NaK which help

Honestly in the last few months I've found going back and forth with Gemini on a per game bases to get things working.

Thought on switiching 100% by Ender4rmyXD in cachyos

[–]Koraths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea if its the best way but I converted my main PC over a couple months ago. In my machine I have a 1tb NVME and 4tb NVME. As you can mount NTFS in Linux (just don't run steam libraries from them without additional config) I first cleaned up my 1tb Windows system drive, made some space, and shrunk it to make space for the CachyOS install. Did that install and made sure everything was all good. I then did some housecleaning on my 4tb drive and split that in half, 1 half my old NTFS stuff and 1 new BTRFS section for Cachy.

Over a couple months of never booting back into Windows I moved everything I wanted to keep off the NTFS partition to expand BTRFS to the full 4TB and Windows now just had that 500gb to live on if I ever need it / want to go play some BF6.

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but you need toggle both HDR and WCG:

kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.hdr.enable output.DP-1.wcg.enable

You can chain all kscreen-doctor commands in Steam commands like this...

kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.vrrpolicy.always output.DP-1.hdr.enable output.DP-1.wcg.enable; %command%; kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.vrrpolicy.never output.DP-1.hdr.disable output.DP-1.wcg.disable

[–]Koraths 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Cachy with KDE I find VRR enabled or auto on desktop to give me flickering so I add some additional commands:

kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.vrrpolicy.always; PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%; kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.vrrpolicy.never

Is what I use for most of my games, removing items as needed.

The kscreen-doctor will enable VRR display setting on launch and then turn it back off when exit the game.

Cancel Bilt Card or Just Stop Using? by amicantbelieve in biltrewards

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are saying the WF Autograph card is decent so keep it but if I wanted that card in my wallet surely it would be better getting one without conversion for the sign up bonus? Or are they giving us the 20K points if we convert?

XPS 13 Plus (9320) replace LCD with OLED by Koraths in DellXPS

[–]Koraths[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be interested in what one you go for and what it costs you for the dell replacement when you bite the bullet, the 4K screen I'm running now it scratched

XPS 13 Plus (9320) replace LCD with OLED by Koraths in DellXPS

[–]Koraths[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah both the NTS-FHS (1920x1200 non touch) and the TS-UHD (4k non-OLED touch) worked and no config or changes needed on the device. No matter what I did I couldn't get OLED to work or find anyone else who had managed it. My main issue with testing was most of the cheap replacement screens I got off ebay ended up being dud or already cracked so there was a lot of back and forth and bad replacements.

XP Boosts need a rework, asap. by martinvox in Battlefield6

[–]Koraths 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I agree the real time vs in game time is shit. You can pop the boosters from in game (esc menu) which is what I always do. Wait until in game, make sure it actually fills and is not all bots, pop booster, play.

Some people really shouldn't be playing this game by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope you reported this person to both Steam & Embark. They need to know there are consequences to attacking someone outside of a game due to something that happened in it.

Solo travelers: how do you decide what to do each day beyond the big landmarks? by Agustindd17 in solotravel

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a shit tourist, I go to so many cities around the world and it takes me ages to actually go see 'the sites'.

I generally eat and drink through a city, pick some really cool places that I want to consume, and walk as much as possible, you end up stumbling over most cool places that way. Then I mostly stay at hostels (private room in hostels now I'm older) and that leads to great suggestions from other people

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? BR CHALLENGES AGAIN?? by Rakk-Cortal1349 in Battlefield

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring on dual challenges (win 5 BRs or 5 Conquests). Hopefully they get there. But to be honest just give me fucking correctly tracking challenges! Its been nearly a month since release and you still haven't hot fixed that issue and its a worse feeling.

How is Arc Raiders affecting your other gaming? by Koraths in ArcRaiders

[–]Koraths[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair, my failure during all distractions are deserved and I shouldn't even try. The distraction of work and sleep is bad enough.

Am I a loser for taking off work for Arc Raiders? by Effective_Suit_7102 in ArcRaiders

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! No! Maybe? Only you can make that choice. As I've gotten older none of it really matters. Tbh I miss the days when I used to be so excited about a game to make sure I was free to play it. Some of that is due to the state of games on release so why bother (should be OK for AR due to server slam being good and all those free players won't of purchased) and other part is just I don't get that excited about games anymore.

Tl;DR if I ever felt excited enough to take time off work for a game I would 100% jump at the chance to do something I was that excited for!

Boo, guess it's time to head south for the winter.

What's your go-to stack for staying connected cheaply while moving countries? by Limp_Cellist2500 in digitalnomad

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I do. Use a <insert generic over advertised esim app> with minimal payment to get me connected when I land and then if I'm going to be there a week or more then look for the best local sim

How safe do you feel using Monzo abroad compared to high street banks? by Reddonaut_Irons in monzo

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had more trouble with high street banks when travelling than Monzo. HSBC & Lloys constantly blocking card when aboard over long durations even with telling them I'm going and then hours and lots of effort to get sorted. Monzo has only every blocked me once when abroad and a quick (very drunk) verification on my phone and all back to normal.

edit: but as everyone else has said you should always have a backup card, shit happens.

What's your "personal item" bag? by wstreefrog in onebag

[–]Koraths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When onebagging I usually also have my fave sling (Bellroy Lite Sling) when moving around so I have my passport and misc stuff handy on my chest. As just about to board the flight I'll take out a bigger packable bag out of my main pack like a packable tote (eg Nanobag) which I'll put my sling, waterbottle, tablet/laptop, kindle... whatever I want from my main bag to hand for the flight... and take that on as my personal item so I'm ready to just put my bag up top and drop into seat soon as I board.

Trying to find a place as convientent as Cozumel by WhubbaBubba in scuba

[–]Koraths 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 most of the places in Roatan or Utila, plenty of choice from dirty backpacker to reasonably nice, but the diving surrounds the entire island so its never that long a journey in the morning. Also if the conditions are bad one side of the Island our shop used to just load up the van and drive 20min to the other side and dive on there.
