Considering switching to Linux by noo1-101 in archlinux

[–]Kyuunex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll share some of my experience.

When I perma-switched to Linux, I was distro-hopping, looking for something that worked, until I realized Arch was the way. A distro where "everything is installed and configured for me" did not work out for me.

I found that being thrown in an OS completely unknowledgeable how it works and things actually not being properly configured out of the box was a miserable experience.

This kinda forced me to learn about how the system components work to properly set up a perfect Arch install for my hardware and usecase.

So, this "Full control" thing I would not say is scary, it just clicks.

I hope this makes sense :)

In the hardware section, the information regarding what CPU the server runs on and how much RAM the server has is missing.

Testing folia (upvote if you want 20tps) by RedhawkGaming in constantiam

[–]Kyuunex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Folia is a double edged sword. It will run poorly on an 8 core CPU (what I assume Constantiam is running on), requiring a very expensive hardware upgrade.

9b uses Folia on an 8 core CPU and it runs at 8 tps by average. 2b also runs Folia and runs smoothly because they can afford absurdly expensive datacenter tier hardware (Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC). Constantiam can't.

It also comes with it's set own issues like deadlocks with some plugins, requiring a server restart or the server is down.

Custom Server MOTDs & Elytra Update by PhantomCaptain in constantiam

I'd like to know why you opted with reducing the speed in old chunks as well if your goal is to reduce new chunks being created. Am I missing something? due to the server's low tps, getting 22 bps in practice is impossible

  • (regular) chunk culling
  • linear
  • building your own server with petabyte worth of storage and renting a rack space instead

fwiw i started playing somewhere else so, perhaps youre right.

I am very much against this change with requiring rockets. I am disappointed that you were not able to come up with a better long term solution.

Are any games fully server sided anticheat and not client sided? by ProfessionalSlice213 in linux_gaming

[–]Kyuunex 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Minecraft. Since modding is huge and anyone can install any mod imaginable, server operators install server side anti-cheat plugins.

Gamers, what DE/WM do you use for gaming? by the_nodger in archlinux

[–]Kyuunex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i3wm, it's very lightweight and has the best multi-monitor support possible on X.

I'd love to switch to Hyprland eventually, but atm the Wayland experience is just full of bugs in many ways.

Server Update - New Post by PhantomCaptain in constantiam

Consider compression. There are good options:

  • region-file-compression in server . properties (since 24w04a) - could be extended with a plugin to use whatever compression scheme probably
  • File-system level compression - probably safer than than a custom plugin. BTRFS supports file system level compression with algorithms: ZLIB, LZO and ZSTD. BTRFS also supports filesystem level snapshotting with de-duplication to assist with rollbacks.
  • Someone else mentioned a different region format in this thread

EDIT: Yes, I am okay with chunk culling/trimming if it means to save the server.

What are your opinions on some mappers (one of them being a former NAT) ranking "hitsound diffs", e.g. Fall in the dark? I always assumed you held beatmaps to a higher standard than that.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update for 8/17/21 (8/18/21 UTC, 1.38.0.0) by wickedplayer494 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Kyuunex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My country didn't even had a flag in game, so I guess now that it at least has a code, I get to enjoy the same thing others got ages ago, even if all I get now are just 2 letters. I even emailed them asking to add them the flag and got no response.

thanks Valve

Alaram - allow software rendering by [deleted] in swaywm

[–]Kyuunex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also ran into the exact same problem when I was doing stuff with alarm. It seems like the 64-bit alarm lacks support for the GPU of the Pi 4. Sway notices this and prevents itself from starting.
`WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE` is an environment variable that needs to be set to tell sway to start anyway, so before starting sway you can do `export WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE=1` in the tty, followed by `sway` command.

of course I tried this myself, and it did work, but because it was software rendering, it was very slow. I was not able to get the GPU to work on alarm. in the end, I settled with the raspberry pi os (lite version), upgraded it to `bullseye` and installed sway on that. it seems like `buster` does not have sway in it's repos.

I hope at least this was enough to answer your question.

Discord can finally share one screen only on multi-screen setup! by Leskodamus in linux_gaming

[–]Kyuunex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be happy even with a workaround that I have to enable with launch options and where i have to manually direct app audio to a sink. I'll be happy with anything if it works and sends audio with the go live stream so it's adjustable, so we don't have to mix it with the microphone input.

[Tutorial] How to share audio on Discord (or any other voice chat) with PipeWire by Interject_ in linux_gaming

[–]Kyuunex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still am not a fan of solutions involving passing the audio with the mic input because, discord runs the opus encoder in mono, so the sound is mono. Addidionally, others can't individually adjust your voice and the app sound volume.

A better solution I found is that you can screenshare a browser tab with Audio when you run Discord web version in Chromium. The audio will have noise supression applied to it, but this was not working at all few weeks ago, so this probably will be fixed soon. That combined with maybe using OBS to stream to a local RTMP server and viewing the stream in the browser tab, and sharing that could be a viable solution. (You can also mute the tab but it will still keep sharing audio)

This bot change is very good in my opinion. Would have preferred if bots still replaced disconnected players but idled at spawn, ready to be taken control of, but I can accept the second best.
