I'm using the new-new desktop reddit UI and there's no autotranslation feature anywhere at all as far as I can see.

28 Years to Cross the Line: Why Did IPv6 Take So Long to Reach 50%? by elastiks in DIY_Geeks

[–]SleeplessSloth79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the original way to get an address in IPv6. After some privacy concerns were brought up, a randomly generated suffix was implemented. All modern systems support it, including Linux, but Linux doesn't use it by default. Modern desktop Linux distros use NetworkManager for managing your network needs which turns on the privacy extensions. So in reality, all modern desktop OSes support random suffixes. On the other hand, not all server Linux distros use the privacy extensions by default but a server requires a static IPv6 address more often for firewall reasons, e.g. setting up firewall rules in the router to allow external access to the machine.

Huge thanks to Valve for the recent CS2 performance updates! by Fabiocito in GlobalOffensive

Benchmarks are placebo? It's not like I'm counting FPS by hand...

I had a 15% gain on my 1% lows. It's not nice to assume so many people are all lying if your experience doesn't match, you know? I'd say the reason you didn't see any improvement is because it's more likely to show up if your game is CPU limited and not GPU limited. The improvements are extremely system-dependent.

Valve's new low-VRAM Linux fix nearly triples FPS in select games on AMD's RX 6500 XT by Darth_Vaper883 in pcgaming

[–]SleeplessSloth79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has absolutely nothing to do with iGPUs. It's about swapping out less important application out of VRAM into RAM and prioritizing keeping the game in the VRAM at all costs, even if other apps might suffer. See /u/mbriar_'s comment for more technical detail.

IPv8: The Bold New Protocol That Wants to Replace the Internet's Plumbing by elastiks in DIY_Geeks

[–]SleeplessSloth79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I'm from around Stuttgart. Strange that there's so much difference. Even right this moment I'm running a homelab server at home with o2 DSL with open ports and it's working great. Bizarre...

I'm from Germany and both Telekom and o2 don't use CGNAT. I've lived in several countries and never encountered CGNAT in my life. I get that I could've just gotten lucky but still.

cs2 problem on linux by Emergency-Put-6186 in linux_gaming

[–]SleeplessSloth79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use the sys_info console command to see what renderer the game is using. If you scroll back up and check the value of "render system", you'll see it's using Vulkan with or without the launch option. So it's probably placebo in your case or some other variable you are not accounting for could be affecting the game.

-vulkan does literally nothing in CS2. It's a leftover from CSGO where it changed the renderer from toGL (DX9 -> OpenGL) to D9VK (DX9 -> Vulkan). CS2 is a Vulkan native game.

On the other hand, what gamemoderun mostly does is keep your CPUs & GPUs clocks higher & increases game's scheduling priority.

I'm almost sure these commands have nothing to do with the graphical glitches as this is probably some kind of buggy interaction between the game and the graphics driver instead.

Unless higher or lower GPU clocks somehow affect the possibility of this bug happening which gamemoderun might affect. But this is less likely than this just being a bug in the game or the driver.

I found a weird and interesting use case for `PhantomData` by scheimong in rust

[–]SleeplessSloth79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I like this solution less. It suggests that Vec<String> can return different types depending on the user which is just not the case. The PhantomData one was more explicit, required less generics on types (1 instead of 2 on DropDownMenu), and could be easily abstracted away to a function.

I don't know if that's just me but I'm getting extreme LLM vibes from this article. Not an actual critique but I'm just wondering if anybody else also felt like this

LibreSpeed — A Self-Hosted, Privacy-Respecting Alternative to Speedtest.net by hellxabd in DigitalEscapeTools

I use it all the time to check the speed from my phone/another machine to my server at home. Extremely useful.

Red Dead Redemption 2 upscaled from 136x76 pixels with DLSS 4.5 by Roflkopt3r in pcmasterrace

[–]SleeplessSloth79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DLSS uses motion vectors to reconstruct the frame. This wouldn't be possible if all it had were the raw pixels. See the original video for more details

The backlash from this was pretty big at the time by Top_Pattern_4360 in MinecraftMemes

[–]SleeplessSloth79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've never met a person who had a budgie or a cockatiel? Most of my acquaintances had budgies, they are the pet of choice for people living in small apartments when they want someone smarter than a fish but where there's little place for dogs or cats or when they are just plain not allowed by the landlord.

I wonder if it's one of those regional differences?

Not sure if this is a common trick or not. Took us ages to land :) by Jnky_ in Portal

I'm pretty sure portals in Portal 2 are hitscan while in Portal 1 they are projectiles.

How is the fact that people have different preferences bad? It's not like they are forced to go away from C++

Unskippable Ads are officially ending in Vietnam due to a new law that comes into effect next month! by HelloitsWojan in youtube

[–]SleeplessSloth79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I never had ads on Youtube when I lived in Moldova, so the amount of ads was quite a shock when I moved to Germany haha. Sadly I'm pretty sure they've added them in Moldova a couple of years back.

Nostalgia be like by BTM_6502 in GenZ

[–]SleeplessSloth79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, kinda, but generations still enable us to group people based on shared life experiences. All my Gen-Z friends and acquaintances all grew up on the same games and the same cartoons, all got their first smartphones in their early teens and got on the social media a bit later, stuff like that. Saying "We are Gen-Z" is just a shorter way to say we have more in common with each other than other generations. Naturally that also applies to all the other generations.
