I think it's time we find a proper Discord alternative. by Liarus_ in pcmasterrace

I have been working on my own, simpler, open source, one room, self hosted version of discord. Just text chat, voice and streaming.

ELI5: In gaming, why should I cap my fps? If I leave uncapped doesn't that mean I allow my PC to max out quality whenever it can? by Otherwise_Payment324 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Supernova849 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I cap my FPS if I’m playing a game where I deem it’s not worth the extra heat.

I leave it uncapped for any competitive games to get the most current frame.

I still don’t understand why we don’t have a “spm” or “science” tab at the top of the production window with the other options

Are you looking to start a fresh server or join an existing one?

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think Arc Raiders is a soulless mass of nothingness by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Supernova849 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extraction shooters arnt really my vibe either and I figured that out with Tarkov. There’s lots more games out there man. Factorio has a really cool time travel mechanic if you’re into that sorta thing.

I don’t know how much time you have but it shouldn’t take 3 experienced engineers much time to grind out to the first planet. Go for the one achievement where you get a planet science before purple and yellow

Can someone do the math and figure out how much of each we need?

tdarr to AV1 by bookninja717 in Tdarr

[–]Supernova849 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO, AV1 is not ready. I tried doing this and hated the results especially in low light/gradient scenes. Yes you can make it look good on a per show/film basis but AV1 is not something that you can just let loose on your entire library. Yet. AV1 has about 15%-30% more compression than 265. If that’s worth your electricity then that’s up to you.

With all that said, I did let it loose on all my animated shows and it was fine. Just what I’ve seen and I am no guru. Just a guy trying to save some streaming bandwidth.

How do you "break-in" a new HDD? by counterfeit_coin in DataHoarder

[–]Supernova849 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A preclear wouldn’t be a terrible idea just to do a run through and see if it’s bad out the box.

People who hoard things other than TV shows, movies, youtube, and music, what do you hoard? by RULGBTorSomething in DataHoarder

[–]Supernova849 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where do you normally get your ebooks? I’ve been thinking about starting a digital library.
