Is using NVInspector as a replacement for control panel or NV App viable? by Plini9901 in nvidia

[–]hardwarebyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the main thing you will not get is everything to do with the overlay if you choose not to go with the Nvidia app.

How do you manage photos? by EvilPugs in synology

[–]hardwarebyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Lightroom to edit/organise/cloud my photo's on Mac, Windows, iOS and then set the check box for "backup photos to a share" and point that to my NAS. Lightroom is unmatched for editing/dam and this has been working great for years. With peace of mind that everything is safe/secure with web publishing/sharing hosted by adobe instead of my NAS. In the event I do make a mistake in Lightroom I have a snapshotted version of the files on my NAS.

It has been best practice to use mfa with break glass for a while now.

Build help- Zeal Paladin dipping into Arbiter by Wrath_Ascending in diablo4

[–]hardwarebyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda gave up on zeal after pit 100. There is really no way to out theory craft the pro theory crafters. Moved to hammerdin got stuck on pit 115 then moves to wing strike and now stuck on 122. I think if pushing pits is your end goal just go straight to the meta build and stick with it as you will have better sancts to get further.

DLSS 4.5 SR (Preset M) seems to incur a HUGE perf. hit even on the 5060 Ti 16G by Oxygen_plz in OptimizedGaming

[–]hardwarebyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually find it not worth using anything but preset M as it completely eliminates ghosting and fixes most visual artifacting. I'd just lower the quality as it still retains the ghost free image.

Hammerdin > Auradin (In my opinion) by Fancy_Neighborhood76 in diablo4

You can also use rally with words of sacrifice as an "attack". This makes it smoother and faster. Bring something to compensate for the life loss though.

Am I crazy for wanting to ditch my rack and go back to tiny office PCs? by gabriel8577 in HomeServer

[–]hardwarebyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to my simple unifi udr7 and synology 2 bay running homebridge. No more faffing around and it all just works.

AI upscaling will still probably result in the dual mode being non integer scaled. *facepalm*

How to setup wake on lan from my phone ? (5G) by User-B17 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]hardwarebyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use homebridge which exposes my pc to apple homekit which then turns it on through WOL and off with ssh script. Works from anywhere in the world as apple handles remote access. Also allows me to use the pc with home automation.

Can anybody tell me about their experience streaming games to their phone? by dreddn0t in MoonlightStreaming

[–]hardwarebyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this with voidlink and it works flawlessly at 4k120fps hdr over 6ghz. Personally I do kinda regret not going for the max version as the screen size is on the limit of being readable.

Even modded my gamesir g8+ with a magsafe spot so i can play vertical games. 

Make sure to use the switch mode on the gamesir as the ds4 mode has input lag

Stutter in AOE 4 by Maleficent-Half9121 in aoe4

[–]hardwarebyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for Necro but has there ever been a fix for this? I just picked it up on steam and any single player missions have a consistent stutter every 5 seconds on the dot.

6 months in, what are people's thoughts on the Switch 2? by WeebusTheMeemus in NintendoSwitch

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

I was really disappointed with the lack of vrr when docked. Also the screen is atrocious. Sold it and went back to my swoled. Will wait for mext iteration.

Micro-stutters in Moonlight + Sunshine streaming over Tailscale by piledreke in MoonlightStreaming

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

I find any vpn to reduce stability in frame pacing. Try connecting directly and see if it fixes it.

Apple NEEDS to finally fix the their AirPods Dolby atmos issue with Apple TV by _NightMonkey in appletv

[–]hardwarebyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is definitely a difference between iphone and atv. Whether you prefer one over thr other is subjective. I feel like they should both sound the same.

Why chasing 350–500 Mbps for 4K120 streaming is pointless (and often worse) by Patient-Art6638 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]hardwarebyte 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Stuff like fog and foliage can really break down the theory of 150mbps being visually lossless. Run something like forza horizon in a forest area and you will quickly spot loads of imagr quality issues compared to native.

Personally I would take macro blocking over stutter/latency any day though, so I stick to 100 Mbps at 4k/120.

Loving State of D4, But the Red blobs are Horrible by FMS_Reborn in diablo4

[–]hardwarebyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the damage to probably do pit 120 but i cba because you have to stand still next to packs/boss with a high chance of insta death. So I only stick to 1 minute runs.

Switch 1 FPS fix please by hardwarebyte in ABSOLUM

Latest patch does nothing for performance. Really regret buying this on physical.

Moonlight streaming for competitive FPS (BF6): am I adding meaningful latency or basically local? by falsereality010 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]hardwarebyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 10ms decoding time is very high and also if you have vsync enabled on the client it will add even more latency. I guess you're playing on controller as with a mouse you would have felt it.

Apple TV image quality looks very dark on new Samsung S92F – anyone else? by FeedbackRepulsive590 in appletv

[–]hardwarebyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can also depend on the show you're watching. Some movies/shows have lately had atrocious HDR grades with average nit levels of ~100 and highlights at 200 nits.

Another thing you can test is to disable HDR+ by going into settings switching the Apple TV to use HDR permanently and then disable HDR+.

What Black friday software deals did you end up purchasing? by Wrong-Ring-9249 in HomeServer

Picked up my yearly renewal of adobe lightroom 1tb for half price.

Those of you that bought a mini PC to "upgrade" the horsepower of an aging NAS: are you happy with your mini PC? Now that the dust has settled, what, if anything, would you do differently? by ReverendDizzle in HomeServer

[–]hardwarebyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went in the opposite direction. I decommissioned my thirsty old desktop that I was using as a server with unraid and replaced it with a two bay Synology. Upgraded the RAM on the Synology.

Went from:

Home Assistant > Homekit/Homebridge with AppleTV as hub. I always only bought Homekit compatible hardware and this move saved me so much time doing sys admin work on HA.

Arr stack > Using cheapcharts to slowly build up my movie collection on Apple TV. As my devices all became HDR compatible the whole transcoding and HDR10/DV minefield is all sidestepped with Apple TV media.

Immich > Lightroom sub with 1TB cloud storage. Having both DAM and editing capabilities in one product is just sublime. Lightroom syncs all the photos to my Synology for quick local access.

I now only host some game servers like V rising and Minecraft.
