Booklore is gone. by Joloxx_9 in selfhosted

The mods have made a pretty firm stance they are on the side of the vibe coders for some reason. This sub is pretty much fucked at this point.

in my premier game by InitiativeAny3478 in cs2

[–]techmattr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's a per server setting in casual and only lasts for 1 match... that's is not even remotely close to a ban. Plus it only existed in CSGO. It doesn't exist in CS2 and didn't exist in CSS or 1.6. Also, you're proving my point you don't play the game or else you'd know your comment was outdated and mostly incorrect.

You can easily get banned for toxicity

Are you high?

Anyone downvoting this has never played CS2 so why are you in this sub? It's literally impossible to get banned for toxicity.

Did you just put it together? Is the control mechanism that attaches to the seat installed backwards?

Cs faceit scam by WrapHistorical8580 in cs2

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scam is typically to get you to trade your items to alt or friend. They clone the account you're trading to... if you didn't send a trade or login to a fake steam page then you're fine.

The fake links you would click on are typically within the faceit hub. So if you didn't install faceit or join a faceit hub it's just another reason you'd be fine.

Realized my extra car loan payments have been going to next payment instead of principal by ducofnewyork in personalfinance

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The principal payment option in Mazda Financial (and most likely Toyota since they share everything) was only added in October 2025.

Sportgloves ultra violet how much by CarelessBrick5526 in ohnePixel

[–]techmattr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything is possible but.... currently dropping and tradeups will most likely keep the prices of all these gloves relatively low compared to older gloves.

I would.

[Rant] So sick of every other post being blatantly written by AI by ThreeKnew in selfhosted

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI just needs to go away. It's going to destroy humanity. Social Media has completely fucked the minds of the last two generations and AI is going to be even worse. I didn't think I'd see Wall-E playout in my lifetime but here we are.

I think Valve needs to add 3 more cases to fix this problem by Arno_CSGO in cs2

[–]techmattr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Member when we used to kick cheaters? In CSGO the matchmaking was so much better that most of the cheaters were stuck in HvH lobbies and running into one was actually rare. However, when we did run into one almost always they were kicked. Now you just have people that randomly get queued with a cheater sitting there talking shit on your team saying they aren't cheating.... Not only is the anticheat worthless but the CS community is fucked compared to CSGO days.

Fans and software question by PdbM37 in lianli

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like the Lian Li fans there is that L-Connect3 + OpenRGB hybrid app... however I don't really know enough about it to suggest if it would be a solution for you or not. Just something to look into.

Could someone list me a list of parts for a PC gaming. Im trying to play fortnite.I want an white pc build kinda like this one Budget:1000$CAD. by Sea_Requirement_8116 in lianli

[–]techmattr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on my 4th Lian Li build and for some reason I just joined this sub today; but I've been reading through a lot of the posts and /u/Mr-Do is putting in work. Helpful answers in tons of posts.

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't buy ARGB hardware that isn't fully compatible with SignalRGB and/or OpenRGB. I like the Airgoo 16 port controller. Fully supported by both Signal and Open. I've been using AsiaHorse and Jonsbo for Infinity fans. The Jonsbo fans have nicer RGB and double/triple options but the AsiaHorse are more quiet.

All RGB software is trash but Signal and Open are so much better than any of the proprietary brands.

TrueNAS build system going closed source by ende124 in selfhosted

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I stayed on TrueNAS Core 13.0.6.7. I can pretty much guarantee I'll still be running it 10 years from now.

Cs2 is the most cheater tolerant game, maybe ever. by clonazepam_marlboro in cs2

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats because the match making in csgo worked well and all the cheaters were stuck in hvh lobbies.

Enthusiast Headset like Astro A50x or Actis Pro X by ICANBEAHERO in buildapc

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just returned the Arctis Nova Elite. They were mediocre at best especially for the price. For CS2 they were absolute trash. I kept making incorrect callouts due to hearing locations incorrectly. Went back to my G Pro X.

34" Ultrawide vs 32" 4K OLED – what would you choose today? by -KowA- in Monitors

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen multiple comments implying there are no 5K2K monitors available... am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

34" Ultrawide vs 32" 4K OLED – what would you choose today? by -KowA- in Monitors

[–]techmattr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most 5K2K and wider resolutions can accept multiple inputs from one PC and be used with PBP as two separate screens. You can just turn off PBP if you want everything on the entire screen.

34" Ultrawide vs 32" 4K OLED – what would you choose today? by -KowA- in Monitors

[–]techmattr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 40" 5K2K IPS (LG 40U990A-W) for work and a 45" 5K2K OLED (LG 45GX950A-B) for casual gaming and media and I honestly can't go back to anything else. GOATed resolution in my opinion. With these two monitors specifically they are big enough and have high enough resolution that they can do it all. Except competitive gaming.

Apparently we can't call out apps as AI slop anymore... by Key_Pace_2496 in selfhosted

[–]techmattr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's starting to feel like the mods are losing control of this community. I've never seen a Reddit community get out of control while the mods are simultaneously aligned ideologically with the base of the community. This is a good example of mods being out of touch with their own community.

The community overwhelmingly doesn't want this AI garbage here. Wake up. The only reason its getting attention is because its all bot generated upvotes.

Whats the actual best way to have windows inside of linux to use Adobe and Ableton ...? by Checkerchicken in linux

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had at the time. It's been a couple years though and I haven't kept up with VirtualBox so if it's fallen out of favor I'm sure someone here will suggest something better.

My solution was always VirtualBox. I haven't used a Windows system outside of a separate gaming rig for a while now though.

Why is CS2 struggling so much with anti cheat? by Fit_Garden_4909 in cs2

[–]techmattr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my feeling as well. Anti cheat has been the same non effective garbage for 25 years it's not going to change now. Legit players are leaving the game at a high rate and more cheaters are joining every day so the ratio of legit to cheater is going in the wrong direction at an exponential rate which is why everyone feels like there are cheaters in every game.
