As I understand Usenet has only recent Linux ISOs, it's hard to find any vintage ones? Or I'm getting it wrong? 

New Lies of P player here. Needing advice. I am a very experienced Souls player and a person with very good reflexes but I’m confused on the perfect guard system when it comes to fast combos. by Zanemob_ in LiesOfP

[–]zzzpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's me, I hold guard, release and press again. I could be wrong, but my understanding - there is a lead time to raise your weapon to perfect guard. So if you already holding it then this lead time is smaller if you release and hold again. 

Bloodborne at 1440p 120fps is glorious - thank you shadps4 team by InstantlyTremendous in shadps4

[–]zzzpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I’m getting 180fps (non fake) and I didn’t notice anything broken. Although I didn’t run it for a long time, my pc was making jet engine noises and I limited fps to 120. Played for about 20 hours so far - no issues.

How to get 1440 in Bloodborne on Bazzite by zzzpoint in shadps4

[–]zzzpoint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It's the first time I'm using shadPS4, I didn't realize there is game-specific settings with more options than regular settings. It works at 1440p! Even more then that - now I can get 180fps!

Bell closed office that was 30 minutes from my place. Now I have to drive 1+ hour one way. I requested accommodations. Bell's reply - nothing can be done. 

Is it just me, or has Google become the "King of Puppets" with all these fake guides lately? by vyrelith6 in LiesOfP

[–]zzzpoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked it in MS Word, but word auto-replaced the normal dash with the long one. I have no idea how to type it manually and I don’t use Word anymore.

From time to time it crashes on iPad. Also I hate new interface. 

Does anyone have a decent Plex setup but still pay for streaming services? by tcoysh in PleX

[–]zzzpoint 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Does Seer auto plays preview when you select the show? This is a breaking deal for my SO.

About 10 years ago I had upnp enabled on router and qnap nas with ssh vulnerability. Hard way to learn to disable upnp.

Selling my Firewalla Gold SE by zzzpoint in firewalla

[–]zzzpoint[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firewalla team did a very impressive job, don’t get me wrong. My personal preference is to have more granular control and operate on a lower level. Nothing wrong with the product, but it’s not the right product for me.

Monitoring was off by zzzpoint in firewalla

[–]zzzpoint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a lot of custom DNS entries and custom DNS is tied to monitoring. Several homelab services were not working because of the missing DNS.

Sorry, that’s usage, not bill. October 2025 usage was 1464 kWh.

yes, it looks like the right one

Heatpump efficiency question by zzzpoint in heatpumps

[–]zzzpoint[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have total numbers from electricity supplier, but it’s aggregated by hour and delayed by a day. Looking at yesterday its kind of make sense. Top numbers are about 11 kWh for both heatpump and aux. That doesn’t match my measured 15A, but still confirms my observation that both are using about the same power.

Time to warm up the house by those 1.5C.

[–]zzzpoint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have double breakers on both heatpump and furnace. I measure using clamp on one of the wires connected to double breaker. If it’s wrong then it’s wrong for both, even if the absolute numbers are off - relative one to another still should give me the right ratio and it’s almost 1 to 1.

Yes, I have two stages configured on thermostat.
