I use it for Plex/Jellyfin, it’s the cheapest NVIDIA GPU that supports both AV1 encoding and decoding, even though Plex doesn’t support AV1 yet IIRC it’s still more futureproof that way. I picked it up for like around $200 on a sale, it was well worth it IMO.
64GB would be a nice amount of memory to have. I’ve been okay with 32GB so far thankfully.
Not anymore. My main self-hosting server is an i7 5960x with 32GB of ECC RAM, RTX 4060, 1TB SATA SSD, and 6x6TB 7200RPM drives.
I did used to host some services on like a $5 or $10 a month VPS, and then eventually a $40 a month dedi, though.
True but the title said emulation so I had to correct OP anyway lol
They are similar, but generally emulators have a higher run-time cost - this is because they are “emulating” an entire system, not just translating system calls. By cost, I mean performance of course. Emulators typically simulate/mimic other hardware, whereas translation layers just convert the system calls to be run natively on your existing hardware (which means your CPU architecture must match, etc).
Wine is far faster than regular emulation would traditionally be.
I agree, but, to be fair, WINE is not an emulator, it’s a translation layer. It may seem like it doesn’t matter but it’s an important distinction.
“Put that Furby away! We have to go play Neopets.”
Minecwaft!!!
I mean, look at Nintendo. Obviously aggressive legal tactics aside, they make some damn fun games because they know that gameplay matters more than graphics.
Well, I seem to like first-person shooters:
but realistically, I have like, many dozens of games with like 30-80 hours played, I’m really into variety gaming.
The only exceptions to this are RuneScape (OSRS and RS2 back in the day), World of Warcraft (I played a ton of Cata until maybe a year before Legion), Starcraft 2, League of Legends, and Osu.
I’ve been daily driving Linux since 2017, I started with Ubuntu and it’s been great. I recently got a Lenovo T14 Gen 1 and put Linux Mint 22 on it, and I’ve been playing some games on it and it’s been pretty nice for such a portable laptop.
There are tons of good games always coming out even recently, unless you only like multi-player games.
On areweanticheatyet.com it seems like the percentage of denied/broken keeps getting higher and higher :(
I guess it makes sense, new games come out with anticheat, and rarely do new games come out without anticheat.
It took me until my early 30s before I realized this. It’s time to begin. Let’s do this!
(Next year I am going to go travelling to Paris and likely Amsterdam too)
Self-hosting is definitely a ton of fun. I love being able to host my own services, whether it’s using like a server in the cloud or my own hardware.
People used to think so highly of CEOs, that they must be doing something right if they got to where they are. They must be smarter and have all the answers.
Now people are realizing CEOs are just rich scumbags.
No. He did a heroic act and should not be punished.
I’m sorry but the fact that people are so outraged with Biden for doing this is exactly why Kamala lost.
Trump and the Democrats are held to completely different standards. Trump is willing to fight dirty to win at all costs, and that’s why he won. It sucks to hear but it’s true.
That’s one thing I really hate and why video game preservation is so important. We need to keep games alive forever so future generations can enjoy the classics and all the masterpieces out there.
I used to, but not anymore, except for my laptop I plan on taking with me travelling. My work laptop and personal laptop are both encrypted.
I figure my home is safe enough, and I only really need encryption if I’m going to be travelling.
One of my friends locked himself out of his PC and all his data because he forgot his master password, and I don’t want to do that myself lol
