Im just sittin, bro.

I haven't updated my Quest 2 since it got a 120hz patch. Been blocking their servers via Pi-Hole and Oculess because fuck Meta and their shitty requirements. Btw, PCVR players, if you want more freedom with your Quest 2 devices you might want to check out Oculess and OculusKiller.

That's what they want you to think.

While I don't really care about old Reddit style, it's amazing that you guys made it an option for people used to it. Based!

If you use a script manager (Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, Greasemonkey, Firemonkey) I can recommend some userscripts:

  1. Tabview for Youtube - condenses comments, description, playlists and chat into a neatly organised sidebar,
  2. YT Resource Unholder - improves how YT handles resources and improves performance,
  3. YT CPU Tamer - more performance improvements,
  4. YT AV1 - forces YT to use AV1 for all videos.

Greetings from a Surface Book 2 running Fedora 38! Everything works nicely (dtx included), battery life is great. Switching from W10 to Linux on this machine was probably one of the best decisions I could make.

I have yet to see one of those messages. Proud uBlock user.

Yeah, cloudflared won't be able to access your exposed services if your internet suddenly goes down.

If you are worried about availability maybe you should consider moving some stuff to a VPS.

I can't decide between staying with Liftoff or switching back to Infinity :'D

NextDNS (free up to 300k queries/month, doesn't require any additional apps) or AdGuard (paid but has cosmetic filtering, they have their own app available on their website). Both are fast and don't require root.

I've been daily driving Fedora with surface-linux kernel on SB2 for over a year. It just works (well, maybe except for the camera).

Kinda like the idea. Might give it a go.

Yep, would totally recommend using one. I started with KeePassXC but switched to BitWarden later coz of simple convenience (sync and all that jazz).

Yeah, I have no idea what this has to do with tech.

Can unlock it on my machine 😎

Got back to Death Stranding. I felt like delivering massive amounts of cargo on foot.

Thanks for mentioning Grim Dawn. Now I have the mightiest urge to play that again :T

I still pay for premium because it allows me to intercept their high quality 320kbps ogg streams.

Videos encoded with AV1 are smaller and look better on lower bitrates so you save some bandwidth. I noticed it's also a bit less straining on the CPU which is nice if you wanna save some battery juice if you're on a laptop without a dGPU.

I guess it's worth a try, maybe go for Fedora KDE spin or something lighter? If he has an Nvidia card in it I'd suggest gettin Pop!_os.

Just install a FOSS alternative to their launcher like Heroic

Finally!

Look up soggfy or zotify. Can't link them here for obvious reasons.

You can use them without premium but the quality of saved files will be lower.

Oh, I didn't know about that. Gonna try isolating it too.

Blokada likes to eat up battery because all filtering takes place on your device. The more lists you have the worse it gets. AdGuard uses their own servers to block stuff and only does some cosmetic filtering in their app. In my experience it almost didn't affect the battery at all.

Surface-linux page for SB2 says their kernel does support Nvidia variants. Not really sure about the battery life because mine only has an iGPU.

Oh, I see, thanks for the info!
