The best Windows is Wine ;)

Why don’t they bundle the browser itself in the Flatpak and update it via the default Flatpak update mechanism?

For those on iOS: there’s an app called “Vinegar” that replaces the YouTube player with a vanilla HTML5 player that supports background/PiP play without YT Premium.

Alternatively on iPhones with “dynamic island”, minimize Safari while a video is playing, quickly tap-and-hold the dynamic island area and resume playback. After that you can lock your device and audio will continue playing.

It’s so we can download all of his downloads from his web server.

Fabric with some performance-enhancing mods is a great choice as well, yes! I’ve been wanting to test it on my server for a while now, just haven’t got around to it yet.

Paper changes some of the more quirky vanilla redstone behavior, although - again - it’s very configurable so some of that original behavior can be restored.

I’d mostly base it on which plugin/mod ecosystem you prefer/require.

World simulation (ticks) is single-threaded, but things like world generation are multithreaded. I’d recommend Paper as server software as it’s more performant out of the box (vs. vanilla) and configurable (ex. how many threads world generation is allowed to use).

If you host multiple worlds I recommend spinning up a Paper instance for each world separately and connect them with Velocity.

Ryzen 7000 should have better single-threaded performance than your i5-9500 but as it’s a VM ymmv depending on whether Sparked Host overprovisions their machines.

Couple of years, yeah.

They run their own registry at lscr.io. You can essentially prefix all your existing linuxserver image names with lscr.io/ to pull them from there instead.

Apple was very late to add AV1 support to their ecosystem in general. As you state, support for hardware decoding was only added with the M3/A17 Pro chips in 2023. There’s still no AV1 hardware encoder on any of Apple’s chips.

I think they were waiting on H.266 and whether it succeeds for too long, they were/are big on H.265 (and all the other HEVC-related stuff like HEIC) so that’d make sense from that perspective.

Input latency for one, because the next frame is delayed where the interpolated frame is inserted.

And image quality. The generated frame is, as I said, interpolated. Whether that’s just using an algorithm or machine learning, it’s not even close to being accurate (at this point in time).

Flatpaks also just come with a set of default permissions at install time, so running in a sandbox only really protects against flaws in the software, but not against malicious intentions by its creator. Flatpak doesn’t have an “ask for permission” system afaik, at least not standardized. What you do is you add or subtract from the default the app itself specifies.

YouTube is by far the slowest website I visit, it’s so bloated.

I use as few Electron apps as possible. I replaced VSCode with (depending on what I’m trying to achieve) Helix, Sublime Text or a JetBrains IDE.

Same here. I feel like having to enter it so many times isn’t just more annoying but also makes the users more susceptible to phishing attacks ad they’ll naturally pay less attention where they’re entering the 2FA code into when they do it so routinely.

Big advantage being that it’s plug-and-play via the kernel and Mesa packages, just like AMD.

I am SCP-426, your toaster.

I think most of VSCode performance improvements just stem from newer CPUs being faster.

Or what do you mean?

The list of “Healthy Games” is a great resource to have!

Bitwarden keeps working just fine.
