  • I’m late to the comment board, but I had to say something. I was amazed when one day my broken Balders’ Gate III P22 install suddenly not only worked, but worked with Vulkan. Until now, I figured it was an improvement to the Proton-GE or Experimental that came down around that time. Anyway, when I loaded my game (in the underdark) on my OLED, I was shocked at the improvement.

    Not only was the framerate closer to 40+ vs 28-30, but it was vibrant. The resolution appeared to be better, too. It was gratifying to see it looked better than on my ancient Lenovo gaming laptop (circa 2016), which, to my surprise, handled it quite well considering the age of the NVidia card.




  • At least Chromecast for TV basically does this. I can search for something and it will tell me all the ways I can watch for any installed app even unsubscribed.

    Still, the issue of paying multiple monthly fees to see what you want is ludicrous. It’s as if the media companies maliciously complied with consumers’ desire to pick and choose what they watch rather than pay $200 a month for 1000 stations they don’t watch.

    Now, you have to pay $200 to get all the services that have what you want to watch - and you still have to sift through the drek.

    Much better, that. /s










  • I’m tooling around looking for an answer to my own OpenVPN Question,cand saw this.

    All I can do to give you hope is describe my experience.

    I use OpenVPN to access my Synology NAS, and if my network at the remote end is good, I don’t have anywhere near the problem you have. I recently switched to a provider that uses fiber (only recently became available) and both the up and down is 1G (I verified).

    You might have configuration issues that throttle your throughput if you have 35Mb up speed. You won’t be fast with that, but it shouldn’t be excrutiating. I had 10Mb up, and that was excruciating.

    How bad is it when you push a similar file up to the server? If it is not much faster, there’s definitely something outside the encryption slowing you down.
