I put /var/lib/flatpak
in a separate btrfs subvolume. Timeshift only takes a snapshot of the root and home subvolumes.

I use it all the time without any VPN and haven’t had any issues. I watch almost all youtube videos in MPV, which uses yt-dlp to get the video. I download any video I may want to watch again later to my server.
I always use yt-dlp do download youtube videos. It doesn’t require installation, you just download and run it.
By the late 90’s most monitors were smart enough to detect when sync speed was too far off and not try to display an image.
It was the old monitors that only supported a single or fixed set of scan rates that you had to worry about damaging. Some could be very picky and others were more tolerant.
Is was those crappy winmodems that caused all the problems. They cheaped out on hardware, so you basically got a sound card. All of the work had to be done by the driver, which also put a lot of load on your CPU. Serial modems just worked since everything was done in hardware.
That version has been patched.
Lutris uses separate prefixes and doesn’t do any deduplication. You will need a separate tool for that or just use a filesystem like btrfs that supports deduplication.
I’ve never used bottles, so I don’t know how it handles deduplication.
No, you can copy wine prefixes around all you want. You may have to adjust the graphics settings in the games though.
X11 isn’t secure and it can’t be fixed apparently
Which is why so much work has been going into Wayland, which will replace X11.
I see an LG WH14NS40 on amazon for $55 US that will write triple layer discs. Where are you finding $130 drives?
Blurays will be much more reliable and will write much faster than cheap flash drives. A double layer disc only holds 46.5 GiB though and triple layer discs are still somewhat expensive.
I typically look for 1080p X265 encodes around 2-4 mbps to save disk space. I will download higher bitrates for anything with a lot of film grain since it will get very blocky at lower bitrates.
I can’t tell much difference between 1080p and 4K unless I’m very close to a large screen. Also, most 4K files are HDR and I don’t have anything that supports HDR.
They will usually block port 25 so you can’t run a mail server. It’s unusual for an ISP to block everything unless you are on CGNAT.
With Wayland, programs still can’t restore their window position or size. It sure would be nice if they could get basic functionality working.
I would only recommend using it if a native package is not available or you need a newer version than what’s available.
Half the time I will just compile from source when I see how much space a flatpak and its dependencies will take up though.
There’s an option to allow it to run offline and that will allow it to work with cracked clients. There’s no user authentication, so only make the server accessible to people you trust over a VPN.
Someone already worked out how to do it: IP over Avian Carriers. The ping time is terrible though.
It needs more information about what went wrong. That’s about as useful as a windows BSOD.
Upgrade to Linux. It’s free and not filled with spyware like windows.
Anything I add to fstab gets mounted in
/mnt
and removable drives get auto mounted to/media
. Linux doesn’t care where you mount your drives, they can be mounted anywhere you want.
