  • Have you explored your GPU and CPU and memory utilization? On Linux, mangohud is a great tool for this. Verify which component is bottlenecking you performance, you may see something happening when your performance drops.

    If something is visible, you may want to target it for an upgrade. If not, something else may be an issue. You may also compare with a fresh setup of nobara just to rule out any misconfiguration or other driver related issues?





  • Same, I rocked a second hand GTx 680 from 2012-2013, which I upgraded to a second hand RTX 3060 12GB for a fantastic price, in 2024. Still rocking a DDR3 platform with the intel i7 4400K. And that’s more than enough for most games with nice graphics on 1680x1050 :) (display probably 15 years old too). Eventually, I will be looking for some other second hand components to upgrade the rest of the system, but it does everything more than well enough.










  • I don’t understand in what circumstances anyone would like to use link shorteners? I can only find reasons why not to use them:

    • subject visitors to surveillance
    • destination under the control of a third party (potential for ransom for the author, like we see here, and potential of ads for visitors like we see here)
    • obfuscation of the actual destination
    • how long will the redirect be valid for? It could be deemed unviable for the company to continue support of the redirect, thus rendering the destination inaccessible from all places where the shortened link is used.
    • more…?
