It crashed a lot when I played it on windows too. I tried playing it a couple of times, but always gave up partway through because it kept crashing. There are some mods that are supposed to help with stability, I should try it again and see if they fix it.
There are seedboxes that start around USD $5 a month.
They haven’t been selling anything that cheap since the AI driven hard drive shortage. A refurbished 12TB drive is around $200 now.
Windows XP is really lightweight. As long as your CPU supports VT-x or AMD-V, the VM will run fine.
Different games use different types of DRM. If the game just uses the basic Steam DRM, you can remove it with Steamless. If it uses something else, you have to wait for someone to crack it or for a DRM free release.
I lost all interest in it when stations started putting DRM in their over the air channels. It would have been a great upgrade if the FCC would have banned DRM and encryption.
The price of DDR4 has tripled over the last year. It’s still not as bad as DDR5 though.
Having the buffers separate is useful because you can have two different things copied at the same time.
You could try. There are lots of open issues and the last commit was 5 years ago. It may have been abandoned.
I looked up the site on archive.org, but they don’t have any of the documentation pages archived. It looks like the documentation was just auto generated by gtk-doc, so you could clone the repo, install gtk-doc and generate the same documentation that was on the web site.
The domain registration probably expired. It’s pretty common for someone to buy up expired domains and point them to crap like that.
Middle click paste is extremely useful. Why would anyone want to disable it?
That can be done with Apt-Cacher NG. It’s a proxy server that caches .deb packages. It really speeds up updates if you have multiple computers that are using the same packages.
I run one on my firewall, but it’s IPv6 only because of CGNAT. The other one is running on a VPS in case I need IPv4 access. I just configured them manually.
We shouldn’t even need video. It’s just a waste of bandwidth unless you are showing some slides for a presentation or something.
You can get an adapter board that will make it work with an M.2 SSD. I believe it’s only PCIe 2.0, so there’s no point putting a high end SSD in it unless you need a high write endurance. Any SSD will be a huge improvement over a hard drive.
Most Linux distros will run on it since it’s using a 64 bit Intel CPU. If you have the version with 4GB of RAM, you will need something very lightweight though. I would run Debian if I was going to use it as a server or Mint if I was going to use it as a desktop.
The Mac Mini should still be perfectly usable if you put Linux on it and upgrade it to an SSD.
No, you don’t need a VPN if you’re using a seedbox.
I haven’t had any issues with public trackers on ultra.cc. I probably download about 100 or so public torrents a month, but that’s not new release stuff that’s likely to get a DMCA notice.
The VPN killswitch is not safe for bittorrent, it doesn’t work fast enough. Binding the torrent client to the VPN interface is safe though.
Yeah, MTP is worthless. I always use
adb pushif I need to transfer a lot of stuff.
