I mainly stick to x265 for the size. I’m not too snobby with quality and for the size its fine with me. I want to like AV1 but have issue with playback on some of my devices. Usually i just play locally off a HDD on xbox (Kodi) . This may not be an issue if/when I get a NAS. Not sure if there are issues with transcoding as I haven’t really looked into it

zeshi, do zapytajszmer w Chińskie telefony

Mam Siałomi i nie mam z nim większych problemów. Jeśli chodzi o prywatność to nie martwię się istotnie bardziej niż gdybym miał samsunga, Mi się nie chce bawić w customowe OS bo nie każde urządzenie jest wspierane, a ja sobię cenię dobry stosunek cena-jakość czyli raczej nie będą to flagowce.

Minusy na siałomi to bloatware, natomiast doszły mnie słuchy że zachodnie marki nie mają go istotnie mniej.

z tym się zgodzić nie mogę, jedyną zachodnią marką, która dorównuje w ilości bloatwaru do xiaomi, czy innych oppo i vivo, to Samsung (tak, wliczam Koreę, tak samo Japonię, do krajów Zachodu). nawet Apple ma mniej zawalony system

zeshi,

a, no widzisz, dla mnie Samsung to “default zachodni telefon” :) Po Apple akurat bym się spodziewał ich bloatware i “bloatware” tylko gustowniej zrobionego. Na moim chińczyku nie jest aż tak źle, ale może jestem już na etapie akceptacji i przestałem zauważać, ew. zmieniło się na gorsze odkąd mam ten telefon.

VP9 for video and FLAC for audio. Avoid AV1 because my GPU can’t decode AV1.

One that’s not patent encumbered.

tombuben, do piracy w Proton VPN. How good is it?

Proton is a great company with a pretty good record, but I wouldn’t recommend them for passwords when Bitwarden exists. Proton only open-sources their clients, and for service based offerings like mail or VPN I don’t care about the servers being open-source, but for password management I want to be able to host my own (making sure that self-hosted mail gets properly received by Gmail is pain and self-hosting a huge VPN network is basically impossible).

cyanarchy, do piracy w Whats your preferred codec?

FLAC, because you didn’t specify what kind of Codec.

hyper,

My bad, I was asking about video codecs.
But I agree FLAC for audio. Although I convert to ALAC when using apple products which is basically the same.

cyanarchy,

I’m just being cheeky

If you are on Linux and require port forwarding, there is a bit of work that needs to be done.

Otherwise, it’s very solid.

counselwolf, do gaming w Tip of My Tongue Stealth Game Puzzle in PSX/PS2

Damn I don’t know what’s different tonight but I found it already. It was Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions on PSX. I swear I already checked this before, and I thought it wasn’t it.

But upon watching some videos of it again (now with sound), I think this it. I vaguely remember the sound it makes when succeeding.

Anyways, thread over.

Jaccident, do gaming w Tip of My Tongue Stealth Game Puzzle in PSX/PS2

Sounds a lot like the VR Missions and VR Missions Expansion for Metal Gear Solid.

counselwolf,

yeah it was, thanks. I thought this wasn’t it last time I checked, but looking at videos again (now with sound), I’m certain this is it. Thanks!!

counselwolf,

another thing that kind of threw me off was that I remember the 3rd-person view was a lot closer than from the videos I’ve watched. Like it was 3rd-person but the camera was like a feet or two above the person. The videos of the game was like the camera is placed on a ceiling.

Sharpiemarker,

Well done! That’s impressive you were able to figure out the game.

Jaccident,

The wealth that comes from ill-spent teens, I suppose.

Time enjoyed is not time wasted.

KrombopulosMikl, do piracy w Proton VPN. How good is it?
@KrombopulosMikl@lemmynsfw.com avatar

I use their stuff. I can’t complain about their vpn. I generally have it on in the background by default and I’ve rarely had issues with speed. And if a server is slow there are tons of others to select from.

They claim they don’t keep logs and so far I haven’t had any reason to doubt that. This is their whole reason for being since the Snowden leaks.

I also use their email, but it’s not my primary email. That’s mostly because of my setup. I really hate web based email so I always use an email client and they offer ProtonMail Bridge that makes it possible to use it inside an email client, but until recently I was running Linux. I think I got fed up with fucking around with Thunderbird and the bridge tool, but I gave up. Now I have a Mac and their tool works flawlessly, so I’m using the ProtonMail a little more.

missveeronica,

I will only be using email for…private matters. Not my new personal address. But thank you for the response and recommendation.

WeAreAllOne,

Only if your other contacts have proton as well then you are ok. If it is google and the likes then it isn’t that private…

DARbarian, do piracy w Proton VPN. How good is it?

According to r/VPNTorrents, Proton and AirVPN are the only recommended VPNs since they are the only well-established privacy-respecting ones left. New ones are popping up with promise, like Azire, but time will tell. As for Proton, I decided against it because of limited port forwarding and lack of IPv6 compatibility and settled on AirVPN. Also, I personally try to avoid keeping all my eggs in a single corporation's basket, so I cannot advise buying into the full Proton suite if you're remotely tech savvy and/or privacy-concerned. But they are genuinely great products if you have no desire to do any tinkering or shopping around. I just can't see the appeal in my VPN activities being directly tied to my email. Oh and I almost forgot, I switched from PIA due to their lack of IPv6 support and acquistion by Kape, a known adware company.

DARbarian,
@DARbarian@artemis.camp avatar

PS: AirVPN, in my opinion, is the last great VPN. Open-source, run by activists, anonymous accounts, crypto purchasing, IPv6 compatibility, full port forwarding, great support, Tor integration, the list goes on.

sadreality,

Mullvad no longer useful due to no port forwarding?

DARbarian,
@DARbarian@artemis.camp avatar

Well, to put it one way, Mullvad is almost definitely the best VPN that doesn't offer port forwarding. Which, in reality, may only be absolutely crucial for torrenting.

Mothra,

How noob/non tech savy friendly would you say it is?

missveeronica,

My Proton email is just a fallback and privacy based activities. Nothing nefarious, just stuff I’d prefer to keep off Google’s servers.

DARbarian,
@DARbarian@artemis.camp avatar

Ah makes sense then. Proton is my main until I get around to self-hosted email.

ColeSloth,

What happened to CyberGhost?

riley0, do piracy w Where's the go-to place for UK TV, that I could reasonably get into?
@riley0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I watch UK TV with a VPN–BBC, UKTV, Channel 4, ITV. You have to find a UK address for iplayer, but that’s not too hard with a search engine. I started doing it with Surfshark, then BBC got better at recognizing VPNs. You need to do some homework around that, and don’t believe most online advice, as it tends to be paid advertising.

Skimmer, do piracy w Proton VPN. How good is it?

Proton VPN is probably one of the best VPNs out there. Has open source clients, is based in Switzerland so under their strong jurisdiction for privacy and data protection, doesn’t keep logs or sell data, has good speeds, includes useful features, etc. I’d definitely recommend it, as well as Proton’s other products.

@Skimmer Yep. Reading your post through a Proton VPN at the moment. 🙌🏼

dustojnikhummer,

Fuck, wish I didn’t have a year of surfshark remaining
