Possibly from allowing sunlight into the building which heats the interior. Air conditioning must work extra hard to overcome the heat.

Add that to the startup commands in steam for Baldur’s Gate.

In the case of Denuvo, it is proven to drastically decrease performance for the sake of “security.”

Examples:
Hogwarts Legacy Denuvo vs Crack

Resident Evil 8 Village Denuvo vs Crack

If you get the crack from a reputable source, you can trust it will be safe. A low seed torrent from a shady place (like The Pirate Bay) is probably a virus. High seed torrent from another source like 1337x or something with more active moderation is generally safe.

If you want to be extra sure, spin up a VM and install the crack there and check it out before doing it on your real machine.

Prowlarr is better than Jackett, especially for setting up Sonarr and Radarr.

These bots and the people that post links every hour to related communities are what is going to kill lemmy.

you’re on the piracy community… what do you expect to see here?

Ah, maybe it’s started up again.

I prefer Prowlarr because the UI is just like Sonarr and Radarr and it can synchronize your indexers to Sonarr and Radarr

torrents-csv.ml is excellent. It’s a compiled database of other torrent sites that is pruned of unseeded torrents. It usually has what I need except for new releases, as they aren’t added immediately.

Side note: Jackett is nice but Prowlarr is better. Jackett development has stopped. Prowlarr is a little bit more feature rich and can automatically add indexers to Sonarr and Radarr.

Oh that’s awesome.

I use the new PE version since it’s still maintained and has had something to fix any of my problems so far.

Hiren’s boot CD

It’s a small ISO with tons of utilities on it. It’s great for recovering data if shit goes really south. I always have one handy.

Edit: toss it onto your ventoy stick

Same - I’m very curious as to what it is and how it’s used.

I hate the jargon used in some of these app descriptions.

example: “Enhance workflow with integrated collaboration and intelligent software agents to automate your processes.”

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO

They have moderators that can remove anything.

Money isn’t too tight - I have a $250 Amazon credit right now to use on whatever.

I’d really prefer to upgrade the CPU because it’s already overclocked and still struggling. When I host a game like Space Engineers, I get massive lag spikes as it tries to keep up.

The CPU is just not enough for what I would like to do.

Yes, Plex transcoding is awful. Hardware transcodes aren’t possible on that build because I have nothing that supports it. The earliest QuickSync capable Intel chips are the 8000 series.

CPU and RAM are consistently >90%. It’s mostly qbittorrent doing that by caching files I’m seeding.

Game servers are mostly stable but Plex struggles if it’s transcoding (necessary due to video file types and who I’m streaming to).

Just double checked and the 13400 is 65W just like the 5600x, which has no iGPU. I know AM4 and DDR4 would greatly reduce the cost of this upgrade but I’d like this to last as long as possible for me.

I’d really like to utilize Intel QuickSync. Anything not capable of that is a deal breaker for me.
