There is something that I do not quite understand, suppose I host GameVault, those who use my instance will be able to download games from a library that I host, or everyone gets their own games and the system simply takes care of showing which game play each person?

And is GameVault currently federated or is it planned to be? I mean, that I can see what someone from another instance is playing?

I second this ^

Install Synaptic and remove it from there. I have used Vivaldi on KDE Neon in the past and I remove it using Synaptic, although you can also remove it from Discover.

Honestly you are right, I should think before posting things like this, may sound dramatic but I don’t want my whole Instance to be damaged by a post.

Good idea, I’m going to post it.

I actually wanted to post something related some days ago. Why happen if I store pirated content inside my VPS? I think the answer is pretty obvious, in their TOS should say that if I do that they will BAN me without warning, but can they detect the files? Or worse, what if I download directly into the VPS with torrent or Jdownloader?

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I know Alpine Linux uses APK as package manager, but it has nothing to do with APK on android. (I said this just to clarify any misunderstood)

Honestly, I think the best you can do is downloading the Windows version and playing it on Wine, yeah, you can use Waydroid but why using an Android downgraded version when you can use the Windows version?

It would be interesting if you can share the results here, I am interested to see what happens.

I took a quick look and it says it has a free option for individuals with practically everything unlocked, what’s the point of that? It’s a trick I guess?

I hadn’t thought of it and it sounds awkwardly simple, I’ll try it.

I am trying to have a separate second site.

I fixed it but now I had another strange problem, I used docker to install Owncast and made it use the port 9090 but it seems that Owncast want me to use 8080 to watch the web server, any idea how to fix this?

(When I start Owncast it says that the web server is on 8080)

That’s why I said natively.

I agree with what you said, but it’s also important to clarify that a lot, but a lot of pirate Windows software doesn’t run on Linux with just two clicks, even with Wine, it doesn’t look like it but check c/LinuxCrackTips.

Games like Forza Horizon 5 or Monster Hunter World (just to mention two examples I have in mind) need to run under a specific Wine prefix that is usually not as simple as searching on internet which prefix to use, it’s pure proof and pain of trying until the game miraculously opens, and many times if it’s not the problem of the prefix itself it’s because you have to add specific environment variables, sometimes you need specific dependencies that you don’t have any idea, sometimes said dependency is DX11

I think that even sometimes is worse, Days Gone for example ran with lag because I used “system sync” and not “esync” and here it wasn’t even the prefix problem, it was of that, nobody told me, I had to try it myself.

And not to mention that when you want to download pirated games on Linux it’s best that they’re a crack made by Empress, since she/he has to work specifically with Proton binaries to make it work on the Steam Deck, look Resident Evil 4 Remake where Empress had to create a crackfix specifically for Linux (better Linux support than Capcom herself, heh) because the game to Linux users under Wine/Proton threw an error, but the same game on Windows didn’t suffer from that.

And finally, there are programs that just don’t run because “Your GPU isn’t supported”, that mean that the program it’s not detecting the driver, so I find it hard for something like a cryptominer to work in Linux under Wine, but of course it can happen.

Personally I use Bottles, since Bottles allows me to manage my prefixes and their processes in an orderly and clean way with graphical interface and within a flatpak container (which I know, it is not necessarily the safest thing, but it is inside the Wine container, and the Flatpak container that gives me more security) but within Bottles I can close all the programs and processes that a prefix has open with a click, if I had Wine installed at system level where the programs ran to two clicks I actually would worry too much because I would not have the same level of management as in Bottles.

Probably because the vast majority of the pirate software available is for Windows, and there’s no way that program will run natively on Linux.

I mean, if I download a movie from freevirus(dot)com it is most likely that the movie will be a .mp4.exe and not a .mp4.sh.

I tried filtering for “first aid course” on 1337x and one result pop up, I suggest you check that out.

Do you plan to make “important announcements” of Denuvo games being cracked in r/crackwatch style? It’s not for criticising but the cracked games on a daily basis are often indie, and honestly I doesn’t check those posts every day, it would be great a announcements post when a big game is cracked like me I don’t know, Atomic Hearts

And thank you for creating this community! c/crackwatch is basically dead on this same server.

I seed at least 10 files at the same time on my main desktop and the CPU usage used by the program I use never goes above 0.5%, I can play and do everything I normally do and never have to stop seeding files. In the HDD usage I honestly don’t know, although the games I play are on the same HDD that is currently seeding.

Honestly at this point I think that before Nvidia does something to fix these problems we as users are going to switch to an AMD GPU.

I think we have been waiting too long and nothing happens, Nvidia must have possibly bigger interests than fixing their driver in Linux, I have been since 2020 with Linux and the Plasma experience with the proprietary driver in Xorg is still the same, I could believe that it is Plasma’s fault for being badly polished but no, or worse, that it is Linux’s fault, when it is Nvidia’s fault for their disinterest.

And I know that practically nobody can say overnight that they are going to buy a new GPU to have a polished experience, and that’s exactly what I mean, because maybe someone with an average salary will take 5 years to buy a new GPU, and in 5 years the situation with Nvidia will be the same.

Which DE are you using? I’m on KDE Plasma and honestly the Xorg experience is simply disgusting, with Wayland it’s much more usable but I suffer from the inconvenience that some programs work, others don’t.

Gnome and other DE work fine, but I’m so used to Plasma that I would find it hard to leave it. 🥲

I had read about that but I thought it specifically affected users of 2 GPU configurations, can I benefit as a single GPU home user?

I tried it and it does not seem to work unfortunately, at this point I think my HDD does not support the function to enter standby, although in Windows it does.
