  • This is all spanish (as in castilian) media. The torrents are sparse and usually really badly encoded, I’m talking stuff like AVI codec in media produced in 2024.

    There’s a better chance if you try to find it in the open with those sketchy links you mention or you are “lucky enough” to get invited to a Telegram group that has it uploaded to the platform, severed in hundreds of multipart files.

    I’ve seen more Spanish people using the outdated Ed2K protocol through a/eMule rather than torrents even, it’s so depressing.





  • If you want better compatibility with Microsoft Office files, you could use WPS Office. It has given me better results overall than OnlyOffice and far better than LibreOffice.

    Not dissing the other suites, I like LibreOffice for daily use but there’s nothing I can do about M$ Office templates bugging out because they don’t follow their own OOXML implementation properly.


  • Hi! To enable HDR in most games you will need to set your game in fullscreen. Windowed or Borderless won’t allow you to use HDR functionality.

    You’ll also need to use the DXVK_HDR=1 %command% startup variable in steam to enable HDR in any Proton game. Proton 8 and 9 should support HDR without issuez although there are some games that might need additional configuration.

    If you use an NVIDIA card, you might need to enable NVAPI with DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1

    Happy gaming! :D


  • After years of using linux distros and settling on an arch based distro for my daily use, I switched jobs and they allowed me to have “linux” as my laptop OS.

    They put Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on the laptop. Admittedly I hadn’t used it for a few years, maybe 18.04 outside of server use cases maybe.

    The experience is horrible. It throws errors about Ubuntu, about Visual Studio Code or any program every hour, without those programs having any trouble whatsoever to function.

    It reminds me so much of Windows, and even though I prefer it over that system, I can’t shake the feeling I’m serving the OS, rather than the other way around, just like in Windows.

    And don’t even get me started on Snaps over DEB packages. Had never tried them before and I can say with confidence the hatred is deserved. Code didn’t even start up in the snap version and Firefox was so slow and laggy I was thinking the laptop was broken somehow.
