@TsFreddie do u know how efficient godot rpcs are?
just checked. it indeed sends the entire path of the node when calling RPC, but it caches them afterwards.
Avatar
effectively a 32bit int for the path then 16bit for the method name if you keep calling them.

ah thats not bad since im sending the same thing a lot
05:41
but my arguments are pretty tuff
05:42
mm not really perhaps, just a few strings and a few ints

catxplosion bit pack yourself
05:42
also godot's enet has built-in compression, not sure how effective that is tho

ye i saw dat

why are you sending strings lol

i can switch them to ids i guess
05:42
player names
05:42
then that make sense

well i cant change player names to bits
05:43
but entity names i can

ok 🤷‍♀️
Avatar
btw, our seller scammed ₴2800 out of us
09:04
they installed an Antivirus (which sucked and costed 400₴) and a PAID adblocker (which I didn't even knew was on my PC until I checked the paycheck and costed 2449.90₴)
09:04
I won't buy from Foxtrot ever again

MonkaS thats why i buy my PC's without an OS usually :D

paid adblocker 😦 probably worse than an actual ad blocker

mind you that this was the first TRULY MY laptop
Replying to @meloƞ thats why i buy my PC's without an OS usually :D

lmaoo paid adblocker
09:05
how does that work even
09:06
like what does it block exactly
09:06
is it just for a browser?
Avatar
also, this license was for two years AND TWO DEVICES
09:06
AND THEY DIDN'T INSTALL IT ON THE OTHER ONE
09:07
IT MEANS THEY EITHER HALF-SCAMMED OR FULLY-SCAMMED $60 OUT OF US (edited)
Avatar
I'd say a paid ad blocker is already a scam
Avatar
paid antivirus aswell - windows defender is actually good imo
Avatar
and the antivirus they installed, it didn't allow me to screenshare, because when I tried to screenshare, I was losing connection
09:10
then once upon a time I discovered that if I kill the antivirus process, Discord starts to work normally!
09:13
I don't even know, because, as I said, I didn't know it was on my PC (probably it wasn't) until I looked at the paycheck
Replying to @cyberFighter is it just for a browser?

...so, back to the topic of Linux
Avatar
get an external hard drive
Avatar
installing it on a USB-stick isn't a good idea either, because my laptop has USB 2.0, which is slow as hell
09:19
I already said why I can't
Replying to @meloƞ get an external hard drive
Avatar
save up for it
09:20
if you want to dual boot on your drive within your laptop, which also has your windows installation
09:20
you will need to read into disk partitioning, dual booting, and not interfering with your bootloader
Avatar
awesome
Avatar
you will need to resize and partition your disk, risking to break your windows installation in the progress
Avatar
external hdd doesn't work well if the computer only has usb 2.0
Avatar
my laptop also has RJ45
09:22
but I don't think there are drives which connect via RJ45
Avatar
is that the LAN-cable port thingie? i dont know its exact name :D
Avatar
yes, it's the LAN thing
Avatar
i actually dont know, might want to look it up if you can connect anything else than telecommunication thingies to it
09:23
(i highly doubt that tho)
Avatar
I use it to connect to Internet, because my Wi-Fi is bad as well
09:25
so I either get a new device (and preferably not a PC, because I often need to move it, and we often have power outages "thanks" to 🇷🇺), or I get a broken main laptop
09:27
and even if I succeed in making a dual-boot, I don't think Linux and GTX 1050 will be friends
Avatar
why not? nvidia graphics cards work fine on linux IME
Avatar
what is your distro and GPU?
Avatar
arch linux, some old nvidia GPU with nvidia's linux drivers
Avatar
lmaooo
Avatar
I would recommend against arch linux if you want to try dual-booting from the same disk as windows
Avatar
i wasn't going to use Arch in any case

nvidia worked fine on any linux distro that i've tried (GTX 1050ti) (edited)

and your distros are?

arch ^^

(nvidia also worked fine for me on ubuntu and fedora, but I tried other linux distros like 10 years ago)

i used ubuntu, NixOS, Arch and linux mint

like what does it block exactly
good question, why the fuck would we need a paid adblocker lmao
11:16
even Brave, a free browser has it's own free adblocker built in
11:17
Mullvad, my favourite browser has even better privacy and adblocking functionality, all for free
Avatar
I suggest using firefox (also on mobile)
11:21
chrome (and likely its derivatives, too) is dropping support for some ad blocking with its manifest v3 migration
Avatar
Not like those browsers wouldnt make their own versions of chromium just to avoid trouble
Avatar
brave and mullvad?
11:35
I wouldn't bet on it, they are using chromium for the reason that they can't maintain their own browser
Avatar
firefox would be a downgrade tho :/
11:37
also firefox shows ads on the welcome page
11:38
but as soon as ublock actually breaks for whatever browser, it is dead for me
Avatar
???
Replying to @Jupstar ✪ also firefox shows ads on the welcome page

Yes, what is your question?

I haven't seen any ads on Firefox' welcome page
12:11
What are you talking about?

the overview page

The overview page? What is this?

the page that opens when u open a new tab

dis?

yes that

those are adds??

apparently milkey disabled them in the settings whose icon is in the top right corner
12:13
but by default it does show ads yeah

sponsored shortcuts?

exactly and "news" thing is on by default too

"news"???

i just tested it

I have the current Firefox installed

I also had installed it from a Flatpak - no ads whatsoever

ok anyway, that is the fact for me
12:20
even if it's just a german thing
12:20
it happens for me

We should ask meloŋ probably

fresh installed firefox for me

what's the version of firefox

when you click on settings do you have option recommended stories?

i can manually disable them yes

but to be very clear again, it's default on

3rd is newest activities

In any case, you can just disable them?

I have to disable them yes
12:27
So it's at least currently worse than on chromium
Avatar
But if you can disable them, what's the problem?
Avatar
i fixed my mic problems when installed debian i don't even use chrome
Avatar
i get a worse browser with worse experience
12:29
it's the only linux app i ever installed that actively gave me ads

I get a worse browser with worse expirience when that browser is based on Chromium

Except for, well, uBlock origin

sure if you have an extension you need that only works there, fine
12:31
i use ublock origin

it, at least now, currently works as good on chromium as it does on firefox

cant see any difference

but what didnt work out well

ublock?

Generally speaking, I mean, the adblocks worked well
Replying to egyt I tried using ungoogled-chromium and Falkon, it didn't work out well

See if you like firefox, because mozilla is less shady than google, and google is a massive monopoly.. fine
12:33
i agree witht hat
12:33
but there is a reason ppl like chromium based browsers
12:33
they are faster by default and have everything a "normal" person needs
Avatar
Well, they were actually slower for me lol
Avatar
but the benchmarks clearly show evidence against that
12:34
so why should it magically be worse for you
Avatar
idk myself
Avatar
did u build in debug mode or what
12:35
They just work slower, and I don't know why
Avatar
i think u just did not test
12:47
and had some predisposed bias
12:47
placebo effect made it feel slower
12:48
because you do not have the only x86 device where firefox is somehow faster than chrome
