USD has inflated, but I don’t think it’s been that strong.

Can you ping the server through your tunnel? Maybe try a traceroute to see if it gets through your router correctly.

If this does work, check if the arrs have some “restrict to local network” setting.

If not, I’d check the firewall logs on your router to see if it is blocking the connection.

If their claims are true, I’d say this is a decent upgrade from my RX 6600 XT and I’m very likely buying one.

Ah thanks, it’s been a while since I played and I never did without mods.

You can disable that with mods

4. Adjust monitor top edge to your eye hight or slightly above (tilt monitors up a bit)
5. Occasionally stand up

To be fair, this is mainly a US issue. VLC (French) has provided h264 encoders and decoders for years.

If you have your own music collection, I can really recommend normalising everything to a LUFS value of your choosing. (A common value is -14 LUFS for most streaming services Source)

Note there are two types of normalising, dynamic and linear. Linear is what you want as it’ll only move the average loudness to your target, preserving the difference between the quietest and loudest parts. Dynamic normalization squashes the quietest and loudest parts into a narrower range.

Did you set the correct block size for your disk? Especially modern SSDs like to pretend they have 512B sectors for some compatibility reason, while the hardware can only do 4k sectors. Make sure to set ashift=12.

Proxmox also uses a very small volblocksize by default. This mostly applies to RAIDz, but try using a higher value like 64k. (Default on Proxmox is 8k or 16k on newer versions)

The VLC thing is specifically about software patents on AVC, HEVC and other codecs. Most of Europe doesn’t recognize software patents, so anyone can implement an AVC or HEVC encoder and decoder if they want to.
