Nvidia dropped support for Kepler GPUs with 470xx series driver. And that driver still doesn't have GBM support, so you can't use modern Wayland compositors without EGL streams support. I still have a couple of Kepler GPUs that are quite a bit more... Continue Reading

A few months ago I've tried to host an Ace of Spades server on a raspberry pi 4. It kinda worked and there was no lag during the game, but map loading took too much time, so players got disconnected between rounds. I stopped trying to solve that issue... Continue Reading
