Running DAZ Studio (and dForce/Iray) on Linux — a distro-agnostic guide

DAZ Studio is a Windows application. On Linux it runs under Wine, and with a bit of extra plumbing you can get:

• The DAZ Install Manager (DIM) and DAZ Studio itself running well
• Iray GPU rendering (CUDA/OptiX) via NVIDIA's Windows drivers-under-Wine
• dForce cloth/hair simulation, which depends on OpenCL
• A content library that survives Linux's case-sensitive filesystem

Running games through Steam's Proton is great. But what if there is a secondary exe or configuration application bundled with the game? How can you launch it if Steam itself only launches the game?

Simply run this command in a terminal:

cd /path/to/steam/steamapps/compatdata/20920/pfx

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/path/to/steam/steamapps/compatdata/20920" WINEPREFIX=$PWD \
    "$HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/proton" run ./drive_c/path/to/custom_application.exe

rclone systemd service

Preparation

This service will use the same remote name you specified when using rclone config create. If you haven't done that yet, do so now.

Next, create the mountpoint for your remote. The service uses the location ~/mnt/<remote> by default.

mkdir ~/mnt/dropbox

Tuning Intel Skylake and beyond for optimal performance and feature level support on Linux:

Note that on Skylake, Kabylake (and the now cancelled "Broxton") SKUs, functionality such as power saving, GPU scheduling and HDMI audio have been moved onto binary-only firmware, and as such, the GuC and the HuC blobs must be loaded at run-time to access this functionality.

Enabling GuC and HuC on Skylake and above requires a few extra parameters be passed to the kernel before boot.

Instructions provided for both Fedora and Ubuntu (including Debian):

Note that the firmware for these GPUs is often packaged by your distributor, and as such, you can confirm the firmware blob's availability by running:

Low-Latency Live Streaming for your Desktop using ffmpeg and netcat:

Preamble:

In this post I will explore how to stream a video and audio capture from one computer to another using ffmpeg and netcat, with a latency below 100ms, which is good enough for presentations and general purpose remote display tasks on a local network.

The problem:

Streaming low-latency live content is quite hard, because most software-based video codecs are designed to achieve the best compression and not best latency. This makes sense, because most movies are encoded once and decoded often, so it is a good trade-off to use more time for the encoding than the decoding.

FFmpeg and libav's playbook: Advanced encoding options with hardware-based acceleration, NVIDIA's NVENC and Intel's VAAPI-based encoder.

Hello guys,

Continuing from this guide to building ffmpeg and libav with NVENC and VAAPI enabled, this snippet will cover advanced options that you can use with ffmpeg and libav on both NVENC and VAAPI hardware-based encoders.

For ffmpeg:

Using VAAPI's hardware accelerated video encoding on Linux with Intel's hardware on FFmpeg and libav

Hello, brethren :-)

As it turns out, the current version of FFmpeg (version 3.1 released earlier today) and libav (master branch) supports full H.264 and HEVC encode in VAAPI on supported hardware that works reliably well to be termed "production-ready".
