Ah bummer. That's most of my software tricks. I'd break out my hardware equipment next step, but that's pricy.

That PC should be able to play a stream just fine. I'd check if there background apps hogging resources and make sure hardware acceleration is active. Scale the resolution down (no point of upscaling 1080p content) and record to a lower resource intensive format, perhaps h.264 vs h 265/HEVC.
While I like to agree with that vision of decentralized social media, even here on lemmy we have our own pitfalls. Echo chambers are unchecked and defederation (even justified) happens.
I don't assume everyone here is a real person. There was a article recently that AI was training "persuasiveness" using reddit subreddits. I have to believe a similar trial exists on the fediverse least I be caught off guard.
Plus, there are a lot of folks here (it seems like a majority sometimes in my personal experience) that are quick to advocate violence/sabotage in lieu of negotiation and debate. That reaks of puppeteering; there can't be that many arseholes here, right?
I know I have some strong biases that lean towards peace, and I'm confused sometimes why a comment of mine in the fediverse gathers double digit upvotes steadily only to plummet to the negatives overnight. I get old reddit botnet vibes on some topics.
I suppose I want to like lemmy, the freedom, these communities, but it is still polarizing and influenceable by [insert tech/political/financial interests]. I don't trust this enough to recommend to friends and family, but my presence here makes it a fraction more what I want to be.
Whoa whoa now. A comb over is just hair immigration and he doesn't stand for that!
I use smokeping just for fun. It doesn't measure throughput, just latency, but they are loosely linked.
I have a cheap ZigBee thermostat and some automations to control temp. Works ok, but I'm trying to smarten it up a bit in the next few weeks.
You use more data on one iPhone via cell service than my entire family across 38 devices? Impressive! Though I'm not entirely sure which number you're suggesting is wrong.
Those emails have warned me something was pooched in advance many times. I do find them useful.
Sad to see them go, but nice they mention an alternative.
It's like a computer virus but spread by a human. Everything is becoming a Trump media megaphone. Hate and arguments are now good engagement analytics.
Prepare for a wave of unmoderated enshittification the likes of which has no rival.
Ahhh reminds me of my youth.
Tried to build these in our garage with PVC pipe, a blowtorch (to heat and bend tubes), and a shop vac.
Went about as well as you can imagine, but still had a blast.
Since you can't use GPU for rendering or recording, a faster CPU couldn't hurt and is probably your best bet, but it isn't really thaaaat old. (There being no other hardware bottlenecks of course)
There are, cough cough I think, ways to decrypt and record HDCP protected streams but I'd imagine you'd have to have a render unit and recording unit in your setup. Sort of complicated.
