    Not quite HDR, similar but different.

    4:4:4 refers to chroma subsampling. Essentially how much bandwidth is available for chroma and luma. 4:4:4 allows for an 4x2 array of pixels to each be unique colors, which isn’t possible with 4:2:2 or 4:2:0.

    It’s a feature you really want when using a 4k TV for a monitor (as I am) because without it, text can be very fuzzy and difficult to read. Especially certain color combinations (i.e. red-on-black, as Konsole will do when there’s an error).


  • Can I ask for help here?

    I’ve got 3 displays, right…a 1080p75 and a 4k60/444 on my Nvidia GeForce 1660, and a 1080p60 on my onboard graphics (AMD).

    Works reasonably under X11, but can’t get 4k60 (only 30) in Wayland. And not really sure I’ve got 4:4:4, either. Seems prime-select keeps forgetting my setting in Wayland, too.

    I’m using tumbleweed with plasma as my desktop.








  • I do aliases through simplelogin and have my domain hosted on mxroute.

    My domain is my real last name…so I have subdomains like @myfirst.lastname.com gets pointed to simplelogin for aliases, which then forwards to mxroute. @mywifesfirst.lastname.com goes to the same simplelogin and points to her Gmail for now.

    Mxroute is cheap and they’ve got decent web apps but really more made for traditional IMAP clients. And they don’t really do groupware…just email. But that’s really the hardest part, from an admin perspective.

    Adminning email is getting to be a sacred art. It’s a lot of work and a constant arms race both against incoming spam, and the spam filters for whoever you are sending to. A whole ton of work for what is really an essential Internet service (when I can’t get into my credit card account because enom is slacking on forwarding mail, it’s a problem…and also why I switched to simplelogin).

    For how cheap mxroute is, IMO, absolutely not worth the effort of self-hosting unless it’s actually your day job and you get some sick sadistic pleasure out of doing it on your own time.

    The mxroute admin/owner himself also seems like a pretty chill guy. He’s been pretty forward and transparent on Reddit and lowendbox.

    Edit to add: important stuff…make sure that you have an email address that you don’t host, to access stuff you need to for the stuff that you do (i.e. DNS, mail hoster, MFA provider, directory service, etc). I use a free proton for that.
