Maybe you have hard links or sparse files in your source directory. Try with -H for hard links first. You can try with --sparse but I think hard links are more likely.

I'm a bit surprised an Nvidia 9x0 would struggle for web browsing. On a PC this old I would first check other things before swapping the GPU:
- Is it clean? Physically clean? Restricted air flow can make your CPU throttle down to avoid getting too hot.
- Is the operating system on an SSD or a spinning disk? I'm sure prices are insane nowadays but a small data SSD just for the OS will dramatically improve performance.
- How much RAM do you have? Again, prices are not good right now, but 8GiB is the minimum to run a modern desktop+browser.
- Do you have the proprietary drivers installed? I haven't touched an Nvidia GPU on Linux in a long time, but I would expect those to be basically mandatory for a smooth experience.
As for the GPU, if you are not gaming on big modern titles, anything released in the last ten years should be enough. I had a good experience with AMD over this era for out of the box Linux compatibility, but I can't say much about codecs, I never had issues and never bothered to check.
Intel is probably good enough also.
Another thing to consider is maybe your CPU has a built-in GPU, I use low/mid-range Intel CPU from this era without a discrete GPU as an HTPC and it performs fine.
Putting Cheney on the Left is just wild, I had to check her Wikipedia page and there is absolutely nothing remotely leftist in any of her positions and actions.
Isn't that a question about work culture?
How that's weird, because I can name it under it's french name "attrap' souris" (literally "catch mouse") but this implies it was originally themed with burglars.
I remember begging my parents, at the age of 12, for the cash to put together my first gaming-capable PC.
When I was a teenager in the nineties in France, it was a big deal that there was some PCs under 10000 francs (~1500€). PC parts pricing has been rough for years.
Was there really a time when a decent budget gaming PC could be built so cheap compared to middle class income? I'm not saying it's not getting worse, but I'm wondering if the past is not idealized.
And this figure is bullshit, streaming is not a very energy intensive activity. It's so much bullshit that the original estimate mixed up bit and bytes giving a 8x overestimation.
This IEA estimation place the final figure at around 100m of driving, and that is even less if your local grid has a low carbon footprint. And they conclude that in most cases the actual footprint comes from the viewing device itself.

Datacenter energy use is concerning but it's not because of streaming itself.
5km in an hour is a brisk walk. In 45 minutes it's probably closer to a jog. It's not super human but it's not a normal walking pace.
The bio literally says "parody account".
No it's not, other Unix were on the list until 2017, there was even some Windows and macos for a time.
Some have thousands but yes.on most of these systems :
- Process launch and scheduling is done by a resource manager (SLURM is common)
- Inter process communication uses an MPI implementation (like OpenMPI)
- These inter node communications uses a low latency (and high bandwidth) network. This is dominated by Infiniband from Nvidia (formerly Mellanox)
What's really peculiar in modern IT, is that it often use old school Unix multi user management. Users connect to the system through SSH with their own username, use a POSIX filesystem and their processes are executed with their own usernames.
There is kernel knobs to pay attention to, but generally standard RHEL kernels are used.

The more you look at it, this more shitty it is.
Special mention for the U "scale". Numbers are in order, so... good job I guess.
