I wish I had my Minecraft hours. I’ve been playing since Beta on PC across many PCs. I bought it on Xbox 360, separately for Xbox One, and Android. I think I would compete with some of the WOW players here tbh…

I use an AMD GPU and I stream to my Quest 2 a lot. I’ve only had one app have issues ever. It was Google Earth VR which I understand that they quit developing. I have never noticed latency either…

IDK about the topic of him being an asshole. I don’t follow him like, at all.

But, I might argue about the server arena part. From my understanding, (not in the field, so feel free to prove me wrong), but Azure, AWS, and others are built on Linux. Right? Just the two sites are a very massive percentage of the internet.

Mobile, again I might be wrong. Android is a fork of Linux or runs the Linux kernel. Is that right?

With Steam Deck it’s gained ground there too. Sure. It’s still not even close to Windows. But, progress is exciting anyways.

Then you aren’t the audience I guess.

Sounds a lot like Beeper… beeper apps for Android and iPhone in addition to desktop though.

Seems like using a window manager could be a whole rabbit hole. Where do you begin?

A file system that reports file corruption. I believe ZFS is one of those? I’m not really familiar with how that works

Okay, but how do you monitor the issues with reading and writing?

It also depends on the audience. A lot of people might not be comfortable installing a different OS. Steam Deck is ready out of the box.

Personally, I have installed many OSes many times, so I am comfortable doing it to a handheld device. But the inputs on the Steam Deck would stop me from buying any alternatives. SD has so many options, full Xbox layout, track pads in either side, four paddles on the back, gyro, and the two “menu buttons”. And they all feel super premium!

The last thing I’ll say is about the support of all of this. I have only owned two valve made physical products at this point, Steam Deck and Steam Link. The updates for Steam Link continued far after the product was discontinued. The amount of bugs on the Steam Deck that were fixed via an update the day following it’s report is truly astonishing. I have owned 3-4 ASUS ROG products and after the last keyboard I owned (how do you messup a keyboard?!?!) I decided it would take some serious innovation to get me to buy another product of theirs again. I have also owned two different models of GPD win, very unimpressed but the quality of the inputs so I sold them very fast. I can’t speak to any other handheld but I can say I feel very comfortable with Steam backing the Deck.

That’s such a big thing. Linux is better for a handheld. I used to own a couple of GPD Win’s and Windows made it so frustrating so I just sold them. With my Steam Deck I have found very few games I couldn’t play on Linux. I actually can’t think of a single example that isn’t a competitive multiplayer game. But, personally I didn’t buy a handheld for competitive multiplayer…

Let me know if you figure it out!

I also host VPS for lots of things. However, I don’t think that’s what you want here. I think you are really looking for two separate things. VPN for torrenting and bypassing geographic restrictions. Spot on. Go with a cheap VPN that allows torrenting and have fun.

Now, you want to do the media sharing thing with Jellyfin. Using a commercial VPN doesn’t help here. It’s only protecting you from giving your IP address to people you share Jellyfin with. But, if you trust them to share a service from your local network, you should probably trust them with your IP. Puting it on a VPN still leaves your Jellyfin exposed on the open internet where anyone can try to break in. It’s just not your local IP. Does that make sense?

Because of the above, I would say to port forward on your home internet instead. However, I don’t suggest this either! Even if you are super knowledgeable, it’s best to not expose anything to the internet unless you have to. Jellyfin is pretty safe, but the best thing would be to use you want a VPN. So, I am a little confusing haha! Separate to the commercial VPN in the first part, you should setup a VPN where your network is the private network. I would highly suggest Wireguard. You can do all the setup and it’s a little overwhelming. Or you can try Tailscale which uses Wireguard but it does all of the configuration for you. It is a paid product but for your needs I highly doubt you would fall out of the free plan.

You don’t need to do the reverse proxy part of that either btw.

That’ll show you how to share with family/friends

Seems like you are already in the right place. Find a community in Lemmy called LLMs, AI, or whatever else is appropriate and post.if the community is dead you might be the person that brings it to life :)

What about second breakfast??

Thank you for sharing. What an interesting read!

I get that. It’s the only subscription that I pay for. But, I don’t really watch TV/movies/sports. Every night, when I lay in bed the first thing I do is open YouTube on my TV. Everyone has a preference.

Crazy? I was crazy once.

Ever release is broken and they care less and less the more money that they get. That’s my problem. Not that I don’t have nostalgia or don’t genuinely still enjoy the games

Kbin. It federates with Lemmy but I like it better so far.
