To be fair, this is the first time he died in the sub...

I wonder who owns the content posted on Lemmy. I haven’t seen it explicitly called out as Creative Commons or any other license.

+1 to using a subdomain. You’ll probably have a much better time even if you get a path working.

I at least suspect there will be a community porting some variant of SteamOS to the more popular handhelds.

I’m glad to see there is now a free version of Plex Amp. This is, by far, my favorite way to stream my music library.

Before I got a Deck I thought the hype could not be real. It’s over a year later and I still can’t put it down.

+1 If you can't clearly state why you need Windows, you'll probably be happier on Steam OS.

If you aren't attached to Ansible, I suggest using Docker to host Lemmy. I found it's instructions, using Docker Compose, to be quite straight forward.

My other 2 cents is that hosting on Windows isn't worth the hassle and there will be a lot less to debug on Ubuntu if you're already comfortable with it.

Nostr gets rid of the notion of servers and admins. At a high level everyone on nostr owns their own account (no central instance). When you want to post something you send your content to a list of relays you choose.

Other people can choose what relays they want to subscribe to.

Relays can block people from subscribing or posting.

Everything is cryptographically secured so there is no way for someone to pretend to be you.

Lemmy is different where the instance admin has complete control. Admins can post as you and users cannot easily migrate to a different server.

In a similar vain, enabling ssh and using that for config or moving files around has saved me a lot of typing.

I find this really useful for small instances that don’t have a large communities tab.

You do need valid TLS and a cert can’t be directly issued on an IP.

Hopefully large instances keep federating with the small, self-hosted ones. I’m not sure how to check but I think really small instances still have the most reach.

Diablo IV runs great on the Steam Deck and low-end PCs. I’d lean toward PC since you don’t need to pay every month for for online access and it will work on your PC and Deck.

+1 The provider you choose has complete control of your account. You only have access when their server is up. They control updates.

If they don’t have good backups you could lose everything. It may be unpopular but I think most would be wise to pick one of the already established major instances.

Sounds like you need some more hobbies to throw at it. :-)

You could always inflate the numbers by giving it artificial load but I imagine that breaks a ToS somewhere.

Were you using yuzuEA?

The other thing that helps is increasing the VRAM to 4GB.

If it helps, I took mine apart this last weekend with no issues whatsoever.

Diablo IV runs really well on the Steam Deck.

That sounds like a good description of half the mobile games.

I use Steam + Proton in an LXC so I can share the graphics card among several other containers. It works quite well with streaming once I got it set up.

Theoretically I agree with you, but I finally broke down and changed mine due to some instability and I haven’t had a problem since.

It’s completely possible that’s just placebo since my understanding of how it should work says you are right.

If there is a vulnerability in the software, it’s entirely possible for a single attack to take everyone down. All the instances are known and easily discovered.

It’s not great but if you copy the URL into your instance’s search, you can get to the post that way.

I second this. I used to use Raspberry Pis but one mini PC can do so much more and isn’t much more expensive.

Most of the time it's pretty simple to play non-Steam games. It's made even better with Decky and SteamGridDB.

I started with my self-hosted Mastodon instance but quickly realized that just added noise. Self-hosting Lemmy was pretty simple and now I run both.

The resource needs for a small Lemmy instance are quite low and practically nothing compared to my Mastodon instance.

You’re missing out ;-)

I’d use some sort of generative “find on page” or “summarize page” where I could have a quick Q/A without needing to read a long article.

This is correct. Other servers will not connect with you if you don’t have a valid certificate.

It’s been two days and it just showed up in my active feed!

I’d love to see feedback from admins on the scaling problems they are having. Hopefully that scales per server and not per user per server.

The vast majority of servers run Linux and the simplest way to deploy services is with containers. Unix and Windows are much less supported and even running outside containers is fading away.

If you are interested, it may be simpler to spin up a small Linux VM.

SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I. I play a lot of Diablo IV and Forza Horizon 5 and the loading screens are much faster.

My observation is that the SD card tops out around 30mb/s.

With Plex you can go to https://app.plex.tv from your work computer and steam from your browser. That said, if you can install software, Plexamp is a great way to listen to and rediscover your music.

I find debuggers are used a lot more on confusing legacy code.

Lately, monitoring tools such as OpenTelemetry have replaced a lot of my use of profilers.

I run my own FreshRSS and it’s been a great experience.

I belive it’s a kbin thing. There is an issue open for it here.

No typo. I had my games on a 1TB microSD card and now they are on a 2TB SSD.
