https://njal.la is good in my experience

Nano (or pico). I had to use vi one time 😭

I would recommend Fedora or Pop!_os

Exciting! I remember commenting about the next Steam Deck being ARM a couple months ago and a few people replied that it was unlikely haha

Hope this can work in Asahi Linux at some point too 👀

It looks like they’re really going above and beyond with this feature, cool stuff

Cmacked but you’re going to have to deal with lots of ads and direct downloading

Kid named Chromebook

I’ve been using Sonnet 3.5 a lot recently. Does seem like it’s better and more creative than others for a lot of tasks. I also think it’s training set is up to April 2024 which is nice.

I’ve also found that GPT-4o is worse than GPT-4 in my experience. Seems to hallucinate more

This is just great! Tailscale is doing ALL the right things it seems. So happy to try this out

I use Mullvad through Tailscale. If you already use Tailscale it’s a no-brainer

I haven’t tried it on Linux, but I wouldn’t want to mod Skyrim without using Mod Organizer

I don’t recommend Oracle at all if you value your sanity. Paying a couple bucks a month for DigitalOcean or Vultr (or probably almost anything else) is so worth it compared to dealing with that monstrosity

Also, I’ve experienced this, and I’ve heard reports of others having the same issue; Oracle might just randomly delete/disable your VPS

I think a lot of people just haven’t heard of Caddy. Since I’ve found it I haven’t used anything else.

I kind of wonder if they would switch to ARM for the next one

I was thinking of having the next PC I build be used as a headless game streaming server. That way I could just stream to my Deck or MacBook, I wouldn’t have to setup web browser, download apps, sign into any accounts, etc since it would only be used to stream games.

I’ve never got great performance from any game streaming though

Is it kind of like KBin, Lemmy, and Mastodon are the frontends to ActivityPub which is the backend? But I wouldn’t be able to sign into “Mastodon” with my Lemmy account or vice versa, right?

This is like crowdstrike all over again

and I always advice to not use a different party for nameservers than the party that registered the domain.

Why is that? I register most of my domains at Porkbun, but I usually use Cloudflare’s nameservers as they seem to support more record types, have more features, and have a better UI than most registrars’ offerings.

I’ve also got all of my domains in Porkbun. I don’t use their nameservers though. I usually use cloudflare for that, so you could look into them, too.

Tailscale is great but I find it non trivial to run in conjunction with another VPN (Mullvad). Anyone have experience with this? Seems I can have only one or the other for iOS or macOS

Like the other commenter mentioned, ChatGPT can be really helpful for these kind of questions. I’m not sure if there’s any “starter guide” since everyone starts with different wants and needs.

I will say, you should look into Tailscale once you’ve got your services up and running on your home network. Tailscale makes it simple and secure to access those services from outside your home network without any port forwarding.

This game was an epic games exclusive. Consider skipping it or acquiring it through other means

It’s not a Termius alternative, but I found that after setting up Tailscale SSH on all my servers, I don’t really bother using Termius any more.

The plain macOS terminal looks better to me anyway

If you’re the only one connecting to the server, I would recommend something like Tailscale. Everything will be encrypted and you won’t need to forward any ports to the public internet.

If other people need to access it, an option might be https://hoppy.network. I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like it would be pretty slick if it works well.

Annoying marketing, harassing customers on Twitter (I know they at least made it up but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place), now selling hardware skins as loot boxes

I haven’t used EmuDeck since they’ve apparently revamped the installation process, but I think RetroDeck is (or at least was) a much cleaner installation since it’s just a flatpak. I’ve got it installed on my deck and it works fine. Not really using it atm

I’m trying to collect all the apps! I’ve got Mlem, Memmy, and Rennes and I signed up for the Artemis waitlist

Is it Steam Input?

DuckDNS is great, but you only need it if you have a dynamic IP. It’s worth checking if you have a static public IP before adding another layer of complexity.

I’ve had success with PowerDNS (PDNS). I like that it comes with a HTTP API and it’s got integrations with Caddy and other ACME clients if you need that.

I use the right pad instead of the right stick for any game that could use it for pointing/aiming. Really, the only ones I wouldn’t use it for are games that use the right stick for other stuff, like Skater XL or Session maybe

Thank you.

And created the firewall rules to forward (some) incoming traffic to my home server.

I guess this is the missing piece for me. I’ve already got all of my devices and VPSes setup with Tailscale, I’m just not sure which software to use that can do this forwarding.

I know Tailscale Funnels, Cloudflare Tunnels, and Caddy could be solutions for some, but in my experience they only do TCP or restrict what sort of traffic can be forwarded.

It’s supposed to suck!

Would WayDroid qualify as what you’re looking for?

What games are you using it for? I’ve used Mod Organizer 2 for Skyrim SE and it’s worked great on the deck

Yes, really haha. I don’t think I would consider the mod list I used heavy, at least not graphically. I didn’t use any of those programs you mentioned.

Trying to get MO2 to launch the Linux version of Skyrim running via Steam/Proton and not the Windows version of Steam running through WINE was a fun mess to deal with

I recall using some sort of script that installed MO2 and handled all of this (at least for the Steam Deck).

Either way, I hope their new cross-platform launcher works out well.

Is public key authentication not good enough? Tailscale is cool but can be tedious if you also use other VPNs

At that point? I’d just pirate. Streaming services are for convenience. Going to the library for a physical piece of media isn’t very convenient for me

So KBin isn’t Lemmy? But it federated with Lemmy? Also, I see Mastodon federated with Lemmy, but what’s the point of that?

I’ve not gotten one. I think macOS is less prone to viruses than Windows, but there’s always a risk.
