I like the little GOG in the corner. Not really competing with Steam so much, but not actively destroying itself either (although I’d like to see an official Linux client).

Kernel 7.3 should help here, with VRAM management patches coming that will help with low VRAM GPUs. It’s not released yet, however.

Should work with any application that either uses Vulkan directly, or is converted to Vulkan by a translation layer. Which is almost everything by default except OpenGL, but that can be converted to as well using Zink.

But whether it has a beneficial effect (and how much) will depend on the application, whether you are GPU limited, your monitor config, and so on.

An interesting technical dive into input latency on Linux, both locally and concerning network streaming.

For tailscale, unless you need different ACLs for every user, you could instead have additional friends share a single user and then you’re only limited by the quite high device cap. Or self-host headscale on a VPS and then there are no user limits.

If you’re in the US, it’s because all of the major ISPs siphoned up much of the ipv4 address space so they can still offer it to everyone.

In Australia, on the other hand, most ISPs provide CGNAT by default, although most of them offer a free opt-out and have ipv6. Mobile services are also typically CGNAT, although many offer ipv6 + 464XLAT (an ipv4 compatibility mode using ipv6).

In developing countries some sort of ipv6 solution is almost universal, particularly those with higher populations such as India, since it would cost an absurd amount of money to buy up that amount of ipv4 address space today.

Have you tried koreader? It’s not perfect, but if the screen is large enough it normally works pretty well. I use it on a Kobo reader, but it works on Android as well (not sure about iOS).

This website is like 10 years old from memory, well before grid-scale batteries were widespread (well they still aren’t in many countries).

You can always self host forgejo, but yeah, codeberg is an opinionated place, I suspect primarily due to resource constraints. Not a github replacement and not really trying to be.

I integrate Miniflux with readeck, which is then combined with a readeck plugin for koreader, allowing me to easily read articles on my ereader, without relying on a paid service.

I’m also one of those people that still uses custom ROMs on Android, and since the backup and restore situation is still kind of dire if you don’t use Google (and sometimes even with) it’s easier to have most of my configuration and state stored on a server, and so I can wipe a phone with relatively little risk.

I know this wasn’t your main point, but I never found Gentoo to be unmanageable, just that compiling everything can get a bit tiresome.

I’d still be using it were it not for NixOS, and declarative system management in particular.

You could use tailscale or netbird. Alternatively, you can use a dynamic DNS provider which usually provide free subdomains, if you don’t want to pay for a domain. And even with all of that, Jellyfin doesn’t require HTTPS, although there may be clients that do (make sure you’re behind a VPN in this case).

The only annoyance for this approach is that these dongles tend to be proprietary, and you might not even be able to get a replacement if it’s damaged depending on the model.

It’s possibly a pipewire issue, which seems to get in a bad state sometimes (particularly after resuming from suspend/hibernation) and results in symptoms like this.

You can try:

systemctl --user restart pipewire wireplumber pipewire-pulse

Assumes you’re using systemd, and that pipewire is configured using a normal user. The names of the services could differ, and restarting all of those may not be necessary.

Although, this assumes the issue happens with Steam and Heroic etc too. If it’s just happening with faugus, it’s probably a different issue.

Thanks for drawing attention to this. I’ve been having issues with finicky gamepad hotplugging of late and I suspect this is the cause.

I had a quick look and the AI features that are added:

• LLM driven tagging suggestions
• Remote OCR (Azure AI)

They do look to be optional at least. I’d probably be a bit more concerned if the code was largely written with LLMs, given the large number of commits in what looks to be only a few months.

Effective as of the end of this sentence. This sentence I’m speaking right now. Period.

VMs are frequently blocked by anti-cheat implementations, unfortunately, so no guarantee it will work.

Right, a game console, such as the Steam Machine. And unlike traditional game consoles, you have options if Sony / Microsoft etc decide to increase prices or remove games from your existing library at will. Especially now that physical discs are going away.
