So don’t you think you’ve come full circle and invented Bazzite again?

Damn, 50TB is not that much to depend on an external vendor, especially for archival purposes. Even I have ~40TB clanker disks shoved on my NAS at home.

This might eat into your weekend but, if you have a stronger PC somewhere at home, you should def consider streaming games from it instead of getting capped into 30fps. Just try Steam Remote Play (recently updated, no setup) or try Sunshine (or one of the forks, Vibeshine / Vibepollo / Moonshine / Polaris) & Moonlight.

It’s been downhill since Metro design (which was just beautiful on mobile phones)

Gotta shamelessly plug my Mastodon thread, but there are lots of great forks:

What’s happening with Remote Play lately is good and nice but without headless/virtual display option on the server side, it doesn’t make much sense.

On both Linux and Windows, you can’t capture full range HDR without your physical display also supports it. 99% of the gaming monitors only goes up to 400 nits, whereas the Deck offers 1000 nits and, if you use the Deck as the middleman, TVs can go up to 2000.

That being said, there are many Sunshine forks that goes around those (and many more) limitations by spawning a full fledged virtual display, and that’s the way it is.

Oh it’s Slitherine’s own store/launcher you meant. That was a nice piece of software as well, you’re right.

As per VibeShine and Duo on Windows, yes that’s possible. But Polaris is still on it’s baby steps, so I’d expect some wonk for a while now.

What’s a Matrix?

While we’re in this topic, YSK about Polaris as well, a Linux native headless streaming server which also boasts a handful of great other features.

Edit: Snatching the top comment didn’t felt right so: I’ve tried the newest Remote Play. It’s definitely snappier. Stats say video latency is under a frame now (at 120 fps) when set up properly. But latency’s still even lower with Vibepollo (~half a frame). So good job to Steam people, Remote Play finally making sense for everyday Steam users, but there’s still some space for improvements.

They’re trying hard to look like “good guys” ahead of their IPO.

Everybody heard their recent breakup with Pentagon but ignoring they were happily engaged with the War Machine before the breakup. They’re still serving Palantir, Blackrock, NSA and god knows who else.

While it’s a very cool project, running a gaming setup on a Docker container felt very clunky to me. Somehow I fear it would add latency (input or output), then again even if so it should be negligible.

Then can you walk us around the maintenance, like what do you do when there’s a GPU driver update, do you rebuild the image?

If you’re looking for a Windows solution, check VibePollo. It’s also offering a headless, isolated streaming solution plus a lot more.

They were hiring Linux security experts to port their anti-cheat stuff a few months ago. Turned out fruitful it seems.

In turn Apple went ‘oh fuck what’s an AI now’ and turned out to be the winners. Who would’ve guessed huh.

What’s an Overheard, did he means “Overhead”?

Last time I checked it’s neither salaries, nor overhead, nor executive budgets, but it’s the PR efforts that spend the most chunk. This shithead trying to load that over the shoulder of developers and not advertising teams.

Windows Central should be advocating for return of Windows Phone.

Lynch was a musician himself, composing what I would call experimental stuff, and collaborated with pioneer Brian Eno, Moby, Father John Misty, David Bowie, Lykke Li and much more. He’s really into sound design as well. A true artist, I would say.

Won’t you consider board game classics? Catan, Munchkin, Ticket to Ride, Exploding Kittens, Wingspan etc. are pretty good choices, albeit not “solo”, all have free/online versions somewhere.

Also check BoardGameGeek for “solo games”. Their ranking are most often pretty spot on.

I was checking just a few hours ago. Just in time, cool!
