  • I made a steam console

    Jump

  • See the other comment about what Sunshine and Moonlight are, but I wanted to toss in I use that, as well as a stand alone instance of Steam on my living room PC. My living room PC is noticeably weaker than my main PC, so for some games I stream them via Sunshine/Moonlight, but for a lot of indie titles I just run them right in the living room PC.

  • Please for gods sake dont use CasaOS

    Jump

  • I ended up with a device that shipped with it and replace it with Yunohost for a similarly beginner friendly experience that, so far, seems a whole lot more open.

  • Where do you go for audiobooks?

    Jump

  • bugmenot usually has a few working audiobookbay logins if you don’t want to deal with setting up an account

  • Where do you go for audiobooks?

    Jump

  • With my library card I got for free! With Libby and some web inspector magic you can rip them for offline listening too.

    If I really can’t find what I want I keep a myanonymouse account handy, and there’s the audiobookbay if I’m very desperate.

    Tattoo reccomendations?

  • As someone who changed their name, I’d also vouch for something more abstract in its symbolism of your connection to your kid. I struggled changing my name, let alone telling my parents, because of the value and attachment I knew my mom, honestly kind of arbitrarily, placed on that.

  • Has anyone had success putting ProtonVPN or any other VPN aside from MullvadVPN on Bazzite?

    Jump

  • Yup, using openVPN profiles. Proton VPN has quite clear instruction on how to do this on their website. Just do a search for “proton vpn openVPN profile Linux”

  • Hosting services on GitHub pages URL

    Jump

  • That was my guess. Just wanted someone that knows more than I do to confirm.

    Jump

  • Thank you for your explanation and info. Will be setting this up later tonight.

  • Mod managers for Linux?

    Jump

  • Depending on the game and comfort with bash scripting you can roll your own mod managers. I don’t really play Minecraft anymore, but if I did it would be heavily modded. In an effort to avoid installing a client/launcher beyond the one I already use I just keep folders for mod lists and configs, and then have bash scripts with aliases to do all the necessary file moving to swap between mod packs.

    This doesn’t really work for most other games, but for things that run natively on Linux can usually do the trick.

    For things running through proton it’s a bit more involved, but I also found a lot of satisfaction in figuring out how to manually install mods within the proton prefix. Used to have to do that a lot to mod Skyrim when it first came out and I got it running through wine on a school issued MacBook.

  • Has anyone migrated from a Markdown notes app to another?

    Jump

  • Obsidian-Syncthing user here. I agree with what someone else said about no feedback from syncthing that it is or is not done updating files. Beyond that though, it’s a great tool that handles all my notes well.

  • [solved] Is there a way to actually download a song from spotify (not just spotdl method of finding it on youtube)?

    Jump

  • There’s a ViolentMonkey script that uses Lucidia and provides you a download button next to songs in the Spotify web players.

  • MacOS Preview equivalent

    Jump

  • Yeah probably true. I’ve got some hopes for the work being done on running Mac apps on Linux, even tried getting an old version of preview working a while back, with absolutely zero success. The tool I was trying had incredibly limited support for graphical apps.

  • MacOS Preview equivalent

    Jump

  • It’s odd because I feel like it gets mixed up, very fairly due to its name, with MacOS “QuickLook”, which is the actual file previewing tool, giving a quick peek into a file by hitting ‘space’ with the file selected. Preview is essentially an image editor, but it doubles, or maybe triples, as PDF viewer/editor and scanner importer. The names are kinda silly tbh.

  • MacOS Preview equivalent

    Jump

  • Very fair, I updated the original post

  • MacOS Preview equivalent

    Jump

  • I’m already running Linux. I’m looking for an application that can run on Linux that roughly matches the feature set of MacOS Preview for image and PDF viewing and basic editing.

  • What's the future of screen capture on Linux?

    Jump

  • I use Sunshine/Moonlight, OBS, Discord screen share, all on Wayland and an AMD GPU. No issues, both on my old Arch install and now NixOS. Every now and then there’s some issues in the actual updates that get pushed to these things, but those aren’t usually specific to my system. For example just recently an update was pushed to the loopback module OBS uses for virtual camera, but the OBS update that utilized it hadn’t been pushed yet, so I got a crash.

  • Has anyone pirated their internet?

    Jump

  • See my reply to the other comment under mine. Though I’ll add I feel like I “got started” when I met a bunch of local amateur radio operators and we all got chatting about long distance, wireless data transfers, which would add a lot of resilience to a mesh system.

  • Has anyone pirated their internet?

    Jump

  • I’ve “started” but only so far as working on my home lab/server and home network. In theory if I get everything setup in advance, it’s as simple as getting some high gain WiFi antennas and getting other people to put their routers in bridge mode and configuring them to extend my network.

    That being said, I am building out my home server with this goal in mind. An effective mesh network will have multiple devices hosting redundant instances of all the services, and the more devices doing that the more resilient the network is. To that end I’ve taken to learning NixOS for the reproducibility. Because your system is declared in a single file, and hardware specific config is separated from that, I can turn any device into a node in the mesh simply by installing NixOS and pulling the config of an existing node.

    Eventually I’d love to basically build my own routers from single board computers and high gain antennas that I can just give to people. Basically a plug and play, preconfigured device that will pickup the existing mesh, or create a new origin node if not in range.

    The super long term dream or goal of this would be to include a very long range, slower connection between origins to trickle feed content changes. Depending on the dystopia we end up in, this could be done with crazy strong WiFi signals, radio, LoRa, or even (inspired by factorial logistics robots) gliders or drones that are themselves carrying mesh network nodes and fly over bubbles of mesh networks.

    It’s all kind of a pipe dream, but I’m at least educating myself for a time where more people begin to realize the World Wide Web as we know it is crumbling.

  • Has anyone pirated their internet?

    Jump

  • Exactly the opposite in fact. I aspire to host the exit node! I’d love for my whole neighborhood to mesh our networks together and form an Intranet of self hosted services. It’s a massive uphill battle in suburbia, but I have high hopes for similar projects in my local city proper.

  • What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

    Jump

  • I watched a lengthy video essay about this movie that really made me want to watch it. Was definitely shocked by the level of thought put into the symbolism within the film.
