That feels like a great use-case! I don’t have a wired connection so the bandwidth usage makes it a no-go for me probably, but you’ll have to post about your experience when/if you give it a shot!

Firefox is also the last “major browser” that isn’t based on Chromium. Just another contemporary example of how market consolidation and monopolization harms consumers!

Migrating my workflow to NixOS right now, and it’s really made me realize just how good Arch Wiki is. NixOS and Nix are a bit disjointed in terms of documentation and learning resources. But Arch Wiki usually helps me gain intuition for which software does what and what traits I’m able to configure.

Non-Arch-Linux Linux users should absolutely consider the Arch Wiki when troubleshooting or learning about the Linux ecosystem! I’m not sure there’s a better broadly-applicable resource out there.

I heard one perspective about how LPDDR5X isn’t in as high of demand as DDR5, so maybe the frame will be less impacted than the Steam Machine?

Is it a cope? Time will tell…

Redownloaded Overwatch recently. Haven’t played since before OW2.

Nowadays I have much more mechanical skill than I previously did, but I also don’t know half of the characters now.

It’s weird being most valuable to my team by playing DPS. I’m lucky too that I had some friends who play healer and tank, ngl.

Inb4 Bambu forks the code

I think you can upload a video file to your instance? Idk if that’s the only way to have it embed nicely tho

Co-founder by legal title (obtained as part of a settlement), not by, you know, co-founding.

Like how he’s the chief engineer of SpaceX. With no qualifications.

Oh well, at least his Path of Exile account was probably legit. /s

On modern devices (pretty much anything that supports 5Ghz) it feels rock solid to me. I can forget I’m streaming. Even my old laptop from like 2013 gave me really good results. In my case I usually stream to something in the same room as that router, so ymmv.

I’ve tried the moonlight homebrew on my “New 3DS” though, which only has 2.4Ghz WiFi, and had less success, even with the ridiculously low resolution. I usually can play for a minute or two, but as soon as there’s one lag spike it’s like it can’t catch back up. I need to try it again though, a recent update may have helped, I just didn’t test it thoroughly. But that’s, like, pretty niche haha!

My solution: I have a second, older (wifi 5 tho) router in access point mode plugged into my computer’s Ethernet port, and when my pc is on it forwards internet from its wifi connection to it. When I’m streaming to a device, it is the only device connected to that network. That also lets my computer have a wired connection to the router.

Additionally, I analyzed the network utilization near me to find which WiFi channels had the least congestion. Tbh tho, as long as the channel is different from your main router, you’d probably be fine.

I originally set it up for streaming wireless pcvr to my Quest 2, but I’ve found it works perfectly with Sunshine + Moonlight.

+1 for OpenSCAD! If you have experience with scripting/coding, it feels really comfy. There’s a nice wikibook that taught me the basics.

The full release hasn’t been updated since 2021, so I highly recommend running a development snapshot. The preview and rendering are much more performant. Enable the “manifold” engine if it’s not on by default.


It works fine OOTB, but I customized it a bit to match my workflow: I use vim with an LSP as the text editor, and I use git to track my changes.

Now I’ve began using bosl2 in most of my projects. It has a lot of QOL features and can save a lot of work.

Whooo!!! That’s really good news for me, I was bummed to miss out on the first drop

 

Rant:

I am at work (food service) so I wasn’t able to just step away to order a Steam Controller. I started trying to a few minutes after launch and had to deal with Steam’s Mobile Authenticator bullshit (why can’t I use a different 2FA app?!?). Anyways I had customers and responsibilities so I had to put it away until I got a quiet second.

By the time I had a chance to run to the bathroom, about 50 minutes after its launch, the “checkout” button for my cart wasn’t working. So I went to the previous page, and it was sold out.

I’m so bummed; I’ve been essentially obsessing over it since the release date was announced. The wireless puck was a huge pull for me, because my DualShock 4 wireless USB adapter broke (some device’s usb must’ve supplied it bad voltage I think?), and the price to get a new one of those at this point just doesn’t make for me. Also a local electronics repair store pretty much told me to screw off, cuz of the price of the dongle.

Bluetooth isn’t as responsive, and repairing for each device is a PITA. Plus other features of the Steam Controller were exciting for me! Super disappointed.
