I’ve answered to a sibling comment, but I’ll duplicate here. Hydra is not read-only and works really well on iOS.

Hydra works really well on iOS. It’s not read only, full usage.

And it behaves and looks really similar to the Lemmy client I use (Voyager). Unsure if they share some of the codebase or if they both just try to imitate Apollo.

I’ve listened to him quite a lot in ~2010, then learned about his YouTube channel when it started popping off, but only recently made the connection that it’s the same person.

I went to look at his Wiki page now, and apparently he also released music as Acidwolf, Human Action Network, and FlexE. TIL as well!

He also has a huge backlog of music as The Flashbulb

No legal issues afaik. The biggest issue was Bethesda dropping a huge update on Fallout 4 right before release that broke all the mods

It’s still available, there’s even an easy to install version on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/fallout_london

I do believe in Skyblivion coming out in a reasonable time frame a bit more than this one.

And we also have an example of Fallout London, which is arguably more ambitious

I’ll take things that didn’t happen for 500

there may be better alternatives, but migrating the WHOLE WORLD to a new system just because it’s slightly better is not gonna happen. hence - unsurprising.

the fact that imperial unit system still exists IS surprising though

same!

because by that logic steam controller 1 and steam controller 2 are also completely different devices and your past experience is inapplicable.

or we can accept that it was valve’s first foray into making hardware and they probably learned a thing or two in the last 10 years on how to make something that doesn’t fall apart. don’t quite understand how you can overlook what I’m saying

not completely. the deck had a lot of time to get trackpads and steam input right. and build quality is great on the deck, it’s a much more complex piece of hardware and it didn’t have too many issues for first revisions

It was bound to happen, since they started testing it more than a year ago. While I really hate this decision, I hate the linked blog more. It’s populist SEO slop that exists to advertise “that privacy guy”'s consultancy services. Measuring environment impact of the downloads, that’s your chosen angle here? Bleh.

yeah, but that was their first experience with hardware like this. there have been 2 steam decks since then.

I just realized this almost reads like a Terramaster ad, that’s not my goal; you can search for similar options from other fabricants.

I don’t mind that, I’m actively looking for recommendations. I also got pointed to https://www.minisforum.com/products/n5-air, but that one is 500 with no RAM at all, which is quite hefty.

So far I’m leaning towards trying to assemble something generic from used components, though I’m not quite sure what to pick best, motherboard being the hardest one.

As for TrueNAS - I might check it out if I do get off the shelf NAS, but I don’t imagine I’ll be using the Web UI much, to be honest. And I know about Jellyfin, I’m sticking to Plex just because I already have a lifetime Plex Pass and I like the app on my TV. If they keep shoving “community” features down my throat though - I’ll do the switch.

same. I’ll use vi if there’s nothing else available, but I default to nano if I can

ECC is not a hard requirement for me, but if I can get it - I’ll try to, as to me it makes sense for something that runs 24/7 and handles my personal data.

I have a very strong aversion to separating storage from my server. I just don’t see why I need to route power and network to 2 small boxes (none of which would do what I need it to do on its own + considering very crappy room layouts in rented apartments) and then fiddle with network access, when 1 slightly bigger box would do what I need it to do. Some 7-8 years ago I’ve bought dirt cheap second-hand Huananzhi x79 with Xeon E5 and DDR3-ECC with some low profile NVIDIA GPU and it all still works now - and something like that would mostly be OK for me even now (except I left it in another country).

That said, it’s possible a reasonably powerful NAS will be enough for me on its own?

storage box and a services box

That’s exactly what I want to avoid though. I see no reason to power and network 2 different small boxes when just one slightly bigger one will do. And as mentioned - 500 is without HDDs, I plan to use the ones I have for now and extend it later.

so - yes, there is a bypass for an indefinitely enabled apk installation with the annoyance of 24 hour wait when you first get the phone.

not great though, I agree.

I was not arguing against it functioning as a barebones xbox-like gamepad - that should’ve been done IMO. I was arguing against “splitting up SteamInput from Steam” - that would mean extracting all the fancy stuff too, and that’s the difficult part.

I play a ton of mouse driven games that don’t have gamepad support and it works great there. I would not even consider emulating the mouse with regular sticks, but with touchpad it’s very comfortable

so they would have to write and support a completely new userfacing application that would have to run on 3 different OSes and inject into games upon launch. a bit too much effort considering 99% of the audience will use it with Steam.
