If only AMD would catch up with raytracing, DLSS, compute, and HDMI 2.1...
Everytime I think about switching to AMD these things always hold me back. There isn't a solution where you can throw money at the problem, unfortunately.
Man Starfield's nowhere near as bad as Jedi Survivor, let's be honest. At least it runs well on my Steam Deck and doesn't stutter every 3 seconds like it does in Koboh in Jedi Survivor.
Imagine if they removed a mod that included pronouns.
A mod that makes other people feel included is NOT on the same level as a mod that deliberately excludes them. There's a massive difference here.
The pronoun removing mod is a pretty blatant message of hate and deserves to be moderated as such. People can go on about freedom of speech blah blah blah, but no one is required to include you in their community if you're being mean and hateful. That's exactly what happened here.
This is the wrong take tbh. It isn't about censorship. The mod itself is a message of hate and deserves to be moderated as such, just like on any other platform.
Imagine if you were scrolling through NexusMods and you saw a mod that removed characters of your ethnicity or race from the game, or maybe a mod that added say Nazi symbols or something. How would that make you feel? Mods get removed over inappropriate content all the time, this is no different.
OP might not be looking to make a full paid service considering he's just doing this for friends and relatives.
I get the sentiment though. I run a Jellyfin server that I share with a few friends and some of them have flat out told me that I should start charging for it. I refused because getting paid for it just sets up an expectation that it will be reliable and have all the stuff that they want. Personally, I don't want that kind of pressure. I want to be able to tweak the server and install new things / updates without worrying about uptime.
You can now configure Flatpak app permissions via KDE System Settings -> Applications -> Flatpak Permission Settings. It basically does the same thing that Flatseal does, except it now comes out of the box. No need to install a separate app.
Haha, welcome! Always good to have new people come in and potentially start their self-hosting journey. It can be quite fun if you have the time and interest.
Yes, vulkan-radeon and the 32-bit equivalent of it, lib32-vulkan-radeon, provide Vulkan API support. They should definitely be installed if you plan on doing any gaming. I believe Steam depends on vulkan-driver and lib32-vulkan-driver, which vulkan-radeon and lib32-vulkan-radeon provide respectively. There's also amdvlk which also provides vulkan-driver and is AMD's proprietary Vulkan implementation. The general advice is to use vulkan-radeon though for the open source RADV implementation, although some games have been known to work better with AMDVLK.
If I were you though, I'd just wait until some package you install requires them. The fact that they weren't already installed just means you weren't using any Vulkan applications to begin with. The only caveat to this statement is if you're installing a game manually or via something like Flatpak, in which case it may be useful to install ahead of time. Up to you.
Another thing you might consider is installing the libraries necessary for compute. You aren't going to be doing many compute tasks on that underpowered 5700G APU, but when you do get your desktop GPU, you may want to install either ROCm, AMD's open-source compute stack that provides things like HIP and their slightly buggy open-source OpenCL implementation, or opencl-amd, which is their tried and true, proprietary OpenCL implementation.
It's probably just because they posted earlier and some people haven't seen the newer comments. The other comments are now starting to get upvotes. I wouldn't place too much emphasis on the voting as a means of measuring a community's worth anyways.
In short jelly fin doesn’t seem as easy as you are all making it out to be.
It does definitely require a bit more work, especially because Plex does things like authentication and network access for you, but that's exactly why all of this drama got kicked up in the first place. Plex doesn't want to get into legal troubles, however unlikely that may be, for providing access to whatever content people are hosting. It isn't true self-hosting.
True self-hosting requires work and a small amount of technical knowledge, but IMHO it's worth it for the freedom, privacy, and control.
I think having base stations not only increases price but also makes it unapproachable for a vast majority of people. Personally, I didn't even consider the CV1 or the Index because I just didn't have a room that could properly accommodate them. For the sitting use case, no-tower tracking is actually very suitable and probably works better.
He's right, a product like that would have failed dramatically. At this point I just want them to release a dumb AF, streaming-only, inside-out tracking VR headset that connects to PCs. Forget trying to cram an expensive Qualcomm or AMD chip in there, it will never give you the ideal VR experience. Make something that's $200 bucks, connects to any PC running SteamVR, and just does extremely well with streaming and low-latency. Both Airlink and VRDesktop have already shown that its possible to get extremely close to a cabled experience. All that's left is some polish.
They could be liable for what’s hosted in the cloud
Liable for something hosted on someone's private VPS? That's like saying Apache or Nginx is liable if someone uses it to host a torrent site. I don't really buy it tbh.
I really don’t understand the people who use jellyfin but insist on shitting on Plex.
I think people are allowed to critique and express disappointment over a product that they paid for. Just because you personally don't care about the direction of Plex doesn't mean other users can't express their valid viewpoints. Plex at one point said they didn't really care what people put up on their private servers and now they're dialing that back and essentially asserting control over what people already paid for. People are right to be upset.
I dunno, the Deck is already getting slightly negative press for being behind spec-wise compared to the other portables out there. Might not be worth increasing worldwide availability if everyone already thinks its about to become outdated. Maybe they can have Deck 1 and Deck 2 in parallel just at different price points, kinda like how the Series S and X does it.
