  • Not quite related to selfhosting but modding routers and then DIYing x86 routers kinda got me into the scene.

  • It has Beeper but not Matrix... Interesting.

  • As stated on the sidebar,

    Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck).

    Is Proton/Wine a tool on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems? Yes.

  • Unless what you need is an IP phone, you also need a cellular modem that supports voice calls... plus a user interface for interacting with the said modem.

    Windows 11 Subsystem for Android can't help as passing through hardware and having the right Android kernel that has the right driver can be a nightmare.

    P.S. I think it is more feasible to set up an IP-phone-to-cellular gateway, say, at your home. And call on your deck with IP phone dialing to the gateway. You can connect to cellular data service on your deck with some cheap 4G USB modem sticks. If you want 5G, the cost can be quite steep. Yeah when there is a will, there is always a way.

  • The last commit was made March this year (2023) right?.... That's fairly recent at least by the standard of open source software. Also if the app runs, why bother?...

    P.S. Btw if you check the develop branch, the most recent commits were made last month.

  • The only edge Adguard Home has over PiHole I can think of is its out-of-box support of encrypted DNS upstream and downstream queries (e.g. DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS).

  • If you are a programmer or have some experience, you can try wrapping the site with a standalone runtime like electron or nw.js or leverage automation tools like Playwright and Puppeteer.

    Otherwise you may need to check if your browser supports encapsulating webpages into its own browser context (e.g. Edge and Safari). Some websites support this natively via the Progressive Web App (PWA) paradigm.

  • I have tried running Hogwarts Legacy on my Deck. It could achieve a stable ~30fps at all medium settings and FSR 2 Quality at 2/3 full resolution (1280x800) on-device. The frame rate will likely drop a bit if you are going to run it at 1080p or you need to try FSR 2 Balance or Performance. It should run fine with lower settings though.

  • Steam Deck seems to be the wrong device if you are docking it to a TV most of the time... The SoC is optimized for low-to-mid quality on the 800p screen. The situation is similar if not worse than docking a Switch to a large flatscreen TV.

  • Just curious what options we have if federation is needed.

  • The good old Mozilla Send was discontinued but the repo was forked and maintained. It should meet all your demands.

  • I have been using immich. It supports user accounts and album sharing. And recent updates on the machine learning part have made it a even more potent replacement of Google Photos imo.

  • I don't think there is any capture card in the market that supports recording with variable refresh rate. Only some can do passthrough. I guess you mean high refresh rate (i.e. >60Hz), don't you?

    Btw the type C combo port is outputting DisplayPort 1.4. DisplayPort capturing devices are real rare and expensive. The options you list are all HDMI capturing devices. So, apart from the capturing devices themselves, you also need to pay attention to whether the DisplayPort-to-HDMI dock or adapter supports high refresh rate.

    Technically they are using different "factory overclocking" profiles. XMP is for Intel while EXPO is for AMD. They should work all right on competiting platforms as the memory ICs themselves are supposed to be able to run at the rated clock and timings.

  • I hate to put it this way because libtorrent is a wonderful piece of open-source software maintained by volunteers but as is typical with its history, releases are going to be bumpy.

  • The main reason is that libtorrent, which is the literal backbone of most torrenting clients, has implemented supported for I2P only recently in its latest v2.x branch.... It takes time for libtorrent to iron out bugs and stablize and it takes more for clients to upgrade their embedded libtorrent to v2.x.

  • While proxying or tunneling to a VPS can sometime improve international connectivity (as usually VPSs live in machines that situate in well-connected datacenters), the bottomneck of your uplink is still at your 50Mbps connection.

    Also are you connecting to the servers closest to you or better within your country when you did those speedtests? If yes, it implies the your uplink is throttled locally not internationally.

  • While it would work no doubt, I do not recommend it. It complicates management in case things go real astray especially nowadays most consumer motherboards do no expose RS232 or any serial port. It is also more flexible and convenient for homelab machines to have some sort of GPU capability.

  • All three combined? Yes 100%. I get what you are trying to suggest though.
