I hate to say it, but depending on manufacturers for this kind of stuff will always inevitably lead to these kinds of situations. This is why I always buy OpenWrt compatible routers and DIY my own NAS.

Over the years, I’ve experienced:

• Netgear refusing to patch bugs like their IPv6 firewall essentially letting all traffic through on the R7800
• QNAP shipping NASes with Intel CPUs that had clock drift issues so bad they essentially bricked themselves. They then refused to provide any kind of support for them.

After that I basically said, fuck it, I’ll DIY my own and have been much happier ever since. If you have the know-how and the time, DIY is the way to go for longevity.

I’ve been using my AMD 5600G’s iGPU to do hardware decode and encode in Jellyfin and it works pretty well. Only downside is that it doesn’t support AV1, but it works well with H264 and H265.

Holy god damn! Why does it look so damned slick?! Arch just keeps getting better and better for everybody.

Fuck those guys. I really wish LG would support DP a bit more in their products.

You may want to consider dockerizing your services just for maintainability and isolation from your host. I recommend something like Nginx Proxy Manager to serve as the “main entrance” for your docker network and to handle Let’s Encrypt for you.

Yes and no. It’s great for hiding your IP and preventing DDOS attacks, but it does require you to use their certs, which means they technically have access to your data. Cloudflare is pretty trustworthy, but the risk is still there.

Sigh, all I want is some decent privacy-centric cloud services like Proton. Bonus points if they’re self-hostable. I am currently paying Proton for a premium plan, but I would have gladly paid Mozilla instead for similar services. They keep trying to monetize the wrong things and doing a poor job at it at the same time. None of their VPN and email aliasing stuff are competitively priced or featureful.

Definitely not crazy. The first trailer was way more frenetic and action packed. Second trailer feels more like PUBG or like a third person Warzone.

Nope, you’re running into the dreaded AMD HDMI 2.1 limitation. The situation just sucks.

Yep, getting people to pay $40-60 bucks for a mobile game is basically impossible, and as a result the business model is either F2P or $3-5 bucks with egregious monetization to earn back the costs.

VR is one the aspects of Linux gaming that is still weak unfortunately. The Quest line of headsets for example just don’t work. On Quest 2 and Quest 3 you may have some success using ALVR, which is a remote streaming solution over wifi.

You’re probably running in non-RGB 4:4:4. Quick test is to have some red console text against a gray background and if the text is fuzzy with compression artifacts at the edges, then it is not 4:4:4. You can check what mode your TV is in by clicking the green button with the two dots seven times.
