Do the VR tools work well with a Meta Quest 3?

Yep. It’s arguably the best supported headset on Linux, perhaps even more than the Index due to some bugs with the FOSS stack. Shame it’s Meta though, so hopefully the Deckard actually happens.

Prop 50 is going to pass comfortably so if anything this shows how little power these donors actually have. And I can see why individual donors don’t want to tie their name to a gerrymandering bill, even if it’s the right thing to do given the state of things.

• LACT for undervolting/overclocking etc

• lsfg-vk for frame interpolation (requires paid Lossless Scaling) windows app

• syncthing for “cloud” saving usually by creating symlinks to the actual game save dir

• Using unix signals to pause processes so you get a suspend/resume like setup without suspending the whole system

• Sunshine + Moonlight for streaming to my steam deck and also from a Linux VM to host sometimes. I can also use this setup over my headscale/tailscale VPN setup for remote usage, although I haven’t tested it yet.

• wivrn + xrizer to play VR games with a standalone headset

• hid-fanatecff is for Fanatec sim racing gear, although I haven’t tested this one yet.

I sometimes also create nix packages to automate download and installation of mods and prefix setup etc, but that’s getting into advanced territory.

Come to Linux and get 15+ years of support with AMD cards.

yes but why would you?

Mainly because you’re required to use their distribution, or to build on Debian, which is not to everyone’s liking.

Of course that’s an argument against proxmox, and not virt-manager and the like.

Echoes of the Bowling Green Massacre. Lest we forget.

Primary goal: Navidrome as server combined with a VPN (tailscale is probably the easiest to setup but not technically self-hosted). Clients can be any that support the subsonic protocol. I personally use dsub2000 (android) + supersonic (Linux) but there are others. I’d start by testing it on your LAN to see if it’s workable.

Secondary goal: if you can get all 12 people to install Tailscale on all relevant devices then you can continue to use that. If not, you’ll need to host navidrome (or an alternative) publically preferably with a reverse proxy for better security. You could alternatively try Tailscale funnel or some cloudflare solution to host navidrome.

There’s also endurain but it doesn’t support gadget bridge integration yet (gadgetbridge needs to solve it on their end).

You sound like you want something more like navidrome which is closer to a private Spotify whereas Funkwhale is closer to a public social platform like Lemmy or Mastodon where you share music and follow others (or a little like a free bandcamp).

You still need to solve the public access problem either way, however, as others have talked about.

It was forked to veracrypt from memory. And LUKS was already widely available on Linux as alternative.

Many of them support ZigBee and work fine in that context. It’s just the wifi devices that are problematic.

This stream at least looks to be h264 only, which is more likely to be hardware decodable with older hardware than the vp9/av1 that Youtube usually uses.

This is also one of those policies where, even if it is something that is not universally popular at first, becomes so once it is entrenched. In Australia there was an ongoing battle with it but once it was embedded in society, it became political suicide to roll it back (although the conservatives have chipped away at it with some success).

So the lesson is to just do the thing because it is obviously superior to the alternatives, and it will become popular quite quickly.

There’s always plenty of money in the banana pillow stand.

Some subsonic clients also support Jellyfin servers, so that could be a useful addition here (although I’m happy with Navidrome myself).

And there were multiple other trials pending that were only abandoned because he was elected.

There might be an “open in browser” option that can workaround issues like this.

Perplexity is okay with more academic topics at the least, albeit pretty shallow (usually isn’t that different to google). There might be a policy not to include encyclopedias, but it would be an improvement over SEO garbage for sure.

They tend to have free wifi too so are somewhat useful.
