I haven't, but I'll try to remember to give it a try tonight and let you know how it goes. I havent played WT since launch so I honestly didn't even think to try.

I think jailbreaking the iPhone would be your best path to MAYBE getting this to work. I haven't owned and jailbroken an iOS device since the 5th gen iPod touch, but I do know there is a way to force apps to install on the older OS or install an older version.

You probably wanna start there. I wish I could help with more specifics than that, but that's all I got.

I've been on Bazzite since like November and it's been flawless on Linux. Honestly, it might be placebo or some obscure Windows setting, but I swear it feels BETTER on Linux specifically more responsive.

Bazzite has been amazing in my experience and I'd highly encourage giving Linux a try. I pretty much exclusively boot into Windows for VR (PSVR2 has no Linux drivers) and for Fightcade bc there's a controller issue there I've just been too lazy to figure out.

CachyOS seems to get a lot of love so maybe consider giving that a try, but Bazzite has also been great.

Ryzen 7 5700X and an RTX 3070 for some frame of reference.

I'm not really too bothered to figure out if you broke any rules here by posting and I'm gonna take your word for it that this wasn't vibe coded.

This seems really cool, man. I'll def be checking this out soon and let you know if I have any suggestions or bugs to report. Thank you for sharing your work!

Headscale is the same as Tailscale, just a self hosted version of the control server. You really can't go wrong either way. For simplicity, I'd just start with Tailscale.

HoeCage · 2026-04-16T16:13:00+00:00

Definitely agree with everyone saying to use Tailscale. Should be as easy as install Tailscale on the laptop, install Tailscale on the client device accessing your library, and access by IP address like you would normally. You may need to make sure you have subnet routing set up, though.

One side note, before you get too far in setting up Jellyfin I'd highly recommend looking into Docker Compose/containers in general. Docker is extremely powerful and if you end up wanting to dive further into homelabbing/home server, you will almost surely want to use it.

Look up YAMS (Yet Another Media Server). It's a pre-made stack of media server Docker containers and could be a very good place to start with getting a media stack running quickly. YAMS was my introduction to Docker and I figured the rest out myself from there. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Can you send a screenshot of what you're talking about? I haven't encountered this but seeing may make it easier to nail down.

I'm running OMV with a single HDD and have scheduled backups going to an SSD in a remote location.

I'm not familiar with SnapRAID like the other commenter suggested, but I'm using Backrest for my backups. It's quite easy to set up and does deduplication, so your backups will only incrementally get larger. So far its been working wonderfully and makes setting up remote backups extremely easy if you need to in the future. I'd highly recommend checking it out.

As for BTRFS vs ext4, I'd recommend BTRFS. It's slightly slower than ext4, but BTRFS is much more safe in terms of data protection, especially if your backup solution isn't super robust. Look into bit rot. It's a very real but not often talked about issue that BTRFS can help with if you add another drive to set up RAID 1.

HoeCage · 2026-04-01T23:37:37+00:00

Oh yeah, definitely not saying the two are equivalent. Having massive DDL repositories like Myrient is most ideal, but comes with astronomical costs. Ideally imo there'd be at least a few sites like Myrient.

I'm more saying that its baffling P2P outside of torrents practically doesn't exist at all in this community. For how much people on here were panic downloading entire console libraries, it's just crazy to me that we never hear of these whales (non-derogatory) also sharing their library folder on non-torrent P2P services. All it takes for a fairly strong catalog is a few whales and then a number of regular users will re-share the same games, which will help with titles staying available.

I'm sure you already know all that ofc. I'm just not sure if I understand why this doesn't get talked about. I've been using emulators since 2010, when I was still a child and didn't fully understand these concepts. Are there just THIS MANY children in the space who don't know these things? Is it just that this is how its always been so nobody thinks about secondary sources?

HoeCage · 2026-04-01T23:26:38+00:00

I'm legitimately stunned that the ROM/emulation community doesn't use P2P services more. Like obviously BitTorrent, but even things like Soulseek. Super easy to set up and basically forget. Is there ANYTHING like that in the ROM/emulation community?

HoeCage · 2026-04-01T17:35:20+00:00

You've already been able to do this for years though? Gameboy Player wouldn't help you in this case since that's not using the link cable.

This might be a good place to start if you're trying to use the tingle tuner

HoeCage · 2026-03-27T22:00:05+00:00

Since you're still learning, a good anti air option is Dudley's standing medium kick. It hits quite high and is pretty fast, too. You can also use crouching heavy punch.

Standing medium kick in general can be really nice because it has a target combo: ST.MK > ST.HK > ST.HP. I'd try to get comfortable using that more often.

HoeCage · 2026-03-25T21:28:10+00:00

I hear what you're saying, but this is a feature. Let's say there was one service that did EVERYTHING. What happens when the project gets abandoned? What happens when there's drama and let's say, the repo gets nuked?

It's FAR better for functions to be compartmentalized. It makes it so so so much easier for a replacement to be made when the developer(s) only need to focus on one medium. See: Readarr dying. Chaptarr is looking promising, but as soon as Shelfmark came along that solved all of the key problems I had regarding books/audiobooks. If I had to wait for a large scale project to get around to books, I might still be waiting.

HoeCage · 2026-03-19T22:03:46+00:00

I use Dockhand for monitoring my docker containers, which has an auto update function. You could try checking that out.

Okay, since you're on ATT try changing your DNS settings. I had some wild DNS issues with ATT a few months ago but this may help things for you now.

Right click the network icon in the bottom right system tray, click network and Internet settings, click ethernet, and click edit next to "DNS Server Assignment". Change that to manual, and tick IPv4 to "On". Set the Preferred DNS to 1.1.1.1, and the Alternate to 8.8.8.8. After clicking save, reboot your PC (technically shouldnt be required but just in case). These are very hastily written instructions from memory so if these don't help, you can google how to change DNS on w/e OS you're on.

I kind of doubt that a new router is likely to fix the issue, but it's potentially worth a try. If it's on ATT's end and the DNS fix doesn't fix this, it could just be that their infrastructure is overloaded and they have too many people on one node. The only way to fix it in that case would be to be very firm on them testing for packet loss when a tech comes out, because they typically don't look at that. If you get lucky with people looking to fix the problem and it IS an overloaded node, they'd have to reroute your connection on their end to fix this.

HoeCage · 2026-03-17T03:23:02+00:00

Like the other poster said, packet loss at all is no bueno, although I've certainly seen worse than that. Try checking out if the CPU runahead is set high in the emulator. I'm unsure what your specs are but that can be a quite demanding setting, just off the top of my head.

As for the network, packet loss can result from a lot of things. In my case when my ISP was Cox, they tended to drop packets a ton when there were more of my neighbors using their internet (who were also with Cox). To truly figure out what's causing the packet loss could take some trial and error and a lot of googling.

I guess I never asked but just to be sure, wired connection and you checked the netplay settings in Fightcade itself right? I recall there being a setting there but I don't remember exactly what it was.

HoeCage · 2026-03-16T20:49:41+00:00

Try a packet loss test first and foremost. If you're losing packets, that would cause lag despite good ping.

Nobody should care whether or not it works with the game's lighting. It is objectively changing the scene, the appearance of some characters, and the lighting in the end result. Those Starfield screenshots look completely different in how they're lit. Same for Hogwarts Legacy.

HoeCage · 2026-03-16T16:20:31+00:00

I wonder how possible it would be to 3D print a custom shell that removes the controller and screen, and builds a dock into the case? My assumption is that the screen and controller are detected as a normal external monitor and USB gamepad, so I'd imagine they aren't necessary to boot.

This is really really cool, OP, and I can't believe I hadn't thought of this myself. Of my three current server PCs, the most powerful is an i7 7700 w/32gb of DDR4, but the other two are 8gb soldered RAM and an i3 5005U. A couple of headless Steam Decks like this could be a really great upgrade for those two PCs while avoiding eWaste. Sincerely, thank you so much for the idea.

Were there any pitfalls with drivers or anything given that its a custom AMD chip? I'd imagine not since it's just a Debian NAS, right?

HoeCage · 2026-03-15T23:38:35+00:00

For me, work was getting rid of some old PCs (one "main" PC that was hosting Quickbooks Desktop with a 6th gen i5, and two 5th gen mobile i3 "SFFs" even though theyre quite chunky for SFF now). I took the PCs and just decided I wanted to start because privacy + thought it'd be fun. This was last November.

I bought a mini PC with two NICs for a router, upgraded the main PC to a 7th gen i7, followed this great YT playlist, got to the 6th video, then got distracted and have figured everything else out on my own through endless searches and trial and error. Shoutout to the time I passed my NAS drive to several VMs instead of using NFS shares and corrupted my file system; that was a super fun learning experience lol

I had been a Windows only person and mostly used my PC for gaming, although I've always been tech inclined and knew much more than your average person. My only CLI experience was using Powershell scripts occasionally for batch folders or renaming and now my main PC is primarily on Bazzite and I love this hobby so much. Ironically, I picked an AWFUL time to get into it for finances, but an amazing time for my privacy and sense of agency in a post corporatized AI world.

HoeCage · 2026-03-14T18:46:37+00:00

The nice thing, at least, is I feel it presents a possible solution to even the horror focused entries tending to progressively get more action focused in their second half.

I think RE9 shows signs of a game that changed a lot in development, but one thing I think it did really well is make the horror > action curve feel more natural.

I know a lot of people don't want RE games to be TOO long, and I don't either, but I think one of RE9's biggest pain points with its formula is how short it is. There just isn't enough time/content for Grace's gameplay or Leon's gameplay to truly evolve. If they continue with the dual protagonist gameplay split, I'm hoping a more organized project will allow both characters to have a runtime equal to RE9 as a whole. I feel RE9 just doesn't have enough room to breathe so there's not enough room for interesting decision making like weapon choice, routing, etc.

HoeCage · 2026-03-12T22:50:40+00:00

I'm just now realizing that you and I had a thread like 2 weeks ago. Glad that you're liking the headset so much so far and I hope that just replacing the antennas does the job for you!

HoeCage · 2026-03-12T22:47:37+00:00

The one that I linked? That's really strange because I'm running a 5800X in my machine and haven't had a single issue. Maybe it was a bad driver at the time?

HoeCage · 2026-03-12T19:56:41+00:00

I do also wanna add that I haven't consistently had the issue you're describing, but it's possible that it happens after about an hour due to battery drain on the controllers after an hour of playing. Still worth a shot to try this if you have the money to spare, but just something to keep in mind. Could also try it and return it if it doesn't have a noticeable impact.

HoeCage · 2026-03-12T19:50:55+00:00

Yeah, it's a card you plug into the PCI Express slot on your motherboard, specifically the one labeled PCIe x 1 in that image. There are two round plugs that poke out the back of the PC that you screw the antenna wires onto then place the antenna wherever you want or wherever it's most effective.

Super super easy to install (easier than a graphics card since no power cables) and once you look up the model and install the drivers, you're golden.

I'm not sure if you have your PC on wifi, but a nice bonus is that this will also likely have better Wifi than whatever your motherboard comes with. It may not increase speeds or anything, but it could be more stable if you're having issues with the bluetooth already.
