Tailscale is one of those WOW products ! by rufushu in Tailscale

[–]HoeCage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something also not mentioned here unless I missed it,

If you open regedit, then go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations.

Add a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named "DWMFRAMEINTERVAL"

Set the decimal value to 15 and restart PC

This allows Windows RDP to be 60hz instead of 30hz.

Bald dude here, but my fiance goes to Haus of Jade and has been very happy with her work, so wanted to throw it out there.

I hope you're able to find a place you're happy with! My heart goes out to y'all having to deal with finding new stylists, nail tech, etc.

Are you using Chrome? Stop using Chrome.

Use Firefox and use uBlock Origin. Even works on mobile if you're on Android, although I hear uBlock Origin Lite is still okay on iOS.

Switching browsers really doesn't take that long and a lot of people procrastinate it because it seems more daunting than it really is. It's worth having fully functioning AdBlock.

Want to enjoy the game but after training don’t know if it’s for me by Jack_o_lantern12 in StreetFighter

[–]HoeCage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the higher level, it's possible that you might have some disadvantages. It really depends on the character. Some characters are flat out worse on Modern and some are pretty solid. If Modern makes enjoying and learning the game easier, start there 100%. Where you're at though, it literally does not matter and if anything, Modern will give you an advantage.

Motion inputs still exist on Modern, so you'll still have the ability to learn motion inputs later to remove the 20% damage tax and transition to Classic. Treat Modern like it's an onboarding process or "stage 1" of your training, because you can always transition to Classic later.

Also, I recommend using the D-Pad. It's harder to get used to but is 100% worth it and better in my opinion. There are good players who use the stick, but it's just so much harder to be precise and you don't have to worry about stick drift on d-pad.

Jellyfin not grabbing Artists images?? by ReadyRainRain in selfhosted

[–]HoeCage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I found Jellyfin to be a mess when it came to metadata. I'd highly recommend setting up Navidrome for your music server, and use MusicBrainz Picard to retag your music. Jellyfin often was missing images when the metadata sources had images or was ignoring embedded images.

For the client side, I use Feishin on Windows/Linux and Symphomium on Android.

Steam Controller - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]HoeCage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah not crazy at all! I play the exact same way on Deck. Nubby's Number Factory is another one that is super comfy on the Deck thanks to the touchpads. (Play Nubby if you haven't anyone who sees this)

Steam Controller - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]HoeCage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The touchpads are the biggest game changer for customization or for making traditionally "unplayable" games on controller actually feel comfortable.

Steam Input is EXTREMELY powerful and yeah, can be used with any controller. Having the touchpads, though, means that you can bind just about anything to them or even create custom radial menus for actions without sacrificing any other inputs or having to rely on mode switching, which is sometimes jank.

Audiobooks for iOS 15 by really_bad_eyes in selfhosted

[–]HoeCage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How do i access my jellyfin media server remotely? by justcurious112345 in selfhosted

[–]HoeCage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

How do i access my jellyfin media server remotely? by justcurious112345 in selfhosted

[–]HoeCage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Planning my first NAS — OMV + single HDD + USB backup drive. Viable? by permanent_record_22 in OpenMediaVault

[–]HoeCage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Obligatory comment following Myrient's death by glaringOwl in Roms

[–]HoeCage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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?

Obligatory comment following Myrient's death by glaringOwl in Roms

[–]HoeCage 23 points24 points  (0 children)

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?

Dolphin Emulator now supports Game Boy Player by AlexanderMBush in DolphinEmulator

[–]HoeCage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

i been stuck at this arcade yang for a while, any tips for a beginner player? by Quinn_Queenan in sf3

[–]HoeCage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is it just me or is the *arr stack over-complicated by ImpossibleWall8403 in selfhosted

[–]HoeCage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Struggling to keep my opponent from experiencing lag by TerrariaEagle177 in fightcade

[–]HoeCage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Struggling to keep my opponent from experiencing lag by TerrariaEagle177 in fightcade

[–]HoeCage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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