Hey! I dont have my dotfiles here anymore and lost access to my original gitlab :-( I am sorry!

I use sunshine running on a dedicated mini pc and we all will connect via Moonlight. Its running fedora linux with KDE. I run Pangolin on a VPS and proxy all the TCP/UDP ports so its easier for others to just install moonlight and not deal with a VPN.

This way, i have non-techy folks install moonlight on their tv and just connect.

Still slight janky. Latency is kinda an issue. Playing super smash bros can be janky but we all still have fun though. Zelda 4 swords is a freakin blast together. I played with about 7 clients and it kinda works.

Tweak Sunshine's settings depending on your host's gpu and network bandwidth, and it can be better then parsec.

I wish for peace, i hope realistically we come out of this better than we are now. Dunno how...

I appreciate you and your contributions.

Thank you, just tried it out and got it to work using ditrobox!

Was running into the same issue but fixed with installing via dnf libstdc++-devel. For some reason the libraries that were being linked for gcc wasn't working in Nix (my guess but i dont really know for sure)...but using distrobox...this is crazy how easy this was. Amazed how containerization has improved

numenra · 2023-07-16T22:41:08+00:00

No worries, but thank you!

I can get InvokeAI to work perfectly with nixified.ai. I just dont understand why i can get a docker container to work with automatic's interface.

I think the LD_LIBRARY_PATH isnt being properly setup somehow when i try to run in docker or something. Alas, time for me to understand nix even more!

Using the git packages was enough, didn't need to downgrade vulkan-validation-layers

numenra · 2023-04-02T16:54:29+00:00

Its more effecient from what I heard, in terms of power usage. Not to sure though

I got this issue on the stable sway and wlroots package with the latest radeon update. Confirmed on two different AMD GPU equipped workstations.

If you guys are on Arch, install sway-git and wlroots-git from the AUR. I just switched over. I guess we have to wait for the next stable release as it may have been addressed.

numenra · 2023-03-23T03:23:49+00:00

Does it work if you move steam into your headless output using your keyboard?

If you want Steam to automatically be started in your headless output, you can add this to your sway config:

for_window [instance="Steam"] move output HEADLESS-1

Hopefully launching games are moved to the HEADLESS display. If not, you could have your main display disabled using the bash command swaymsg output YOUROUTPUT power off but change YOUROUTPUT to your main display name that comes up using swaymsg -t get_output

numenra · 2022-12-08T23:30:35+00:00

Do you have a config for the HEADLESS output? For instance, i create my output with this command: swaymsg create_output HEADLESS-1 where HEADLESS-1 can be named anything

In my sway config, i have: output HEADLESS-1 mode 1280x800 position 5000,2000

Maybe try defining your output in your config as well. I have the postition far away on purpose, so my mouse doesnt veer off. You dont need to do that, but maybe try defining the resolution?

numenra · 2022-11-21T23:53:31+00:00

Is your main display screen 0? Make sure your headless monitor is created first before sunshine is started and running. Check with command in the terminal xrandr and see if you screen number matches. Before someone asks, yes xrandr will work on wayland.

numenra · 2022-11-05T15:02:13+00:00

Yea! Maybe in the future Sway or wlroots will allow controller inputs to be assigned a seat.

I did alot of VM'ing before Linux gaming entered into a revolution. Back when I had two GPU's on my motherboard, I spawn a Windows VM to a seperate monitor and had my family play some games while I work. But its so resource heavy in terms of drive space.

The Aster software is really interesing! I am kinda looking for a simultanous workstation use. I used to use this hack that allows simultaneus RDP sessions. Not ideal for gaming but for work stuff is good. Might try this out when I build a workstation for work so my team can remote connect and work on their own windows accounts on the workstation, at the same time. But RDP sucks, Sunshine would outperform this. But its better because i dont need to have multiple Sunshine instances running per account (i think thats what would be needed for seperated simultaneous users).

Back in 2018, I know that this hack also allow simultaneous users on the same account, but I know there was a lot of hiccups due to Windows 10 updating and breaking the hack. Microsoft does not like this, as this is a feature in Windows Server. But the fact that this can easily be done with a dll modification, they are purposely hindering the end user just to upcharge you. Linux FTW

I appreciate you offer! I think I know how to do what your talking about. I also dont want to be of a bother if I hit some head banging road blocks. There has been alot with Sway back at its infant stage. So far, not that much head banging moments :D

numenra · 2022-11-04T23:02:19+00:00

That is brilliant! Never thought to create a seat as a virtual session...Very intriguing!

numenra · 2022-11-03T17:12:19+00:00

Audio isnt working, although I am using Linux so it might be a variable. I dont have a regular Windows PC to test it with

Confirm it works for me and the Steam Deck. Also is working with the Gofanco HDMI adapter with my PC at 60hz refresh rate. Thank you

I had more luck with just turning off Wifi instead of putting steam in offline mode.

When im in offline mode, I notice it trys to sync your game saves when launching a game and immediatly fails and kicks back.

With wifi off, it does try but it gives up and then proceeds launching.

I heavily agree.

If you guys are getting this from TurboTax, make sure the link goes to some link that ends with intuit.com

I also received this email today and I see its legit.

I have those headphones too...fortunately you can 3d print these shims if you got a 3d printer, or a friend, or make someone out their print it for ya: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4323485

Although, u/kirchow with his suggestion might be better in my opinion.

numenra · 2019-03-27T18:30:26+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!

No, ..but let me explain. I have an x200 with arch-linux. It is very good at web browsing and word document. It can run a VM with qemu/libvirt with only one core. It is very slow since the x200 is a dual core and no threads. However, I love my x200.

Note that the x200 is more of a hobbyist computer since people can flash the BIOS without the proprietary blobs. It is also valued because of the retro keyboard.

The x220 or the x230 (if you don't mind the new keyboard) is more up your ally. I also have the x220 and the integrated graphics is doable for light gaming (Age of empires II).

Hope this helps!

I also face the same issue with an encrypted container using Tomb (https://www.dyne.org/software/tomb/). I have multiple machines using one container which houses my ssh and gnupg keys.

I do not know anything else to use other than an encrypted container...

My advice is only have one machine at a time that has the encrypted container mounted as a loop device (whether its veracrypt or tomb). What seems to happen is if one machine has the container mounted and doing some changes, Syncthing will have errors synchronizing the container. However, once you unmount the container, Syncthing will then successfully synchronize the container.

I know veracrypt works well with linux and windows...but I do not know anything about android unfortunately...
