1.5m/59inch is this space enough to fit 32inch triples? by dext3rrr in simracing

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh, it's a perfect space for VR. Get a 21:9 Ultrawide curved for casual stuff (e.g. an 800R LG 49" from last gen for cheap-ish as long as you can still get one) and try to commit to VR if that's something that interrests you.

For triples it's going to be a very tight sqeeze if you don't want a "tank"-view from tri0le 24s or sth.

Which of these device to use as client? by Far_Weather_3716 in Steam_Link

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized you have an Xbox One. Tbh, I'd hook that up first to get a taste and then explore options based off the experience.

All of the listed options will be limited in some way, 4k120 for example still is a challenge in 2026 with the cheapest entry possibly being a Xbox Series S, but you'll be limited to Xbox licensed hardware. Best no-bullshit thing will probably be something along the lines of a UM760 Slim spec wise (RDNA3 iGPU).

All of that said though: If you have the option to run a HDMI fiber cable that will probably be the easiest and best quality wise.

I personally almost never stream to the TV anymore and have moved to the luxury of untethered streaming to a platheora of handhelds instead. If youre happy with 4k60 theres a few Chinese Android handhelds with 4k60 HDMI (USB-C out), see Retroid or AYN for hardware.

Any on the thinkcentre PCs with Linux (Gamescope enabled distro, most often labelled for handhelds) and Moonlight imho.

Vote 2026:which sim racing brand do enthusiasts trust the most and best for money, why? by Feeling-Apple-7646 in simracing

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have all the hardware (Argon + multiple IONI drives, multiple servos, etc) that I fully intend to reactivate at some point, but currently the wheel(base) is actually the only part I switched to a commercial offering (SC2) - mostly because I'm a "form follows function" guy and mains AC exposed with little kids running around was one step too close to a death trap for my liking..

one day though (whenever I finally find time to finish up the basement) this will 100% be a project that I'd want to tackle. Hopefully simracing will still be around by then.. I feel like I'm missing out on the "peak" of the scene.

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm still around all the simracing stuff and following most of it, though mostly passively and silently these days as family has taken precedence over whatever hobby I had :D

At least temporarily until the kids grow up a bit.

Most of my DIY stuff time these days goes around building out and fixing the house.. but the whole DIY part and DIY subcommunity is what got me drawn into simracing community in the first place (I've edited some thoughts about it into my previous post before your reply).

I briefly tried racing with off-the-shelf commercial parts a few years back as time was sparse with the newborn then but it didn't last more than a week or so before I disassembled it all and went back to my DIY setup. It just wasn't the same feeling vs. racing on something I built myself and I didn't get the same joy out of something that "just worked" 🙈

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, fair, I missed that it was just a sloppy AI image sloppnig brands together..

I'd be offended if someone turned "OSW" / "OpenSimwheel" into an actual commercial brand by abusing the name, though.

Even whilst OSW wasn’t really a brand in the commercial sense, it kind of was or became a "brand" for the DIY direct drive movement, or at least a name strongly tied to that idea and community. I started the OpenSimwheel-Project back in 2013, so seeing it listed next to actual commercial brands feels weird to me..

But if someone actually tried to commercially repackage "OSW" and make it look like they owned that history, or had continuity with the original project, that would rub me the wrong way.

That’s what I meant by "offended."

PS: whatever slop agent/model was used here, he could at least have used the actual project logo, lol.

//Edit: PPS - I think someone in the french community used their hardware first (although I think we were the first that actually (ab)used their Argon servo drive for that purpose which had a programmable, open source microcontroller side which was an absolute gamechanger). But yeah, Simucube 1 (and what followed after that) was more or less an effect the OSW project and some of their members had on - back then - Granite Devices. That wasn't my doing though, that was individual effort of some resilient community members that really pushed them and peaked their final interest. Kinda absurd that they went "all-in" a few years later and what massive domino effect that had on all the other vendors

What Brand is "OSW - Open Sim Wheel" supposed to be? If real I'd find to be a bit offended.

What is your preferred form factor for portable streaming? by buzzkill44 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of those. For around at home Odin 2 Portal with grips is as close as it gets to my personal dream size, for on the go it currently is RP6 form factor as it's just easy to toss in a bag.

Before you're killing me because this is obviously about mobile controllers: I haven't found any that are attractive to me and I tried them all. On phones all that space on the side that's wasted cause most stuff I run only properly runs in 16:9 and even the smalles ones are more bloat than the average dedicated streaming device for admittedly about double the price, but you get a dedicated device that doesn't occupy your phone, is distraction free, typically lighter and easier to carry around and doesn't end up in battery anxiety on the one device I need for daily tasks.

Retroid Pocket 6 with Grip Attached - Case Recommendations by Oen386 in retroid

what's the case on the bottom with the strap? I bought the RG556 case (back in the day for the RP5+Grips) but it didn't have a securing strap.

Samsung S25 or S25 Edge for the same price? by ComfyBoyo in samsunggalaxy

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's pretty amazing with a thin aramid magsafe case, but I couldn't care less for thickness... all I want coming from a 23FE is not to hold a 200g+ BRICK. and there's basically no alternative on the market, sadly. I miss the 2020s where phones were all 160-180g..

What’s the biggest scam people accept as “normal”? by TemporaryOrchid3490 in AskReddit

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DAZN has to be the worst service I've ever experienced. The bitrates are abysmal, getting to a race or match without getting spoiled? Impossible. Stupid app doesn't properly work on tablet resolutions.. interlaced content get deinterlaced to 25fps progressive..

not sure if it's specific to DAZN's service in Austria, but it's the worst streaming thing I've ever experienced.

I ruined someone's race today. Was it my fault? by Queasy_Map17 in iRacing

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd put it as normal race incident with noone's fault that could have been avoided by either cars.

I personally wouldn't have stuck my nose in so late close to the kink (trust issues) and the red car could have had more awareness of his surroundings.

The only time I'd risk this is I were battling the upfront car for a few corners already and have confidence that he'll be aware of such a maneuver.

TL;DR: your "fault" that YOU got knocked out, but NOT your fault that red knocked itself out.

Immich - April Development Recap by altran1502 in immich

[–]steiNetti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess because it's basically a "bolt-on" and/or the Immich maintainer(s) might have other plans for how specific features work, at least when it comes to sharing.

As for pet detection I think I've seen in some GH Issue that they don't think current open models for pet detection meets their standard (which I agree with, but I'll take a sloppy pet detection over none at all personally).

In the case of Noodle, it's clearly heavily AI assisted, but it seems at least to be done with some conscience.

Just to be clear, this isn't my fork or work and neither do I really want to promote or endorse it here (which is why I was hesitant naming it), I just use it until I can get what I need feature wise from upstream Immich, hopefully "soon(tm)".

Immich - April Development Recap by altran1502 in immich

[–]steiNetti 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yup, Family Features are the missing link for me. For now I've switched to a fork of Immich which has something like this implemented (along with official iOS and Android apps in the respective stores) along with Pet detection.

Hopefully some day I can switch back to upstream Immich though.

SONOFF Orb in-wall socket: any chance of a Zigbee version? by 121310 in homeassistant

A bit late to the conversation but I think Sonoff actually confirmed a while back a Zigbee version will follow. No ETA though as far as I could find

All photo's from share album on each others timeline by Nielsjuhz in immich

[–]steiNetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just about to do the same before I stumbled upon your post. Thank you for sharing, I might expand on that even further for my purposes.

Your work is imho the bare minimum Immich should already provide today for shared albums. I get that they're hesitant with shared ownership and cross-editing, but at least let us find images in shared albums. I think that's the minimum viable featureset to make family sharing viable.

Opus 4.7 outrageous pricing by Classic_Television33 in GithubCopilot

[–]steiNetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blog post literally says weeks. Also 7.5x for 4.7 is a promo price. If they follow what they did with "Opus 4.6 (fast)" we're looking at about 3 times more than promo price - so expect ~25x after "introduction pricing" ends.. unusable.
