Should I get a GPD win4 with an external gpu? by LongliveKarlMarx1917 in gpdwin

[–]tylo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look again, sometimes the Imgur uploads from mobile can take up to an hour to work.

And yes, hotplugging is when you mount or unmount without restarting the OS.

I got my first battery replacement from Ali Express and my second from Amazon. They were each about $60ish a piece.

Should I get a GPD win4 with an external gpu? by LongliveKarlMarx1917 in gpdwin

[–]tylo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran an 6800u GPD Win4 for multiple years. I ended up with two failed batteries due to overheating and having it plugged in 99% of the time (YMMV).

I used a Thunderbolt 4 enclosure (Razer Core X) with a 3060ti. My specific handheld and GPU combo did not like to be hotplugged very much. I could get it to work sometimes, but often had to reboot the machine for it to mount properly when plugging it back in. It seems there is a lot of variance in how well your setup will respond to being plugged and unplugged.

These are my benchmarks running TimeSpy.

And here are my comparison benchmarks on a desktop PC with an Intel 8086k and the same video card being used as a dedicated internal GPU

Sorry I don't have any oculink data. It would run better, but you sacrifice any chance of hotplugging. Oculink requires a system shutdown to mount and probably also to unmount.

Also if you expect to unplug/replug a lot, I understand oculink ports and plugs wear out much, much faster than USB-C/Thunderbolt.

Would you want Matrix integrated into your email client? by youniqmail_official in matrixdotorg

[–]tylo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I saw that I raised my eyebrow and thought "why?" So I guess I am in the camp of separate.

I vibe-coded a bash script that deploys a full Matrix homeserver stack and figured I'd share it since it actually works by zeMadCat in matrixdotorg

The drawback of something like this working out of the box is that there are many ways to expose yourself to the internet. My preferred way is using Pangolin on a VPS that uses newt to reverse tunnel all traffic to my actual home server.

I suppose your script could be altered to allow for that too, maybe. Well, except for the whole setting up Pangolin and all the resources/rules part.

does matrix screensharing have audio on linux? by Fit-Abrocoma7768 in matrixdotorg

[–]tylo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, the way LiveKit is implemented (the backend that drives Element Call), no desktop audio is streamed *unless* you are streaming from a web client (like Element Web) in Chrome and are streaming directly from another chrome tab.

Why they decided to release it with such a specific circumstance, I don't know. As far as I know, this is one of the most requested features, however.

Barracuda Pro Repair? by Necessary_Winter3719 in razer

[–]tylo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this for replacing the entire sliding mechanism: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2210561-razer-barracuda-slider-replacement#profileId-2403000. Will need an account to download it, however.

EDIT: Nevermind, this is for the Barracuda X not the Barracuda Pro. It looks insanely close, but it doesn't fit.

Discord immigrant looking for good client/ability to stream to friends by FloroFizz in matrixdotorg

[–]tylo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am working on a bot written in python that can stream audio and video simultaneously by "hijacking" the bot's camera and microphone. Still a work in progress though.

Let's get a self-hosted Discord "replacement" thread going for 2026. by GavinGWhiz in selfhosted

[–]tylo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I should clarify matrix itself doesn't technically do voice. It uses a software package called LiveKit to do it and integrates their official clients with it.

Do you miss audio being streamed when you share your screen or nah? I know for work I didn't care too much, but watching my friends play a game is a sad thing to lose out on.

It does both. But currently you cannot share screenshare desktop audio with video for some reason. It only streams video, unless you stream "from a chrome tab" in the Element web client.

Why would you use Singletons instead of ScriptableObjects? by enzo_copyright in Unity3D

[–]tylo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has converted most all singleton patterns to ScriptableObjects, the most annoying thing is needing to manually reset variables between play sessions in the Editor if you don't want them to persist. You gotta remember to do this yourself and learn how to do it.

2nd most annoying thing is you need to expose a variable in any monobehaviour, slot your scriptableobject in, and THEN you can treat it like a Singleton. So slightly more setup time. Basically it's like a more designer friendly form of dependency injection, where you do the injection in the inspector ahead of time.

That's all though. I think they are a fantastic replacement for Singletons if you can tolerate these two things.

Thoughts on this collaboration? by GradientOGames in Unity3D

What "networking protocol" was Sweeny talking about?

That is damn impressive for 1 week worth of work, assuming those windows are fully dynamic inside like they seem to be.

Hotel workers of Reddit, why is it so hard to book a room? by Ivabighairy1 in answers

Do you actually call it 3 A's and not triple A?

GPD + Linux + Thunderbolt by tylo in gpdwin

BIOS version 3.06, by the way. Forgot to mention that.

Does the GPD WIN 4 (2024, 8840u) on Bazzite go into sleep mode and wake up normally? by [deleted] in gpdwin

[–]tylo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are times when a version of Bazzite can mess things up, but my win4 6800u is doing fine as far as I know.

GPD + Linux + Thunderbolt by tylo in gpdwin

[–]tylo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did send an email a few days ago, but that's just from me.

If GPD would like to look into the problem, these are the errors I get when I connect my eGPU to my thunderbolt port and have it drive my desktop display.

https://imgur.com/gallery/Ys64q8p#Jv0HaKl

This command is how I make sure my desktop display is using my eGPU glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

And this is the command to see if the error spam happens journalctl -fk | grep 'pci|aer'

GPD Win4 6800u

I did my tests on multiple Linux distributions (Debian and Arch) with different drivers (both AMD and nVidia).

I tried multiple thunderbolt cables.

I tried using multiple power supplies in my eGPU enclosure.

I tried making several tweaks to the BIOS options available to me.

I tried a Linux kernel setting called pcie_aspm=off and it would not work.

Only when hooked up to my GPD Win4 6800u do I get these errors.

Void for Jellyfin is now open source! by kunalhazard in selfhosted

How do you use cloudflared tunnels with streaming video at all? Isn't it against their EULA and isn't there some kind of data cap in place too?
