Works great. It’s my portable gaming box. I use virtualhere usb over ip on the same Pi too so I can use multiple controllers like a wheel or joystick, pass a full bluetooth adapter directly to it for emulators.
In the house, anywhere with wifi. Can run decently down to 10-15mbps at 1080p60.
Remotely, over Tailscale, my home uplink is too slow for anything more than 720p60, but its low latency enough I can play games like Mario RPG and get timed hits correct. Or Clone Hero. Games like rocket league tend to be too fast tho, and video breaks up badly.
so Long as you have fast enough uplink, I think I’d be fine anywhere. Sunshine and moonlight are amazing, I used to use Parsec extensively but now it’s just moonlight and sunshine.
In most games not noticeable. Only game I have trouble with is emulating Wii, playing Mario Galaxy. The pointer on screen lags, but I think that’s more due to the bluetooth adapter compatibility than any latency added by the usb-> ip -> wifi link.
I’m not an FPS player, so can’t speak to sub second latency….but I do racing sims on this, and it has no trouble with controls and force feedback.
Porkbun is sort of the darling of the self hosting community. I settled on them after doing a huge comparison of prices and features of all the different registrars available to me. Porkbun was by far the best.
There’s a vocal handful group of people disliking CloudFlare because of their irrelevant “privacy” concern here — you can absolutely use the registrar without using their CDN features. Also, reality check: with CloudFlare’s market reach, there’s zero chance nothing they do online isn’t already MITM’ed already. Having said that, Cloudflare uses their registrar as loss leader, so they give their wholesale price to end users registering, and as such you’ll have the cheapest price available for the domain extensions they support. You can then just set your DNS without their orange cloud and traffic on your domain aren’t going to flow through their CDN.
So they profit from high-profile commercial users to subsidize the free tier (proxy, tunnels) and cheap DNS. What’s wrong with that? It’s not like we absolutely need those (proxy is nice but you can use vps, tunnels are also offered by ngrok).
What makes a registrar more privacy focused than another. Just had a read of their website, but couldn’t understand why they’re better for privacy than any other
They own the domain instead of you. They can then act as a middle man between any inquiries and you, and as a company, they’re able to shield you from many 3rd parties.
That’s interesting. So they buy the domain on your behalf and then rent it out to you. Pretty cool concept
That said, I’ve owned a fair few domains and never had to deal with 3rd parties, so I’m not sure if the added security risk (however small) of them hijacking your domain is worth it. For me, at least. YMMV
I do that to my dead drives, but I’ve only had one fail that wasn’t an SSD. Moreso because the washers that separate the platters have a very satisfying ring to them that makes me keep them as a fidget toy.
I use the magnets to hold screws, it works great for that.
Unfortunately, SSDs have less interesting parts, so I just take them apart to destroy the chips after failure
I haven’t tried it but I’ve been thinking about it… Since NextCloud supports s3 storage it would seem its photo apps, such as Memories should work that way?
Yep, that’s pretty much it. I have it working with iDrive this way. Install Nextcloud and the Memories app. Add S3 as external storage. Point Memories to external storage. Done.
