The cost of server upkeep alone

Video content? YouTube’s made it all but impossible to compete with their free offerings, for the cost of server upkeep alone

Sounds like the monopolized industry isn’t right for the users

Not to poke the trolls, but what in this article relies on snowden’s authority?

Seems like to me he’s only drawing attention to something easily verifiable.

Funny enough this ‘slop’ is compliance, but hey you seem to think you’re mega dev supreme so I’m sure you already knew that

Yeah, so something like steam link may use a nontraditional input that the flatpaks weren’t setup to expect.

I’ve used moonlight myself quite a lot on Xbox with the controller, but admittedly a good game list like steam requires setup (or ES-DE or equivalents)

Might help your case if you set it up to launch steam on connect if it helps the controller input (again though not 100% sure it will, I just know moonlight shows its controllers as a Microsoft Xbox 360 so its pretty supported)

If you don’t want the card I wouldn’t be against buying it off you for a bit more than an rx590

2 things,

Moonlight + sunshine have a lot better performance than steam link, although are less polished

And its most likely due to flatpak’s sandbox, which installing appimage will work as a workaround, but proper permissions should do the same (not too sure how steam link handles input so I can’t be much help on how). Never had permissions issued with moonlight though

I have a rack server in the garage with a gaming PC in it, 2 PSU’s and the 2 GPU’s mentioned, all running on Debian (which I soon plan to swap to nixos).

The AMD GPU’s is passed through to a windows VM with 8 gigs or so of ram, for VR development in the garage usually, but sometimes is streamed as well.

The second Nvidia GPU goes to my linux machine on Ubuntu just for ease of patched nvidia drivers, a couple virtual monitors with an xconfig like this, and is my daily driver with 16 gigs of RAM.

Both use Virtio drivers for disk, network, and anything else I’m forgetting, Pcie passthrough via KVM/QEMU on the host.

I’d say the latency hangs around 5ms when streaming both at once, and never comes close to saturating the gigabit connection, but I’m sure some optimisations could be done somewhere along the line.

Clients run on anything from an Xbox series X to a random PC, hopefully soon an orange pi (worried about latency though).

When I have a workload requiring both GPU’s I just keep 2 moonlight windows open and use the keybinds to unfocus the mouse then alt+tab to swap between them.

I don’t have any complaints, although one time when my thermal setup was worse I left 2 copies Subnautica running for my wife and I to at Nitrox together, and it did start to drop in fps on the Linux machine once we picked it up after an hour or 2 running the games AFK.

Edit to add I’m mostly using this for gaming right now, but its handled everything (within reason) that I’ve tossed at it, but I’m planning on soon setting up this sometime soon also across a couple other PC’s, but as of right now the VM’s feel as if they’re entirely distinct PC’s from an external perspective

Surprised there’s not more people saying Nixos.

Its a bit annoying to learn, but once you get the hang of it its impossible to break, and amazing if you have multiple server’s doing similar things

I currently have a setup exactly like this, with a threadripper 2950x, an RX 6600, and a 2070 super.

Let me know if you have any questions in the specifics, but its 100% possible

Best part of this setup is being able to connect to both via sunshine on many displays at once

As will small artists to companies.

Shit even the value of art would be intristic to am individual, almost impossible to capitalise on, but totally viable for an individual working directly with people

You got me there

Woah do you even use a keyboard??

None of those over here since the 80s

Me putting a 4 TB 3.5" HDD in my phone

Though entirely removed from the situation, one large thing tends to be more efficient than many small ones.

So back to our situation here, China’s better figured out how to integrate this, allowing them to do more with less. Over a large enough timeline, this is all but a death sentence to america unless we can all stop acting like children for 5 minutes and work together.

This is why a superrich class is not only dangerous to an individual (ie food security), but to the country as a whole.

So we essentially can’t be more efficient cause greed.

Yay.

Yeah but then you can’t charge every step of the way, bypassing years of american ‘innovation’.

End of the day america is riddled full of inefficiencies in the form of the 0.1%, but they really don’t seem keen on giving anything up

Interesting, I wonder if a larger lenses could ‘move’ the virtual monitor further away so its less straining

Random question, what would make this worse than a normal display/light?
