Pshh. Looks overvalued. I would buy puts. It has to have a correction eventually.

It sounds custom but similar to wine, since the website alludes to a compatibility layer (translation) for the Android version of the game. My guess is a completely custom android / java runtime that is built specifically for Roblox and translating the necessary android specific calls to Linux.

I guess it depends on what kind of strap it is, because a wiimote type strap is entirely different than a knuckles strap. I basically can't play beatsaber on a quest because the "strap" is more of a tether and doesn't allow you to relax your hand during play without dropping the controller. Imo a knuckles style strap should just be standard on all VR controllers.

I also find toggle grip to be super unintuitive, nothing quite beats closing your hand to grab objects and opening your hand to drop them. Hopefully there's a way to use the knuckles with this headset, because otherwise I'm probably gonna stick to the index for a little longer. Ergonomics needs to be good for something I spend many hours using, and I really think the knuckles controllers knocked it out of the park

I really hope those controllers aren't close to final - having a springy grip button that you have to hold with your finger the whole time you are holding an object in VR is gonna get real tiring compared to just having your hand gently closed around the touch sensitive surface on the index controllers. And if they don't add a back of the hand strap that lets you use the controllers with an open palm, my hands are gonna be cramping within a minute of playing beatsaber. With the index controllers, I frequently open my palms completely during songs to keep them from fatiguing.

I prefer signal because it's been the easiest one to convince my friends and family to use. I have like 8 friends on Signal, the 1 I got onto Matrix quit after a week. Matrix I treat more like foss Discord so I only use it for communities. ElementX is really nice though so I have hope that eventually it could be as smooth to use as Signal.

You will always have to pick one or the other in a conflicts scenario, sometimes it'll be harder to decide what to pick because you may have important programs that depend specifically on one of them. Ideally if there are conflicting packages, anything that depends on them will accept either but it's possible that the conflicting packages will be different variants of a program, and that other packages that depend on them need a specific variant.

So for example you could have a situation where A and B conflict, and C depends on B but not A, and D depends on A but not B, so you'd have to decide whether you want to keep A and D or B and C. If you want both C and D then you'd have to install one via an alternate method, either flatpak or docker or a chroot or some other way that isn't the conflicting system packages. That should be a rare scenario though and I mostly encounter it when I have an old package installed that hasn't been updated to accept both conflicting packages so I just remove it to not deal with it.

Yes it's already enabled, which is how I assume it's working in Plex. Jellyfin isn't even deciding to transcode to hevc, so it seems like more of a detection thing in jellyfin since it works fine in Plex web

So I just grabbed the nightly and it looks like it's direct playing hevc in Plex. Jellyfin still says codec not supported for me, not sure if I have any settings wrong or of they need to change the auto detect in jellyfin.

Wow that's impressive! I tend to be very value oriented, and at the sub $5 price, you're getting so little that I feel like you're mostly paying for a public IP and bandwidth. And of course selfhosting your compute is usually a win, especially if you already have something laying around. So I just pay the public IP tax for a reverse proxy and home host it all. I would probably go with a cheaper VPS for my reverse proxy but I need the confidence it'll hold up to multiple friends Plex streaming.

Yeah if you aren't down to publicly expose your IP address / port forward, the cheapest way I can think of still involves a several $/mo VPS that just reverse proxies home to a more powerful PC. That's what I do since I'm behind CGNAT.

This is why it's important to get one with an adjustable emissivity, so you can adjust it to whatever material you are measuring. Or you can stick some electrical tape on what you want to measure, 3M super 88 is 0.96 so I just set my fluke to 0.96 and stick that shit everywhere I want to measure.

Not only is there the issue of getting approval from the video creators, there's the issue that most PeerTube servers aren't ready to handle a huge influx in uploads, as this would likely be a bulk operation.

Personally I think mirroring YouTube content would be more viable once ActivityPods lands and is integrated with PeerTube, which could potentially let you self host your PeerTube account data while still being part of a separate "home instance", which would greatly help with the storage issue for PeerTube as we could all bring our own storage.
