I know Gnome has an option to mark a connection as metered, no idea what exactly that does though.

I use

• Vitals
• blur my shell

Blur my shell is make gnome look pretty good IMO.

I basically do exactly this, but I am running the reverse proxy on my home computer: the VPS is literally just acting as a proxy, for which I use wireguard to tunnel the connection. So far it’s worked great, though initial setup was a pain.

But you see, memes are art!

I feel like Mariokart 8 made good use of the gamepad: it could act as a mirror of the TV or it could display non-essential info like a map and what items each player has.

The people editing their images in Blender are the same people who edit their videos in Blender lol.

Steam still needs more competition IMO. If Steam were to disappear tomorrow, the gap left in the PC gaming market would be massive.

The best way to touch Nintendo products is with a soldering iron - to install a modchip.

In 2006 they bundled Wii Sports with the Wii, which seemed to benefit them considering the Wii’s success. Though, the Switch 1 had a the demo “1, 2, Switch” for 60 USD and sold better than the Wii, though culturally, more people probably know about Wii Sports compared to 1, 2, Switch.

There is a GUI program called “envision” which makes setup pretty easy, since it will also setup additional components for you.

That’s why most people who use VR on Linux don’t use SteamVR and instead use Monado, like I do. Monado is FOSS as well.

No? Have a look at LVRA, many headsets are supported, and IMO using Monado is better than SteamVR…

Intel is almost flawless, I say as someone who uses an Intel A750. It does have a bug where putting load on the GPU causes a dramatic increase in latency for GPU compute tasks, but that’s mostly only important for VR. Flatscreen games work great.

Sodium is client side, so it will not help with server performance. Something like Paper can improve server performance.

Do use use the mod called Sodium? Vanilla Minecraft Java has bad performance issues that are fixed with Sodium. I’ve tried Vanilla minecraft side by side with minecraft + shaders and sodium, and even with the shaders, sodium made it smoother.

lvra.gitlab.io is a great source of info for vr on linux. The discord server you mentioned is also bridged to Matrix for those who don’t want to use discord.

IIRC robot vacuums usually use a single Time of Flight (ToF) sensor that rotates, giving the robot a 2d scan of it’s surroundings. This is sufficient for a vacuum which only needs to operate on a flat surface, but self driving vehicles need a better understanding of their surroundings than just a thin slice.

That’s why cars might use over 30 distinct ToF sensors, each at a different vertical angle, that are then all placed in the rotating module, giving the system a full 3d scan of it’s surroundings. I would assume those modules are much more expensive, though still insignificant compared to the cost of a car sold on the idea of self driving.

I had My minecraft server scanned by at least 3 different bots, and I even had some friendly guy join my server that apparently found it using a bot he wrote. I’m now using a whitelist lol. One of the account names that scanned my server was "Fifth Column, which is a griefing group.

That seems like a small price to pay to have a dark magician girl decal in people’s faces in bumper to bumper traffic lol.
