My Opinion: NewPipe, Piped, Invidious, etc's days are numbered.

With Reddit shutting down its API setting a precedent in the corporate tech world (and Reddit was a major outlier in that a ton of their users are technical minded and support third party clients, YouTube does not have that kind of userbase and will not get backlash for it), Twitter doing whatever the fuck they’re doing, and...

Cool looking project. So is this something you use to mirror other people’s YouTube channels? Does this only mirror them to a self-hosted PeerTube? I have a home server that could process the mirroring itself but I have nowhere near the storage. If this is something I can point at a subscription feed and then point at a PeerTube server then I’d be happy running it in a Docker container or something. I already run ArchiveTeam agents.

I did get one of those, modded the shit out of it, and now take it with me on holiday.

The main thing I did was change my launcher to FLauncher using Launcher Manager.

While you’re sideloading apps, you might as well try out SmartTube also.

Android lets you install any app you want, like Windows does with .exe files.

I just use Playnite as the frontend for everything and Epic loads a lot faster when the actual client doesn’t need to fully kick up. Same for Steam, Ubisoft, EA etc.

Wouldn’t Heroic be a better option on Linux? It supports both Epic and GOG.

Yeah, Playnite certainly is super moddable comparatively.

The cop did this because he got flipped off. Even from a cynical point of view of this, this is a lot of effort for something so small.

I’m not LGBT or anything so I do have a bias, this is mostly something I observed from my time with the upper-middle class. Up until maybe 2014, while these people were far from saints, they seemed to be far more passive about social issues beyond the economics. Then the misinformation age hit and their opinions went from ‘I don’t want to pay the medical expenses of the poor’ to ‘I don’t want to pay for someone’s gender reassignment surgery’. The bigotry seemed to be at the forefront once the billionaire controlled media told them it should be. While yes I’m sure there’s a lot of pure bigotry, I’d expect there to be less if billionaires weren’t around to sway.

This is just a chicken and egg situation on the cause so sorry if I was underplaying the bigotry aspect.

Do you mean streaming the games running on your hardware or just hosting the Geforce streaming client? I know a good chunk about the former but not the latter.

If you’re streaming your own PC games I can quickly run through a Sunshine and Moonlight setup.

Quick history: Nvidia used to provide their own in-home streaming solution called GameStream. This was built right into their GPU drivers and was fairly easy to set up. It had 2 issues.

  1. The streaming quality was good but it only worked with Nvidia GPUs.
  2. The streaming frontend however, was shite.

Programmers being programmers decided to make open-source alternatives to both of these. First came Moonlight as a better streaming frontend on PC, Android, Android TV etc. Sunshine was also developed as a version of the backend that was hardware agnostic.

Nvidia then decided GameStream was distracting too much from Geforce Now and removed it from their drivers. This was widely regarded as a ‘dick move’. Thankfully, the previous 2 projects already existed, and the new interest in them hastened development.

This is good to know because coming into this new, you might wonder why both projects’ documentation mentions GameStream a lot. It’s legacy and dictated the goals of the projects.

For actual setup…

Start with Sunshine on your actual gaming PC. The currently maintained version of the project can be found here.

Sunshine has a pretty clean setup so just follow its steps and you should be good to get going initially. I personally set it up as a Windows service so it starts at boot when I WoL my PC. It might also request to install a controller driver which I’d personally let it do to avoid any input headaches.

Moonlight is even easier depending on the device you’re using. It’s straight up on the Google Play Store and I assume other places. The most technical part of the setup is that it might request some specific port-forwards, but I’d assume if you’re on this community, then you won’t have a problem with that. To get your Sunshine and Moonlight to communicate, you’ll need to get ML to ping the IP of your SS PC and produce a link code which you then input into the SS web UI.

If you’re wanting to play on your PC remotely, then that’s also possible! You’ll either want to just expose the requested Moonlight ports publicly and connect to your public IP / domain name, or (what I do) setup a Wireguard VPN on your local network to connect to (I don’t like exposing too many ports).

I didn’t proofread this essay so sorry for any nonsense I’ve written.

Oh boy here I go adjusting my streaming setup again.

Wait, can I use this to make a virtual display separate to my normal desktop? Kinda like a sudo-headless setup?

What’s the performance hit?

Dasnap,
@Dasnap@lemmy.world avatar

How does it work with a Windows host? Docker isn’t as smooth an experience off Linux unfortunately.

I had a similar issue when the servers were slow a few weeks back. Send an email to [email protected] and they’ll sort you out.

Dasnap,
@Dasnap@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, they ran a Mastodon server before setting up a Lemmy server also. I’d email them from the email you created your user with and explain the situation.

As someone who aggressively adblocks everything, one of the final places that ads can still reach me is in annoying ad reads within podcasts. Youtube sponsorblock is incredible but it seems no one has yet adapted this for podcasts. Has anyone else managed to find a solution here? As far as i can tell in my googleing, this...

(Except to steam seemingly)

For now. I’m curious what’ll happen when Gabe eventually retires.

We also can’t ignore the fact that the Steam Marketplace is a hellhole and the origin of a lot of today’s microtransaction hell.

If you buy all your games on one platform then you’re thoroughly fucked if it turns heel.

A future change in leadership could very easily lead to it going public and then all the regular bullshit follows. Don’t just assume it’ll always be great; always be ready to jump ship.

I get worried with the amount of gamers who want Steam to be a monopoly. The existence of competition seems to upset some people and it’s really odd.

Only really the first part of my comment. I ended up on a rambling tangent for most of it.
