Im pretty sure this method utilizes RDP. I’m thinking about getting an Intel ARC380 GPU for PCI-E pass through to a windows VM and doing the same thing. I’ve tested this with an Nvidia Tesla k80 (though it’s not a very practical card to have on a desktop). You should be able to get enhanced performance out of the VM if you enforce video encoding on GPU via group policy.

The only downsides are :

1. passing certain peripherals through RDP fails on Linux from my experience (for example, USB DAC, Xbox 360 USB controller). Your mileage may vary.
2. absolute mouse position doesn’t work over RDP so don’t try this with any games that need a mouse for camera control (fps) it simply won’t work. If you want to game, lookingglass would probably be better for that but I haven’t tested that yet.

I think it’s hilarious with the market for Linux handhelds this hot that these companies are still like “ew no thanks”

Hell yeah brother. Started playing Hades 2 on my custom chimeraOS PC yesterday in the living room. I absolutely love the experience. I’ve been considering getting that Hx100 PC from minisforum and running bazzite on there to replace my custom PC for a smaller console like footprint. The time is nigh!

Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I’m genuinely curious.

Depends on the usage. That’s the gamble you take. I would maybe buy three and put two in a mirror and keep the third one as a replacement?

That’s 240$ for three drives without warranty though… Nevermind I’d prefer to buy two new Toshiba X300 new for 210$ a piece and forget the headache and get the warranty.

Sometimes you get what you pay for … Sometimes

No bueno

I wonder if this age of consolidated net access if Google, Facebook,Twitter will be for or against this.

Time to invest in some foreign VPNs.

Are there alternative firmwares available for shield?

Oh my … That’s awful. I’m just discovering this myself. Even IGN put out an article https://www.ign.com/articles/near-bsnes-remembrance

I think about this a lot and it really does depend on your needs.

Home lab vs home server. I like to keep them separate just because I consider my lab unstable and my home server stable. You don’t have to do it this way it’s just the way I like it.

https://a.co/d/6k6QpOD If you want to build a low power NAS I suggest investing in an Intel n100 based itx Nas motherboard. You can then use a case like this from Jonsbo https://a.co/d/1ayqwJV. This could be a nice cool and quiet solution. If you want to do video transcoding, the n100 has quicksync on board and with something like Truenas it’s pretty easy to set up via the app catalog (check out truecharts).

If you want something even more simple (good for home users or like a backup target you keep elsewhere) I’ve been meaning to grab one of these “Topton 2-Bay NAS R1 PRO 12th Gen Intel N100 Network Attached Storage Media Server” from AliExpress for just this case.

As for a Lab, I suggest finding a W680 chipset based motherboard like an ASRock IMB-X1314 LGA 1700 Intel W680. You can get a cpu like a 12400 or 12500T (lower power and less heat) used cheap and you have the option to upgrade and use ecc memory without a XEON. You also have a lot more pci express connectivity.

What ever you do choose, anything pre 12th gen Intel is basically ewaste (those 11th gen mobile erying I9 engineering samples are very good but less reliable than desired). Do not invest in any old x99 based gear (unless you get it for free). I have an old dual XEON system that is still running and it uses power like a small fridge.

I don’t need to imagine it. I own the game and it looks like crap compared to it running on yuzu on PC. 4K 60fps is the way. Can’t go back.

Are Diablo 3 server emus any good? I haven’t looked in a long while but now I’m intrigued.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could store Flatpaked/appimage games on a USB drive indefinitely so then you could plug it into another machine and simply launch the game from it?

You know, like a video game console!

Hi!I see a lot of great suggestions here but I was just looking at your chart and I think just one fundamental change would benefit you.

Think of your switch as the “core” of your network. Everything should connect to that switch (computers, access points, firewall) for your best experience/performance.

If you go with unifi, you should know that their switches are managed but if you intend to self host anything, you’re actually going to want the managed features!

Thanks and goodluck!
