I have been recently reminiscing with some friends about the internet back when instead of massive websites that held everything, there were small forums with specialized focus. You could get to know the people in the forums over time. It was so much better than the shit that exists today.

I would love to join forums made by these projects. I don’t care if I have to have a bunch of accounts. Individual forums and RSS feeds are awesome. Since moving to RSS I have drastically reduced my mindless scrolling.

I may be assuming here, but I did not see it mentioned.

With the setup you have it will not work. Just having a public IP does not tell your router what internal device and port to send the traffic to and your router is not going to allow this. You would need to forward that port internally into your network.

However, DO NOT DO THIS! You do not want to allow traffic from the public internet into your computer. You are asking for trouble.

I am going to solution this without ever having done it, so cut me some slack.

You should look at something like tailscale. Tailscale allows you to create a custom wire guard vpn that allows you to connect to a device running tailscale from the public internet. I think you can have 3 account for free. Once connected to tailscale, you will see devices on the tailscale network and their relative IPs to the tailscale network. Connect to that IP and port and that should allow you to connect.

I did the same thing when I started self hosting. I followed some guides that recommended all these tools. The more I learned, the more I realized I hardly used some of the stuff but when I disabled them it broke the stuff I did use. That’s when I took the time to wipe my system and build from the ground up, but this time actually understand what I was doing and not just blindly following guides.

Good luck!

I don’t think you’re crazy. Sometimes when my shit gets bloated and I start getting confused about how things go together, I wipe everything and start fresh to refresh myself and organize better.

Came from Arch and OpenSuse. Fedora has been such a great switch. As I’ve gotten older and became a dad, my computer time at home is limited and I don’t have endless evenings to troubleshoot shit. Fedora has been stable for me for the last 4 years. I use the KDE spin.

That might be the case. But I have done a great job of reducing the power load of my server from 1200 watts down to 65 watts. And I am slowly trying to get the point that I can off load my servers to solar and battery. I live in a place with not so great of sun.

But I realize I didn’t include that in the original post. So, fair point and thanks for the info!

I would want to do a cluster. Just to learn how that works. But just thinking of the electricity cost, I would personally donate them.

I probably wouldn’t do it. I do have AI help at times, but it is more for bouncing ideas off of, and occasionally it’ll mention a library or tech stack I haven’t heard of that allegedly accomplishes what I’m looking to do. Then I go research the library or tech stack and determine if there is value.

This shit hurts me every time. I remember playing xbox360 in high school with my friends. I’m getting old.

I just moved from my aging 1080ti (which I might go back to) to an ampere RTX A4000 and I am getting the occasionally entire screen freeze and I have to restart to fix it.

I hope this addresses that.

I had an HP mini 110, which was a windows 7 basic netbook. My girlfriend (now wife) bought it for me during our senior year of high school. It was my first Linux machine (Ubuntu 11.10 netbook remix) and introduced me to the joys of trying to get unsupported Broadcom network cards to function.

That laptop also carried me through my first two years of pre-med before transitioning to software engineering.

Unfortunately, one day it decided to just turn off and never come back. That was one of the jankiest machines I ever had, and may have been my favorite computer I ever owned. I took it everywhere with me for 3 years.

 

Hey all,

A while back I made a post requesting any information about emulating games on the Tensor chips from google.

Just recently I broke down and bought the pixel 7.

I will likely be doing some gaming and reporting back here what I find. I will try and aim for the harder to emulate of each of the big console generations that are currently well supported on android.

With that all being said, are there any here that would like any games tested on the pixel line? I have an extensive physical retro game library and have the means to rip the roms from any of them.

 

I am currently a primary iPhone user, however I am planning a return to android in the next year. I always use custom Roms and lately it feels like I will be moving to GrapheneOS which will require me to move to a pixel phone. I have used a pixel in the past with GrapheneOS on a pixel 4a, but I have yet to use a non snapdragon variant.

I know historically, at least it seems, that Adreno tends to get the most development of emulation geared towards it, specifically on the high end. But, does anyone here have experience using Mali on higher end emulators. I see yuzu has added support recently, but I usually stick too my steam deck for Yuzu. Generally I would be curious about AetherSX2 performance, but any level of insight is greatly appreciated!

Either way I will being going with it, so I suppose I can follow up here with my testing and compare it, relatively poorly, to the SD 8gen1 in my tab s8 ultra.
