  • The Deck is a pretty nefty device. I used it for half a year as a daily driver, which included everything from gaming to light embedded development. I’ve also used it as a ground control station when flying my legacy drones, or as a relay for my main rig when tinkering on unhandy equipment (such as accessing my cars OBDII from the warm living room).

    I’ve also tinkered with secured storage on the Deck, but found that LUKS needs the Deck to be unlocked (note: All of the above can be done without disabling the read-only system). I found a somewhat functional workaround using rwfus, which makes an overlay on top of the read-only system, on which I then can install packages such as veracrypt. I also tried NIX to this end, but found it to be way too much work to learn to use proper for my usecase.

    And while not really anything mind-bending: I’ll be spending the next few days in our summerhouse with my sister to celebrate ‘Fastelavn’, where I expect to bring my Deck and a Steam Controller for some evening Kingdom 80’s co-op.


  • “Is this ‘Critical Error’ the reason for the crash, or just another ill-labeled exception?”

    I love WINE and it’s forks, but man, how can any program produce so many errors during optimal operation? (A rhetorical question, as I believe we all know the tragicomedic reason being Microsoft)

    There was a supply shortage of fans during the launch of the LCD model. Valve solved this by shipping two types of fans until supply was restored. If you had one of the alternative fans, then your SD would have a pretty bad whine.

    Though, Valve offered original replacement fans via. IFixIt soon after, so you could just buy the better fan and change it. I did.



  • The by far easiest method is to install the Steam Link app on the TV. Though, Samsung removed the app a few years ago for some reason. (Yup, i too had a Samsung TV, though likely my last.)

    The next easiest method, though not wireless, is to get a dock or USB hub and then use a HDMI cable.

    Alternatively, if you are a little tech-savvy, you could see if you can get Moonlight (please excuse the reddit link) to work, though I have no experience with that tool.

    And the above was literally how I was thought to represent data in university. Maximize the areas of interest, make sure to properly label your axes (lest they become misleading), and remember to trim empty space where relevant.

    But it appears that proper graphs for science and engineering reports may not be used for representing data to the common man, as it must be assumed that, even for the most simple of graphs, the common man will only look at the funny line, but not the graph itself.






  • Hmmm, seems much the same as catbox, except that you need a click more to get the image link but gives you more options in return.

    What I’m really interested in would be a (preferably) self hosted solution which allows one to share either single images or albums with visible (but non-obscuring) labels, and where one can easily flip through images in an album. Also needs batch upload (can be by FTP, the method doesn’t matter much). I’ve tried Pixelfed half a year ago, and while I really wanted to like it, it didn’t really have proper albums and labels at the time.

    Hosts like Postimages and Catbox are fine, I guess, much like Discord is “fine, I guess”, but I don’t want to spam the host by uploading an image 50 times for 50 different posts, and no way that I’m gonna check all previously uploaded images whether I’ve already uploaded the one I need.
