If by “this method” you mean Steam Link like OP then yes that does work. It does not work in Sunshine however, and I need Sunshine, because obviously there is no Steam Link on a PS Vita.

Obviously I tried the sunshine method out or I wouldn’t have outlined all the things I tried to fix it with otherwise.

This is interesting! Didn’t come up in my search back then but I’ll definitely check this out.

But also, gaming through a deep fried JPEG is not anywhere near as good as natively on the Deck’s gorgeous OLED display, free of worries about input lag, latency and other streaming cancer.

monitor / display plugged in? I have some connected, but they are all powered off.

Sunshine requires X to be running, which requires some sort of hardware display connected. Either a dummy HDMI plug, or a real HDMI display. My Linux server is completely headless, tucked away in a wardrobe, I have no spare monitors to plug into it and it wouldn’t be all that useful to just have a functioning monitor hanging out on top of it just for it to never be used.

If this is wrong, please feel free to correct me, I’m happy to try again but the last time I tried sunshine would not stream due to the fact there was no monitor and no virtual monitor solutions would work.

Well actually, there is one virtual display solution that worked - Chrome Remote Desktop, but it’s janky to keep that connection open while using sunshine, and because of audio routing it meant the sound was in chrome remote desktop, not streamed through sunshine, and controls wouldn’t work.

If you are emulating a PS Vita, no need to stream 1080p content?

Wat.

I’m not emulating a PS Vita, I am streaming PC games to my actual real OLED OG PS Vita.

This is why the OP solution of using Steam Link which is miles better than Jank-shine would not work for me, because the Vita does not have Steam Link.

I used Linux for work. It was fine until we migrated to O365 from workspace. I’ve found enough workarounds that no one complains.

I was excited for a sec then saw it requires steam link. The only idea I had for a remote steam setup involved a ps vita, which can only do it through moonlight/sunshine. Unfortunately that requires having a display plugged in. I tried patching drivers and all sorts of other crap and none of it did anything at all. Dummy HDMI plug would be an option but if I had to spend money I’d rather just get a steam deck.

While this solution may work for phones or tablets or some such, you either have to lug around a controller or deal with touch controls. Not to mention having to either fork out for a 300mbps upload and download internet connections at both ends or taking a pill that makes you not see JPEG compression.

How does this, (or 12ft.io for that matter) actually work? Client-side trickery? Magic cookies? Something like adblock?

EDIT: Apparently it just blocks JS and disguises itself as an SE crawler. This still doesn’t work on sites like Bloomberg, and if I understand correctly nothing can be done there.

You’re welcome! Sorry I couldn’t help more. I actually have a script like this but for gradual redshift

I just use the digital wellbeing timer in the settings on my phone.

For the pixel on A12/13 It’s under “Digital Wellbeing and Parental Controls” -> “App Limits”. Then just hit the sand clock icon next to the app and it should let you choose a timer. 1 min before the timer runs out, you’ll get a notification and the app will turn greyscale, similarly to Bedtime mode if you use that. Once the timer runs out a toast notification will popup asking you to either change the timer or close the app IIRC. Bear in mind in either case the app will be killed hard, so all of your temp data (i.e. Lemmy comment in progress) will be lost.

On browser I use this and it’s existential dread is sufficient: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/daily-motivation-age-coun/ndjleggnmncjmfjcgmmpimpccikiadaf?hl=en

App timers work well for me. I wouldn’t say I’m addicted though, I browse the internet a lot but it’s by choice, I find it useful and entertaining. I set my timers to 40m, but I rarely exceed half that unless I’m browsing memes with the gf and showing them to her.

Screenfetch :)

God that ages me.

Ah didn’t realize you were actually using slackware, my bad, I thought you were just referencing the slackware approach of a full install

Also I would not assume that deleting them and renaming them has the same effect. Unless you’ve seen the source code and can confirm how it works, the pattern matching for files could be something that looks for anything in that folder, or anything containing .desktop (if you renamed them like .desktop -> .desktop.hidden)

Based on a quick Google search it’s a bug in KDE, and even uninstalling the application does not always remove it from the menu.

That can be problematic because if OP installed via graphical install, it will uninstall the entire desktop, as likely the way the meta packages are structured - apt will think KDE Plasma was just installed as a dependency of KDE games or something and remove it alongside.

OP if you just want to hide it, perhaps deleting the .desktop files will do the trick?

Local takeaway is very hit and miss, it’s always some ghost kitchens pizza chicken and kebab sweatshop with rats running around. That’s London baby.

Basically anyone. I have no talents, so anything would be an improvement.

Huh, is it actually rolling release and cutting edge? I thought it was just Debian + 1 or 2 versions ahead.

I prefer a minimal install of Debian personally. Someone should make a rolling release apt-based/debian-based distro and I’d hop right on it. Technically Kali is one and I do daily drive that, but it’s not something I can really recommend to people as a general use distro.

Anyway if you want something more tangibly different (and difficult to install) try running OpenBSD :)
