should be fairly simple with any distro. personally, id recommend mint or something for ease of use. install steam, and you can use steam link for android (chromecast, roku, firestick, mobile), or steam link for linux (raspberry pi etc). steam has built in compatibility for windows games running on linux, and a built in streaming setup. a bit of an all-in-one solution.

you can try a steamdeck-like distro as others have suggested, but they may be less easy to learn on if youre not too familiar with linux already.

keep in mind nvidia drivers are a sore spot in linux, so if possible try to use an amd graphics card.

So the difference here is you are manually doing a thing for your backups. Using a self hosted server and something like immich will seamlessly do it for you. If you drop your phone in the toilet and it breaks, the photos you took since your last manual backup would be saved.

Immich isnt meant to be a photo gallery viewer primarily, it is meant to be a self hosted photo backup service to replace stuff like icloud or google photos. So yeah, dont recommend it as a gallery viewer, recommend it as a selfhosted image backuo service.

I self host a jellyfin service on my nas, and keep all my movies and shows on that nas. I wouldnt be able to fit all that stuff on my phone.

I worked in an office that was paying out the ass for google drive. Setting up a self hosted nextcloud was a great solution and saved them a bunch of money, and still worked as a hands off “cloud solution”

If you dont want to run a separate machine to self host some services thats fine, you dont need to do it. its not for everyone. But plenty of people have reasonable motives for doing it.

Im not on mastodon too much but i think they call a tweet a toot and a retweet a retoot

Agreed. Only way ive found to reheat fries from a restaurant. used to just leave them if i couldnt finish them.

We got take away a few weeks ago, and the fries were already soggy by the time we got home. Think i popped them in for like 3 mins or something and they were seemingly fresh again

Ok great, ill look into it!

Mostly because the target device is an ipad. Im not planning to write anything for the ipad itself, i just want to push the list to it via an existing cloud service.

I’m realizing this may be misguided and i may have to just compromise with the copy/paste approach we’ve been using. Just wanted to save the operator a step.

It is. Its fashionable for people to hold their mics lately. Didnt watch the video, but its probably just hating on “the kids these days”

This really reinforces my decision to pirate content.

Macast is pretty cool too. Think it uses upnp or something.

If you get a usb remote you can bind the home button to rofi or something similar to make a quickstart menu for apps and websites you use most often.

Yes, but hiring some devs to modify the code to be run on a home server could be seen as an investment towards saving the cost of running the servers themselves.

If a company is going broke and cant afford to port the code to a home market, they could simply open source it, and let the fans do the work.

And as i mentioned to the other guy, i think this should be the law.

Don’t misunderstand me, I absolutely think there should be regulation over this. I’m saying ultimately if a company wants to discontinue a service they should be forced by law to release the server software. That way the player base can still use the product they paid money for.

Didnt watch this specific video, but the solution seems simple to me. Just release the server software. Bonus points to open source it.

No, your laptop also connects to the hotspot. If you have available wifi at your location, you can then setup the pi to use that wifi and disconnect the phone hotspot, and just use the local wifi on all devices.

Ive just found this to be the simplest setup. I briefly had serial over bluetooth set up, and it was an easier way to change the pi’s wifi, but it broke pretty quickly for me not sure why.

Probably the most elegant solution is ethernet over usb, but thats a bit of a pain to set up.

For me a hotspot has been the least headache

What i usually do is set up a wifi hotspot from my phone, and connect the pi that way

Edit: just looked at your link. I think for the time being im going to use tailscale. Its a restaraunt, and they dont have a self-hosted server. Im trying to get around opening ports, so using an existing service. Your link did make me aware of cloudflare tunnels whick looks like it allows 50 users on a free plan vs tailscale’s 3. Although the 3 might work for them, I’ll have to check. Ill probably drop in an ngrok tunnel too so i can maintenence the pi remotely. (They are in a different state) i was mostly looking for advice on how to connect a port on one machine to another over a lan, and socat looks perfect

Actually, i found socat which seems to work just fine so far, and appears to be a standard linux command.

socat TCP4-LISTEN:8096 TCP4:192.168.86.2:8096

Thats a test i did with jellyfin at home

Oh that makes sense because when i originally set it up, i did want all traffic routed through it. I guess i didnt realize it didnt have to be
