Worth noting that Steam doesn’t track playtime for non-Steam games. So this doesn’t include Minecraft, Retroarch, or anything purchased through Itch, GOG, or Epic.

For what it’s worth, Valve has written a steam input driver for joy-cons! You can connect them over Bluetooth! …but they’re still joy-cons, so their wireless range is really bad. You basically need direct line of sight.

I have an older switch vulnerable to fusee-gelee, so I’ve been using yuzu’s tutorial for how to legally rip my purchased games from it.

I only use my Switch now for 1) Nintendo exclusives, that 2) I’ve already purchased, and 3) don’t run well on Yuzu. So… Super Beat Sports, mostly. (Harmonix please make a PC port!)

yep! remembers up to two bluetooth connections and two usb dongles. turn it on while holding:

• A to boot in usb mode
• B to boot in bluetooth mode
• X to connect a new dongle
• Y to connect a new bluetooth profile
• Start to use the previous dongle
• Select to use the previous bluetooth profile

honestly the steam controller’s killer feature for me isn’t even the touchpads – it’s the multiple-profile support. “oh, you want to connect to your PC for a bit, then reconnect to your console later? sure, just hold select during startup, I’ll remember your last 2 bluetooth connections.”

Can’t you basically do this already by installing SteamOS on a normal PC?

if you like the in-world smelting system, try NodeCore! It’s open source, low system requirements, and is very “back to basics”.

where do you find good sources to follow, then?

updated post here, includes section on networking! let me know if this looks good? https://lemmy.world/post/2444639

ah, thank you! it’s actually been long enough that I created a new post here: https://lemmy.world/post/2444639

Very high praise! Let me know what they find helpful or frustrating!

ah, well spotted! I’ll fix that, whoops

Hear hear! I thought I didn’t like the fediverse because Mastodon did such an awful job selling it to me. “Oh, I can’t view other instances’ local timelines without making accounts on them? What’s even the point of federation then?” But on Lemmy you can easily browse communities outside your own instance. So it’s not the fediverse’s fault, Mastodon just doesn’t have a clear audience.

And yeah, I can see how a lot of Mastodon’s features are “privacy-focused”, but I think it does TOO good a job, it’s so private that you can’t find anything!

in a word, intersectionality. you’re getting people who were already looking for an excuse to ditch reddit and twitter, and of that group, you’re selecting the ones with the most tech literacy. That tends to overlap people with progressive politics.

The Rise4 remap kit for Dualsense isn’t exactly “hardcoded” to ABXY, you can map them to any combination of face buttons. You can’t create new ones, though. However! If you’re not using the trackpads, you can assign steam virtual menus to them, and get up to 16 new “soft” buttons on each side.

Can’t go wrong with a Dualsense controller. Steam Input works great with it, and it has a touchpad, tilt sensor, analog triggers, and you can even remap the ‘mute’ button. Mine has the Rise4 paddles mod, which isn’t quite like the steam deck’s remappable grip buttons, but its close enough for most games where I’d want them.

I’ve changed my naming scheme so many times that its practically a set-of-sets at this point. But, “board games” is a good long one if you have a lot of machines.

I add .env to my .gitignore, then I can safely put secrets in my .env. If you have a big .env file, make a sample.env with the secrets removed.

actually, could you tell me more? not only are those new solutions to me, those are new problems. I don’t even know how to tell if uPnP is turned on.

edit: oh! I have actually dealt with NAT reflection before, the guide I used called it Hairpin NAT. https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/NAT#NAT-HairpinNAT

I wish I had a better guide on that myself! I’ve been using this guide for the time being, it covers the basics of how to set up a firewall: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#securing-your-raspberry-pi
