  • Yeah I was also an elite™️ 14-year old, all the normal girls were into LMFAO and LOL and their Flo-Ridas and BBM (what is that? Big boob messenger? Stupid thots. I was so much smarter than them. Humph! Looks are for the shallow!) and I was into far more intellectual things, like karaokeing to ‘Somewhat Damaged’, crying at least once to every single song on Still and speeding up the virgin power walk when the guitars come in on ‘Beside You In Time’.

    But then I turned 16, and I was into cloud rap, and a tad later, doom metal. I came to realize that people had varied, changing tastes that didn’t necessarily give you the right to assume so much about them if they liked something I did not, it’s not as if one cannot be objective about media at all, but moreso that using tastes to attack a person, or to assume personal traits about them, especially a group of people, seldom yields to accurate outcomes.

    It is a lesson I had to learn again when my CompSci colleagues at university didn’t cruise through classes like I did, it wasn’t because they weren’t ‘real’ ‘geeks’ like I was, and it wasn’t because they didn’t use Linux, and once more, and again and again with many different things, undoing the brainwashing of a consumption society to see the wonderful complexity of people.

    I make music now, and I’ve learned to see the wonderous complexity in it too, even in stuff that’s ‘not my cup of tea’.

    I can critique it, but I no longer assume so much about people, and perhaps I am taking all this far too seriously, and that’s fine, but if that applies to you, I hope you can grow up too.


  • ^ Millennial who got bullied when they were 13 for liking Linkin Park and made it their whole personality and their life’s mission to make sure no one thinks they like it again. 🙄🥱

    Unironically grow up. Those people were dicks. They’re well produced songs that are noteworthy for how well they portray teenage angst (a valid part of the human experience like any other) and connect with teenagers worldwide.








  • 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 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.
