Me too, they just keep on investing in interrop and I’m all for that.

Right, better be safe than sorry. The important point though IMHO that with Proton and now FEX they have shown that compatibility layers are not that costly or complex :

• try to make it run
• nothing works
• note precisely what doesn’t, try a way
• one thing work and it’s slow as heck
• understand why
• 2 things now work, one of them is fast, the other slow
• rinse&repeat until it’s good enough to crowd source quality control to others

So… I don’t want to diminish how amazing that is, technically speaking, but we now all know it’s feasible. Initially it looks like supporting an entire OS architecture was ridiculous (and it was, emulation was just “good enough” for games that were some years old and for much more powerful machine) until somebody tried “just” swapping or fixing the right API (i.e. DirectX) and … that was actually OK.

Again, it’s a TON of work. A lot of it also comes from Wine. But… now we now why it works and how to do that. Even if Valve were to lock SteamOS, that knowledge wouldn’t be lost on the broader community.

PS: they briefly mention this during the Tested video (sorry YouTube only) on the new hardware.

FWIW been using SteamOS on the SteamDeck for ~3 years now and from gaming to tinkering, no major problems. Never had to tinker hard or re-install. A couple of time it didn’t suspend properly or I had to hold power button of to force a shutdown but that’s about it.

I doubt Valve would back of from the openness because that’s their one single advantage.

True, but would one want to have a BigTech labels on their Linux distribution? Wouldn’t that kind of miss the point and bring us back to e.g. ChromeBooks?

I’m a bit too lazy to check for the entire stack I admit but I bet a lot of those actually do. Still to do a quick check Google for examples is on https://ev.kde.org/supporting-members/

Eh… aren’t most of the largest corporations contributing to Linux already? I’m not sure what you need beside Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Samsung, etc https://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/members

‘VR is a great way to experience shitty games

Have you tried Half-life: Alyx?

I recommend you give that, or something equivalent, a go without even buying any hardware. Either ask a friend or go to an arcade. You don’t need to shell out a grand to try.

If you hate it, move on.

Different networks entirely. AFAICT no IP is hardcoded, only domain names which are the same.

But… please feel free to check the URL, it seems to work.

My hypothesis is that the player in the browser, maybe due to WebWorks, had cached the IP of the content. So I was getting the UI/API from the new IP but the content itself (namely video files) from the old IP which might have created some CORS/CSP issues and that the player itself blocked it. (updating the post on the forum with that idea in case others get in a similar situation)

Is the docker container spinning up and running, or failing and exiting?

Running and healthy

Run docker ps, it’ll tell you how long your containers have been running or if they exited.

Indeed and they don’t exit.

If everything is running then it’s most likely network, and I’d need to know how it is you used to access it on the old server (web address? Ip?)

It it accessible via the domain name so networking, as least for UI and API, is working fine. Reverse proxy does let traffic go through.

If it’s not running then you get to dig through error logs to get to the next step 🤓

I checked error logs of all containers and seems fine. The only error I see are client side.

Oops sorry, terribly phrased, I meant “doesn’t behave the same work” but I simplified, hopefully.

Basically worked on old server, doesn’t work on new!

Sorry to hear, hopefully you’ll get a solution soon. Thanks for the clarification

giga octet, like byte https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_(computing)

PS: plus he can stay there with his “girlfriend” https://www.theverge.com/news/814168/xai-grok-ani-employee-biometric-data damn I’d actually pay to actually help him go.

Just curious, what do you actually use which requires more than 32Go?

Genuine question here, for a “normal” computer user, say somebody who :

• browses the Web
• listens to music, play videos, etc
• sometimes plays video games, even 2025 AAAs and already has a GPU relatively recent and midrange, say something from e.g. 2020
• even codes something of a normal size, let’s say up to Firefox size (which is huge)

… which task does require more than say 32Go?

Why save Earth he’s going to live on Mars anyway. Can he just go already?

Not really cool to post commands like that without consideration for privileges for newcomers, make sure to use sudo first. /s

I was laughing out loud until I read the part on VS Code or Google Docs to “avoid ideological tensions”.

Clearly Herve Beraud is a closed source advocate, total rage bait! /s

tone

this one https://github.com/sandreas/tone “tone is a cross platform audio tagger and metadata editor to dump and modify metadata for a wide variety of formats, including mp3, m4b, flac”

regarding RSS feed I just download them regularly, e.g on crontab one can add 0 3 * * * cd ~/Music && ~/bin/yt-dlp -x https://hearditherefirst.blog/category/dubstep/feed/ but if you need something a bit more refine with filtering consider e.g. jc --xml withjq and `wget.
