$20 is a steal. Congrats!

I haven’t tried this yet, but I will. I have a question, though. Can this be used on a remote server over ssh?

It was never a winnable war. It’s something that is completely unenforceable and will always be up to the individual. It would be wise to accept that votes will always be arbitrary and capricious.

The good news is that on Lemmy, they don’t matter.

It’s funny the biases that crop up in these threads. Another poster says to format the drive and reinstall windows with de-bloating software and that gets upvoted while probably being a more complex process than installing Linux.

Fanboying consoles and platform exclusives are old and lame. Get with the times, grampa.

Also as if people of the “same culture” aren’t equally as hard to live around.

So more just as a project? Projects are fun, for sure.

Honestly, just get a retail unit of some kind. Unless you’re just extremely picky, and one doesn’t exist that meets your criteria. The devices on the market these days absolutely blow away anything based on a raspberry pi. And they’ll be cheaper.

Ages ago I built a couple raspberry pi zero powered Game Boys. Those were fun projects, but not the best hand helds due to boot up times.

My first retail device was an Anbernic M280. I even gifted one to my brother. It was great, but the tiny screen sucked. I still have it, but never use it.

Then I got an RG353P which I love.

I also have a Steam Deck.

I gifted an RG35XX for Christmas last year. I dropped the first one in a parking lot, breaking the screen. So I had to buy a second one to gift. I still have the broken one and plan on putting that inside an arcade stick.

For a long time, the GBA form factor was the best. But I don’t think it holds up to current designs.

It’ll be great for people who are nostalgic for the GBA.

Personally, I’ll pass because I have other handhelds that are fantastic.

This was going to be my suggestion. Use Bluefin (not the “dx” developer flavor) gts stream.

It updates automatically in the background. All you have to do is restart it for updates to become active. So as long as it’s restarted once a month or so, you’re golden.

Nah, it looks like pretty typical arcade style controls.

Plural. Hopefully.

YouTube compresses the shit out of 1080p content. Any video that has a lot of movement will look like trash at 1080p. Even if you’re on a lower resolution monitor, the higher bit rate of higher resolution videos will look better. It’s all very stupid on our end, but I assume it saves them a ton on bandwidth.

I love Node for small apps and scripts. It’s become my go-to for quick tasks. I’ve even used it to write some small CLI utilities as standalone executables.

Not only is Resolve’s free version amazing, the paid version is even better. And it has a reasonable, one time, upfront cost that gives you lifetime access.

That looks very similar to ntfy. I googled “gotify vs ntfy” and found this thread on reddit (ew, I know) https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/shw73e/difference_between_ntfy_and_gotify/

Con: User separation. A user can create “apps” (channels), and will receive messages posted there. Users will not receive messages posted to apps they didn’t create. I haven’t yet found a way to create shared apps, or allow multiple clients to receive notifications for a given message, and I don’t want to share client logins.

Now, this thread is 3 years old, so I don’t know if this is still the case, but this is a deal breaker for me. Several of the topic I have for ntfy are also subscribed by my wife, meaning we both get the notifications. I could just post the same message to two different topics, but that would be lame.

Ntfy, if setup correctly, uses a web socket connection, which reduces the battery usage. I don’t think I ever had it setup without that, so I can’t say how bad it is. But with it, it’s not a drain for me on a Pixel 7.

I thought I replied to this earlier, but it seems like it didn’t take.

Pushover seems nice, but doesn’t seem to be self-hostable. It looks like there is a replacement service in the works called Overpush.

All I can say is that I don’t own any Apple products and never even looked at that section of their documentation. The Android and web clients work flawlessly, except that the Android client doesn’t support markdown.

This is very dismissive of the other commenters you’ve responded to who also appear to have understood you quite well. The difference is just that you like this one better.

You rail against someone for their privileges, but can’t seem to see past your own biases. We all have biases. It’s important to be able to recognize them and try to see past them. Including against privileged allies.
