I am super impressed with Arch on my home servers. People seem to think “rolling” means “unstable” but the only issues I’ve had were due to some weird hardware incompatibility with my motherboard. Once I replaced the mobo my system has been rock solid AND reasonably up-to-date (I do use LTS kernel).

My bill hasn’t changed but maybe I was grandfathered in.

Yes, I’m aware. Still as good at it’s always been

I’ve been using Linode for a decade (or more) now without any issues. I’d encourage you to contact their support about this issue. Assuming you’re on the up-and-up this sounds like a big and in sure they’d be happy to help.

If you decide not to go with Linode though I think Digital Ocean is a good alternative.

Turning on FSR helps this a lot though. I frequently game on my 4K TV with FAR and it looks pretty damned good.

I do believe Moonlight is a bit better but Steam Streaming has been reliable and high enough quality for me not to care enough to use Moonlight most of the time.

If you can hard wire an ESP32 via Ethernet that would probably be best. You could also get better latency with an ESP32 over WiFi. However, a ZigBee button should be pretty low latency already.

Anecdotally I get perceptibly instant response from an ESP32 over WiFi.

No, it isn’t.

EDIT: After reading other comments I realize I mistook GeForce Now for GeForce Experience. While I still disagree that SD/Linux is “crying out for it” I actually think bringing GeForce Now to Linux would be a good move.

Awesome, what server chassis is that?

But this is Valve we’re talking about. Eventually they’re going to rename the company to Valve 2.

That wouldn’t be Counter-Strike though.

I agree that Hue bulbs are expensive compared to others but they generally are considered some of the best bulbs for color accuracy and build quality. I’ve considered getting Hue bulbs before but definitely wont be now.

You’ll still probably be disappointed.

Yes, as long as you use the restore option, if a timer were to finish while Home Assistant is offline, when it starts up again the event will fire and any automations listening for the event will be triggered. Timers are incredibly powerful.

As long as you render the games at the Steam Deck native resolution (i.e. 1280x800) and use the FSR upscaling option this works perfectly. I do this to output to my 4K TV and the games run more or less the same as they would on the Deck itself with great visual quality. A 1080p TV should work the same if not better.

I put together a repo that you should be able to pull down and get running pretty quickly using docker compose. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions.

I just had several Reolink cameras installed as well and like them a lot. I plan on spinning up a Frigate instance soon but read somewhere that Reolink cams don’t work great for that. Will see how what goes soon.
