Yesss fcast looks incredibly promising. Sadly the only app implementing it seems to be GrayJay, I really hope it will catch on more.

TVHeadend is the way, I’ve been running it with a USB satellite tuner for 5+ years. Setting it up can be a little confusing, but once it’s running you pretty much never have to touch it again.
As for clients, there’s a Jellyfin plugin, however it seems to not work for me right now.
My client of choice is Kodi with the TVHeadend plugin, and that works great. If you still want Jellyfin integration, you could just add your recordings folder as a library in Jellyfin.
Could I purchase two different brand drives and use them with btrfs?
I don’t quite remember the source for this, but I believe I read some time ago that it’s actually a good thing to have separate drives. The reasoning is, if you buy two identical drives (at the same time), the likelyhood of both drives failing around the same time is severely higher.
This is then amplified by the fact that rebuilding a RAID puts a lot of strain on the non-dead drive, so if ie. drive 1 dies and drive 2 is about to die, the strain you put on drive 2 in order to rebuild your RAID onto drive 3 might kill drive 2 before you even finish rebuilding your RAID.
Again, this is just from my memory, it might be worth doing some more research on.
Incase you’re still searching, chech my other comment here.
Slightly old post, but hopefully still helpful to someone:
I managed to read out my analog water meter using the following ESP32 image: https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device
It uses an ESP32-CAM module that actively reads your meter, using machine vision. The data is then published via MQTT. There are even some stl files for cases/mounts for common energy meters.
Once setup properly (with a 3D printed case from the provided stl files), I found it to work quite well. I have a pretty clean standard German water meter though.
I’d assume it won’t, you can always just test it out though. There might be some setting for those timeouts in the Steam-steamdeck settings.
I haven’t done this myself, but I assume you can turn off the display in Desktop Mode. I assume somewhere in the “normal” Linux settings there will be the usual Turn Screen Off after … and Go To Sleep after … You could just set the screen to turn off after 5 mins, then set sleep to never and that should do it.
Check my edited comment, I’m pretty certain my limit was wrong.
For anyone looking for some other nice games for the deck, I can heavily recommend:
I got Euro Truck Simulator aswell, for the same reason lol
I assume the tablet gets its video through standard HDMI/DP over USB-C, hence a USB-A to C adapter wouldn’t work.
If you still want to use the tablet with the official dock, there may be HDMI+USB -> USB-C adapters capable of inserting the HDMI signal into the USB-C connection. I’m not too knowledgeable on this topic, so you may want to resort to some more research of your own.
Also keep in mind (as far as I’m aware) there’s a hard limit on 2 external monitors, unless you use some “trickery” like DisplayLink.
Edit: I’ve done a bit more research and I’m pretty sure that more than 2 monitors are supported. There are two limiting factors here:
Now with all this information, as long as your Steamdeck can output to any three screens (ie. two external ones and the internal steamdeck screen), it should also be possible to output three 1080p60 signals to external monitors.
Hm there must be some other problem on your end then. Doing a clean reinstall of Yuzu EA 4176 and then using the newest keys, firmware and update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe should pretty certainly fix it.
It runs great for me on Steamdeck, with the Yuzu EA 4176 AppImage, firmware/keys version 18.0.0, MK8 Deluxe NSP + Update 3.0.1 + DLC.
The latest yuzu version has a bug with Mariokart multiplayer (I believe this is the one that you’re referencing). It can easily be avoided by pressing L+R on the first screen with any controller that isn’t Player 1.
I believe Blurays are still a very good medium for long term data storage, like a cold offsite backup.
You could try getting a Raspberry Pi Zero together with some kind of SPDIF output card, but that will probably go over $30.
I have no idea what pricing is like, but you could possibly try getting a used Logitech Squeezebox player.
If you’re desperate to stay on the cheap and don’t mind BT quality, you could also install Snapcast on an old phone, enable the Snapcast player provider and then use the phone to connect to your speakers over Bluetooth.
I absolutely loved Splatoon 2, especially the DLC. It’s such a shame that you have to pay for online battles though.
Here’s a similar question, my answer should also be relevant to your question.
As for Switch emulation, yuzu still runs great, with many playable games on the deck. If you don’t have the AppImage or Flatpak already, make sure to get it from a reputable source.
Edit: Or, if you’re lazy, just use Ryujinx (also available in EmuDeck).
I can relate, with every update I’m like “Wow this is going to optimize my setup so much” and then I just don’t change anything lol
I believe WhatsApp needs the mobile app to connect to WhatsApp’s servers at least once every two weeks.
I think your best bet would be getting the cheapest phone you can find that will run a recent WhatsApp version, and then just leaving that at home connected to the internet. You could then use any WhatsApp web client (the website, some app, a matrix bridge, …) to actually use WhatsApp on the go.
If the main battery isn’t “meant to be replaced”, it will often act as the CMOS battery (e.g. MacBooks have been doing this since roughly 2008).
