12x more than I paid for the real Steam Controller and only a fraction of the features. Was hoping it would be priced more affordably

Exciting! I remember commenting about the next Steam Deck being ARM a couple months ago and a few people replied that it was unlikely haha

Hope this can work in Asahi Linux at some point too 👀

Are you going to use a dock? You should consider that, too. The case I found did not fit in the official dock.

I was thinking of having the next PC I build be used as a headless game streaming server. That way I could just stream to my Deck or MacBook, I wouldn’t have to setup web browser, download apps, sign into any accounts, etc since it would only be used to stream games.

I’ve never got great performance from any game streaming though

GTA V/Online. Just drive around

Would WayDroid qualify as what you’re looking for?

This is like crowdstrike all over again

I think a lot of people just haven’t heard of Caddy. Since I’ve found it I haven’t used anything else.

I haven’t used EmuDeck since they’ve apparently revamped the installation process, but I think RetroDeck is (or at least was) a much cleaner installation since it’s just a flatpak. I’ve got it installed on my deck and it works fine. Not really using it atm

You could consider using a USB C extension cable. That way you can use the Deck’s built-in controls. I either do that or use my Steam Controller.

I don’t think most controllers are worth their price. I got a Bluetooth Xbox controller once and it was expensive, lacked features, and broke way sooner than it should have.

If you don’t need a wireless controller you can get a Logitech F310 for pretty cheap and I find those nice to use, but they don’t have trackpads.

Annoying marketing, harassing customers on Twitter (I know they at least made it up but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place), now selling hardware skins as loot boxes

I hate this company more every time I read something about them.

The skins look nice though, are there other brands making similar ones?

It looks like they’re really going above and beyond with this feature, cool stuff

Thank you.

And created the firewall rules to forward (some) incoming traffic to my home server.

I guess this is the missing piece for me. I’ve already got all of my devices and VPSes setup with Tailscale, I’m just not sure which software to use that can do this forwarding.

I know Tailscale Funnels, Cloudflare Tunnels, and Caddy could be solutions for some, but in my experience they only do TCP or restrict what sort of traffic can be forwarded.

Thanks. This solution looks like it might work, too.

I’m looking to maybe replace my VPS with something like Hoppy and a Raspberry Pi (I imagine the Pi 5 8GB might be stronger than anything I can get for $8/m). I have a static public IP anyway, but I’d rather not host websites and stuff using that.

I kind of wonder if they would switch to ARM for the next one

I think it depends on what kind of services they are using as I think Funnel is designed for HTTPS traffic, no UDP or custom ports.

If you’re the only one connecting to the server, I would recommend something like Tailscale. Everything will be encrypted and you won’t need to forward any ports to the public internet.

If other people need to access it, an option might be https://hoppy.network. I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like it would be pretty slick if it works well.

I was looking at this the other day. It would be nice if there was a self-hosted equivalent of untitled.stream
