I will be proud of myself for the fact I didn’t notice or know

Don’t need luck, I’m using Common Sense 2024™️ edition AV/EDR with an integrated SIEM.

Bruh you’re in so deep you don’t even see ads anymore 😱

If by “this method” you mean Steam Link like OP then yes that does work. It does not work in Sunshine however, and I need Sunshine, because obviously there is no Steam Link on a PS Vita.

Obviously I tried the sunshine method out or I wouldn’t have outlined all the things I tried to fix it with otherwise.

Well fuck. Telegram was a really good way to distribute tor bridges in Russia because account age can be inferred from id, so roskomnadzor glowies could be vanquished easily.

Well done Pasha, you just had to go to France, the one country that has a warrant on you? Don’t the indie pharma & finance industries have enough to worry about without the glowies? Oh and bring back the wall you bastard.

That’s awesome. Glad we’re finally automating the most important things in life - internet arguments.

OpenAI is the corpo is the very antithesis of “open”.

Actual Open-weight FOSS AI models ala Stable Diffusion or LocalLLaMa/Mistral are definitely a good thing for everyone one though for sure.

Corposhit is always evil.

Exactly, so you agree that this bill is shit?

Not open-sourcing it is a terrible idea, it just creates more black boxes and gives corporations a further upper hand.

For all the time of VK’s existence? He hasn’t been involved with VK since 2014, it says that literally at the top of his Wikipedia page.

2014 is the same time that Russia’s real fascist face started to show in terms of the laws the duma was putting out internally and of course the actual invasion of Crimea and the attrocities carried out by Russia that followed. Lots of businessmen saw which way the wind was blowing and fled.

I do not trust any billionaire asshat, least of all a tech billionaire asshat, and if you read the libertarian new age techbro drivel the guy says on his telegram announcement thingie you just know his political opinions are probably dogshit, but I don’t think he’s in open cooperation with the fucking Kremlin.

The only suspicious thing here is the unbanning of Telegram in Russia. There’s of course the explanation that it was practically ineffective, and roskomnadzor unblocked it to save face, as they were made quite a laughing stock of at the time by the public (I am Russian originally and was still in touch with the russian internet scene back then, so this is my personal experience). But it’s also very possible they paid him off, so I’m not necessarily defending him either.

As for his visits to Russia, it’s clear for what purpose. I don’t think visiting e.g. family is an issue necessarily, so it can’t be used as proof of collaboration. I am also not sure whether it’s true.

I “trust” him in the sense that now that I am a resident of a five eyes nation, I would not use a western company’s service because backroom dealings will always be done and compromises will be made, much like how if I was still in Russia, I would only use west-aligned services with whom the Russian state is unlikely to deal with. His arrest is only further proof of it.

Unless it’s just a power grab due to the role Telegram started playing in the information war during the war in Ukraine, in use by both sides.

People babble on about E2EE and how there’s only metadata, but shit, you can infer a lot from metadata, depending on how extensive it is, and you will only be able to do more now with ML.

What telegram has that other messengers don’t is a solid business model that doesn’t rely on data collection. Meta definitely does not. Signal also does not. The pressure is on them.

If signal was usable at all I would use it, if you could send actual .gif files like a normal person in WhatsApp, I would use it, and if Matrix had more than 5 users, I’d consider it.

You’re already cut off from your family, friends and society because you choose to die on this hill over and over, so what’s another service?

Costs more. Does less.

It’s that simple. Marketing

He already left Russia a very long time ago, chased out over VK refusing to cooperate essentially. Now VK is very much government controlled

This is interesting! Didn’t come up in my search back then but I’ll definitely check this out.

But also, gaming through a deep fried JPEG is not anywhere near as good as natively on the Deck’s gorgeous OLED display, free of worries about input lag, latency and other streaming cancer.

monitor / display plugged in? I have some connected, but they are all powered off.

Sunshine requires X to be running, which requires some sort of hardware display connected. Either a dummy HDMI plug, or a real HDMI display. My Linux server is completely headless, tucked away in a wardrobe, I have no spare monitors to plug into it and it wouldn’t be all that useful to just have a functioning monitor hanging out on top of it just for it to never be used.

If this is wrong, please feel free to correct me, I’m happy to try again but the last time I tried sunshine would not stream due to the fact there was no monitor and no virtual monitor solutions would work.

Well actually, there is one virtual display solution that worked - Chrome Remote Desktop, but it’s janky to keep that connection open while using sunshine, and because of audio routing it meant the sound was in chrome remote desktop, not streamed through sunshine, and controls wouldn’t work.

If you are emulating a PS Vita, no need to stream 1080p content?

Wat.

I’m not emulating a PS Vita, I am streaming PC games to my actual real OLED OG PS Vita.

This is why the OP solution of using Steam Link which is miles better than Jank-shine would not work for me, because the Vita does not have Steam Link.

I used Linux for work. It was fine until we migrated to O365 from workspace. I’ve found enough workarounds that no one complains.

“Malware”? Fucking cybersec press is the worst.

What’s next, they’re gonna call “sudo” a 0-day vuln?

I was excited for a sec then saw it requires steam link. The only idea I had for a remote steam setup involved a ps vita, which can only do it through moonlight/sunshine. Unfortunately that requires having a display plugged in. I tried patching drivers and all sorts of other crap and none of it did anything at all. Dummy HDMI plug would be an option but if I had to spend money I’d rather just get a steam deck.

While this solution may work for phones or tablets or some such, you either have to lug around a controller or deal with touch controls. Not to mention having to either fork out for a 300mbps upload and download internet connections at both ends or taking a pill that makes you not see JPEG compression.
