Problems with connecting to a stereo receiver? by lambda in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

[-] lambda@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago

It's not just audio. I have an nvidia shield plugged directly into the receiver and it passes the video to the TV and handles the audio. The Steam Deck doesn't do anything on the receiver. Even when I try using the same HDMI port and cable.

Plugging the Steam Deck dock directly into the TV is fine, however.

I appreciate that you are trying to cover all of your bases. But, I did mention that it works directly on the TV.

I did not mention that I've tried multiple docks though. Also, both have external power. I googled it and it seems like PCs often have issues with av receivers. I just can't figure out a way to fix it automatically in gaming mode. I haven't done much testing in desktop mode though either.

I just want my game's music to come out of my nice sound system lol

Has anyone had issues with trying to get the steam deck to work with a receiver? I tried and was getting no output. I couldn't find any change that I could make to get it to work. I connected it directly to the TV and it worked immediately..

Best free way to sync obsidian? (programming.dev)

I've been using Obsidian for my note taking for a little while and I love it. I love you can just do a quick [[[other note]]] and it will link to the other note. I love that the full thing is just in markdown files, so that I can have full control; even if Obsidian were to disappear.

The one thing that is a little frustrating for me is getting my notes synced between my desktop, laptop, and phone. I have tried using syncthing to just sync the markdown files directly and it worked pretty well. But, it seems a bit overkill on my phone. I think I'd rather move to a single server that I can connect them to and they can sync from there.

I have looked into a few plugins. I saw that there a git one. I am a developer. So, that seems like the natural way for me to do it. But, I also saw a post on reddit where they suggested webdav. Which might be closer to what I want. I don't need it to be where I can type on two devices and have the stuff sync super fast or something. I just want to type my notes, close the app, and when I open it on a different device; I want it to have my latest notes ready for me.

What are you personally using for Obsidian? I'd love to hear from other people here. I don't want to pay for Obsidian's subscription service. I want to host it myself.

Smart home by lambda in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

My smart home is Home Assistant hosted on a server in my house. It's fully open source and has gone through multiple paid audits to show its security is good too. The only non-local-only integrations are the weather api's and my thermostat (ecobee).

How can I transfer non-steam games between Linux devices. (programming.dev)

submitted 6 months ago by lambda@programming.dev to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I have a desktop and a steam deck. I would like to setup some old games I have on disc on the desktop. Then compress them and decompress on my Steam Deck without doing the full install again. I understand that with wine/proton prefixes they should be installed to a "fake c:/ windows hierarchy" can I just compress that and copy to a different Linux machine? Does it save which proton version was used? If I use something like Lutris or bottles can I import into them?

Discord is on a quest to become a better messaging app by lambda in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] lambda@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago

Is this an old meme? They revamped their UI and I think it's (Steam) very intuitive now. I do remember when they had like 10 different styles of drop-down box on the desktop app. But, I don't see that now.

Steaming services don't give it to you for free with the only ads being for the premium version of their service that you don't really need..

I just found this last night and installed it for testing. It's just a web-gui to help manage compose.yml files. It's not fully featured yet, but I believe it's got some real potential to be a regular stay for me.

What would you use to remotely support a computer with "LAN" access? (programming.dev)

submitted 1 year ago by lambda@programming.dev to c/linux@programming.dev

I have a few family members that I help support. For instance, I installed Linux Mint on my grandmother's PC. She doesn't know any different and my young cousin doesn't understand it so he finally stopped giving it viruses. I used to use TeamViewer to take over her PC when she needed support but I got my account banned because they believed I was using it commercially. Oh well!

I have Tailscale installed on the computers. This gives me SSH access. What would you suggest? RDP? Something else?

[-] lambda@programming.dev 49 points 1 year ago

If only they supported Linux better, or really like at all... I know you can grab the files and install without DRM. But, the whole lack of a client makes it a nuisance to use. I used to buy everything on GOG when possible. Since I got a Steam Deck that's changed. I shouldn't have to use Heroic Launcher IMO..

What hobby seems boring to most people but is actually fascinating if you dive into it? by lambda in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Home Automation. It can be as simple as buying a hub and some devices. But, I went the self-hosted route using Home Assistant to give me more control of what it can do.

I have some automations that turn on a certain set of lights on when the sun sets and off when it rises. It's pretty simple, but saves electricity because I used to leave my front porch light on 24/7.

I just set up an automation last night that sends me a discord notification when the laundry machine finishes and the same for the dryer. I can't hear the beeping because I am always too far from the laundry room. This one has me so excited!

I've seen people automate gardens which seems really neat. Really, your only limit is your imagination. I also just really like having an app on my phone to toggle power to random lights and fans around my house. It helps me get out of bed because I can turn the fan off when I'm cold in bed.
