Is this picture photoshopped or from a real plain accident?

So many tweets are faked as screenshots to spread misinformation. I don’t know if this post is for real or a joke. So please provide links (via the wayback machine).

Sources of those tweets?

Okay, understood. May be SteamOS was the incorrect wording. I meant the Linux Kernel, Arch, Proton. I am assuming most changes are related to hardware and software compatibility which should all be open source.

Yes, thats how Open Source works or they can keep paying Windows. Asus knows their hardware much better than Valve does and has a much bigger interest in a good user experience, but currently lacks the incentive, because Windows is a „good“ paid alternative. Honestly I don’t understand all the downvotes.

Valve shouldn’t give their blessing to SteamOS on the Ally. That should be Asus‘ job. However they could give Asus a cut on every game sold through their device on SteamOS (like a few percent). That would make it much more financially interesting for Asus and they might put an official team behind it, to support SteamOS.

I didnt even think about it, but looking it up „a European“ is correct. It‘s not about the letter, but the sound.

Very interesting! Could you provide some summary of what the trends are or may be visualize the results? I am new to this kind of data

There is plant-it written in Java and HortusFox written in PHP. Both using MySQL. Is there anything available which is written in Go or Rust and uses SQLite?

Is the posted image from the time the article was published, so 9 years ago?

I chose Navidrome, with which you can stream music from your hard drive. It has very easy setup and it feels just great to stream your own music. I use Tailscale to connect the server to my phone and Ampery as an iOS app.

I bought Mirrors Edge: Catalyst. I really liked the original and doing a few runs from time to time is really nice

Well thats what backups are for, but may be start with a mirror or with unimportant stuff for at least a year ;) Also proprietary service can delete your data, too. This happens especially when you are using the generous free tier and they decide to make more money. See Evernote, Gitlab, Heroku…

Get a Steam Deck and use any Controller you want ;) (including the corresponding controller glyphs for many games)

Free software as in freedom of speech, not necessarily as in free beer. Maintainers also need to pay the bills.

It is also very resource efficient. I am running it on a Raspberry Pi 2 and it works flawlessly.

Yes, the comment was meant as criticism of the streaming era packaged as a joke

It‘s 2023, you can still listen to the same shitty music, because it is yours to keep.

• Use sqlite instead of Postgres, MariaDB
• Avoid enterprise software (Kubernetes, Elastic Search)
• Only use projects with efficient programming languages such as Go, Rust, etc.
• Try to run things bare metal
• Lookout for projects which name themself minimal or light-weight

I use a Raspberry Pi 2 to self host a Dashboard written in Rust (Axum), a RSS reader called yarr and a music streaming server Navidrome. The latter two are written in Go and very resource efficient. The electricity bill should be under a Euro a month (6.4W max power consumption).

The project controlled by only one entity can affect users in the future. Moving forward Hashicorp could do anything with the code or licensing and nobody could do anything about it. It is good that something is happening now, when there is still the chance to do it.
