See the other comment about what Sunshine and Moonlight are, but I wanted to toss in I use that, as well as a stand alone instance of Steam on my living room PC. My living room PC is noticeably weaker than my main PC, so for some games I stream them via Sunshine/Moonlight, but for a lot of indie titles I just run them right in the living room PC.

I ended up with a device that shipped with it and replace it with Yunohost for a similarly beginner friendly experience that, so far, seems a whole lot more open.

Ooohhhh. I’m interested. I’m on NixOS too, but my preferred Osu! version is McOsu for the first person like camera controls, but it’s a steam game, so I don’t think there’s a way to install it through my config.

As someone who changed their name, I’d also vouch for something more abstract in its symbolism of your connection to your kid. I struggled changing my name, let alone telling my parents, because of the value and attachment I knew my mom, honestly kind of arbitrarily, placed on that.

Yup, using openVPN profiles. Proton VPN has quite clear instruction on how to do this on their website. Just do a search for “proton vpn openVPN profile Linux”

A wizard every now and then as a little treat?‽!!!‽‽

Depending on the game and comfort with bash scripting you can roll your own mod managers. I don’t really play Minecraft anymore, but if I did it would be heavily modded. In an effort to avoid installing a client/launcher beyond the one I already use I just keep folders for mod lists and configs, and then have bash scripts with aliases to do all the necessary file moving to swap between mod packs.

This doesn’t really work for most other games, but for things that run natively on Linux can usually do the trick.

For things running through proton it’s a bit more involved, but I also found a lot of satisfaction in figuring out how to manually install mods within the proton prefix. Used to have to do that a lot to mod Skyrim when it first came out and I got it running through wine on a school issued MacBook.

Ahhh, that’s good info. I didn’t know about the viscosity factor. I’ll do further research.

The auto injector I linked gets a normal syringe loaded into it rather than having the dose pre filled into it. It’s basically a needle cover that can actuate the syringe, rather than a fully stand alone item like an EpiPen.

Tbh I didn’t read your whole post, but looking through the heading titles I don’t think you touched on this. There are products that basically turn a syringe into an auto-injector, like an EpiPen. This means the needle is never visually exposed, both before and after injecting. I’m fine with needles, but once I’m on injections I’m still probably using one just for the ease of use.

Autoject is the brand I know off the top of my head, but I think there are others.

Crawl. Has to be one of my fav couch games.

Was this as simple as connecting over Bluetooth? I recently put a PC in my living room, but I’m currently using a PS controller. Would love to be able to lounge with split joy cons like I can on the switch.

Yeah probably true. I’ve got some hopes for the work being done on running Mac apps on Linux, even tried getting an old version of preview working a while back, with absolutely zero success. The tool I was trying had incredibly limited support for graphical apps.

It’s odd because I feel like it gets mixed up, very fairly due to its name, with MacOS “QuickLook”, which is the actual file previewing tool, giving a quick peek into a file by hitting ‘space’ with the file selected. Preview is essentially an image editor, but it doubles, or maybe triples, as PDF viewer/editor and scanner importer. The names are kinda silly tbh.

Very fair, I updated the original post

I’m already running Linux. I’m looking for an application that can run on Linux that roughly matches the feature set of MacOS Preview for image and PDF viewing and basic editing.

The nix wiki actually contains a way to handle this. If you look up “NixOS configuration editors” it has a couple quick commands to make a folder in your user space and link it to the default location of your nix config. This allows you to edit your config without having to escalate privileges of your editor.

I use Sunshine/Moonlight, OBS, Discord screen share, all on Wayland and an AMD GPU. No issues, both on my old Arch install and now NixOS. Every now and then there’s some issues in the actual updates that get pushed to these things, but those aren’t usually specific to my system. For example just recently an update was pushed to the loopback module OBS uses for virtual camera, but the OBS update that utilized it hadn’t been pushed yet, so I got a crash.

The post I mentioned

My tuxedo did this exact thing to me just the other morning. Though he landed on me so hard that he had to take a sec to shake it off before zooming out of the room.

Little more context: Philly has kind of become the counter protest hub on the east coast for the military parade in DC. I recently posted a comment about this if you check my profile. Anyway, we are expecting huge numbers in the city. Our medic team is going to have a lot of work on their hands, and is incredibly short on supplies. Any help you can provide, or even just sharing the link among your affinity groups would be awesome. If you want any further verification of this information please dm me. I want to be careful not to dox myself or any of my local organizers that didn’t already agree to put their name on stuff.
