Nostr gets rid of the notion of servers and admins. At a high level everyone on nostr owns their own account (no central instance). When you want to post something you send your content to a list of relays you choose.

Other people can choose what relays they want to subscribe to.

Relays can block people from subscribing or posting.

Everything is cryptographically secured so there is no way for someone to pretend to be you.

Lemmy is different where the instance admin has complete control. Admins can post as you and users cannot easily migrate to a different server.

If you stream games or play multiplayer you may want to consider disabling that anyway as it dramatically improves the WIFI speed and reliability.

What do your logs say?

Most of the time it’s pretty simple to play non-Steam games. It’s made even better with Decky and SteamGridDB.

In a similar vain, enabling ssh and using that for config or moving files around has saved me a lot of typing.

Similar to how there are Mastodon hosting providers, I imagine Lemmy providers will eventually appear to make being your own admin even simpler.

My understanding is many SD cards have sub-optimal wear leveling compared with SSDs so there may be more to it than just writes per sector.

If it helps, I took mine apart this last weekend with no issues whatsoever.

No typo. I had my games on a 1TB microSD card and now they are on a 2TB SSD.

SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I. I play a lot of Diablo IV and Forza Horizon 5 and the loading screens are much faster.

My observation is that the SD card tops out around 30mb/s.

I did this for a while until recently I put in a 2TB SSD and the performance difference is night and day.

I at least suspect there will be a community porting some variant of SteamOS to the more popular handhelds.

Sometimes I’ll find myself streaming the Xbox or PS5 on the couch in front of the TV with it turned off.

Before I got a Deck I thought the hype could not be real. It’s over a year later and I still can’t put it down.

I’ve never been able to successfully sync posts from a kbin Magazine to Lemmy. I also haven’t seen Lemmy users show up in kbin communities so I assumed that subscriptions were unilateral (kbin users have access to Lemmy but not vice versa).

Not only does it work well for Steam games, it’s also really convenient for streaming PlayStation and Xbox games.

This is correct. Other servers will not connect with you if you don’t have a valid certificate.

You do need valid TLS and a cert can’t be directly issued on an IP.

Diablo IV runs really well on the Steam Deck.

The instance settings now includes a private instance option, which if turned on, will only let logged in users view your site. Private instances was one of our first issues, and it was a large effort, so its great to finally have this completed.

From the release notes.

I haven’t tried it but I think that making an instance private disables federation.
