  • I agree discoverability is not good, but after gathering subscriptions for a while, I do have a decently active timeline. As for the account, yes it is useful to have one on some instance, especially because of the remote subscribe feature that I found is a reliable way to subscribe to a remote channel. I used to have an account on a public instance which at the time allowed to register an account. Now I host my own.

    Things that I found helpful to discover content :

    • Follow the #peertube and #livestream hashtags on Mastodon. People tend to advertise their peertube content there.

    • Use the peertubify browser extensions so than any video you watch on YouTube that is also available on peertube gets redirected. I was surprised to find some extra channels this way

    • Search for specific content using Sepia https://sepiasearch.org/





  • I enabled this repo last week on Debian 13 (RTX4080). While it technically works, I’d say it’s not without risks for those not a little familiar with linux.

    It first required some fiddling cause the file that is supposed to blacklist Nouveau on boot was renamed by apt as .save or something as a result of the package upgrades, so the system just started loading Nouveau instead of the new driver. Fixing this got me further, as the 610 proprietary driver finally loaded.

    Sarting my usual plasma X11 session didn’t work though. It launched but didn’t display shit (grey boxes instead of windows and taskbar basically).

    Having also plasma wayland available from sddm, I tried to launch this session and it got me a working desktop. So I ended settling with this. Wayland used to be crap on my system, but with this recent NVIDIA drivers, it’s usable. My only real complaint is the extra latency on the mouse cursor.








  • I meant Steam OS more specifically. The gaming mode provides a proper console experience, but with the added benefit of being able do whatever the fuck I want. I can run my usual open source software alongside games by simply adding them as a non-steam games, so I can play music with Clementine, use Mumble for voice chat, etc. My favorite thing about it is that it’s not a walled garden basically.

    Also, what do you mean about steam inserting DRM? Steam as a store allows games to be published with DRM is my understanding. But not all games on Steam have DRM, so how is Valve “inserting” DRM?

    The monopoly part is true though, but I’d argue that it is somewhat natural to reach this state given how shitty their competitors are vs how solid steam has been for decades.
