  • But our WebSocket streaming layer sits on top of the Moonlight protocol, which is reverse-engineered from NVIDIA GameStream.

    Mf? The GameStream protocol is designed to be ultra low latency because it’s made for Game Streaming, you do not need ultra low latency streaming to watch your agents typing, WTF?
    They’re gonna be “working” on a desktop, why the hell didn’t you look into VNC instead? RDP??
    You know, protocols with built-in compression and other techniques to reduce their bandwidth usage? Hello?? The fuck are you doing???


  • LiveLM@lemmy.ziptoLinux@programming.devWhat do you use with Waydroid?

    Do you have a TV in the same room as your PC? Or maybe have you connected it to your Living Room?

    I’ve setup a Android TV image, installed Jellyfin and SmartTube.
    Paired with a cheap bluetooth remote, it makes a pretty sweet media consumption setup for the couch.

    Now obviously, you don’t need Waydroid for this at all, you could use native applications but

    • The native Jellyfin app for Linux is just a wrapper around the web UI, so you need a mouse to use it, making it annoying to interact with from the couch
    • You can use Kodi with Jellyfin plugins, but the default Kodi skin sucks so you’ll find yourself taking a loooot of time configuring a third-party skin before you’re happy with the UI
    • You can get browser extensions that trick YouTube into loading their TV interface, but the stock YouTube TV UI sucks compared to SmartTube

    So yeah in the end I’ve found this setup to be my favorite “10-foot UI” for media consumption yet.
    You turn your desktop into an Android TV box except it’s the fastest you ever used and it has 0 bloat.
    Only thing it won’t do is full quality streaming from Netflix or other streaming services because DRM, but I don’t really care about that.


  • Go look at that Lisp kojumbo then tell me Rust is ugly.

    (defmethod wake ((object magic-packet) address port)
      (let* ((payload (encode-payload object))
             (size (length payload))
             (socket (usocket:socket-connect nil nil :protocol :datagram :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8))))
        (setf (usocket:socket-option socket :broadcast) t)
        (usocket:socket-send socket payload size :host address :port port)
        (usocket:socket-close socket)))
    

    Actually unreadable.







  • This feels like a distro built by a crazy man almost on par with TempleOS.

    For me what really cemented this perception was this:

    The ReadMe text file is truly a strange read and nothing at all like what I’ve encountered in any other project. It starts with a short rant against Kubuntu. Then it claims Gnoppix integrates AI into core applications, including e-mail and graphics editing. (As I will discuss later, this is misleading.)
    […]
    The ReadMe file then goes on to rant about tech journalism, and then falsely claims Ubuntu was developed from Gnoppix. (Ubuntu is based on Debian).





  • Sure, that’s wacky. But everything else is fine, things look hand sketched, the non-connecting and slightly crooked lines are just the fact of a fast sketch, AI artifacts don’t really look like this.
    And above all I don’t think AI would be able to parse the original meme and adapt it into the “End of Evangelion” meme template while still keeping the elements from the original (the shark biting the fiber cable and the “AI” handcrank for example) or without falling into that stupid synthetic “Anime/Ghibli” style.

    Edit: I’m pretty sure that text says “DNS”, since there where two “DNS” pegs on the original name, it’s just that the lines of the letter “N” didn’t properly connect and the letter “S” came out a little crooked.
