A simple cron job with youtube-dl works also fine.

Edit: But thanks for your suggestion! I’ll take a look

Edit 2: TubeArchivist looks nice, but way over my personal needs. Also, its performance requirements are quite high for my small server (4 Cores, 4 GB RAM). I’ll keep my small, scripted solution (yt-dl + store to nextcloud folders).

Is it possible to submit a channel and download all the videos (also new videos when they are released).

Based on the complexitiy of this setup, you need to be quite enthusiastic about your homelab.

If you need help, feel free to ask here on lemmy. At least my home instance has more linux users than windows users, and there are many who are happy to help.

True, only through heroic. It has been among the most wished features of GOG, yet never fulfilled.

That’s a tough one. Clearly, everyone hates both kernel-level anticheat and cheaters. The level of hate depends.

I could make another meme “Linux Gaming without Valve and Steam”, but it would have another picture on it…

It’s my observation that Valve has earned the trust of the linux gaming community and therefore is the one and only acceptable proprietary launcher.

Mandatory first party launchers?

I haven’t been playing on windows for years now, please forgive my lack of knowledge ;)

I must confess that I love the Assassins Creed series

You’re right. It’s just frustrating that most games could run better (or at all) if publishers paid just a little bit of attention.

Additionally, the first Alpha version of PlaytronOS has now been released for those of you who wish to test and give feedback. So far they note it has been tested across the AYANEO 2, ASUS ROG Ally, GPD Win 4 (2023), Lenovo Legion Go, Valve Steam Deck LCD and Valve Steam Deck OLED.

Quite a nice list of tested handhelds.

They say that even the cheap Intel version can play most retro games:

Ideal for light indie Steam games and retro gaming up to Wii U

With the ryzen variant, you can probably play most games.

The 8600G is quite a leap ahead of the Steam Deck in terms of performance and architecture. But of course you can just take the steam deck with you and play on the go or in bed ;)

You can probably build this yourself with bazzite and a compact pc, but the pricing looks pretty attractive (for the ryzen variant at least)

When I started using linux 15 years ago, my friend recommended to keep a windows partition for gaming. At least for me, I have deleted windows a few years ago and I’m not looking back.

Never use SMR drives for a RAID setup. But outside of RAID, they’re probably fine.

Interestingly, this CPU performs noticeably better under Linux than under Windows 11

The linked essay is quite long and (at least for me) hard to read. One of the first links in the article is to this patreon blog post, that summarizes the issue well.

As we first announced last year, Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024.

This has two major consequences for creators:

1. Apple will be applying their 30% App Store fee to all new memberships purchased in the Patreon iOS app, in addition to anything bought in your Patreon shop.
2. Any creator currently on first-of-the-month or per-creation billing plans will have to switch over to subscription billing to continue earning in the iOS app, because that’s the only billing type Apple’s in-app purchase system supports.

Before we go any further, we want to be crystal clear about one thing: Apple’s fee will not impact your existing members. It will only affect new memberships purchased in the iOS app from November onward.
