I might have phrased that badly with the 5 years thing. Obviously no one doing open source owes anyone else their time or effort. I do think that projects which stay afloat for a significant amount of time are those where the maintainers keep using the software for their own purpose.
In any case, I wish you good luck with that project, and might become a user if it comes to fruition too.
Most of these “project-but-without-<insert enshittification option here>” forks tend to be abandoned rather quickly unfortunately. Maintaining compatibility with a large codebase that is not yours is not the fun part of software development.
I would say clbre and arcalibre are already abandoned, looking at the activity on these repos (none in clbre, and issues/PRs piling up in arcalibre). If you can envision yourself still dedicating your time to this endeavor 5 years from now, you might as well move forward with your own thing.
Happy PC gaming !
GloSC used to be the way to go, in order to use the original Steam Controller with UWP games from Xbox gamepass. It is no longer developed or maintained due to ViGEmBus being EoL’d. Could still work though.
Seems the author of GloSC has moved on to SISR, which you already know about.
Yep, that’s why I call that a tradeoff. Far from perfect and yet so much better than nothing.
Pros:
Cons:
No, not for remote access over the internet.
For a remote and non-technical user I would say IP whitelisting offers a decent tradeoff.
On your end you expose your jellyfin port to internet, but restrict at the router level to your user’s client IP address as soon as you have it. Obviously in practice this works best if the address does not change often.
Oh so there is a proper name for this ! I have had those once in a while since I was a kid, and still get them well into my forties.
I do still remember the anxiety the first time it happened.
I like the enthusiasm, but I’m sure you realize why Jellyfin is more suitable for mainstream use. The pretty web UI, user management, watch tracking and device-specific clients are what makes the software actually useful if you want to serve media to “normal” people.
Announcing your redemption arc before even starting it sounds like a surefire way not to have one.
I have been building a backlog of both VR-native and VR-moddable games. I already own an Index and a Quest 3S. The latter I bought second-hand on the cheap and it really sold me on SteamVR streaming over WiFi. I have been waiting for the Frame in order to get a “modern VR” experience (wireless, pancake lenses, higher resolution, inside-out tracking, foveated rendering).
Native
Moddable
And then there are the oldies but goodies. I’ll likely return to Half-Life: Alyx for a 4th playthrough, and also have another go at Moss Book I & II. BeamNG.drive will definitely be back on the menu for various driving shenanigans, and Dungeons of Eternity for some multiplayer dungeon crawling.
