It doesn’t work, because it relies on Piped/Invidious. Both are currently broken, because Google is trying everything to block third party clients/APIs/proxies for YouTube.

Well yeah, I agree. FOSS apps do lack features like logging in (to a Google account), the recommendation algorithm, etc. On the other hand, ReVanced is not exactly easy to install for new users. Both approaches are valid and get the job done (blocking annoying ads). I appreciate the calm and pleasant conversation.
I know that it exists, I don’t think it’s a particularly good solution on Android though. There are native apps like the ones I mentioned before.
Btw syncing an SQLite database with syncthing sounds painful. How often do you have to deal with sync conflicts?
I just don’t want any proprietary software on my devices (for many reasons, most importantly privacy and user freedom). I can use a VPN to privately connect to the YouTube backend, but things get much harder when the proprietary spyware is actually on my device.
If you want to use YouTube for that, it seems like ReVanced is your only option. But you can also create an account on a Piped instance, and have your playlists synced. LibreTube is the only app that supports this.
I’d say they are objectively better, because are independent, free & open source apps, instead of relying on patching Google’s proprietary software.
Corporations steal from us all the time, and they don’t even let us buy their content, they only sell limited access that can be revoked at any time (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/9531016 or https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/12904663). Under these circumstances, there are no ethical issues with piracy.
Tailscale might be the easiest and best solution for this. It’s like Hamachi, but more modern and much better. They even have a guide on how to set it up on the Steam Deck: https://tailscale.com/blog/steam-deck
Yes, I know, draw.io theoretically isn’t entirely open source, but the source code is available and it can be self-hosted. Honestly, that’s good enough for me, I think I can make an exception for this one. But generally I care a lot about strictly using FOSS too. It can also be integrated with Nextcloud: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/drawio
There’s a fork called Input Leap that is working on Wayland support. Most of the maintainers of Barrier have now moved on and are working on Input Leap.
Sure, CoreHunt is nice, but I still prefer ANGRYsearch or just good old fd or find from the command line
I’ve been addicted to Unrailed recently, it’s genuinely a great game that (at least for me) never gets boring. I’m desperately waiting for Unrailed 2. Even the multiplayer works really well on the Steam Deck/Linux in general.
I tried Floorp and didn’t like it either, I’m glad there’s a more promising looking project out there now. Still great to see more development in the Firefox/Gecko ecosystem. We don’t need more Chromium garbage.
Supports FF Sync.
Hell yeah, fuck Nintendo, don’t let them take away your right to emulate the games you paid for (hell, I don’t mind if you emulate games you didn’t pay for, Nintendo is a massive scumbag company, it’s totally fine to pirate their stuff)
They only backport (some) OS patches, the firmware doesn’t get updated after the vendor classifies a device as EOL.
They have an install script that makes this much easier. https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale
I summed up the steps:
Create an account at https://login.tailscale.com/start
Open Konsole and copy-paste the following commands, then hit enter to run them:
git clone https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale.git; cd deck-tailscale
sudo bash tailscale.sh
source /etc/profile.d/tailscale.sh
sudo tailscale up --qr --operator=deck --ssh
This will give you a QR code, that you need to scan with your phone. You will have to log in to Tailscale to add the Steam Deck to your Tailscale network.Try running
sudo tailscale update
If this works, i.e. if you don’t get any error messages, run
sudo tailscale set --auto-update
If you use Decky Loader, I recommend installing the Tailscale Control plugin, which lets you control Tailscale from the Steam menu. You can also use KTailctl to control it from desktop mode.
