Thanks for the feedback everyone! I really thought you got to *be* the plastic duck. I appreciate your help, because I wasn’t expecting a glorified screensaver.

Honest question, is there a good default config available somewhere or is what apt install fail2ban does good to go? All the tutorials I’ve found have left it to the reader to configure their own rules.

Does anybody have a source that’s not bogged down with more ads than article? Has the update been pushed to users who aren’t on the beta channel?

I had problems with the “basic” method of launching battle.net as a non steam game. The Lutris method worked for me.

That’s a bummer, I wish I had another idea.

As an alternative, you could try Desktop mode and SGDBoop.

Grab SGDBoop from the Discover store, and then enable the shortcut button on the SteamGridDB website. You can browse for your games and apply artwork with a button that appears. For non-Steam games you may have to select the title from a list.

I haven’t found this process to be too painful for the handful of games I have that don’t have grid art.

I’ve played games on both Switch and Steam Deck, and older games the Steam Deck blows the Switch out of the water at 1920x1080. Examples include Avicii Invector, Skyrim, and Yooka-Laylee.

It’s games like Diablo and Metal Hellsinger that make me concerned about Hogwarts Legacy and LEGO 2K Drive.

Not that you should have to for a confirmed game, but when in doubt ProtonGE tends to fix things.

TIL. That’s not cool.

Warning: The 1TB versions are 65% off their never actually used price of $300. They are only a couple bucks cheaper today than yesterday, and I opted not to buy one because that’s just shady behavior on Amazon’s part.

Tools like CamelCamelCamel can help you avoid getting scammed by Jeffery!

Those should all be built in to Retroarch (Dolphin for GameCube). You will need to ask a piracy community for help with Switch emulation. Emudeck will install just about everything you need except for the parts that fall under copyright.

An update for what I’ve found:

The path Google/Reddit had was invalid, but there was a cache file there that helped me locate the actual directory (at least for my Steam Deck) and identify which layout goes with which game.

The path I found was: /home/deck/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Steam Controller Configs/{USER_ID}/config/

I’ll bring this up to the others.

Google’s result was a Reddit post, so it is best to have a copy of this information in lemmy.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks so much for this, it’s what I really wanted to know.

Is the conversion from mAh to Whr something you can explain to a five year old, or should I really just search-engine that conversion if I need to in the future?

The problem is the insane CPU usage by the steam process and it’s associated web helpers as shown in the other comments. The fans are doing what they’re supposed to.

No, you are not understanding correctly.

The Genki covert dock was DOA when I got one, so I don’t trust them.

Something Valve implemented is out of control. How do I get this to not truncate the command?
