I have a cheap controller that has 2 modes, xinput and dinput, which automatically gets selected. If I plug it into a Windows PC it gets detected as X input and the controller shows a blue light and everything works including the rumble motors and pressure sensitive triggers. If I connect it to a Linux PC or any Android device via an OTG or if I connect that dongle directly into my Android TV, the controller shows a purple light and it gets detected as D input.

However, there is a small workaround that works for me is that when I connect that dongle into my PC when it is turned off and then I turn it on while the dongle is already connected. The controller shows a blue light and everything works normally. It is not detected as a D input device, it is detected as an X input device and everywhere, including steam, it is detected as an Xbox 360 controller.

This workaround, I did not know before but it is available or written on arch wiki. Here is the link. There is another way to always connect that device as an xinput device rather than relying on turning the PC on or off. It requires sudo permissions but I never got it to work properly, I always have to rely on rebooting the PC.

Somehow, this reminded me of the Kitchen Gun video by BBC.

If your ISP blocks port forwarding, this guide can help.

Which theme is it? I cannot find good Win7 Aero themes.

This guide can you help you expose your services in a relatively safe way.

If setting up official docker container looks hard, check out linuxserver.io’s docker container for Jellyfin. Even HWA is very easy.

I have used an old MacBook Air as a home server with Fedora for about 2 years. Fedora with Podman can be great, especially when you can use Cockpit (a GUI for managing containers), which is pre-installed and perfectly integrated.

Another option is to use TrueNAS. I can also recommend OpenMediaVault.

For exposing your services on the internet I suggest caution. If your ISP does not let you forward your ports, you can read this. https://blog.aiquiral.me/bypass-cgnat

Wow. You either have a very good memory, or you have a lot of time.

I don’t get it. What’s 24? And why is the first dialogue on the right, considering English is a left to right reading language?

And no, I don’t think you’re a bad artist. No one’s a bad artist. Everyone has their own way of expressing and drawing.

Ultimate Vocal Remover is a FOSS app using FOSS models for creating stems and extracting vocals, but it also has a few de-noising models.

Not Chinese or Japanese scripts, but I do use other non-latin scripts.

• I read Devanagri (Hindi) - नमस्ते
• I also read Gurumukhi (Punjabi) - ਸਤਸ੍ਰੀਅਕਾਲ

And no, we don’t use a larger font size.

I use mailbox.org with my own domains. And I encrypt my inbox using a PGP key I manage myself.

My setup is pretty much the same what Proton gives out of the box, I just manage my own keys rather than replying on the company.

Yes, my provider can see my unencrypted mails before my key encrypts it, but I trust them enough and I don’t pass sensitive information using emails.
