Probability that the next steam deck is arm based? - Lemmy.World
My personal opinion is that the frame is a bit of a Trojan horse for widening
the hardware they can run games (via Steam) on. With folks playing more and more
indie and lower power requirement games, the rise of retroid pockets and Android
gaming in general has taken off, and initiatives like gamehub lite have made it
possible to run even Skyrim on these low power handhelds. On the same token, the
amount of performance per watt that Apple has been able to get out of custom arm
based silicon is astounding. Valve has said they wouldn’t release another steam
deck unless it represented a generational leap. That sort of leap would be
something like the intel —> m1 that Apple produced. What’s most exciting for me,
is better steam support on multiple architectures. I think what’s most exciting
for Valve, is their software and storefront running on more devices and
providing a better experience than ever before. From VR to the deck to the
desktop to the living room, I think their strategy at this point is pretty
clear.
Wayland GUI in an Unpriviliged LXC container (proxmox)

Wayland GUI in an Unpriviliged LXC container (proxmox) - Lemmy.World
Hi all, I’ve recently got a proxmox server up and running, and cutting my teeth
on it setting up some services (thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier
post!). One thing I’m struggling with currently, and it’s admittedly not
straightforward, is getting a graphical session up and running. What I have
working so far is an arch based lxc container, with gpu pass through. nvidia-smi
on the lxc reports as usual, and so that seems to be working fine. Upon
installing a graphical session, say cinnamon, with lightdm, however, I can’t
seem to open any display. I can have a virtual terminal available via the
proxmox ui, and though I haven’t tried, I’m sure I could ssh in just fine as
well. For what it’s worth, I have a display connected to the host system; the
host does not have any graphical sessions. I’d like for the time being to use
this host display, and have passed through /dev/fb0. What I haven’t tried is
running a pure x11 based session. I’d really prefer to use a Wayland session
with cinnamon, but if necessary I can try to get an x11 session running. I
additionally have not installed any vnc servers. The errors I tend to get when
trying to start cinnamon center on not being able to get a session ID, not being
able to connect or open a display, and not being able to connect or find a dbus
session. Lightdm says it is running as a service on systemctl status lightdm.
Anyone have any ideas for how to get a session going graphically? I’m not sure
how to even pass a tty to the connected monitor from the lxc. Thanks for any
help or guidance — if I do figure this all out, I plan to make a guide for
future folks.
First time software set up help - Lemmy.World
Hi everyone, I am trying to repurpose a Ryzen 1700 system for a home server, but
not exactly sure what the best solution for my needs is, and how to find
additional resources. More context, I have 4 8th hdds (wd blue drives; would’ve
preferred reds but, alas). I intended to run these in raid10, but open to other
ideas also. These are connected via sata directly to Mobo. I’d like to selfhost
a nice NAS stack, to include: my own office 365 / google docs thing, file
storage, and storage and playback of music and video files. I’d like to run
jellyfin and a myriad of ‘arr things. Please send any and all suggestions.
Should all of these run on a single virtual machine? Alongside this, probably in
a separate virtual machine, I’d like to run a home assistant instance with some
mild transcoding (I think) going on in regards to some cameras I have around the
house. I also think I’d run tail scale to vpn back in? What I’ve researched so
far is proxmox and casaos (lightly). Casaos is alluring mostly because it seems
like an easy on ramp, with lots of visual configuration. I enjoy CLI config, but
visual configs are easier to discover settings and options that might not occur
to me. I’d ideally favor stability here, as I like to tinker, but don’t have a
huge amount of time for it. Am I on the right track with all this? Any pitfalls?
Any must have self hosted software I should be sure to include? Should I set up
the storage pool in proxmox first as raid10? Any general advice? Words of
encouragement? I’ll take it all. Apologies if this is the wrong forum — if so,
please feel free to delete (and direct me hopefully to a more appropriate
locale). Edit: forgot to mention, system also has a slower ssd boot drive, and a
1070 I plan to pass thru as needed.
Also, I am planning on purchasing some more hyper PLA to see if I can observe the same buzzing with that filament. I can’t imagine the filament type would cause the buzzing, but strange things do happen. Will report back here with any findings on that, but if anyone else has any thoughts in the meantime on this buzzing, I’m very keen to hear them!
Creality K1 Intermittent Buzzing

Creality K1 Intermittent Buzzing - Lemmy.world
TLDR: is the buzzing in linked video normal / okay / expected? If not, is there
a way to fix it? I’ve just been putting my Creality K1 through it’s paces, and
after using up all the hyper PLA that came with the unit, started printing some
inland black basic PLA. Since then, I’ve noticed some buzzing sounds on either
pure x axis or pure y axis moves. Video attached showcasing it. It doesn’t seem
to create any buzzing on infill moves or perimeters that have a radius. Any
straight lines though seem to cause the buzzing. Prints seem okay (though inout
shaper seems off for sure looking at corners). I don’t remember it happening
with the hyper PLA which I printed at the same speed (I am printing the black
inland at higher temp to compensate for reduced flow). Thanks for any help or
feedback! Enjoying the community on Lemmy here so far :)
Creality K1 Tramming -- Loosen Z Screw and Tune?

Creality K1 Tramming -- Loosen Z Screw and Tune? - Lemmy.world
My Creality K1 bed is actually in pretty good shape (max deviation of 0.7mm left
to right, 0.1mm back to front), but I recognize that many folks might have beds
that are off as much as 1.5 or more mm. The K1 has 3 lead screws, but not proper
3 point leveling (maybe someone will create a daughter board and a 3 point
conversion kit in the future, after Creality open sources their firmware for the
K1 series – anyone out there that does this, I’d probably throw some small
amount of money at you). As far as I understand it, there are currently two
methods to properly tram your bed: 1. Follow the creality way, which is
essentially immobilize the bed with shipping screws and retension the belt that
synchronizes the 3 Z screws. To do this, you must turn the printer on it’s side,
remove the bottom panel, and fight the tensioner. Reports are mixed luck doing
this. 2. Skip teeth. You still have to do the bottom removal, but instead of
completely removing the belt and detensioning, you slip the teeth on the belt
drive (I think this is something like 0.4mm for each slipped tooth). There is
less information about this, but there’s a video in Chinese showing someone
doing it. Perhaps a more helpful guide would democratize this more, and it might
have more success than 1? My question is: there are grub screws on the 3 lead
screws, on the top side, accessible from the printer cabinet – would it be
possible to loosen the grub screws, so the z rod in that position spins freely,
turn that z rod just slightly, then reseat the grub screw? That would seem a lot
easier to relevel the bed, than doing either of the above procedures. Am I
missing something?
