🫡 you were good to us .ee, may you forever rest in peace.

dog cage (it was voluntary, don’t worry, I was a strange kid)

alvr is the way to go on linux, but it sadly has a long way to go before its as good as vr on windows. to be fair I play a lot of simulators in vr, which don’t have the same support as something like skyrim vr, but they have a small amount of visual issues with stuff like timewarp not seeming to work completely properly. for the time being though, alvr, steamvr, and a distro like bazzite or nobara (probably more, these are the main ones ive used) are the way to go. alvr’s discord is a good place to go if youre having any issues!

Yeah!

you can! (at least on googles android tv, not sure about amazon’s bastardized version) I use an app called button remaster, available from the play store, to switch my chromecasts youtube button to smart tube and netflix button to stremio

usually I get a lot of my info from youtube channels I like to watch; just seeing what they’re up to and if it’ll be relevant to me or just entertainment. some channels I enjoy are hardware haven, raid owl, techno tim, and christian lempa. I’m not super knowledgeable and also pretty new to self hosting but these guys have helped me a lot so I figure I pass em on and hope you gain from their knowledge as well!

that is kinda what I’m trying to do. truenas is nice and all but its also pretty advanced and not beginner friendly when it comes to a lot of things. I’ve heard a lot about casaos from a youtuber that I like to watch, but I never realized that it was more of a nas os than just a platform to run applications. I’ll give it a shot! thanks for the recommendation.

connect is never mentioned enough in threads like these

haven’t seen any comments mentioning connect yet, so that would be my recommendation. by far the most fully featured and smooth lemmy app imo and its my favorite. I’ve used most other apps but I always come back to connect because of all the different ways I can customize it and all the settings I can change that I simply don’t see in a lot of other apps.
