Oh how far we've come.
My home internet is a fiber gigabit 3g/3g up/down. Tucked away under the staircase is where my fiber ONT terminates and it is my server room. I have half a dozen boxes running various things. 4 symmetric 2012 i7 mac minis running linux KVM, and hosting various critical services - pihole, home automation, Homekit Secure Video etc.
Then there a giant former gaming PC with 7 HDD bays running the entire storage backend for a whole load of GoPro/Osmo/Insta360 videos I capture. Rclone to Google Photos for back-up. I don't edit any videos. Just there to capture memories so I can at some point when AI tools get good enough just have it generate clips. Same box runs my plex server with HW transcoding.
Then there is the actual gaming PC, a mini-ITX running steam remote play. Has power, a network cable and a fake HDMI dongle that emulates a monitor to trick the GPU into thinking something is actually plugged in.
Basically everything I do with desktop PCs at home is via some sort of remote interface.
Remote gaming is probably the most demanding of all of these. Low-latency HW-accelerated solutions eg: Parsec / steam-link are incredible technologies.
I carry an AppleTV + PS5 controllers to friends' houses and play the latest games across the internet.
- deadbabe 2y agoThe most impressive thing here is that you physically go to friends houses to play games together.
- varenc 2y agowhat impressed me is the 3gigabit up/down fiber connection. That seems unattainable in San Francisco.
- saagarjha 2y agoDoesn’t Sonic offer 10 to many homes?
- bombela 2y agowhat impressed me is the latency low enough to game remotely. This seems unattainable in the bay area.
- throwaway314155 2y agoBelieve it or not, some users here are in fact from other places than the Bay Area. I know, shocking, right?
- deadbabe 2y agoThe Bay Area was once the epitome of high tech, now it lags compared to other places that are more organized and not misguided by charlatans.
- dalanmiller 2y agoDo you have a write up on how you get this to work with Apple TV? What you have I consider the dream setup.
- pmalynin 2y agoI’ve used Moonlight before https://github.com/moonlight-stream https://github.com/moonlight-stream You can just follow that thread no write up needed tbh
- throwaway314155 2y agoThe honest answer is that it doesn't work very well in practice. This is seemingly worsened over Wi-Fi on AppleTV whose Wi-Fi stack constantly interrupts streaming in order to do a variety of things with their "location services". Moonlight works great (over ethernet at least) locally though.
- culi 2y ago> at some point when AI tools get good enough just have it generate clips iPhones already do this today. I'm often surprised how well made they are
