Gamers Nexus might start including Linux gaming tests in their hardware reviews in c/linux_gaming

That would definitely make sense for it's own video but I could see them wanting to focus on just SteamOS if they plan on having it be a regular stat when they do benchmarks

GN could pick any Linux distro and get metrics but they'll want to be consistent and pick what will be most relevant.

For most people SteamOS will be the pick when moving away from windows pretty much entirely because it's "Valve's" OS, who are a known entity compared to "whoever makes this Bazzite thing" (or whatever other distro). This will give them more confidence to switch as they are familiar with/trust Valve to some extent and know that they're going to make sure their os works and can play games as well as can be expected on Linux. Obviously we know you can do it on other distros but switching your OS is a big change and people will want more assurance.

GN could cover performance on other distros but I think that would probably just be noise to people who are on the fence/not that interested compared to "here's how things work on Valve's SteamOS". (Also probably just provides a clear starting point and direction for GN)

I'd be shocked if a game like this didn't work under proton

The sad truth is that anti-feminist backlash helped propel Trump to victory in c/politics

Feel like there are a lot of people that literally just vote "hopefully something different will be better" with zero regard for what the candidates are apart from which of their parties has the current administration. This is of course really dumb, especially considering what Trump said he wants to do, but the base logic of "this isn't working for me" is understandable at least. Dems running candidates that represent more of the same again...

Isn't that the global market share of Linux itself

How is anime and manga more popular than comics and western cartoons? in c/nostupidquestions

[–] sxt 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Comics have an issue with Marvel and DC sucking up most of the air in the room just to rehash the same characters for the millionth time. I'm generally pretty unenthused with superhero stuff and the general aesthetic around that content, however I do like batman to an extent and have enjoyed the movies and stuff related to him. If I wanted to read a batman comic where do I even start? The beginning? Which beginning? His first appearance back in the 40s or the beginning of one of the many iterations of batman? Now I have to do research into 80 years of content just to figure out what to read, or just pick one at random.

The appeal of manga is just being able to read three series in a week that each explore a different setting/idea and are only one volume apiece. If someone tells me to read a longer series I can just start at chapter one and go until I hit the end. Manga/anime absolutely have some oversaturated settings/ideas as well but there's generally a lot more space for other stuff to get seen and do well, get anime adaptations, etc

Did this release see sched_ext merged? Was looking forward to messing around with that.

Issues forwarding traffic through a wireguard connection (self.selfhosted)

I am attempting to follow this https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2022/09/wireguard-port-forward-from-internet to forward traffic from a few ports on a public oracle vps to other ports on my local server through a wireguard connection. Currently I am doing this using rinetd, but I was looking for a more normal way of forwarding traffic. (Also looking to forward UDP traffic at some point.)

After stopping rinetd, adding these rules to the public server's wg config

# packet forwarding
PreUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

# port forwarding
PreUp = iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens3 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.144.65.2:8443
PostDown = iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i ens3 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.144.65.2:8443

# packet masquerading
PreUp = iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE

and restarting the wg connection, I'm seeing traffic on the ens3 port but none entering wg0 via tcpdump. I feel like I probably have conflicting iptables rules saved https://pastebin.com/0eNwhNKM but I don't really know enough about whats going on there to fix it. I feel like its probably the wireguard-*-rule ones (created by pivpn possibly?) but I'm not sure.

Edit way later: Ended up just using rinetd for the udp connections. Ubuntu doesn't include the latest version here https://github.com/samhocevar/rinetd which is able to do UDP connections. The docker container RxBrad suggested uses that version within the docker container to make the redirections so it will be roughly equivalent.
