Highly recommend wlxoverlay for monado, for me SteamVR overlay never has a working desktop view so I can’t see my monitors.

It’s been broken for years and valve will never fix it: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/426

Just FYI, use Monado for VR, SteamVR is a massive pile of trash on Linux.

Corporate nets use 802.1X authentication, risk of a DHCP hijack is very low.

As someone who works in large corporate networks, we absolutely don’t assign static IPs outside of core network gear, it’s impossible to manage a fleet of servers in this way with scaling in mind.

Instead of doing a manual action in two different places and having to keep them in sync, just do it once on the DHCP server. Setting a static IP on the server is superfluous.

good general advice until you have to try to explain to your SO the VPN is required on their smart TV to access Jellyfin.

don’t do this, use DHCP reservations instead so you actually have a list of all your servers and most routers register hostnames in DNS for you which is even better.

I run an RPi4 at 4k30 and it does well.

In my opinion it definitely is, parsec is missing features on Linux.

A modern RPi can run it pretty well with hardware decoding. Also something like an nvidia shield.

Pretty sure samba won’t do anything if you haven’t configured it. Make sure you do some basic setup first:

You are a legend

This is your life now, if you move and wake them you will have committed a great crime.

My personal opinion, as soon as you’re charging and providing SLAs you’ve exceeded what you should be doing on a residential ISP.

I’d really recommend putting your app in a real cloud solution, which can provide actual load balancing via DNS natively for regional failover if you desire.
