Fladder!

Basically I’ve been using Jellyfin for some years for streaming. Once I got the steam deck, I thought it’d be awesome to use it for offline viewing of Jellyfin content when I’m too tired to focus on a game, on long trakn rides!

So I looked for Jellyfin desktop clients, found one that I liked with offline downloads, namely Fladder. The install process for the Steam Deck wasn’t straightforward, so I learnt Flatpak packaging and submitted a PR to the GitHub project, which was well received. I can now watch my TV shows on the train when I don’t feel like playing!

I successfully did it about 2 years ago, following the instructions from this repo (last commit 2 years ago though…) https://github.com/MMMZZZZ/Jellyfin-Migrator

I’ve been using Fladder on my steam deck, it allows downloading for offline play. Works pretty well but the interface is too mobile centric IMO.

There was Jellyflix which had a similar feature but it wasn’t straightforward to get running on Linux. Haven’t checked it since!

For RTS (especially AoE II DE) I use them as:

• the SHIFT key(create 5 units instead of 1 when hold)
• activator for a different action group, where the joystick are mapped to a circular menu. E.g. one of these menu assigns units to one of the 6 quick groups in my circular menu, and I can then select these units with just the right joystick (no button pressed). Another one activates a right joystick circular menu to go to a building (and I did map nearly all building types…)

I can also combine these, to e.g. select all barracks

I’ll have a look at decky dictation, sounds pretty handy. Thanks for sharing!

Tried it on Android and Windows, I’m loving it! Finally I can synchronise movies on my laptop for travels, I have been looking for that for a long time! I can’t wait for the fix for the Linux release to use it on the steam deck as well.

Solo:

• Break the loop - small indie roguelite with some fun mechanisms
• Cassette Beasts - never played Pokemon before so any comparison would be helpless here. But a nice deck game on the train for sure!

Coop:

• For the King II - loved the first one, they did good with the second one
• Wartales - with 2 other friends, it’s our recurring Tuesday game night. Really fun gameplay!

It does look like a nice deck game. I only ever played World, but I eventually got tired by the endless grind. How is Rise in this regard?

Looks nice, I’ll give it a try! There’s also a Jellyfin community, don’t hesitate to crosspost there :)

Thanks for sharing! I’ve been using guvcview for a long time to control exposure and focus on my good old Logitech C920, but adding a ppa just for that seemed a bit too much. I will definitely have a look at it!

Not sure if it fits the bill, but it is categorized as a soulslike: Death Door. It’s an indie game, chill and cute atmosphere, still challenging but not too punishing. I haven’t played much soulslike before but I started this one on Steam Deck and I’m really digging it!

I think I saw a few issues about this leak that were not fixed by 10.9.1 so I’d say no. Personally I’m waiting a bit before upgrading

Looks great! I haven’t played with it before, but the multi-profile per game feature looks very handy

Yeah this user spammed another topic in the linux community, I was surprised to see a jellyfin topic being spammed too… That’s the price of being a popular software I guess!

Looks helpful, I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks!

There hasn’t been any release since a year either, the last one being 4.37.5 https://github.com/authelia/authelia/releases

But you can have a look at the github milestones, 4.38.0 is in the work and hopefully will be released sooner than later https://github.com/authelia/authelia/milestone/17

Regarding security: a quick browsing in the project’s issues, filtering by area:security did not show any flaws being reported since the last release. But there may have been undisclosed vulnerabilities the project’s dev are working on fixing for the next version. My personal non-professional non-legally-binding opinion is that it looks fine, so I do keep it running on my server.

The original dev has gone silent indeed, but a team of volunteers resumed development recently. So I wouldn’t call it outdated, but we’ll see if they’ll keep up the good work for long.

I’ve been using it for more than a year to automate a few stuff, it’s been good for this purpose so yeah I would recommend it :)

Windows only but does pack a pretty nice set of features: https://hassagent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

To give context I was never a good competitive player, so I’m talking about casual play. I think I’m slightly less responsive than mouse+kb, but playing on the train is just a blast!

I also had to bind other buttons to improve response time:

• dpad down to go to last notification
• dpad to cycle between forums
• dpad eight for inactive villagers, left for army

Then Right Joystick is a radial menu to go to 6 groups. A is select all on screen. On top of that, I binded shift to L1 (the bottom left palet) which can be user in combination of most other buttons I binded: e.g. create 5 units, assign to group, select all inactive villagers etc…

I went through the William Wallace campaign to tune my conf, but I find it pretty good now!

Age of empires II, I’ve cleared a few campaigns with it! Left pad as mouse region on bottom left icons, right pad as mouse.
