Well I do have Home Assistant, been running it for years, but HA is solely for ... well home assisting (or IoT). HA as integrations but let's say I want to use HA with ... any of my other services, e.g. CopyParty to maybe store logs and makes them available or PeerTube to have videos from my camera, I can look at HA integrations, or CopyParty... issues maybe, or PeerTube npm registry.
My point being that HA is a good example with integrations but it's just one example. If I do take this example seriously though, is there a mechanism beside manual search in the list of integration that would list integrations with my services directly?
Right, better be safe than sorry. The important point though IMHO that with Proton and now FEX they have shown that compatibility layers are not that costly or complex :
try to make it run
nothing works
note precisely what doesn't, try a way
one thing work and it's slow as heck
understand why
2 things now work, one of them is fast, the other slow
rinse&repeat until it's good enough to crowd source quality control to others
So... I don't want to diminish how amazing that is, technically speaking, but we now all know it's feasible. Initially it looks like supporting an entire OS architecture was ridiculous (and it was, emulation was just "good enough" for games that were some years old and for much more powerful machine) until somebody tried "just" swapping or fixing the right API (i.e. DirectX) and ... that was actually OK.
Again, it's a TON of work. A lot of it also comes from Wine. But... now we now why it works and how to do that. Even if Valve were to lock SteamOS, that knowledge wouldn't be lost on the broader community.
PS: they briefly mention this during the Tested video (sorry YouTube only) on the new hardware.
FWIW been using SteamOS on the SteamDeck for ~3 years now and from gaming to tinkering, no major problems. Never had to tinker hard or re-install. A couple of time it didn't suspend properly or I had to hold power button of to force a shutdown but that's about it.
I doubt Valve would back of from the openness because that's their one single advantage.
True, but would one want to have a BigTech labels on their Linux distribution? Wouldn't that kind of miss the point and bring us back to e.g. ChromeBooks?
I'm a bit too lazy to check for the entire stack I admit but I bet a lot of those actually do. Still to do a quick check Google for examples is on https://ev.kde.org/supporting-members/
Eh... aren't most of the largest corporations contributing to Linux already? I'm not sure what you need beside Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Samsung, etc https://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/members
I recommend you give that, or something equivalent, a go without even buying any hardware. Either ask a friend or go to an arcade. You don't need to shell out a grand to try.
Different networks entirely. AFAICT no IP is hardcoded, only domain names which are the same.
But... please feel free to check the URL, it seems to work.
My hypothesis is that the player in the browser, maybe due to WebWorks, had cached the IP of the content. So I was getting the UI/API from the new IP but the content itself (namely video files) from the old IP which might have created some CORS/CSP issues and that the player itself blocked it. (updating the post on the forum with that idea in case others get in a similar situation)
same
... well that's the part I'm challenging. I was thinking like this but I'm wondering if that could be improved.
PS: I use ntfy and like it, that was just an example.
