  • Assume an unlimited budget for now, I just want to know what’s out there.

    I mean, if you’re willing to pay the price of a car per SSD they go up to at least 122TB density per drive… (e.g. Solidigm SBFPF2BV0P12001 D5-P5336 – $16K~$20K depending on supplier from a quick search)

    I don’t actually recommend that for personal use, but since you were curious about what’s out there, there’s some absolutely crazy shit in enterprise server gear if you have deep enough pockets.


  • Running lsusb in the terminal returns Bus 001 Device 003: ID 057e:2009 Nintendo Co., Ltd Switch Pro Controller for the controller. I have no idea why this is, as I don’t think this is a Nintendo controller at all XD

    Assuming this is your controller it looks like it supports Switch motion controls specifically, and from your lsusb output it looks like they’re spoofing Nintendo’s USB vendor/product ID – presumably that’s how they make that work?

    If it works in the browser but not Steam, then it seems like it’s probably something specific to Steam, but I don’t know what. Doing a quick search, there are a number of threads about people having issues with Steam and Switch Pro controllers – maybe relevant? Steam might be getting confused by how it’s presenting itself? (Wild guess)

    If you test with jstest-gtk, does it show up sanely?

















  • I typically download videos from PeerTube (from the mp4 link they provide) and then do a quick pass with ffmpeg to make seeking work better. (ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -movflags faststart output.mp4) Then I can just play them in VLC.

    It’s technically possible to stream PeerTube in VLC if you grab the m3u8 out of the network requests, but it doesn’t seem to know how to fetch it on its own if you just give it a link to a video page though, unfortunately, and I’m not sure how to change the quality.
