I like NixOS

Direct message

Syncthing, which syncs my files between my phone and computer. I can rip a music CD on my computer and it’s instantly sent to my phone so I can listen to it on the bus or wherever.

Yeah, for an enemy you can find a model online, use a basic cube or cylinder, or make a model in Blender. Using Blender is pretty complicated so I would use some other model or a basic shape while you get started, you can always make one later. Then for enemy navigation you can use the built-in navigation system.

However, if this is your first time making a game, I would work on the first person controls before tackling navigation or modeling. For your first game you pretty much need to follow a tutorial to learn how to use Godot, so I’d find a tutorial like this one on how to make a first-person game. It could also be helpful to follow a basic tutorial like this one just to learn how Godot works. Learning how to make games is pretty difficult so don’t worry if it takes you a while to get things working, especially if you don’t have any programming experience.

The only other repository I have is IzzyOnDroid for somewhat faster updates of some apps.

Since that gpu has 24 GB of vram the game might be using more than it really needs, just because it can. The best way to test the importance of vram would be to get two cards of the same tier with different vram amounts (like the A770 8GB and 16GB) and see how that impacts performance.

What I do is have a separate /synced/media/music folder on both my pc and phone, and use syncthing for that and don’t worry about the default Android music folder.

For playlists I do that on my pc with the music player Strawberry, I can add songs to a playlist and save it as a .m3u file in that same /synced/media/music folder. The playlists still work on my phone since it’s just local paths from the root of my music folder. I would do playlists on my phone as well but I use JetAudio which is pretty buggy and doesn’t let me modify .m3u playlists, although I’m sure some other player would let you create and modify them.

NixOS is great, you can even have it automatically reinstall and wipe your garbage with Impermanence lol

Normally on the internet, you download files from a main server that’s hosting the files. With IPFS, it doesn’t matter if the files are stored on the main server or on the computer of someone else who has that file. However, if there is no main server and the only computer that was hosting it goes offline, then there is no way to access that file since it’s not stored anywhere else. IPFS doesn’t upload files anywhere when you add a file to your local IPFS node (since storing unlimited files for free would be very expensive), so when your computer goes offline there’s no way to access that file since no one else has it.

The file needs to either be stored on your computer, the computer of someone who viewed your file and hasn’t cleared their cache, or the computer of a file hosting provider like pinata.cloud or something.

It’s unencrypted, your ISP / Starbucks wifi can read all the files you send. Use SFTP instead.

If you run mpv https://url it will stream it from youtube and play it in mpv, without having to wait for the whole video to download first.
