In most games not noticeable. Only game I have trouble with is emulating Wii, playing Mario Galaxy. The pointer on screen lags, but I think that’s more due to the bluetooth adapter compatibility than any latency added by the usb-> ip -> wifi link.

I’m not an FPS player, so can’t speak to sub second latency….but I do racing sims on this, and it has no trouble with controls and force feedback.

In the house, anywhere with wifi. Can run decently down to 10-15mbps at 1080p60.

Remotely, over Tailscale, my home uplink is too slow for anything more than 720p60, but its low latency enough I can play games like Mario RPG and get timed hits correct. Or Clone Hero. Games like rocket league tend to be too fast tho, and video breaks up badly.

so Long as you have fast enough uplink, I think I’d be fine anywhere. Sunshine and moonlight are amazing, I used to use Parsec extensively but now it’s just moonlight and sunshine.

Works great. It’s my portable gaming box. I use virtualhere usb over ip on the same Pi too so I can use multiple controllers like a wheel or joystick, pass a full bluetooth adapter directly to it for emulators.

You keep the user-changeable files on a separate filesystem. Whether that’s just a separate partition, or an external disk. Keep the system itself read only, and write-heavy directories like logs and caches in RAM.

Go for a vintage correct OS for a challenge, try Haiku!

Wow. Thank you for that incredibly detailed explanation!!

It does sound like though that it is POTENTIALLY cheaper than something like B2, but also much easier to misconfigure and end up in a more expensive tier.

Seems to me unless you have a reason to use Amazon storage or already have something using it, using it for backup isn’t the best idea.

How much is their cheapest glacier tier? Seems complicated to calculate, seems there’s some relation to s3 storage or I’m just missing something? Haven’t looked that closely.

You could also pull all out through cloudflare and then it should be completely free

I had a pi 1b running my hvac/humidifier/HRV unit at home for years. Only removed it when we moved out.

So I’m SUPPOSED to run a miner to keep mine from being overly idle??

I have 2 Pi 4s in operation. One is a Moonlight/USBoverIP stream gaming portal. It automatically turns on and connects to a VM running Sunshine on my Proxmox host, passes any USB controllers/bluetooth etc to the VM so the big loud gaming box is in the basement and the tiny Pi is next to the TV. 1080p60 works great, minimal lag.

The other acts mostly as a quorum server for the proxmox servers, I have two proxmox hosts and use the second Pi to ensure the cluster doesn’t get split brain. It also acts as a USBoverIP host for my home automation Zigbee and Zwave usb sticks, so that either proxmox host can connect to the USB sticks and the home automation VMs aren’t locked to a physical host.

If you’re forwarding between haproxy instances, use proxy-protocol instead of forwardfor header forwarding.

I’m sure you’ve heard plenty through the forums, but Truenas virtualized is perfectly fine so long as you’re passing through an HBA directly. It doesn’t affect reliability any, but it doesn’t add any features either.

“Can I virtualized Truenas” is probably the second most popular question after “do I really need ECC ram”
