We used a ps4 controller as a mouse on our tv/media center. Its wired/Bluetooth and comes in as a mouse on our Linux box. No setup, just connect and it works.
Hiya, quick question! Do you have a system for backing up or game save files? I recently discovered GameVault, but the client seems to be a bit unfinished, from first glance, do correct me if I’m wrong. Are there any other similar clients like this? And or simple solutions for easy finding save files and backing them up?...
I’ve used nextcloud with a dedicated folder before. Steamdeck and miyoo mini works with it well. That or good old fashioned sd card, look for .sav then push all into another drive.

I tried running my own instance. Got it setup, got an account, then started to follow communities. I couldn’t get it to work with lemmy world and done of the bigger instances. I gave up after a weekend. It’s unfortunate, the invites were stuck in pending for about a week or so.
I’m still using this server, but would like my own as that would ever do slightly help with this servers bandwidth.
I’ll try it again when I have motivation. Personally I just get weekends to do this sort of things. And with work wanting overtime…yeah I’ll prob get around to it in 2025.
When we do defcon, Bluetooth is one of the easiest protocols to take control of. It’s funny. It’s also easy to spoof, easy to mess with, and generally very insecure.
Its more complex than I can talk about here in any kind of depth, but it comes down to it being a very old protocol. It has known security issues that are just not fixed as it would break backwards compatibility with a lot of devices. So the same issues that were chosen to not be fixed are still out there. You can, with very little effort, take control of just about any Bluetooth device(or partial). Or at least knock it out if commission.
There is a book series called rats bats and vats, which is a humorous book that has the shareholders own everything and only clones/animals do all the real work. If you were not a shareholder, you were akin to a slave.
If we keep going, the ai and ourselves will be the non-shareholders in this situation.
