I know this is a long stretch. But somehow I really want to try and see if I can run VRChat on my SBC (Orange Pi5, RK3588). So far I got the basic setup working (game starts executing) and what I did is as follows. But it always fail to initialize Direct3D 11:

  1. Download and install Proton and VRChat on my Linux PC
  2. SCP the entire steam folder to the SBC
  3. Install box64
  4. Try starting the game by running
  5. It crash due to the driver not supporting Vulkan. Thus DXVK fails. (see attached image)

I have tried to use WineD3D and follows the Notes about Unity game emulation section on box64. But in the console it shows D3D11 fails to init then Unity exits.

Is there any way I can get around this besides using llvmpipe?

I’ve been working on a project that I need constant access (and executing commands) among at least 3 hosts in work. I’ve been using SSH’s Host function to manage which host I’m connecting to. However, I find it increasingly annoying that I can’t see which host I’m connected to via the tab on my terminal emulator (I’m using Windows Terminal on Windows and Konsole on Linux).

Is there a good SSH GUI client that can show which host a session is connected to? I’ve tried Termius. But $10 per month is too expensive to me for what I’m doing (and I don’t need most of the paid feature).

 

I got my new PC for about 3 or 4 months. Today, I was using my PC as usual and suddenly everything stopped reacting. Rebooting just boots be into the UEFI interface. Which is very concerning.

Then I got a liveusb to look into what's happening. Upon using smartctl. It shows that my SSD have 0% spare capacity despite only writing 15TB to it.

So far, I knew that Samsung's EVO 980 and 990 SSDs have a firmware bug that can cause this. But this is the 1st time I know of 970 Pros having this issue.

I know there's a lot of servers using consumer drives for their system. Be careful and check if you are using a 970. If so, check the spare capacity RIGHT NOW and decided if to upgrade the firmware or RMA the product.

 

Just wanna share something I built. Easy to use API for GNUnet in C++.
