Parsec afaik isn't super compatible with linux much, I know the latest raspbian doesn't support it.

Consider SteamLink it has a linux app and works really well for remote gaming.

I use parsec pretty often. It should work but moonshine/sunset is less latency in my experience

I think you meant Moonlight and Sunshine xd

lol, yes! I'm keeping the error though for prosperity.

I think you meant posterity. :)

I should never type pre lunch. <3

i love this.

You could use Moonlight as client and Sunshine as streamer, both are in the store app.

And if you don't know about port forwarding you can use ZeroTier or Twingate (it's like Hamachi)

I found Tailscale to be easier to install and configure than ZeroTier, and also to have better performance.

I have never used Twingate.

Yes, but tailscale is a privacy nightmare, because your private keys are stored in their servers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The public keys are stored on the server (by necessity) but not the private keys. The actual connection is directly between two of your own machines, or routed through a DERP server (encrypted end-to-end) in rare cases.

But if you're concerned, you can instead self host headscale or netbird.

The public keys can be stored anywhere, it doesn’t matter. That’s why they’re called public: because they’re not private, they’re not sensitive, they’re not a secret.

That makes zero sense. Where did you get that idea from?

For reference, here are their docs describing key management. https://tailscale.com/blog/tailscale-key-management

You can trust them, but you shouldn't trust any open source project by default, and it's even more important in the context of big corporate software.

No reason it shouldn’t work, other than user configuration errors

Alternative, which I hope people can correct me on.

Could you add minecraft as a game on steam and the setup steam remote play instead?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

when i open the alt tab menu it crashes minecraft

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I fail to understand, could you elaborate a bit more on the steps you’ve taken?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Nvm it works
