Welcome — Jacky Alciné

Welcome to my Website. Ideally, this spot would have some sort of ‘stats’ about what I've published here recently. But for now, I can only say that iced hibiscius tea with a bit of lemon juice and brown sugar is what I'm probably drinking.

Here lies the things I've liked, bookmarked or interacted with across the Web (and beyond). Some people call them reactions or replies - I consider them my feedback back to the Web from my site.

Streaming the Steam Deck to OBS

Valve was kind enough to send Steam Deck devkits to Arch Linux maintainers and developers which gave us an opportunity to mess around with the device. Personally I find it a bit fun to mess around with video streaming, thus one of the first things I wanted to try figure out was how I could stream the gamemode on the Steam Deck. Installing the OBS flatpak and adding it to the menu doesn’t actually work so we sadly have to be a bit more clever.

Once my Deck arrives, I'll be looking to see if I can automate some of these steps. Even considering doing a remote activation.

Microblog

My Microblog is where I post quick notes or semi-formed posts. Things that don't quite fit into what I'd consider a blog post but also would need a permalink.

As I'm not a big coffee drinker, I'll vote for no cups. I grew up drinking tea a lot and outside the occasional cup of coffee for my mom, I haven't really had any!

No, I wish! It's an interview from two people I follow and like their opinions, lol. The moment I do, I'll reply to the original post with it (keeping it open in a tab just for that).

This is deep. I do feel capitalism plays a role into this (from a social aspect) where the act of getting something new or doing something semi-novel is celebrated but having to keep what you want/need around is slightly antithetical to it so we're conditioned to be disgusted about it. Not to ship/praise the company, but after getting a Framework laptop, though slightly constrained on the tweaking, I pop it open like once a week just to glance at the parts and appreciate the craftsmanship that's gone into it. There's definitely a cultural thing to just appreciating what we have that's missing.
