  • LIBERTY CANARY
    Date updated: 2024-11-14
    
    Cock.li is in 100% control of all of its hardware, and the service is still operating normally. The website (account registration+pw change) is currently offline.
    
    Cock.li will shut down before becoming complicit in crimes against its own userbase under duress of any government or organization.
    
    Cock.li is not under duress of any government or organization.
    
    Until further notice, THIS CANARY SHOULD BE UPDATED DAILY. Under no circumstances will we let this canary go 48 hours without changing the "Date updated" above unless a PGP-signed message changes the schedule.
    
    The schedule or PGP key used to sign this message may be changed only according to signed message from key 5CB49CDCEAC797FBF8BDC074FD71AD2771A5CC1B. Any message certifying the change of PGP key should be displayed alongside all messages signed with the new key for at least 7 days.
    

    The schedule being changed to daily is a fairly notable departure from monthly.




















  • Okay, so full disclosure, I haven’t used Netris at all yet, but I have used Sunshine/Moonlight extensively.

    Moonlight is an app that’s compatible with the Nvidia Gamestream protocol. You can stream directly from Geforce Experience to Moonlight, but Nvidia have deprecated it. Thankfully, an open source implementation of the Gamestream server exists called Sunshine, that is fully compatible with Moonlight (I don’t know how much of this you already know but other people will read it too). However, due to limitations in the design by Nvidia, the Gamestream protocol is a 1:1 connection. You get the display out from your PC and Geforce/Sunshine handles launching the app. So if you want a single card to handle two different gamers at once, you have to split it and create VMs, then install Sunshine individually to each one. These resource partitions are often also static.

    Netris on the other hand is based off of GeForce Now. Nvidia based it off of Gamestream, insofar as the connection between client device and server. But in terms of the software Nvidia runs on their servers, it’s designed to handle dynamic scaling of hardware to accomodate multiple clients. It handles getting however many 720p or 1080p or 4K streams out of a specific card, and can often split them unevenly when needed. As well it handles syncing of cloud saves and the creation and destruction of VMs. So to me it seems Netris is the full package needed for sticking a 3080 in a server and having 4-5 users all be able to utilise the one card to game concurrently.

    This will hopefully grow to become an excellent choice for smaller-time cloud providers to compete with Nvidia. And self-hosting it with a beefy CPU setup and SSD storage so it can handle multiple gamers at once. However, if you just want to stream a single PC for a single gamer (or even two seats using a VM running on your desktop) then Sunshine & Moonlight are going to be the better choice.
