Steam Link has saved my ass more times than I can count.
VPN having issues, can't connect to any of my stack? Atleast I have a desktop on my LAN I can remote into...from my phone...
Basically anytime I have network issues while I'm away, reliable Steam Link connects me back to my infra ~97% of the time.
Wait. Go on? Is this with or without the device?
For the record, I always wondered why I couldn't do something like this with whatever magic is happening under the hood with Syncthing.
I've been doing networking related things for over 20 years, and it's still wild what doesn't click for me...
Do you leave your gaming rig switched on at home at all times?
