Zone aware networked alarms exist for a reason. This sounds kind of sketchy to me…

You can do this much simpler with the HA app registering back with your network when home or BT proximity to a location.

🤣

My gawd. The hoops you jump through. Just take the L and walk on, slugger.

This right here.

An example:

Application Payload = 100MB AppImage all inclusive image with deps = 175MB Flatpak App Layer = 101MB Flatpak Deps = 75MB

Now say you’re shipping 1000’s of similar applications with the same general dependency chains in bulk operations to things like end-user devices.

Flatpak wins. That’s the point.

This isn’t a discussion about an average Desktop user saving some disk space.

Can you give more specifics about device drops? Have you looked at the mesh layout in HA to see what connections are being made between devices?

You may not have a distance issue that a new adapter will fix. You might just need a repeater/router.

Linux has been the most prolific OS on devices for 25 years, friend.

Go back 20 years. See how many times this prediction has been made 🤣🤣

The only shift now is Microsoft shitting the bed so hard that people don’t want to deal with them. The difference this time is the MacBook Neo.

People would gladly pay Apple $600 for a working machine WITH support and stores everywhere to get help if they have hardware issues. It’s the new iPhone business model. They’ll be taking more desktop market share than people even imagine on the price point alone.

I don’t really get the point of the blog, honestly, because in the first part they are railing against one angle, then reverse and argue FOR it in a sense by saying Flatpak just works. Of course it does. That’s it’s job.

AppImage also just works, but there is a fundamental difference in the delta of what you get as a payload. AppImage has EVERYTHING the image needs to run. Flatpaks only contain the running code and custom dependencies, then it’s manager solves for shared libraries and generics from commonly available layers to download and run to solve for those deps.

Both make sense depending on how you feel you need to tackle the problem.

Where the author kid of goes off the rails is complaining that somehow either camp is somehow responsible for their product being popular enough to survive and be taken up by Valve. In this specific case, Valve is intending to include simple packaging for games and libraries they intend to ship to millions of cross platform devices. Flatpak makes sense from a bandwidth and storage standpoint for end-users.

AppImage does not. No idea why this person is taking issue with that.

Flatpak makes more sense for how Valve will be using it for all their new devices. Simple as that.

They “shit” money into ALL kinds of development that pushed lots of projects forward a decade in maybe a years time, and are doing it again with FEX. Are you taking issue with allmof that, or just this because they have a business use-case?

If you’re getting file verification errors, it probably means there are issues with files on one end of the other.

So a few things:

1. What’s this remote machine, and have you checked the filesystem recently?
2. Have you checked the filesystem on your local machines you’re copying files from?
3. Have you tried copying to an empty remote.traget directory and seeing if you still get these errors?
4. If 1 & 2 are fine, and then 3 works without problems, make a short list of some of the files that are throwing errors. Do they happen every single time at these same files? What’s unique about these files?

Versions should be fine. Your options matter though, so send the full command you’re using.

Also try this:

1. Open one terminal window and run a ping at your remote machine and let it keep running
2. Open another term and run your sync. See if ping lags or delay issues start when the rsync issues start in both windows

Jaguar with 4GB of RAM. It’ll do all the normal desktop stuff and games up through maybe PS2 no problem.

Make sure you add at least 4GB of swap though.

It won’t work.

Like every these, repetition is key, and also stepping through each idea to get to an outcome.

Good luck to you though.

Systemd is fine. Stop getting trolled by antiquated neckbeards.

Unless you find a specific problem with something, don’t go looking for reasons to fix that which is not broken.

I did. Which is why I commented. You literally said “there are no wrong answers” 🤣

You’re going to be super disappointed to learn that most people who have been using Linux as daily driver for decades just use whatever works. Linus himself just uses Fedora.

Nobody that has real shit to do wants to worry about things not working or causing issues. Immutable is pointless, Nix is something I use for work, Ubuntu is dead to me…etc.

Not sure what you even mean, but OP seems to be struggling with just installing Wine.

99% of everything should work right off the bat with any Prefix Manager, and only in RARE cases does tweaking Wine directly ever come into to play.

I think you have it backwards.

Honestly, unless you know exactly what you’re doing, I wouldn’t run Wine directly.

Use a Wine Prefix manager like Proton, Lutris, Heroic …etc. It makes everything pretty dead simple, and keeps all your Wine stuff isolated.
