Lot of people mentioning kde connect. I’m going to take a moment to clarify, kde connevts functionality is modular. you need the sshfs package for it to mount the phones filesystem over ssh. Once you’ve done that, it works pretty normally.

This is speculation:

I think a lot of it is temporarily leased or loaned. i was watching a retrobytws video recently, cant remember the exact name. but it was about this console that was ‘designed for girls’ (read what old men in suits think teenage girls want). He said a lot of.yputubers have made videos on it, but console is actually pretty rare. One or two people own pne amd loan it out to others for their videos.

Also auctioning. I gotta imagine some of it can be flipped.

Maybe donated to a museum.

That’s just me speculatong tho.

I gotta imagine that each planet in a sci fi setting would have its oen airforce, where as the compasion of space to a vast ocean makes sense for the organization tasked with patroling it.

tbh why not jsut set them up with an ssh key that doesn’t have an associated passphrase? Besides that, if you don’t care about encrypting like you say, then you could replace all calls to ssh with telnet.

At least that’s my immediate thoughts.

Jesus fucking christ this is a hell of a project, Ill finish reading when I get home today.

Hats off to you for pulling it off. Why is it that every time I read something by a NixOS person I get the inpressiom that they are very smart but are completely mad.

there’s a group called johncena141 who do linux specific repacks. They put the windows game in a dwarfs read only compressed archive, and then have an editable layer on top of it where saves and changes get written. The windows games are put into a wine wrapper and then you can run them while they’re still compressed. It’s pretty cool, but can be a bit finicky. Getting dwarfs installed can be a pain depending on your system. I find their stuff can be very hit or miss, but I like that they exist.

Besides that, ymmv with all the other repacks. Sometimes fitgirl works fine for me, sometimes it fucks up completely. Same goes for dodi. though I’ve found dodi to be a bit more reliable on wine than fitgirl.

That’s my two cents on stuff.
