Why bother with X? Just do l33t CLI h4xx0rs

That’s fair enough, but the article is wrong in other places.

The game has been developed exclusively for x86 systems: exclusively those built on x86 chips—Intel or AMD chips.

That is not true. See here. It is ARM native for Apple silicon as interpreted by MacOS’s own activity monitor. There is no Rosetta translation going on here.

The article continues:

But Apple has a weak spot: gaming. Almost all games today, be they intended for PC or console, are built for x86 systems. Apple had sought to sort of get around this with the Game Compatibility Toolkit, which is a tool to get games running on ARM, but it’s not being used to actually bring a larger gaming library to Apple devices just yet. Qualcomm’s comparable tool, however, is.

So I’d take whatever else they state with a bucket of salt, they’re just wrong and they didn’t bother to check.

That’s not exactly an honest headline, Larian already made an ARM build of this game to run natively on Apple silicon.

There’s also compatibility mismatch between certain versions of clients and servers. That almost cost me a bunch of files. Thank RMS I had a local copy through syncthing.

Good bot

I’m glad you’re leaving that cesspool behind. That said, just not doing the thing is also an option. I’ve replaced Reddit one to one with Lemmy but I’d just as soon forego the whole thing. I’ve never seen the allure of Twitter and I have a Mastodon account but I don’t see it there either.

I think I’m gonna delete that as well and just live without it.

Personally I decided to go the Jellyfin route, but I wanted to stop by and thank you for the effort you put into a great write-up! Bookmarked, maybe I’ll try it out in the future.

Make sure the dir you are mounting to exists. If it doesn’t, create it with:

mkdir /mn

In the Netherlands, the ability to swap in your own modem is safeguarded by law. I have luckily not had to deal with this.

That said, would look to see if you can remove the whole top, seems to me it would be clipped in. Then place a matching size fan, or just undersized and 3D print a rim.

There’s a few ways to go, I have used dd in the past to clone the existing drive out to a disk image on a USB SSD, then installed the new SSD in the system and did the process in reverse (and then used gparted to expand the partitions out to size).

There’s also cloning devices that can do this but I’ve only ever done that with traditional 3.5" and 2.5" disks, not m.2.

Whatever you do, make sure you have a backup of your important data before you make any attempt.

I set this up for production on a factory floor for others to use. It’s nice, works extremely well once set up. Importing and exporting images could be easier.

Seconded. I’ve been running the result of this ansible deployment for a year now, loving it
