Honestly this shouldn't be limited to traditional computing devices. Why do I need some hacker to reverse engineer my robot vacuum and then fully disassemble it just to install custom firmware to it? Should be a basic requirement of right to repair so all this smart crap doesn't wind up in a landfill when a company goes out of business or decides to arbitrarily drop support for it.

This is tricky since it can and will ignore your md directions. When possible I try to lean on tool call hooks or skills that invoke deterministic scripts. As much as you can remove the "choice" the better though still there's a lot of randomness in how reliably it invokes skills ime.

Hooks are incredibly underused by most people and are the easiest way to establish a first line of defense against bad behavior. Things like blocking tool calls that will read .env file or execute "create or replace table".

im implementing this now. thanks. the guides specify the exact intention of more determinism.

Yup, been using it on an older roborock s5 for several years now. It's excellent and works flawlessly with home assistant. Cannot recommend enough. The robot running its own webserver while it cleans my apartment is still so funny to me.


I'm surprised no one is talking about the fact that the headset is ARM and that valve has been heavily contributing to the translation layer FEX.

I love my steam deck, but lately find myself reaching for emulation handhelds like the Retroid Pocket 5 more due to smaller size, especially when I'm leaving the house. There's already projects like GameNative that try to hack steam onto these devices, but if valve offers an official client on Android and other arm devices that would be incredible.

Edit: Some interesting insights in the FEX FAQ about why it's not a great fit for Android right now [0]. Interested to see if this ARM version of steamos is installable on other devices though. RP5 can already run alternatives like Rocknix

I’d try both, they tend to target different use cases. Proxmox doesn’t come with a lot of the tooling for things like SMB, LDAP, etc that Truenas ships with but you may find you don’t actually want any of these extras. In that case Proxmox would be a better choice IMO since it’s Debian based and a bit more streamlined.


IMO NAS setup is much more straightforward on truenas. It’s doable in Proxmox inside a VM or LXC, but true as exposes this all directly via a nice UI. I personally use Proxmox with a simple Debian NFS VM, but for less technical users that just want stuff to work I tend to recommend they stick with truenas.


how well does it handle running the NFS VM and using the NAS to serve files to jellyfin / plex running in a VM?


Prime video has always been extremely buggy in my experience. It’s baffling that a product backed by someone as big as Amazon and part of their core prime offering can be so difficult to use. Then again Netflix has been getting much less usable over time and HBO is similarly buggy so maybe that’s just par for the course in streaming.


Also worth noting that editing recommendations are a part of the M365 office suite. I agree with those voicing concern as AI is very new still and can have huge implications at FAANG scale, but I’m not surprised to see Google at this.


The worst thing for me is slow docker performance. Not usually an issue on my work MacBook since I tend to do stuff on remote build servers, but it can be really annoying to spin up projects on MacOS without polluting your OS with all the dependencies.


There’s not really much way around this since Linux puts syscall traps in every binary rather than routing through a libsyscall.so that contains the traps. (If the latter were the case, a container could provide an alternate library to do syscall interception much more easily on non-Linux platforms.)


Just wanted to give praise to the ngrok team. Solves a real hurdle for corporate developers and has been working great for our team.
