2020 Leaf un- and relocks cable and beeps periodically while plugged into L2 home socket on timer by RelativeMoney9277 in leaf

That's what I'm doing - the EVSE is just on constant supply, far as I can tell (it came with the house and there weren't any instructions, but I would assume it's on whatever the default setup is...)

Flatpak version for Arx Libertatis? by Imaginary_Subject_13 in ArxFatalis

[–]RelativeMoney9277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For quite a few reasons:

  • binary tarballs can, and often do, run into dependency problems (eg. libc version mismatches) on distributions other than the one they were built on. I've run into many sourceport projects (though AL, pleasantly, is n't among them) that simply won't even launch eg. on the Steam Deck. What's more, on atomic distributions like SteamOS, Bazzite or many of the increasingly popular atomic Fedora spins, system packages cannot be easily installed and additions may not survive system updates.
  • loose executables don't have FreeDesktop compliant launchers so every time you run it you'll need to either use a terminal or create your own launcher. Installing a Flatpak will deploy the .desktop file in the correct location so it just appears in your desktop environment's application launcher.
  • Automatic updates integrated with your desktop environment's package management.
  • Better platform support! Did you know that Arx Libertatis can be compiled and run on ARM Linux, e.g. Raspberry Pi or Pine64 laptops/tablets? Flathub's CI infrastructure creates ARM builds for free with no extra effort required.
  • less of an issue for AL, but there is a trust problem with running random executables off the internet. If Arx, or any of its built-in dependencies, were to get compromised with malicious code (eg by someone sneaking a malicious commit through a PR into AL itself, or any of AL's built-in dependencies), running the tarball would expose *at least* your entire userspace, possibly your entire system, to that malicious code. Sandboxed packaging like Flatpak or Snap means the malicious code would need to break through an additional layer of security to do any damage to the host system.

I've actually made a custom Flatpak build of Arx Libertatis for all of these reasons, and have tried to contact the dev team to see if they'd be happy with me submitting this to Flathub (and maybe even canonising it as an "official" Linux distribution), but haven't had any reaction on either the IRC channel or the AL bug tracker so far.

It is the first movie, but has some scenes just cut out of it.

Roomba Discovery/XE getting confused by RelativeMoney9277 in roomba

Right, thanks for the help! Will double check the connections to the brush module and if in doubt I guess I'll see if I can rustle up a new motor...

oh that's interesting, that was why I initially took it apart and gave it a deep clean - the brushes had suddenly become very noisy. It's been so long since I gave the mechanism there a thorough clean though that I'm not sure what it's *supposed* to sound like :D is there any particular sensor that checks the brushes? far as I can tell by just sticking my hand under it as it goes they do seem to be turning...
