And they used the Naomi (arcade dreamcast) as the starting point for the main board

I think normally you'd loop it into the ejection port and out the magazine well, but that sort of lock is a poor security device for a firearm anyway

I think this is pretty close

This is a great write-up! I'm going to save it for reference.

Thank you!

I also use my steam deck as my daily driver (dockcase 10 in 1 with peripherals etc).

I had been using arch for years before I got the steam deck, and for the first 8 months or so I unlocked the btrfs partition and installed everything I needed normally (kvm/qemu, devel libraries and Linux headers for c++ development, etc)... But every update from valve would destroy my environment and I had to run custom scripts to fill my etc directory back in...

For the past many months I've been using distrobox (which I believe comes pre-installed on the latest steamdeck updates) with a rootless arch environment inside, and flatpaks for everything that requires systemd.

You can symlink things like xdg-open from inside the container to your host, and end up with a pretty seamlessly integrated experience (distrobox does a lot of this for you anyway, and comes with utilities which make this pretty easy.)

If you want direct control of the system, this is not going to be a convenient setup, but if you're interested in treating it like an immutable OS, there are userspace ways of getting around it's limitations.

SteamOS has inspired me to make future installs immutable (and atomic/declarative using containers?), because it can be kinda nice once you get used to it.

I hope this helps or was interesting!

Edit: This is specifically what I meant by symlinking xdg-open.

Idk if this is done by default now, but if link handling is broken this is how you fix it

Thanks for the insight!

Check and make sure whatever materials you use are safe to contact the tablets.

Food safety is kinda complicated, and I don't know all the details, but be safe!

Be careful 3d printing things that touch stuff you're gonna ingest.

I'm not sure how much we should be worried about it, but PLA is not food safe.

Do they actually produce as much CO2 as carbon plants? Do you have a source for that claim?

In terms of nuclear waste storage, the IAEA claims 390,000 tonnes were generated between 1954 and 2016, and a third has been recycled.

The US EPA claims the US generated 6,340 million metric tons of CO2, and 25% were for the electric power economic sector.

The nuclear waste is stored on site, but I imagine carbon waste is stored mostly in our atmosphere...

The narrative I have heard is that nuclear energy waste is much more manageable than fossil fuel waste, but if nuclear energy has emissions or scaling problems I'm not aware of, I'd be happy to revise my preconceptions about it.
