One time doubled that in a single night redownloading my steam library

Got a link for the dev recommendation? I hadn’t heard about that

Ive thought about trying this before, but do you have any experience with how to actually hook up the power supply?

Never thought breaking a drive was worth the risk, but theoretically you should be able to solder a buck converter to the laptops motherboard if the voltage requirements vary.

Rig up the 12v barrel adapter right to the laptops battery

I think you can use the service to remount using the fstab entries/options. (Like “mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXX” and it’ll automatically apply the options and mountpoint)

Arguably cleaner depending on your setup

Can’t mount networked filesystem’s in android, but you can use a file browser app to emulate the same thing.

You can mount /var and /tmp to the ssd, lot of tutorials on doing this for Pis SD cards if your googling.

Mind linking the relavent simplex SMP/xftp windows container then?

Docker desktop for Windows runs under WSL or Hyper-V, both being VMs themselves.

Arguably running a Linux VM themselves will only offer them more customisation options (although may be heavier than WSL)

Thats how docker runs “natively” on windows, its kernel has no support for namespaces nor cgroups that containers require
