You probably just need to chow. The directory

For 2.5" SSD I’d suggest a Samsung Evo or crucial mx500. These will top out at like 4TB afaik.

For 3.5" spinner I’d suggest an enterprise class HDD. Specifically WD Gold or HGST. Look up the most recent backblaze drive failure report for some models known to last a while.

What are the chances of an official flatpak getting maintained so us lazy folk don’t need to keep up with the GitHub repo/site for when updates drop?

Edit: Also do you have any plans to add NX support?

BSD, Haiku, Plan9, RiscOS, etc. Probably mostly BSD.

Maybe just allow apt update specifically via the sudoers conf so you can cron job it to run without being prompted for user input, or just run it in cron as root.

Possibly the antenna wasn’t tuned correctly to the channel which you have the router configured to use so you had a higher swr than your radio frontend could handle eventually burning it out.
