I absolutely agree. Those do not look like the same type of wood at all.

The link talks about new vs old construction lumber. “New growth” vs “old growth” is very misleading in this context. It should be understood as “fast growing trees” vs “slow growing trees” ie. soft wood vs hard wood.

With that said, I am very open to the idea that trees have been breed to grow faster (and of worse quality). I believe that without having any evidence of it, but this is not that evidence.

That was what I was expecting, without trying.

Maybe it’s just the right Decky add-on away? I have used add-ons for enabling VPNs so this should be possible, if not done already.

1. Can you connect to the same WiFi? If not, it’s gonna be impractical to connect without a cable. The Steam Deck has pretty fast WiFi, so if it lags i would bet your router is the bottleneck.
2. Civilization is mostly strategy, it’s turn based so there’s plenty of time to talk strategy, it takes some time to get a hang of the game but the beginning isn’t too rough.

Only so I don’t have to turn down the volume, and turn it back up when the episode starts.

No problem!

I hacked this together instead of going to sleep, so it might make your deck explode, but maybe it’s a starting point for you or someone else:

# home-deck-mounts.mount
#
# Mount units must be named after the destination path, this / replaced by -, like above
#
# This is a template unit.
# That's explained here: https://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-template-unit-files/
# TL;DR: run it like this `netmount@linuxisos.mount` if you want to mount the subdirectory "linuxisos" from SHARE_PATH
[Unit]
Description=NetMount %I
After=graphical.target
# This is commented out, because it is implicit for network mounts https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.mount.html#Default%20Dependencies
# I keep it here as an example
#After=network-online.target
#Requires=network-online.target

[Mount]
# %i expands to what ever you put after the @ when starting/activating the service
What=10.10.10.99:/mnt/user/%i
Where=/home/deck/mounts/%i
Type=nfs
Options=exec

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

I couldn’t confirm if mount units are allowed to be template units, but if not, just duplicate the service for each path and replace %i.

Say the word if you run into issues!

Don’t put yourself down! Using systemd wouldn’t make it work “better”, it’s just more “proper” (and a great tool to know in general!)

Great job and keep going!

This is really cool!

Where did you put the service file?

I don’t mean this as critique, but as possible next project, since your solution works perfectly fine. Systemd has some cool features that could make this project have a bit fewer moving parts:

• a .mount file could replace the mount and unmount script, and handle logging too! (I am pretty sure you would need separate files per mount, though, so “fewer moving parts” might be a bit of a lie, depending on your interpretation)
• that “After=” setting you used, can also be used to check for network connectivity. IIRC it’s “networking.target” on Fedora, at least. You might want to double check the systemd docs if After is the right one for this, as I have a hard remembering the systemd dependency intricacies.

That way you would end up with a .mount file per mounted directory, with logging using journald, and no external scripts.

I really like systemd as it can be a great tool, when you start to break down the complexity of it.

I hope you get well soon and get the best you can from this time.

Hook it up with ChatGPT and you are golden!

Oh, i did not know. Thanks!

At least talk about.

That’s what she’s criticizing her western followers and the western media for not doing.

The thought that all the western world can do is to either declare war or sit on our hands is plain wrong.
