You can buy cables without the latches on them, though idk if theyre technically to spec

Pull the DE out and you could probably squeeze that performance out on a modded instance

Heres the biggest and most active I could quickly find, but I believe the XKCD in that repo inspired a handful of similar projects

Its cool to see this xkcd in action.

That being said theres a couple options out here attempting the same thing, but due to the required level of trust youre fighting a bit of an uphill battle for widespread adoption.

Not that this changes how cool of a tool it is and valuable for you use case!

Spoken like someone who’s never used nix before lol.

Good luck even having a question to ask, much less finding where to ask it

We laugh to hide the tears

I mean it won’t work if you rip out your hard drive either, but usually things are custom managed in those situations by whoever created them.

(Ex. Nixos is the same, but not really a problem cause you expect to manage it within nix)

JK Rowling🤢

If you’d prefer native to using an unpopular tool thats archived since 2023, try this site.

All you have to do is click on the revision you want to install, and it provides instructions to install it (having the benefit of being actually using the native package manager instead of just storing some binaries somewhere exclusive to the app)

Surprised there was a non-nix way to achieve this honestly, even if it is a bit hackey

Man doesnt even know distrobox exists

(Or flatpak of appimages or any other containers)

Good luck even finding something not in nixpkgs though

Yeah, it was a bit of a growing pain tradeoff to accommodate high performance enterprise clusters, but kinda only sucks for the small user environment.

Still pretty impressive the same software can serve both those markets though.

Nextcloud doesnt really like when you do this, it stores file locations in its database and hand manages them.

Could work for a local instance though if you set up a cron job to rescan the dir every night or so
