This will indeed save space but I don't want links either. I unique files

I had multiple systems which at some point were syncing with syncthing but over time I stopped using my desktop computer and syncthing service got unmaintained. I've had to remove the ssd of the old desktop so I yoinked the home directory and saved it into my laptop. As you can probably tell, a lot of stuff got duplicated and a lot of stuff got diverged over time. My idea is that I would merge everything into my laptops home directory, and rather then look at the diverged files manually as it would be less work. I don't think doing a backup with all my redundant files will be a good idea as the initial backup will include other backups and a lot of duplicated files.

I did not ask for a backup solution, but for a deduplication tool

The exiting part will be if they launch a passive cooled arm based laptop.

If you can get a metal body laptop, I would suggest you do. Metal chassis with Linux will last a long while. Programming will not take much resources (and if it does, rewrite your code). Since you're into light programming like python any distro would be fine. It feels like the community has somewhat agreed to suggest Linux Mint to new users so I'll support that.

This is what I think one need to do to test if that would work

  • get latest ubuntu live cd
  • install bottles
  • run label printer installer for windows in bottles
  • check if the program runs at all

If the device is a COM device in windows then I think it should just work out of the box. If not, then the entire device needs to be forwarded using udev rules to wine. Let me know if you want to attempt this :)

This sounds interesting. What the hell is RevOS? What kind of label maker is that? Does it have a name? Do you know what kind of cable it's using to communicate with the pc?

If you want yet another promotion you know what to do next

I've not worked with batteries but I would assume there are two pins for voltage and ground, one temperature probe pin and or two pins for serial communication (probably I²C). If batteries would have had some sort complex handshake then it would have needed a corresponding UEFI patch so that system is able to refuse booting if the power level is too low. That's why I assume there would be no handshake (unless it's apple ofc).

Yeah true, though it's dealt with already. Time to put the lid back on that can.

How is it that one cannot purchase a bunch of flat rectangular batteries and just put them inside the laptop (wherever they fit) and connect them manually to some custom charge controller? We do it all the time on other devices like drones and shit. We have generic round cylindrical batteries, why isn't there flat generic Li batteries?
