• Android gaming on Odin 2

  If the game says it's not compatible with your device, I suggest The Aurora Store. Connects to Google's official servers to download any free apk. If you want a Paid game/app, you need to sign in with your Google Play account, as long as you've purchased it with that account, and it's still available to download from Google play, you can download the apk.

• GoboLinux

  What you're looking for sounds like AppImages (https://appimage.org/) . I have only used them while downloading games from itch.io, etc. (since I prefer package managers) but they seem to work out of the box on popular distros. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Bitwarden Heist – How to Break into Password Vaults Without Using Passwords

  Ideally a new instance of the application is installed for each user. This also provides better isolation if one user upgrades/removes/breaks their application instance. I, for one, have really come around to the AppImage model [0] in the last couple of years. [0] https://appimage.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What's the best CLI installation experience you've ever seen?

  There is AppImage[1], which packs a lot of stuff into a SquashFS filesystem, appends it to the executable, so everything is in one file. [1] https://appimage.org. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• How to minimize RAM usage during Go binary compilation

  Although I haven't used plugins feature myself yet, this does sound like the perfect use case for them. Not every patient needs to access every single source. With plugins you can load only the source (or few sources) that they actually need. You can still use something like https://appimage.org/ to give them "a single binary", but will actually contain your slim binary and all the plugins. Source: 11 months ago
