can't use linuxserver's homeassistant image as this is HA Core, no addons. Ditto for HA own Docker instructions, and "supervised" is a Bash script of doom that doesn't work and doesn't say why not, when a simple Docker compose file would do

Guess we're learning lxc. But https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux#download-the-appropriate-image is wrong, you want haos_generic-aarch64-13.2.qcow2 in /var/lib/libvirt/images

It's fairly easy to get the PPC talking to a modern computer. This lets you do cool tricks like Toot from it by using things like https://github.com/ihabunek/toot on the host

All the advice on articles like https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/47080/mounting-iso-in-linux-kde don't work in modern KDE, or are about mounting .iso files, which is now built in, or a disk image as read only.

I needed to mount disk images read/write, which appears to be more complicated because it needs to run as root, so prompt for the password, fingerprint or what have you.

Recently I got around to playing with an Amstrad PPC I'd had for a while but not tried to get running. I even had the thin version of the manual, ruck sack, power supply and half the system disks.

The good news is - it's easy ! I'm not even a hardware guy :)
