Shopware 6: Moving your cart storage to Redis is standard advice for a busy shop — but the docs never answer the question that actually matters: what happens to the carts that exist right now? There's a built-in command for exactly this, in both directions.

@alfredz@nrw.social danke für den Tipp. Habe hier aber noch nen alten Adapter rumliegen. Der lief auf Anhieb. Lasse den Test gerade schon laufen.
💽💾 Werde die Tage dann Mal meine alten Festplatten durchtesten und verkaufen, sofern die noch laufen.💸
Werde heutzutage sowieso keine drehen Platten mehr verwenden und dann brauchen die hier auch nicht in Massen rumliegen. 🕸️🗄️

Three hours or so of faffing and I've managed to get it mostly working.
Turned the Steam Machine to the beta stream, deleted all network config, turned a "Force Supplicant" mode off. Dunno what turned it on.
Lots of rebooting and retrying and re-configuring.
Was hoping this machine/VR-headset might be something I could recommend to non-techy family but this is far too shoddy.
I have successfully used the dongle to stream No Man's Sky a couple of times, and it seems to reboot now into a working state.
It's not really massively better than just streaming over the normal house wifi where the repeater is in line-of-sight anyway. Weird seeing mpeg compression artifacts in your peripheral vision isn't it.
Seems to crash within 30 minutes or so of No Man's Sky play so far. Might be the game's fault rather than the streaming combinations. Stays crashed somehow even after alt-f4 closing it. Have to reboot.
Anyway. Process but still feels shonky and no way I can recommend this to newbies or the less technically proficient.
Battery needs a recharge now anyway.

@… Saw this recently and thought of you: https://hidtwister.com/ seems like a product you'd use

The Steam Machine has finally arrived.
Due to the fact this one will have ridiculous amounts of external storage drives plugged in, it has half as much internal SD space than the VR headset does.
But will get 25 Tb of external stuff anyway like a good media machine wants.
The WiFi dongle did work, at least a bit, sometimes. So that must be a 7.4 kernel?
Seems to claim 'disconnected' quite a lot in Desktop mode. And currently Steam VR is failing on the Steam Machine in desktop mode entirely. Though it did work for a moment at lunchtime.
So. Once again, not a great start.
Its small and pretty and cubic and has no audio-jack (but the USB-c -> optical I have is fine).

The peace-Cybermen should arrive going:
The swarm is coming, we are just about keeping pace as an advance-wave. There's only light-days to go! - Your atoms are going to be turned into computronioum in orbit of the star when the swarm gets here.
We can save you! Join us in the mission of saving the other people in the wave across the universe of this inevitable conversion of all matter into computronium.
You know, join us in the cloud, upload into the computronium cloud, and live through these robot bodies on the advance-line like the sexy ones we have in the fashionable headsets and robes.
Just one cyber-injection. Before your atoms are inevitably taken anyway by processes in the swarm beyond the control of our entropy.
Stand and deliver. Upgrade or your life.
