awdl-down

macOS's AWDL interface (awdl0, used by AirDrop/AirPlay/Handoff) periodically pulls the WiFi radio off-channel. In my personal case, this causes ~12% time-based UDP downlink loss and latency spikes, regardless of bitrate or signal quality — seen as ~15% "network" frame drops in Moonlight. TCP mostly masks it, which makes it hard to diagnose.

Fix: disable the features that wake AWDL, and down awdl0 at boot via a one-shot LaunchDaemon (no resident process; it watches the first 3 minutes

If your rooted LG webOS TV keeps prompting you to retry a failed system update (especially after powering off during an update), this guide explains how to clear that state.

Prerequisites

Rooted LG webOS TV (tested on webOS 5.6.0)
SSH access to the TV (default root password is typically alpine, with sshd from Homebrew Channel enabled)

Wait, I need root?

networking stuff -- limited wifi capability.

It does NOT support 802.11w. turn this off in openwrt settings, also limited wpa2, can use mixed mode however.

Tested on M2 / Silicon, Sonoma Beta (may not be required, try Ventura and report back?).

Install Whisky
Setup a bottle/"wine container" for Steam (or label it "FTL" if you're not using Steam).
Install Steam if that's what you're using to install FTL.
Install your legally owned copy of this great game.
Use something like the Control Panel (in the Config section of your bottle in Whisky) to install Java in your bottle. Java 8 JDK worked for me, 6 could as well.
- You could install Java JDK from Oracle, but you'll have to agree to their crappy license and login.
- Zulu JDK 8

You'll also need to install CCK after to supply physical fonts.

Build and Install Podman

cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/containers/podman
cd podman
Install build dependencies
sudo make
sudo make install
