Because RAM is so cheap, right?

No. Never. It's a ruse.

I will conveniently avoid any dbus talk, because the why is not so interesting as the how and direct you to this path /var/run/wpa_supplicant. You would probably send SCAN_RESULTS on the socket, you could also initiate a SCAN first to include the strength of stations you're not connected to. If you want deeper access to wireless, you use netlink to communicate with the kernel (see /usr/include/linux/nl80211.h) and poke some NL80211_STA_INFOs.. or the other direction (everything is a file) you just parse /proc/net/wireless without any special permissions for the current signal strength.

Oh.. and btw dbus has a simple binary protocol underneath all the XML/interface fluff and uses a UNIX socket.

My best guess is that you forgot the -f parameter to qemu-img.

Just to clarify. The gi:// resources are GObject Introspection modules which are used for multilanguage bindings to native libraries. On my system, GI modules are found in /usr/share/gir-1.0/ . They're just imported by name and sometimes version using gi:// (there are examples in the link in my first comment).

As I don't have Gnome installed I can't be sure of the path to gnome shell modules imported using resource://, but it's probably the path I wrote, but without js/.

It is very likely the wrong path, I just extrapolated the path from the gnome-shell git repo. I don't use Gnome myself, I'm on the enemy team using LXDE on Devuan ;)

I edited my comment with an example for your code and my best advice for figuring out the path of gnome shell imports is by browsing /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/, the docs are not very helpful.

GNOME Shell 45 moved to ESM (ECMAScript modules). That means you MUST use the standard import declaration instead of relying on the previous imports.* approach.

https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-45.html

So the imports in your extensions is changed from:

const Clutter = imports.gi.Clutter;
const Gio = imports.gi.Gio;
const Main = imports.ui.main;
const Volume = imports.ui.status.volume;

to

import Clutter from 'gi://Clutter';
import Gio from 'gi://Gio';
import * as Main from 'resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/main.js'
import * as Volume from 'resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/volume.js';
