The reason a very small subset of users love it*

All the downloads making it the top app in the app stores are from people using their centralized service. The people behind these downloads have no clue that you can run it locally or can even start to understand what that would even mean. It is this usage the article is addressing.

Like the thread starter, I am also confused to why this in particular draws so much hate.

Don’t worry, it will definitely be available by 2018.

So back to the search engine with the serious and sensical name “Google” then?

Yeah, me too. It is quick and easy. I use SyncThing for things I want to keep synced.

Were your siblings or cousins on Facebook before that became a thing?

I run CalyxOS on FP4, and I like it. It also has FP5 support. As far as I know, mobile Linux distros like postmarketOS work on (at least) FP4, but key phone functionality is lacking. There’s a functionality matrix on their wiki.

That will be a good thing - you need to spend much time on these bikes to burn off the calories from all the verification cans you are forced to consume.

That sounds awesome

tmux has been on my to-learn list forever now. Seems it should be bumped up in priority.

NetworkManager was not installed on my system, but I will look into this later and check out nmcli and nmtui (as suggested below) to get familiar with these tools.

I don’t think it uses netplan.io - it is a very standard Debian server install - netplan.io being Canonical, I guess that would typically be found on Ubuntu installs?

nmtui sounds nice. I didn’t end up installing NetworkManager now, but it is something I will look more into, so I’ve noted it down. Learning networks is a big goal for this year.

‘ip a’ to show your active addresses

Nice, now only my ethernet interface shows an IP after implementing the changes to etc/network/interfaces as described in an edit in the OP.

rfkill to hard disable wireless devices

rfkill was also not isntalled by default on my server, but I’ve installed it now and see that they (i.e. bluetooth and wifi) are unblocked, so I will now go learn how to block them. :)

nmtui if you want a simple way to change network configuration or disable something

Nice, I will check this out!

I experience the same, which is why I switched to Jellyfin Desktop Client to aboid transcoding load on my server.

Tech Broligarchy*

Thanks! That worked right away :) I have also entered the correct environment variable in Flatseal now, and it opens as expected now from the desktop shortcut.

Just to explain why they’re stored there: you’re trying to change the config of the sandbox itself not the app. Flatpak manages the sandbox and it is flatpak that needs to know what permission an app should have. Any files in “~/.var/app/…” pertain to the app itself inside it’s sandbox.

Thanks for this explanation! I love Linux after having used it for two years now, but the sheer amount of things to know about is quite overwhelming when I don’t always have too much time to spend on learning. It doesn’t always feel like I’m getting any better (although I know that is not true), but comments such as yours is certainly helping people like me become better users :)

At least in the DMCA I believe

Cheers, it looks like I will have to open up this week end then and forget about these cleaning programs.

Time to print out your commit history and show Zuck how many lines of code you wrote last month!

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, and nothing happened. I think it might only work for the printers with an LCD-display? Mine does not have that (does yours?), and I remember reading somewhere that to do that hardcore cleaning (I can’t recall what they called it), I would need to run it using either Windows or macOS.

Thanks for that! I’m not quite sure what the dummy cartridge is, however, and how I would access it. Would you be able to elaborate on that?
