Noo it was a joke XD
…but you can install it https://github.com/MrGlockenspiel/activate-linux
(though I believe they have an Ubuntu premium motd or something like that)

Can I use the Linux cracker to remove my Activate Ubuntu watermark?
1·2 days agoTurning on “Block connections without VPN options” will not make KDE connect work
I did do that in conjunction with bypass set for KDE connect only and it works. I find the other options you suggested really cool though! Might give them a shot.
Also didn’t know about the share VPN thing, I’ve wanted that for so long! Weird Graphene doesn’t have it as well
Thanks I understand now, I’ll have to try it again
It’s a great project yes!
Firefox is my tab-hoarding enabler 😍
Does it kill Firefox if it tries to go over the limit? I think I tried this once and if there is a memory leak it just closes itself (which is batter than hogging the whole system, bit still)
I’d like to use Rethink DNS (forcefully set to DNS+Firewall) because it keeps a record on-device of the connections that apps tried to establish. So as I understand it’s not possible to have both then?
Do you also have “Block connections without VPN” on like this?
Yes, I believe the issue comes from that(edit: tried disabling it and it was indeed that), ideally one would keep that setting on, I guess there’s no internal Android setting to exclude on an app by app basis unfortunately

But what if my God is a robot?
Real, happened too many times to me. What’s that about configuring the OOM, can you give it priorities?
useless research for the curious
Did a bit more research, was thinking it might be a systemd service, so I checked for timers there, but there was just a countme timer enabled that basically tells the server to include you in the count of active systems (how to disable, for the paranoid 🥸).
Then I went on to look at the live logs of rpm-ostree and, as found from this website used this command:journalctl --follow --unit rpm-ostreed.serviceSo that I could monitor its activity while I open Discover and so I managed to record when it happens, I also saw from the logs that there is a configuration file at this path
/etc/rpm-ostreed.confand that you can configure automatic updates from there, by default there a this line about it (usage greatly explained withman rpm-ostreed.confbtw):[Daemon] #AutomaticUpdatePolicy=nonebut it’s commented out, so it couldn’t have been that.
Finally there is this one thing that pops up in the logs:
Initiated txn AutomaticUpdateTrigger for client(id:cli dbus:1.1625 unit:app-org.kde.discover@df0f43f8979843c0a34d36ad199c7eda.service uid:1000): /org/projectatomic/rpmostree1/fedoraSo it is something triggered by Discover, as I had known already, due to other articles that talk about the integration with Discover, but I wasn’t so sure about it anymore, since I couldn’t find any related settings in the app.
So I found the setting that configures automatic updates in general… in the three dot menu (questionable UX decision?):
which actually just leads to the system settings:
I had this configured to be weekly, there isn’t even a setting as granular as seconds, the smallest span of time is daily, but what I’m guessing is that the “Update frequency” acts on when they should be installed automatically rather than when they should be fetched, so this is a limitation of the system as I understand it
2·2 months agoThat is insanely cool, but isn’t it even more manual? ( °ヮ° ᵕ)

Bro thought
SIGTERMwas enough
nice try, mr nutella
Guess I’ll stay on a diet after this
