I don't think that you can. Downloads is 'protected' location these days too.

If you're using something like Syncthing, you can't connect a Syncthing folder to it.

The weird thing is that people still believe in the trickle-down effect.

Musk is due to become the world's first recognised trillionaire. Putin was probably the first.

Very rich people are not philanthropic in any way that is noticeable.

Thank-you. Hopefully it helps a few here. I updated to the beta f41 just now, faultless - I haven't done an update to beta for some time. Only a couple Gnome Extensions don't work but that's expected.

There was only one rpmnew/rpmsav set: on cups browser. Nothing interesting. I think I may have forgotten to update one before.

I was expecting xorg to be removed by the remove packages thing, but it didn't. Maybe next time. I think I'm very 'previous'!

No-one is suggesting that it doesn't work as described, but depends on dependency chain removal. This isn't always the case.

Anyway, I found the package I partly remembered!

No, these packages are in the dependencies list of other packages so auto remove isn't the solution.

The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that there's an official package to 'install' which will remove technologies no longer current.

I have Fedora Workstation (rpm) as my daily driver and use console ArchLinux on a sdcard for daily backups and rescue etc, so it's in daily use too.

Expect:

1. Much slower bug fixes and updates. Fedora has an organised new kernel testing weekend, not point updates, before they are released to stable. So the first release of a kernel is .3 or something. Arch releases the new kernel fairly quickly, but not as quickly as it used to!
2. Bug reports are processed much slower. Same reasons.
3. Reversing out problem packages is much easier in Fedora. Typically three kernels versions are kept. Arch is much more flimsy but it's getting better over time. It's still my go-to rescue distro because it's 'clean' - there is not much downstream fiddling on the original source code ( like in Debian etc ) and excessive soft-dependency lists. Fedora does introduce some excess dependencies IMHO.
4. Fedora is more user friendly. dnf options are well documented and the dash-dash long form options exist. dnf seem to be moving to subcommands too. Pacman really is mainly single letter options which are difficult to remember, and I'm always looking at the arch-wiki Rosetta webpage far more than I should.
5. I haven't installed ArchLinux from scratch for a couple of years, but there's not been a grub2 layer that I can remember. Fedora is still depending on grub long after it was necessary or useful. Things are much slower to change in Fedora. The secure kernel isn't really as advanced on Fedora compared to ArchLinux.
6. I'm a rolling release fan because 'updating' 2000 packages at once, a la Fedora, seems a recipe for problems. That said, my fears aren't justified: I've only really had one system-upgrade problem with Fedora, and I've been using it since FC4 - not always continuously.
7. I've always installed Fedora (and other distros) from the base packages not using an installer. This time I've installed SELinux. The miriad complaints I've seen about it are not justified. I had an issue with a change to the Fedora SELinux policy tripping a fail; I was impressed and the solution was offered by the setroubleshooter. A user generated problem (ie me) trying to put a systems unit into the /etc/systemd/system directory puzzled me for a while until I realised what I was doing that it didn't like. Again easily fixed and there are plenty of documents about.

You could probably summarise those as Fedora is corporate run and ArchLinux is user collective.

As I said Fedora is my daily driver and I have tried to operate with ArchLinux as my daily, but it was a while ago and too fragile then. ArchLinux is my thin Rescue distro. I wouldn't be without either.

I watch this yesterday (on UK Netflix) too.

I really enjoy Butler films and unusually tested this two up thumbs (or whatever they're called). Some of the CGI got in the way and was just too obvious but that didn't detract for a very simple single-line plot making it very enjoyable watching.

It was somewhat like watching a mid-twentieth century film in is simplicity but enjoyable for all that.

I kept waiting for that 'Mercan to kick off and cause a couple of innocents to die but it didn't happen.

Would recommend.

Mean reversion.

If you're using Obsidian for free then maybe try the built-in link which you'll find in the built-in options I think. It's a cost option but cheap. I think it eliminates the problems I'm having (below). I'm stubborn.

I'm not having problem with Syncthing, bar dealing with the stupid attempts to deal with deleted files that Android leaves laying around. I have .stignore files with .trashed-* and .trash/ entries on the Linux machine. Still having problems with _ed directories though and Syncthing conflict files when the sync isn't fast enough when I switch between the two.

Sometimes it takes Syncthing a while to work out the best route between the two nodes. Sometimes days. It used to send my packets to the internet before letting them back into the local network. Eventually it found a more direct route between them. I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with local IPv6; I'm talking out of my ass though.

I'm not affiliated to Syncthing or Obsidian besides being a happy user.

I have decent battery life on my Pixel 7 Pro. I have the respect battery save setting on so syncing stops at 20% or so I think.

Deezer. They're actually starting to fix stuff.

Thank you for thinking forward. That's much appreciated.

I'm surprised to find there isn't much of a delay to loading the data from Oz. I'm sure I remember it being horrific not so long ago.

I don't know, I'm not familiar with kbin at all. Good to know I'm not alone in that thinking, though.

It would have helped me. My instance isn't in the same hemisphere as me!

At last.

The most 'Mercan thing on the internet today.

I did start trying to prefer the Fedora flatpaks but the flatpak priority system doesn't seem to work. I have flathub 50 and Fedora 100 but it still chose flathub for the same version.

Flathub's packages are usually more up-to-date. Sometimes ridiculously different.

Then LibreOffice said that they're releasing on flathub/fedora not packaging so eventually I saw which way things are going and went with the flow.

Came to Obsidian from Logseq without prior knowledge. Logseq was my first note-taking of any use. I had Keep but I didn't really use it, cos my data is in Google's clutches. I'm trying to degoogle.

Logseq doesn't feel together like Obsidian does. I'm in my first month of use and I had to spend ages trying to understand how to take notes properly before I could even feel confidence about using it.

Templates are a revelation. Dataview supreme. Front-matter a delight. If they exist in logseq they're hidden. The learning curve for Obsidian is brutal.

I have around a thousand pages of mixed tags and links because it's not discouraged in Logseq and I have to undo that huge mess. The discord forums are not a good place to Google for help and there's nothing like obsidian.rocks or innumerable posts helping. There are lots of logseq YouTube fans and that's where I ended up looking, but I prefer the written word.

Logseq was my learning phase but Obsidian is where I'll stay. I think Logseq needs the level of financial input that Obsidian gets. I'll have to live with the fact that it is not open source.

I had disabled the non-open source packages in Fedora software so i didn't see Obsidian and only saw Logseq. It was a good experience and given my time again I would probably do Logseq then Obsidian, again. I wish I had seen the articles on how to take notes on Obsidian.rockd before I started Logseq.

This. Loved it but stopped using it when it was bought by Microsoft (it was swiftkey that Microsoft bought, right - I'm getting old and it's late here)

Ironically I'm using gboard now, kinda given up looking for keyboard a while back.

I have to fuck about on F-Droid again for a bit I think.
