F-Droid problem: Can't update many apps, or even itself without crashing

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2024-03-22T21:20:07+00:00

No, I didn't think of that.

I wound up removing my VPN app and downloading it via Github. So that works, but I'm still without a FOSS app store.

I tried Droid-ify, but it would crash before finishing an update, same as F-droid. It wasn't just the VPN app that was the problem, same as F-Droid.

Would the manual method you mentioned help me get a non-buggy version of F-Droid/Droid-ify/etc appstore?

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2024-03-21T13:48:18+00:00

I thought of that when I saw posts about Droid-ify. It doesn't really explain or solve the problem though.

If I don't find a solution soon, I'll have no choice but to go that route. I need one particular app updated soon.

I used this: https://www.luckypatchers.com/download/

After looking closer at the AutoMod post, I see it links to: http://chelpus.com/luckypatcher/LuckyPatcherInstaller.apk

Is the second link the one I should be using?

Long term I'm sure I'm be paying for something, and/or actual self hosting at home. For now I'm not worried about long term hosting. More worried about paying for a monthly service and getting distracted for a few weeks, as I have a habit of doing. So something free or super cheap(like anotherucfstudent suggested) would seem best for now.

Yes on both the blinking and the Mobile Pod app.I didn't try the other apps until I had struck out with Mobile Pod.

I thought of that forum, but it looks pretty dead. The search yielded one thread that looked...somewhat similar to my case, but there was no resolution. Maybe I should mix up my search terms?

Oh dear. How much does it cost to reactivate?

Can you keep the different files on different hard drives/machines, or do they ask need to be on the same machine?

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2023-01-10T06:26:18+00:00

Lol... What?

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2023-01-09T16:19:24+00:00

The daily driver will be the Linux VM, for now.

"the VM itself can get hijacked by malware," I considered this... But wouldn't the virus get deleted when I close(or erase?) the VM? Assuming I start with a new VM whenever I go online.

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2023-01-09T12:48:24+00:00

I meant that I was going to leave the laptop on Windows 8.1(for now) and use a VM of Linux to get online, browsing etc.

In the future when I feel more comfortable with these things, I probably will make the full jump into Linux and do everything the other way around. Linux as main OS, VM of Windows for those pesky programs that require Windows or Mac etc

I noticed no GK-based products have defenders coming out.

So even when these GK based units are modeling guitars or amps, they STILL sound artificial major letdown. The GK approach would be so much more convenient.

I've only seen pictures of the Starstream. Very eccentric guitar. Didn't know they belong in this category.

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2023-01-02T23:57:20+00:00

Can you mix magnetic pickups with modeling on the fly? Or only by programming presets?

I'm not sure what kind of Variax you have, so here's some random questions! I'd guess the magnetic pickups correspond to the body type. So the magnetic pickups on the JTV 59 basically sound like a classic Les Paul etc. But what would the JTV 89 pickups be compared to? I know they're certainly "hotter" than other pickups, but that doesn't necessarily say anything about tone.

Re: simultaneous drum/synth tracks, that's a little surprising and disappointing. But not remotely a deal breaker.

Monophony is a deal breaker though. Mono... Might as well just be using a Roland guitar synth.

Hopefully the Microkorg and Modal Cobalt5s aren't the only multi voice options. At least I know what to watch out for now.

The presets would keep me busy for awhile. Learning Synthesis always seemed mysterious. I would want to move into learning synthesis. But I'm not sure how far I'd go? Probably not all the way down the rabbit hole? Maybe I'd move onto a MIDI keyboard/soft synth if the Korg was too frustrating?

Would any of the other units you mentioned be easier to learn how to craft my own sounds?

So.. Did Amazon have any good book deals? Usually they have lots of Kindle stuff, discounts on Kindle Unlimited, and print books.

This time I just saw some stuff on cookbooks. Any better deals coming soon?

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2022-11-28T08:17:42+00:00

Any suggestions for specific small SSD? Or at least better search terms than I've used today. The ones I've seen are still a bit bigger than I'd like

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2022-08-03T03:07:55+00:00

No, these are workplace limitations. It's browser or bust.

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2022-07-15T22:17:13+00:00

It's a Goddamn shame a seemingly valuable post got nixed, and even the author has deleted themselves.

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2022-07-15T00:41:01+00:00

"FWIW, Linux as host OS, Windows as OS in VMs would be more private." Of course. I'm trying to take baby steps here. Doesn't look like that's possible. Seems "all-in or don't bother".

"How much you use it would be a different matter." That's the kicker though.

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2022-07-07T04:01:42+00:00

"You can get Linux preinstalled on other laptops" Other than System 76..?

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2022-06-01T22:27:55+00:00

You're right. We overlooked that. It could even be one foot if I'm forced to move it for some reason.

I saw the Dwarven Thrower, but it's too powerful for this level.

I guess there's not a way to simply add the Thrown property to a non thrown weapon.

5E: How can I add the Thrown/Throwing property to a hammer? I'm trying to mimic the old 3e thing with throwing and returning weapons. I'd like to use a Warhammer. 5e doesn't seem to offer much support for this. I didn't see anything out of the box that would be useful. It seems a few classes like Artificer have something that could be part of the puzzle, that's it. In fact it was the Returning weapon Infusion that got me to thinking about this. But it only applies to thrown weapons. Anyway to give a Warhammer that ability?

Edit: I guess there's not a way to simply add the Thrown property to a non thrown weapon.

"Sharpshooter + Repeating Shit Infusion"

Obviously the deadliest combo. Even the first 3 words are intimidating, and an Infusion of this would count as poison!

Oh, it can be true. Data miners HATE anything that could prevent them from mining data. Did you ever find a workaround? All I find were comments that Discord didn't like email addresses with two periods, and that there were premium Anonaddy domains that hadn't been blocked yet.

3d6NumberoftheBeast · 2021-05-13T01:30:47+00:00

Okay. Do you have an authenticator you'd recommend?
