Woa! Does that mean you’ve already covered the basics of C? If they ever happen to get bored, try some elementary boolean logic, binary arithmetic or electricity.

Unless you want to potentially spend over a thousand dollars on hardware like I did, rent/subscribe to a seedbox. Managed to get my hands on 16 gigs worth of RAM and 15 TBs worth of SSDs before the market went haywire and I have a 1Gbps connection, so I’m seeding my Linux ISOs on my own hardware with the headless (web UI) version qBittorrent, qbittorrent-nox on Linux.

Edit: scrolling up to Padme’s face after hitting “comment” or “save” or whatever made me giggle. How did we end up talking about this again? 🤣😭

Thank you so much for sharing this! I appreciate (is that the right word?) all the hardships that you had to go through in pursuit of happiness. I have been a trans and non-binary ally my whole adult life, so I knew in theory of the persecution, alienation, demonization and plain bullying that we have to endure, but to read what a person goes through inside, mentally and emotionally, it’s eye-opening, to say to least.

The video that I linked to, I watched for the first time sometime around last December. As you said it youself, it’s rather the latter part of the video that stuck with me too. I don’t know why, but watching this video was the first thing that every made me question: what if there is nothing wrong with me? What if all the evil that I had to accept through the years from what I thought were male peers was just that: evil. There is nothing wrong with me - or you, for that matter. It’s the cisnormative world and society that is wrong.

I have just begun my journey towards trying to get help from my government, but thus far, I have only every been rejected and passed around. Now, I need a little breather to muster the strength to try again.

Thanks again for sharing! We are valid, no matter who or how or what we are.

Edit: I will forward your thesis to the cat.

My day started out catastrophically bad, resulting in taking a sick day.

Then came you.

I cried and laughed in some sequence and it gave me the energy to get out of bed. Now, I will have breakfast*.

*Loose definition.

Adventure is my middle name.

I see. But my message was a sincere attempt at spreading love, nothing more, nothing less. 😊 Fuck society’s definitions.

Yeah, I failed to mention that this is not about updating but installing from scratch.

honestly it’s such a self-destructive and counter-productive trope that I’ve had to stop taking it seriously and just hope the rest of the world catches up at this point…

This is all that I feel is relevant to the post and I do agree.

To everything else, I can only say, I have no good answer because I am - or was? - the same. Being born with a dick and trying to identify with men my whole youth and having a gentle heart is - or was? - worse than hell. What kind of saved my life and made me realize that I might not be a cisman and that my gentle heart is as valid as any other human being was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAA1XtDOuH8

I know it’s hard, and I don’t live by this myself so I am sort of a hypocrite when I say this, but love yourself. You’re fucking valid and legit. Your docile self and all.

I think we’ve got off track. Stevenblack’s is already shipped with AdAway. AdAway works perfectly fine with Magisk’s systemless hosts. I have no other reason for wanting to change to another app than the fact that it hasn’t been updated since 2024.

You mean systemless hosts works without being called/used by an app? Do you know the systemless hosts file path?

Interesting! And thank you! I already see a hosts file under /system/etc/, for now only containing localhost. Could I not just edit this file and be done? I know too little about how Android works…

If I do need to mount /system, can I not do it from the stock recovery? I think I saw a “mount system partition” in there the other day.

That’s a great idea for the ad blocking, which is what I am writing about in the OP, but I also would like to be able to block specific hosts and IP addresses on a hosts file level, in order to stop system apps from connecting.

Thanks! For this, I am using Mullvad’s ad blocking DNS. 😊 I want to be able to block specific hosts and IP addresses on a hosts file level in order to block certain system apps from connecting.

Sweet! Thank you for your contribution! :D

I get the joke/meme but the social stigmatization, personal traumatization and potential violence that comes with and at a female for even trying to leave a male love interest with a shocking capacity for violence is just too real.

With that said, I would love to play Padme in a story driven game like, say, Detroit: Become Human and cut Anakin’s throat in the middle of the night instead of meeting him at… Was it Mustafar? 🔪😈

I use it for media only, if I can’t find it on 1337x.

Hey! Thank you so much! 🥰 I did see an issue over at Codeberg in which somebody reported something similar to my problem and to which a dev (?) replied just that! I tried applying that specific configuration (which would grab the apk from their new repo), but to no avail.

Thanks! I’ll clearify that in the OP. It’s the download that doesn’t work. It hangs at 30% and then fails.

I already had it installed on another unit, on which I used the apk extraction function of App Manager.

Installing from Obtainium has always worked for me and their site lists Obtainium as a valid install method.

Recompile the kernel with CONFIG_WTF=y and Bob’s your uncle.
