You’re question wasn’t exactly clear, it seemed like you were asked how to create .mount files manually. Not where they are.

man 5 systemd.mount

This is very good news, the closing of grsec has been a huge loss for Linux hardening.

No mentions of XMPP 😒

Yes but that’s completely irrelevant to the original point.

Well that happens to be what China is pushing for indeed.

I know. At the time of the ACPI debacle, Mac OS X didn’t exist yet, and NeXT was essentially irrelevant because a) it didn’t run x86 and b) it only ran on proprietary hardware.

You can have a look at what’s popular on flathub.org

Definitely do get Freetube as a YouTube client!

BSDs mostly, Mac wasn’t a Unix based system at the time. It also didn’t run on x86.

You should go read Microsoft’s attempt at excluding Linux/Unix from running on x86 using ACPI!

Download the package (and probably libpcap) off another machine and install it locally on a usb key

Try using tcpdump -vvv port 67 or port 68 (add -i <interface name> if you have more than one interface) to see what is being exchanged

Other apps than what?

You can start Firefox without the --no-remote flag. And it would allow external processes to open links.

If your distro uses NetworkManager (very likely): nm-connection-editor

My Xerox works way better than on osx.

You need the mount point not the device. Probably something like /media/Files

You can still select just those packages out of their repos. Obviously that can get tedious if there are a lot of them. But that’s pretty rare and at that point it’s worth asking, is that software really worth it? Is there a better installation method? Could it live in a cheoot/container?

But that’s not just in the Apt world, any system wide install would behave like that.

sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /path/to/mountpoint

With make all the files in the path owned by you.

It does not block proper updates. You might be thinking of held packages that’s not the same thing at all. It isn’t hard to figure out what you want to pin, you can just pin a hole third party repository at -1 except the specific package(s) you want to install and then there’s no chance of that repository overriding a package from the distro’s repository.

You know you can prevent that with proper apt pinning right?
