  • Don’t worry, the basics are really easy to git get down, you can read any beginner guide to start trying it out, for example this one on baeldung seems pretty alright by a quick skim, or, if you prefer a more playful approach, definitely check out ohmygit.
    If you want to try a git hoster as well, make a GitHub profile if you want to go where most everyone is, so you can also easily contribute to others’ projects, otherwise, if you care about staying on a free platform, make an account on Codeberg, fewer people, but all great like-minded free software supporters

    …or make one on both, ngl




  • 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.service
    

    So 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 with man rpm-ostreed.conf btw):

    [Daemon]
    #AutomaticUpdatePolicy=none
    

    but 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/fedora
    

    So 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?):

    three dot menu > Configure Updates...

    which actually just leads to the system settings:
    Update software: automatically. Update frequency: weekly
    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

    Why so irritable? I’m just asking, I don’t even know German, I thought since you knew the video already, you could point me in the right direction, rather than me having to sift through it all while also passing it through a translator to hopefully (because I don’t know how well youtube’s auto-translate feature works) find the information I’m looking for in the whole presentation
