From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why won’t it work?
Because wget doesn't use standard output for the downloaded file by default, instead it creates a file with the name in the url in the workingdir. If you want it to use standard output you need -O -
Better? I was not sure did it with cd and forgot the parameters for wget XD isnt it -O /path/to/destination/ ?
I think you can just replace wget with curl.
Alternatively -O - I think.
You can't use the path directly because of permissions. And you shouldn't run wget with root permissions.
Yes thats why I did that and seperated it from the wget as I also think thats not the best idea
Okay fixed it. Damn thats weird, I think I just used sudo wget X -O /path/ but not a good idea I guess.
Still waiting for cross distro support with flatpak
Is Flatpak, from a technical standpoint, capable of running VPN applications?
Providing .ovpn configuration files would be equally cross-distro, and in fact, would be cross-platform since almost every operating system supports importing OpenVPN configurations or supports a piece of software that does.
I can’t tell you how, because I don’t know the technical details either, but why shouldn’t it be? If given the right permissions it can access the same interfaces as any process.
It is a bit hard to do, because they have systemd services, early boot blocking and all that. Not possible with Flatpak so they dont waste Time.
Yay!
Paru!
Yaourt!
Yum!
zypper!
Dnf on Opensuse !
Good job, Mullvad!
Now add port forwarding back.
Yes that is so sad. No torrenting anymore just leeching. Sucks. But understandable, how do other VPS providers handle that?
Idk for the how but airvpn does for comparable prices. This coming from a fellow multi-tb Linux iso torrenter. Also I assume you mean VPN unless mullvad does VPS stuff I don't know of.
VPS and VPN. Everyone hosting stuff that makes Police known on their doors
Does your network not support UPnP? You shouldn't normally need to port forward in order to seed a torrent, unless your network prevents NAT traversal.
Uhm, I dont know? Does that work over Mullvad? I thought then it only works if the other person has an open port
Where snap?
A snap could actually be possible. I am happy they dont focus on that, but Ubuntu can even run cups as a snap, their Ubuntu Core is pretty cool. It sucks that their store is proprietary, but you could write your own installer, fetching .snap packages from any repo and installing them locally
