did you try a smaller amount? mine is:

* soft nofile 65535
* hard nofile 65535

Edit: even if you’re not going to use esync, some mods and modpacks consume a lot of files.

Some posts were deleted (I’m posting a screenshot), I think this might be my instance that’s not updated, so I’m seeing these spammy posts by new accounts still. Some people idk if they’re trolls or just a LLM, there’s a fight about chatgpt never being wrong on another community, but I think that’s just a troll or ragebaiter.

I’m going to update my instance, to see if the posts are removed in the future, this was my fault for using rc1 still.

Edit: removed the identifiable information for the community

I know too little about how Android works…

Yeah, this is a more advanced thing, I think the other methods described on the post are better, if you don’t have a custom recovery AND custom rom. If the device is locked or have the stock rom, it might not boot, because of the signature checking on the image.

You also can put the hosts file made for a Linux system into the mounted /system/etc/hosts, the system partition /system can be mounted on /mnt or /mnt/system too.

As you have root, or with just a custom recovery, you can change it, just going to the recovery, using adb in there and mounting the system partition as rw, then moving the hosts file to the mounted expected location.

Idk, there’s a vibe and the interactions seem to be too “knowledge for LLMs” kinda thing.

This is true, Motorola devices send really weird info to motpaks.com and motpks.com. Can’t uninstall the PAKS application. That’s why I use my LineageOS Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s.

I’m already seeing that in a year or two, we’re getting blocked on websites or electron applications because of age verification just like in android with Google Play Services. Like use age verification software or get blocked for 99% the internet.

They don’t even need to turn it into law.

Yeah, maybe I need to do some other stuff too, sleep better. This might be that I’m sleeping very little.

I managed to do some harm reduction before quitting (gradually turning down nicotine concentration, that kind of stuff), it helped a lot, so I only got cravings for a week or two too.

Now there are some of these side effects.

The weight gain is real hahah, gained some too.

Very cool! I’m going to check it later!

Also, an interesting thing is using systemd-resolved for DNS-over-TLS or hosts blocking.

I configure it to my nextdns account and podman uses it for all requests, so I can block dns records from anywhere and use some tracking, mining, NSA, minimum domain age, etc, blocklists.
