How much storage do they have these days? Personally I'd just load a bunch of media directly on to the devices and not worry about additional hardware or networks.

That is in fact listed in the article.
Usually it's not that different, though substitute dnf for apt, and package names might be slightly different. If you find instructions for Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS, Rocky, or Alma they're usually all compatible since they're all derived from the same source.
Probably. But it shouldn't be that difficult to just set the damn DNS servers. Used to be you just edited resolv.conf and that was it.
No. My site is a semi-hosted instance (they have turnkey applications, but also give shell access and a lot of flexibility) so I'm going to see what they have for easy deployment first. A static page generator if nothing else looks useful.
Honestly, there's not much on the site, so I might just take it down entirely.
Don't. I just set up a Linux Mint system for someone. I had a hell of a time trying to figure out the convoluted network and dns systems.
I use Windows on the desktop right now, but if I switched to Linux, it would probably be Fedora. I'd suggest sticking with that.
That sounds like the maintainer's problem, not a problem with apt/dnf/whatever. We've had automated build processes for decades. If you want stable, use a stable distro; if you want the latest, use a rolling release like Arch or something.
Wordpress is seizing plugins now? Jesus, they really are speedrunning the enshittification pipeline.
My personal site runs on Wordpress, and even though I'm not directly affected by this, I'm definitely moving off. I use other plugins, and for all I know, they might seize those ones tomorrow and start pushing changes.
Is it still using systemd to fuck up established systems like DNS?
I cannot reproduce any of these, though I haven't tried to block any senders.
I've never seen messages not show up in a search or in all mail. It doesn't search spam or trash by default, but you can override that by adding e.g. "in:trash" if for some reason you needed to include those. It shows me the sender email address just fine when I tap on the header. It also marks a message as read immediately on opening it. I don't see an option to change this on Android, maybe it's a per-account setting you can change from desktop.
Aren't the emulators licensed for this kind of use?
