Welcome to CentOs

hey guys,
anybody else getting this?

when i use my bookmark for the home page i get this message:
Welcome to CentOS
The Community ENTerprise Operating System
CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by Red Hat, Inc. for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be functionally compatible. (CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.)

CentOS is developed by a small but growing team of core developers. In turn the core developers are supported by an active user community including system administrators, network administrators, enterprise users, managers, core Linux contributors and Linux enthusiasts from around the world.

CentOS has numerous advantages including: an active and growing user community, quickly rebuilt, tested, and QA'ed errata packages, an extensive mirror network, developers who are contactable and responsive, Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to add functionality to the core CentOS distribution, and multiple community support avenues including a wiki, IRC Chat, Email Lists, Forums, Bugs Database, and an FAQ.

but if i select a particular forum i can see the threads like normal. is this a bug or something?

Error to send Firebase token to Wordpress plugin (missing os parameter)

I'm trying to connect posts from a Wordpress website using the Wordpress plugin and Firebase for cloud messaging. So whenever there's a new post in the website, the app users will receive a notification about it First, I need to send an API POST request with the device's token to the plugin. Ex:

URL structure: http://yoursite/pnfw/register/

Method: POST

Parameters: token (string): token given by APNs or FCM identifying the device, often called device ID (read here for devices without token, e.g. iOS simulator). os (string): operating system. It must be iOS or Android (case sensitive).

--Sample request for new registration: POST /pnfw/register/ HTTP/1.1 Host: yoursite Content-Length: 26 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

token=new_device_id&os=iOS

It is working when I test the API, but Android Studio keeps sending me this response:

2021-06-16 16:18:20.488 24664-24664/com.bc.brendan.soccernbandroidapp I/ResponseMsg: {"error":"500","reason":"Internal Server Error","detail":"Mandatory parameter os missing"}

Any help would be appreciated. I've been stuck in this issue for three days now.

iPhone to Andriod

Hi All

I hope you're well, I believe I've landed at just the right forum for this question I have!

I have an iphone (I know I'm sorry) however I'm looking to switch to android, however I pretty much know nothing about them, I'm just sick of being an "iPhoner" also I found the best case in the world for it which has made me really attracted to switching over (as well as the far superior features)

Sorry I'm dragging on, my question(s) being: If I was to switch over to Android which would be the best Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy, I prefer to have a good camera & just easy to use features, also I prefer the phone to be 5-8" long

Also I've heard muscle memory could be an issue when playing from iphone to android, if so how long till I become accustomed to it, as I'm always on my phone with clients I am cautious about it.

Many thanks for the help

Yours

Ben

Help How take a screenshot on Android device

Hello,

It's about 1 hour I'm looking for some method to take a screenshot on my tablet running Android 6.0.
The 1st thing I tried (press and keep "Power" and "Sound down" for 2 seconds) doesn't work.
Then I tried two application, installed from Google Play. They ask for permission, and when I click Ok, "settings" opens (curiously on WiFi page). Then I go to "applications" and give (rather try to give) permission to the screenshot application. Doesn't work ! When I rerun this application, the story repeats.

Thanks in advance.

Pavel.

Help How to stop t-mobile notifications ?

Today's was "There is still time for $0 down.....". Tapping on it goes to t-mobile's website inviting me to change to t-mobile and upgrade my phone.

Anyone know how to stop these needless annoying messages?

Help Strange Bloop Notification Sound

My carrier is Verizon.

Kernel version is 4.14.113 updated on May 10th, 2021.

And ever since then I've been hearing a strange (double?) bloop sound from my phone usually shortly after connecting to the internet. (I do not stay connected, I turn off data / wifi if I have no reason to access the internet.)

The bloop is not accompanied by any text notifications or popups, it just happens.

I tried to use the Notification History to see where it was coming from, but nothing. Except with the history tracking on, the phone had a conniption fit when a message came through, ...

Any suggestions on what it might be?

.thumbnails folder location on Android phone

Hi,
I'm so confused.
First, I have a Galaxy A50 running version 11

My issue is with the location of the .thumbnails folder on my phone.
I have all of my pictures and such inside of Internal storage.
I don't use the SD card. (Yet)

Based on my reading, I THOUGHT, I could expect to find a .thumbnails folder at the following location along with all of my photos and things.
Internal storage / DCIM
But, it's not there.

However, there IS a .thumbnails folder in the following location
Internal storage / Pictures
AND, when I take a new photo, a thumbnail is created in, the Internal storage / Pictures / .thumbnails folder, although the picture itself is in the Internal storage / DCIM folder.

Since all my pictures, screenshots and videos are stored in the "Internal storage / DCIM" folder, i THOUGHT I would find the .thumbnails folder there as well.

I hope that someone can straighten me out on this.

First:
I didn't expect to find a "Pictures" folder at all.
What is the difference between "Pictures" and DCIM ?
IE: What goes into the "Pictures" folder as opposed to the "DCIM" folder/

Second:
Is it even possible to have the ".thumbnails" folder in the DCIM folder ?
And if so, how might I do that ?

Thanks for any replies

Help Shortcut to Google Sheet on my home screen

I cannot create a shortcut to a Google sheet of mine on my home screen.
When I open Drive, click on the 3 vertical dots of my specific Google sheet, and select "Ajouter à Acceuil" (my Android is in french, in english it should be Add to home screen), I see the message "Ajouté à l'écran d'acceuil de l'appareil", but I see no no shortcut to this Google sheet in any of my phone screens.

Hopefully when I open Drive, then open this specific Google Sheet, it works !

Has anybody an idea of how to solve this minor problem ?

Help with Striiv Activity Tracker, please.

Hi.. So I don't know a lot of programming, but I can do some.
Striiv closed down it's servers and disabled the app that goes with it's watch... making them almost useless. My daughter though loved the watch, and I downloaded Android Studio and the Striiv Activity tracker apk.
Where would I find the login function? I have looked but I am not sure where.
All I want to do is disable the login, so it just goes straight into app.
Ideally it would be great to change the server connection to google, so if that's easier how wold I do that?

Thanks.

Help detach an app from the play store? how?

Not surr i understand the vernacular here, but as the title says. More or less, increasingly annoyed because while my phone is running happily, rooted, with a custom ROM, play store keeps trying to "update" me out of my pleasant experience with YouTube Vanced, and into the "might as well BE an ad-laden virus" that is standard YouTube.

Looking through XDA, since everyone wants to ape them as gospel, everyone keeps saying "detach the app." But literally can't find any way of HOW the heck to do that. Everyone says what, but not HOW.
