  • So, unfortunately it seems to have failed the magnet test. (Had to check what fail and pass were for that lol)

    Interestingly though, the lid of it is magnetic. And I was only using what I had at my friend’s house, which were small basic fridge magnets.

    I read it’s maybe possible it’s still not aluminum just because it didn’t stick to a magnet? I’ve got some stronger magnets at home but it will be a few days still before I can test that.

    And I couldn’t find anything which was pure copper, save for finding and stripping a wire somewhere.

    Thank you very much for your help here. It has been incredibly beneficial for this search.

    I will continue looking for strong magnets just in case, as well as reading where I can to see if anything says what else it could be.

    I may be at the end of what I can do outside of testing a sample of the material itself, but if anything comes to mind at any point, please feel free to toss it here. I’ll be checking back for sure as well as updating with anything I find.

    Thanks again!













  • Hm. I came across both of these. I might just need to contact one or more of these Tribes and ask there if no one is quite sure.

    I haven’t seen Whole Leaf Tobacco before. I was hoping to find something at a shop nearby. So, was just going to keep an eye out for whatever suggestions I got.

    Crossing my fingers for a late commenter to save the day.

    Thank you for all your help. If I end up ordering online, I’ll look at Whole Leaf. It sounds interesting. I really appreciate it.



  • I’ll let you know!

    My signal reliability and bandwidth will stay the same, but, distributing that between 1 download compared to 4-5 might make an improvement on it’s own, allowing the download to more often finish before it times out. But, we’ll see. Gotta get back to my PC.

    If not, maybe the timeout setting in the config file will help a little.

    Will report back!



  • Hello! Thanks so much for helping me with this.

    It looks we’ve been able to find the following for the config file for dnf:

    max_parallel_downloads in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.

    Here’s a post on how to increase it - so do the opposite, and set it to 1.

    Also, I wanted to ask you about your suggestion for downloading on the phone.

    What method or methods were you considering for downloading the packages on a phone? I haven’t heard of this before.

    Thank you again for taking the time to write back.

    I really appreciate it.
