Haven’t had as much podcast listening time recently, so I learned about the most recent update here. I’m so amused about the episode limit change in that context, relevant xkcd.

Engaging with it more seriously, I think the new change is how I expected it to work when I first found the feature but the old behavior is more flexible and more of a power user thing. I do think adding the “download oldest up to limit” fixes a serious complaint I had with the app that I was doing a Casey-level workaround to avoid before lmao

I couldn’t find this solution anywhere except GitHub so posting it here. If you are prompted to select a WiFi network during setup, even though you have Ethernet plugged in:

1. switch to a TTY using Ctrl-Alt-F2 (or another F key)
2. type “deck” to log in
3. at the prompt enter “systemctl start NetworkManager”
4. Switch back to setup using Ctrl-Alt-F1 (note: on my keyboard this in particular actually had to be Ctrl-Alt-Fn-F1)

It should offer Ethernet as an option now and allow you to proceed.

Good luck gaming y’all
