I haven’t read the article. But I’d assume this is for the same reason that not not string is faster than bool(string). Which is to say that it has to do with having to look up a global function rather than a known keyword.

print('string\n', end='')

Since it sounds like this is your home router since you mentioned you use Comcast. If you are testing the site from within your network using your external ip then you are possibly running into a loop back block. Comcast does not allow traffic that originates from within your network back into your network.

Try the ip/site from a Hotspot and that might work.

If you are launching the hoyo launcher through heroic then that will also have to obey Flatpak permissions. Since that is how the containers work.

You could try enabling full filesystem access just to test whether is it Flatpak permissions blocking you.

Do you have heroic installed through Flatpak? If you do then install flatseal (through Flatpak) and use flatseal to enable permissions for heroic launcher. It should be pretty obvious how to do this once you have flatseal open.

By default Flatpak does not allow applications to write to directories outside of your home fir (and I think it also blocks access to other partitions).

Source: I did this on my system last Friday to install return to moria. Also I got zzz to work on my steamdeck out of the box with heroic game launcher.

This is true. And it’s also why I always recommend downloading steam through their website. They distribute their own Deb directly, and it auto updates.

Flatpak version is also okay but if you want to use a secondary disk then you need to know how to use portals (or the Flatpak configuration tool that I can’t remember the name of).

I think there is a value you can put into a /sys file to fix this. Had the same issue on my k10 keyboard. (the fix was easily findable on their forums)
