KDE Connect is fucking great
Unless your laptop is unable to find your phone and your phone is unable to find your laptop
Is there a way to show devices in the local network on Android
Hmm. Had to reinstall kde connect on the phone and disable the firewall on the laptop. Now they're connected. The firewall is back up and everything works
Except for file transfer from laptop to phone, that's still broken
None of this is transparent or makes sense in any way
What if there were error messages instead of things just not working
@schratze One of my least favourite kinds of discoveries is when something doesn't give me error messages, and I start looking into why that is, and I discover that the underlying protocol literally doesn't have an explicit failure state; it either succeeds or does not respond.
Particularly common with network discovery kind of stuff... 😕
