leafpad: can't save config file – /home/furycd001/.config/leafpad/leafpadrc

For me leafpad on Ubuntu constantly throws up a config error and is never able to save any settings. Turns out it's just some permission errors that are super easy to fix. Simply enter the commands below into a terminal and change “username” to whatever your username is. The problem should now be sorted and leafpad should now be able to save your settings.

sudo chown username ~/.config/leafpad

sudo chown username ~/.config/leafpad/leafpadrc

Apple was temporarily blocking Linux users from accessing it's Apple ID website. It is unknown as to why apple did this, but it quickly got fixed. The Apple ID website is important if you own any products from apple because it's a way of managing things such as two-factor authentication, payment information, and many other account details. The number of Linux users accessing the website will surly be small, but for some of those users they did stumble upon the issue. The website was apparently sniffing user-agents to look for traces of Linux / X11 & if it found either it would straight away throw up a “Bad Gateway” error page.
