The meaning of FCFS

Recently, I was asked this question by a fan on Twitter:

FCFS means what?

We first learn about FCFS in 5th grade when we are asked to write a social studies essay on The Declaration of Independence. We are told to give our opinion on the meaning of the Declaration of Independence. That essay is then graded by the teacher and ultimately passed on to our parents. Your parents then grade the essay and finally pass it on to you. FCFS is how our parents and teachers grade our essay. It’s important to know what FCFS stands for. The only reason we learn about FCFS in 5th grade is because in 8th grade we are forced to learn what fascism means.

That’s right.

Why should you care about FCFS?

Whenever I write about Linux, I try my best to give you as many reasons as possible why Linux is your best bet for a working and free operating system. This post isn’t about that. In this post, I will simply mention why FCFS is a great addition to your system and how to get it working.

FCFS stands for File Hosted Folders, and that’s pretty much what it does. It allows you to “host” files in a folder that lives at your file system. If you’re like me, you might have several of these shared folders (think of a shared storage device for example). In the past, you’d have to open up a terminal window and navigate to each individual folder to add new files, drag-and-drop, or copy files from one folder to another. This was time consuming and labor intensive.

How does this affect you?

Note: I am writing this article after becoming aware of some article that was claiming there was a problem with 7 or more users installing SuperSU. The article was here on XDA.

The Archos 5 includes a pre-installed Android root application called Fcfs. Fcfs (Full File System Tracker) is a root application that was developed by Archos. It is known to work with most ROMs that are based on Android 5.0 (API level 21) and higher. To be fair to the Archos 5, it is a pre-installed application that was developed by Archos, not CyanogenMod or any of the other custom ROMs. The fact is, 7+ users of the Archos 5 will find it difficult or sometimes impossible to make a clean install because of the way the Archos 5 uses Fcfs to stop people from installing SuperSU or other root apps.

Conclusion

Modern JavaScript is full of tools, and plenty of use cases are perfectly suitable for a JS framework such as React, while others might be more suitable for libraries such as Async, Lodash or Elm.

All these various libraries have built-in utilities for specific uses cases, such as magic strings, performing async code, managing arrays and many other special functions. What you need, if you want to use these utility functions, you have to include them in your code in order to access their functionality. And you end up dealing with many compiler errors and missing methods.

Fortunately, there exists an alternative, called Fcfs, that enables you to use some of these utilities in an additional style without that extra effort.
