I have a fairly new Pi 4 which I'm setting up headless to use as a
NAS. I have done 'touch .hushlogin' to get rid of most of the
messages which appear at login but I still get:-
Wi-Fi is currently blocked by rfkill.
Use raspi-config to set the country before use.
How do I get rid of this? I don't want WiFi enabled, I just want
peace and quiet when I log in. :-)

I don't know rfkill but my suggestion would be to not use that, instead put "dtoverlay=disable-wifi" in /boot/config.txt which actually disables the chip, so it also saves energy (except that bluetooth on the same chip would still be on, so disable that too: "dtoverlay=disable-bt"). I have never
seen your login message.

I get
Wi-Fi is disabled because the country is not set.

upon login on my pi3
and I do have
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi
dtoverlay=disable-wifi
dtoverlay=disable-bt
in my /boot/config.txt
Do you also know how to get rid of the slightly different message?

Just do what is requested: sudo raspi-config; and set country (se?).

Ah, I thought it would go away just by disabling the wifi.
However I get this in raspi-config
No wireless interface found
and then
There was an error running option I4 Change Wi-fi Country
Hmm, I guess I have to enable the Wifi to disable the warning.
Something for next weekend

Just do it manually. Open a terminal window and: "sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf". You can try hitting Tab
instead of typing it all out, that will complete the path if it
recognises it. In the editor, at the top of the file it says:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
Add below that:
country=SE
(or the abbreviation for your country if it isn't Sweden.) Then Ctrl-O
to save, Ctrl-X to quit. Reboot to check.

But why do we have to set a country at all if we're going to disable
the WiFi anyway?

You may well ask, but sometimes for an easier life you have to humour
the computer.

wrong partners or employees are, you simply balance the downside of
them behaving like idiots, until they learn better, with the downside
of telling them that they are.
When it comes to the wife, she is always right, but if she wasn't it
would still be your fault.
