Nah. If you want to spout that shit you'll have to go elsewhere.

Post what shit, exactly?

Ok, so this is yet another heavily left leaning forum that tolerates any and all left leaning opinions, but people who lean the other way are told "nah, if you want to post that shit you'll have to go elsewhere".

I think I got it. Thanks for clarifying, and so long.

Because I see one type of politics being posted freely, but no pushback from the other side... which makes me nervous, because I am on that other side, to be perfectly honest.

I don't like places where one type of political viewpoint is tolerated as being just "whimsical" and common sense, whereas other types of opinion are treated as being "political" and (usually, I find) used to push those people out. Subtly or not so subtly.

As to your question . . . This forum does have a search function.

You might also want to look at The dev1galaxy.org (almost) No Code of Conduct.

I see an Administrator praising a very political post (at least, political to those of us who don't want to buy into the climate change narrative).

The same post has a very political signature, which seems ok.

What would the position be if I were to talk about all the things that I believe in, that seem to be (I'm guessing) kind of the opposite of what zapper seems to believe? Would I be chased off the forum, or ignored, or what?

I'm just curious, because I've been burned before by thinking I'm in a place where I can speak freely, and then I find out that only certain people with certain opinions can actually do that.

What if I support Donald Trump? What if I think anthropogenic climate change is a bunch of horseshit? What if I think Black Lives Matters is a corrupt movement made solely to produce racial division and polarization? Do I get to express those opinions too, or would that be "political"?

1: Just keep wasting resources willy nilly and when people complain about very real problems that are occuring, explain it away, do whatever it takes to get in the way of progress to be able to continue to waste resources as much as you want while the looming threat keeps getting bigger and bigger till even the most powerful people can't fight against it.

2:  It isn't about anything but greed.

It seems like people are very inherently opposed to not allowing the most powerful humans on the planet waste the planet's resources or electricity, etc...

Basically anything goes... type of bs. 

Like really?

Systemd like other redhat projects is a bloated hot mess. The more code there is to audit and check, the harder it is to find the bugs before they cause trouble.

What ninny thinks 1 million lines of code is needed for a protocol that's main job is to initialize the system?

A special type of ninny honestly...

a very dangerous one at that as well.

Might doesn't make right and yet, give specific people enough power and they will abuse it no matter what.

Even more so, the more you allow them to abuse it, the more they will seek new even more dreadfully dangerous ways to abuse it.

The linux kernel people and the gnu people should have both told redhat, F**K off you bully and promptly dropped their services regardless of what the head business yahoos wanted. Aka, people affiliated with redhat who believed the foolishness they were spouting.

This world's reality is not supposed to be controlled by narcissists or megalomaniacs or a-holes yet here we are.

Meh...

Most of the auditing and configuration of my personal system has been all guess work and very little in the way of knowledge.
Access to good documentation and improving knowledge base would be well needed before a 'user' can turn into a contributor.

As such I've just been riding on the coat tails of people who have contributed. It's getting good but, again most I can do is maybe start hosting and doing small things. Maybe stumble into bugs and try to fix any small issues.

In terms of writing something to automate or make someones life easier is beyond my capabilities at the moment.

As far as systemd files still in devuan I have manually removed many of them without much issue.
I don't like seeing a systemd socket when I run netstat.
I know it's there for compatibility but I still am confused when running sysV init how this socket opens up by simply having systemd files present. 
As far my use goes removing these files has not broken anything.

How long before they work out ways to exclude Devuan from being able to decouple systemd? I'm sure it's in the works.

That may end up depending on how many elves there are in the workshop. Devuan has been a labor of love for many of us but we are a small team that could use more hands on deck. Sadly folks love to USE Devuan but not many donate their time and talent(s) to help create it so the bus factor looms. We need redundancy and a new generation of creatives to keep Devuan on track. Care to dive in?

Commercial companies want to own Linux, so far we have been able to keep going, & reject them, but for how long we can, I don't know, so I keep my hand in with the BSDs just in case...

This did occur to me too, though I have no experience of that side of the aisle. FreeBSD or OpenBSD? Also I'm sure those cold, calculating minds have contingincy plans for the BSDs.

Yes, the last few years have made me somewhat jaundiced, not to mention paranoid.
