Even in IRC users find ways to quote contents in a readable way, which btw still is possible here.

But sure I'd prefer to use a devuan.* hierarchy via NNTP, if all else fails maybe based on mailing lists gated to NNTP via Gmane?

The original Fediverse still exists.

You should only quote the parts you are answering to.  Generation clickycolour seems to have unlearned that.  I hear similar things from plain email.  Instead of keeping the messages of a conversation in a folder, some expect the whole message pingpong to be appended to the newest part.  Microsoftisms?

Well... at least I'm not overlooking the quote button.

SIGH!

My experiments on Devuan5 so far...

Two IMO relevant snippets from doas.conf(5):

It may be needed no not allow args for such wired to root commands:

     args [argument ...]
                  Arguments to command.  The command arguments provided by the
                  user need to match those specified.  The keyword args alone
                  means that command must be run without any arguments.

And I sometimes stumble over this one:

     The last matching rule determines the action taken.  If no rule matches,
     the action is denied.

I've a long compile job running so I tried to do this with a more harmless command.

~$ doas -L
~$ doas -L ## clear persistent passwords
~$ grep cmd /etc/doas.conf 
## permit|deny [options] identity [as target] [cmd command [args ...]]
permit nopass :sudo as root cmd date args
~$ doas id
doas (yeti@BEEP) password: (((ctrl-c))) 

~$ ## ok. that asked for a pasword
~$ doas date
Sat Aug 17 19:19:40 UTC 2024
~$ ## ok.   expected.   \o/
~$ doas date +%s
doas (yeti@BEEP) password:  (((ctrl-c)))

~$ ## ;-)  even better!  only allowed witout args.
~$ █

(((I hope I haven't screwed up that too much... the heat costs several IQ points...)))

Where can Devuan be found in the original fediverse?

If not done already, please let Gmane or Gwene forward the mailing lists to NNTP.

... and mention them e.g. here.

Only when it is necessary for a reply.

War always has been the driving factor in development of technology.

The cost finally will be to lose humanity by either converging with technology to transhumans or by being replaced by AI.  This will solve no problems, as transhumans and/or "AI life" still will need to compete for resources and so I'm heavily convinced that only war will be the permanent survivor, just the players on the battlefield of life will get upgraded sometimes.

Compare the URLs and you'll see why I did not mention it.  ;-)

But now for something not completely dfferent:

Some interesting/scary things can happen when ChatGPT plays with copies of itself.
And I bet we'll see commercial products based on such faster than this gets safe/stable.

I've no problem with the "electric" in general, but I'd have no power line near my parking space and using public charging stations just would increase the ankle bracelet function of these modern spy-phones on wheels.

The Y2014 model I currently have probably is the last one I can get without the now mandatory call home function on emergencies/crashes which I do not trust to only phone home then.  It even has only a classic radio instead of an android media centre!  And with only needing to see a gas station 4..5 times a year, a switch to something different just does not calculate for me.  Luckily!

May it last long and meanwhile: Public transport please improve!

Ok ... I'm pro electric, but I claim you just can't get such a thing without being permanently traced.

I think that's too optimistic.
I want to be proven wrong.
I will not bet on this to happen.
