#1 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » noCSD for GTK4 » Yesterday 23:33:23
I have already seen gtk4 desktop environments... just bad...
qt6 is similar in that way.
The newer stuff keeps going for flashy nonsense. I hate it...
Smh to those who love it.
#2 Re: DIY » Qemu question » Yesterday 23:31:33
@ralph its between apostrophes now.
I tried using -smp 4 instead of kvm,+nx
And the rest the same and that helped, but I wonder if it can be better than this.

How can I change the below to make it faster?
It usually takes like 30+ seconds to boot up my system in a vm when I type in password. How can I make it closer to the speed of my native OS?
The below?
"qemu-img create -f qcow2 Unknown.qcow2 60G"
#The above is for making the image
"qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096 -cdrom Unknown.iso -boot d Unknown.qcow2 --enable-kvm"
#the above is for installing the image on the qcow2 built
"qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm Unknown.qcow2 -cpu kvm64,+nx -m 4096 -device AC97"
#the above is for loading the installed qcow2 image built anytime
"qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm Unknown.qcow2 -cpu kvm64,+nx -m 4096 -device AC97 -hdb /dev/sdb"
This one is for loading usb drives in the qcow2.
The above is how I tend to build my images, run them, etc...
I read that cpu/ smp can help, but I am curious how much.
EDIT: between apostrophes is the code.

@golinux good news:

@dzz read the above link also
It seems the that grapheneos might be supported on more then google devices soon.

If you have to use a cell phone, I recommend a grapheneOS phone. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't recommend straight android, because Google is an abusive manipulator

@golinux eventually XFCE will prevent custom desktop themeing? sounds like gnome developers messing up another desktop environment besides their own.

@kapqa the signature checks can be good, but occasionally, they can be a problem.
And sometimes it ain't easy to change them
#8 Re: Off-topic » Critical security flaw in sudo » 2025-10-19 04:53:15
@blackhole I suppose that could be a risk as well.
Truthfully, most software has vulnerabilities unless it doesn't connect to something that doesn't do anything online.
Although I suppose it could be more indirect than that.
#9 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] Development and goal of Devuan. » 2025-10-13 01:13:10
@golinux well of course, this world will eventually die, although... we will all likely be gone long before that happens.
The #1 problem with humanity is that we all want to have our way and feel justified in our ways and views.
Humanity would be peaceful if we didn't have such a tendency to get trapped by our egos.
The root of all evil seems to be rooted in the arrogance that exists within all people. Not one human in this life can erase their arrogant side. To do that would require us to be complete perfection and that is still impossible.
#10 Re: Off-topic » Critical security flaw in sudo » 2025-10-10 05:34:07
I prefer doas myself to be honest. It is much less complicated but still has the functionality I need in sudo/su.
I use that even on devuan/gnuinos
With jwmkit combined with doas, I can shutdown properly or poweroff properly.
I cannot make heads or tails on how to do the same thing with sudo lol. There is just too much to sort out in that sudoers file
xD

use the command mocp to run it.

@stultumanto I agree with you on that. holding back firefox updates won't solve this problem. Librewolf is the best answer I believe.
#13 Re: Installation » firefox on old 32 bit cpu » 2025-10-02 03:29:37
@32bits That seems to be what greed does to the tech industry. Sadly...
@sarcade I recommend it. But if you run into errors with discourse, you will need modify http response and when palemoon forums come online.
Then again, I know what you need to do with that addon to make discourse behave too.
It's a pain that people use discourse. Its a terrible forum framework software
#14 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » question about resizing luks2 drives » 2025-09-27 06:27:14
Hmm... I'll try it whenever I get my new comp prolly. Or something. Now isn't great time for me to do so.
#15 Re: Installation » firefox on old 32 bit cpu » 2025-09-27 06:25:03
@sacrade2 you'd have a better chance of building palemoon for 32 bit honestly. Though I am not sure how anyone would do that. I have never built 32 bit palemoon before because never needed it. I stopped using 32 bit a while ago.
EDIT:
Well at least as my main OS.
On some computers I do use multilib and similar, but I don't think that's what you meant.

I have a luks2 installation of devuan, I disk cloned it from a qcow2 image, but when I copied it, it leaves a lot of unused space.
I tried to use cfdisk /dev/sda
in order to reclaim space. It would work in my other distro (Hyperbola)
But it doesn't seem to do so for me in devuan 4. Weird as it might be.
Anyone know how I can add the unused space to home?
Like say I have 50G being UnUsed. and only 440 of 490 space is being used. I want to put the other 50 in to /home.
How would I do this with or without loading a live iso?

#18 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-16 05:01:27
@EDX-0 Well I don't know much about autotools, but if you say cmake and autotools are both bloated, I can buy that thought process. Linux land is going towards bloat... so yeah
#19 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-16 02:06:06
@EDX-0
and cmake isn't bloated as hell?
Idk... man.
#20 Re: Freedom Hacks » Debian not providing new 686 kernels in Trixie » 2025-09-16 02:00:22
I am very glad that my oldest computer in my possession is 64 bit...
This being said, Debian devs really didn't need to change the framework so much that they needed to ditch 32 bit. What they should have done is stop bloating their system with redhat bloat and similar instead.
#21 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] devuan (fresh install) noticeably slow compared to debian » 2025-09-15 01:01:40
@rolfie it still is a 13th gen processor. I bet it is faster than some medium grade gen 10 processors and definitely most older stuff.

@rwall stable or testing?
And if unstable, that's why its happening. Its meant for developers lol.
