#1 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » Today 05:02:30
as of this post/date/time, the pclinuxos website only seems to resolve to a new/blank/wtf wordpress webpage. nothing lasts forever. as always, your mileage may vary.

regardless of what you do, when you do it, and/or how you do it.
do a fresh and complete backup and if it is at all important, have a backup backup.
it isn't a question of IF, it is a question of WHEN you will have some kind of problem(failure/fire/flood/theft/tornado/etc).
as always, ymmv.

the installation area of the readme seems particularly pertinent:
https://github.com/pftf/RPi3/blob/master/Readme.md#installation
Create an SD card (or USB drive if you plan to use USB Boot) in MBR mode with a single partition of type 0x0c (FAT32 LBA) or 0x0e (FAT16 LBA). Then format this partition to FAT32.
Note: Do not try to use GPT for the partition scheme or 0xef (EFI System Partition) for the type, as these are unsupported by the CPU-embedded bootloader.

#10 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Could not write to external drives after update » 2025-06-21 11:03:57
is this the same install as what you were referring to in this previous post?

This explains why I was unsuccessful in converting Trixie to Excalibur by eliminating systemd (the process was challenging as well).

hat-tip to @fanderal for referencing:
https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/xlibre.html
always enjoy dedoimedo and "turdling" was a big rotflmao. priceless.
snippet:
I do not hate Wayland. I have no personal beef with it. I don't really care. I'm not a developer. I am not bothered by software. It's a means to an end.
What I don't like is ANY, I repeat ANY software solution that champions mediocrity.
For example, Skype 8 over Skype 7. Microsoft removed the sane desktop-oriented Skype 7, which let you do multiple chat windows at the same time, and replaced it with a pseudo-touch "modern" turdling that could not do this thing, and many other things. New solution, inferior to old solution. Missing functionality. The end user suffers. Simple.
indeed...sigh.

referencing RSS Feed Readers, please go to https://rachelbythebay.com/w/ and do a page search for "feed reader" since she has done a fairly exhaustive review over the course of 22 commentaries.

think i have some thinkstation S20 workstations that i believe are pre-uefi if you would be interested in good serviceable free stuff.
naturally there would be some S&H unless you're close enough for a pickup/delivery/meet-in-the-middle-exchange. what is your zip?

mostly for future thread visitors and with respect to OPOT, just wanted to make others aware of EasyOS by Barry Kauler of PuppyLinux fame.

#17 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » ddr3 sdram upgrade » 2025-02-24 07:23:06
OP doesn't state current amount of ram, nor type/performance of main/boot HDD/SDD
is OP having a specific issue or just desire to update/upgrade machine?
what about watching for a newer/better used machine to become available at the right price?

5. Remember, this is a meeting place every that shares a love of Devuan, and Linux (without systemd). So please play nice.
perhaps this has error/miskey/omission around "this is a meeting place every that shares" area? <grinning-emoji-polishing-spoon>

#23 Re: Off-topic » Microcode » 2025-02-11 09:35:46
out of curiosity, here is a cut and paste quote of the fourth paragraph in that commentary:
This is ancient history for modern CPUs. Program code like x86 has long since stopped bearing any relationship to how data is physically crunched. Instead, that code is translated into micro-instructions that work with the microcode unit to optimally use all the pipelining, out-of-order execution, and inherent parallelism that speeds the plow.
mostly just wanting to confirm that others are also seeing that the last word in the last sentence should be flow not plow.
and confirming originating URL:
https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/10/microcode_attack_trump_musk/
also, it reads quite suspiciously and likely partially and/or entirely ai generated from snippets/soundbites originating elsewhere.
ymmv.
