@UnixMan1230 That's why I disable the touchpad and use trackpoint on the keyboard. It works like a charm and is my thing.

#227 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] how to install kernel 6.6.47 (or 6.10.6) in a new daedalus install » 2024-08-23 21:19:51

There is another way to get newer kernels:

https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/l … sh.en.html

If you follow this guide, it will work.

BUT! If you need/want blobs, this method is useless to you.

I currently use it on my framework amd laptop. Now that the wifi card has been replaced it works completely fine.

Still, you get new kernels quite often.  LTS and the usual one as well.

#228 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2024-08-23 21:12:33

Btw, restricted boot is more accurate then secure boot for UEFI.

Also, the idea of having network stack underneath or OS is just plain stupid.

This is why people need to say  no to doing drugs.

Not including marijuana but stronger ones. wink

#229 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2024-08-22 02:11:29

Framework is addressing part of this. The constant waste and their hinges are repairable. Also MNT Reform is doing somrthing similar but with ARM64 so far.

#230 Re: Off-topic » Secure Boot? Yes, we've heard of it ... » 2024-08-22 02:05:03

Secure boot is bad, because there is a network stack underneath the operating system running like almost always*

*unless you disable parts of intel me and coreboot the system.

wink

Whose idea was it to put a network stack underneath the OS?

That only made problems for everyone, linux users included.

#232 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-08-18 01:06:40

I figured out that I forgot the nopass part for getting jwmkit to shutdown and reboot properly.

I forget where I looked it up, but yeah, it works now.

I will have to quote myself later.

This is solved tho.

#233 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] AMD Installation, » 2024-08-18 01:04:51

Seems I made a huge stupid mistake when I tried the first bunch of times to load it.

I didn't disable secure boot!

Guess what I did once I realized that? I think you know.

Like a sample config?

And also, I wanted to make it so, doas poweroff would automatically cause my computer to shut off.

But with one caveat, I want doas poweroff to work without root to users that can use sudo. But only that command will require no password.

I recently got an AMD 13 inch framework laptop, but I am wondering, I tried installing daedalus, but its not paying attention to my boot usb drive.

It has a live usb, but for some reason, it is failing. Anyone had this problem with framework amd laptop?

Thanks in advance.

If so, can you tell me what I need to do , to get my framework computer working with devuan?

#236 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-22 05:27:29

@Steve_v forget it then, I pmed you, because I realized I have been in a funk.

the FOSS community btw only Hyperbola really. Donated a bunch of money to them, mostly beyond that I have done nothing. So I apologize.

Stressed out lately.

#237 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-21 06:28:42

No, you grow up, I don't like it when people try to deliberately provoke me.

And for this reason, I wonder now if I should do what headonastick did and go far away.

#238 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-20 08:41:44

@soren you are the only one who showed any decency in this thread...

Yeah, I eventually realized that. but it still only gave me mullvad-vpn when I tried initially.

@steve_v again, its the librewolf approach that they don't do that annoys me. They could just make it so derivatives default to a debian release like bookworm . But they don't. That is fundamentally annoying.

If I could, I would delete this thread because the majority of you people are giving me a hard time over something very reasonable which is:

debian derivatives default to debian codenames. Is that unreasonable? if you say yes, something is wrong with you.r thought process.

#239 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-20 08:37:45

@pl It seems you ignored what I wrote about how librewolf does it.

And you also ignored other replies where I said, mullvad browser didn't show up when I tried and only mullvad-vpn did.

Btw, its people like you who are unforgivably rash who get under my skin. I have no interest in your two cents. ZIP zilch...

#240 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Mouse no longer works after update » 2024-07-19 22:21:07

I am fine at the moment when I don't upgrade openrc to the last release. Very weird stuff.

I have no idea why that works for me.

#241 Re: Off-topic » AI Safety » 2024-07-19 22:19:54

@golinux nah its more I just was a bit pissed off. Not as much anymore. I just didn't think probably enough.

I replied to your last comment though.

#242 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-19 22:18:33

@golinux he insulted me first... so yeah.

I got a little hot under the collar. I would prefer people not just assume the worst of me without understanding my thinking.

But that is... sometimes... impossible, I guess.

#243 Re: Off-topic » AI Safety » 2024-07-19 21:53:33

@pl that is not their prerogative if it destroys the environment for everyone and enables fascism to be more widespread.

Would you want all the new surveillance to be controlled by a fascist?

Imagine how tight Hitler's grip would have been if he had modern surveillance...

Let that sink in.

#244 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-19 21:50:13

@pl just like steve-v, you are full of it.

You are missing the point.

They could at least do this:

https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/

You have proven btw, pl that you are a knucklehead yourself.

#245 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-19 21:49:20

@aluma that is bizzare, I only could get mullvad vpn to show up... weird.

#246 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-19 21:48:26

@steve_v

Actually, what I expect is to at least have the librewolf approach.

https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/

Compare and you will understand better.

#248 Re: Off-topic » AI Safety » 2024-07-12 07:04:09

@aluma in any case, I see it differently than you both.  Btw,  more on topic, AI is a bad idea for these corporate giants to seek:

https://disconnect.blog/generative-ai-i … -disaster/

This is a good reason to tell Bill Gates and other rich a-holes to bleep off and humble themselves till they realize how insignificant they really are,

And that is putting it mildly, they should be in jail for all the corrupt stuff they do surveillance -wise at minimum. but its much worse than just that solely.

In any case, that's all I  have to say at minimum.

#249 Re: Other Issues » Chromium wonky for anybody else? » 2024-07-12 06:57:32

@stopai did you see what I wrote after that?

I clearly wrote Microsoft Edge, slimjet and Vivladi.

#250 Re: Other Issues » Chromium wonky for anybody else? » 2024-07-05 02:46:08

Only thing I can say, is if you have to trust Chromium or some more proprietary version, such as Microsoft Edge or Vivaldi or slimjet.

Always go for the most open source one.

Proprietary is a lock hidden by obscurity.

IE it doesn't work too well.

I detest the whole Chromium empire though in general.

Badwolf web browser and UXP based web browser both are the only ones worth anything.
