Nice to see you, greenjeans. It's been a while. What a wonderful project you're working on! I have a soft spot for libraries as I worked for a while in the University of Chicago library many decades ago. I got pretty good at finding misfiled items many floors down in the musty dark caverns. It was a bit creepy but fun too. 
Do let us know when the website is launched and we can celebrate your accomplishment!

Ozi Traveller last posted on this forum on 2022-07-10 18:30:38 and on the DNG mailing list on 2020-09-16. Seems he has vanished. I haven't a clue . . .

@zapper . . . Of course.

@Camtaf . . . Another option to abandoning ship might be to roll up your sleeves and contribute to finding a way to turn things around. Just sayin' . . .

What rock have you been hiding under, zapper? Devuan Excalibur will be merged and needs to be upgraded to "merged" in Daedalus before moving to Excalibur.

@GlennW . . . Yes, timing is important. For about a week the dev1galaxy forum has actually presented itself as a TECHNICAL support resource for the Devuan community as it should be, instead of a relentless churning of off-topic nonsense. It has been a bit like removing a thorn from the bottom of your foot . . .

If you are not living in the reality of the present you are living a fantasy. Sooner or later, when you least expect it, there will be a price to pay for the comfort of that avoidance. Sadly, humans keep repeating that cycle over and over and over . . .

This thread is overdue for a timeout . . . can we please just freeze it for a few days or more? We shouldn't be wasting devuan resources on this nonsense.
/me goes back to boycotting this useless thread . . .

Thank you for that lovely post, goat. However, playing devils advocate . . . sometimes truth hurts and even a Zen master has a stick.

I haven't played with it but the screenshot looks really nice.

Lol boy do you have a warped view of who I am.
Ditto . . . and I would be happy to explore that via email . . .

@quickfur . . .Yes, and I have just re-read New Devuan user here in which you received a very warm welcome.
In that post you gave some personal history regarding Debian/Devuan and your personal life. You were showered with a warm welcome and plenty of information.
You are very good with words but haven't a clue about the history and interpersonal relationships that it has taken to get Devuan to this point and makes it so special. It has been about love and joy and cooperation.
Seems you might not be a good fit with the ethos here . . .
I do hope that you can learn to deal with your anger more constructively going forward . . .
#266 Re: Off-topic » Thank you Devuan » 2024-10-08 19:53:29
@quickfur . . . No, I am disappointed that you choose to shoot the messenger rather than engage Devuan in a meaningful way. If I have missed something, please correct me.
#267 Re: Off-topic » Thank you Devuan » 2024-10-08 16:35:08
We will fork the Linux ecosystem and leave the unified world behind. ("Unified world" is an euphemism for "dystopia under the control of a few who took it upon themselves to control everyone else".) We will develop it in a wholly different direction, where the empowerment of the user matters more than the agenda of the few.
And who is this mythical "WE" of whom you speak? You have no git account. AFAIK have never been seen on IRC or even the mailing lists, at least as quickfur. And one of our jitsi meets? Hahahaha! What have YOU contributed to Devuan besides an endless stream of wasted bits in OT and empty rousing rhetoric to encourage someone else to do the work for you. Epic fail . . ..

WOW! You are quite an archeologist, nixer!! So openly brazen!! How was this post not found nearly 15 years ago?
