COVID-19: The Great Reset by Klaus Schwab (Author), Thierry Malleret (Author).

"COVID-19: The Great Reset" is a guide for anyone who wants to understand how COVID-19 disrupted our social and economic systems, and what changes will be needed to create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward. Klaus Schwab, founder and executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, and Thierry Malleret, founder of the Monthly Barometer, explore what the root causes of these crisis were, and why they lead to a need for a Great Reset.Theirs is a worrying, yet hopeful analysis. COVID-19 has created a great disruptive reset of our global social, economic, and political systems. But the power of human beings lies in being foresighted and having the ingenuity, at least to a certain extent, to take their destiny into their hands and to plan for a better future. This is the purpose of this book: to shake up and to show the deficiencies which were manifest in our global system, even before COVID broke out."Erudite, thought-provoking and plausible" -- Hans van Leeuwen, Australian Financial Review (Australia)"The book looks ahead to what the post-coronavirus world could look like barely four months after the outbreak was first declared a pandemic" -- Sam Meredith, CNBC (USA) "The message that the pandemic is not only a crisis of enormous proportions, but that it also provides an opportunity for humanity to reflect on how it can do things differently, is important and merits reflection"-- Ricardo Avila, Portafolio (Colombia) "A call for political change in the post-pandemic world"-- Ivonne Martinez, La Razon (Mexico)"History has shown, the book argues, that pandemics are a force for radical and lasting change"-- Mustafa Alrawi, The National (UAE)

Looks like Arch had a broken GNOME 42 in their [gnome-unstable] repositories but they've fixed it now and pushed to [testing] so wait a bit for the same fixes to transition to ceres.

Debian has a bit of catching up to do in regards to gnome 42. I gave up on it within Devuan daedalus and switched to artix linux to get the full experience without hassles. Pro tip if you want gtk3 apps to look the same as libadwaita gtk4 use adw-gtk3-git from the AUR. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/adw-gtk3

or compile from git on devuan...

Archlinux wiki has a great section on Linux security.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/security

Ive never (touch wood) had security issues using Linux based distros. Windows years ago i did with all sorts of viruses when i visited certain websites out of curiosity.

My thoughts as well head on a stick. But OP is wanting to use network manager which is why i replied.

#32 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » network manager, couple questions » 2022-04-02 09:54:26

@ head on a stick.

Network Manager in my experience (chimeara stable only) does not ignore /etc/network/interfaces, you have to comment all entries except for loopback otherwise network manager will not be able to connect to wifi or eth devices. As you can see OP has eth0 not commented, if they comment these out or delete from the file NM should auto connect?

#33 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » network manager, couple questions » 2022-03-31 11:07:13

It may be problem with your nic or network manager. I have from time to time had issues using network manager with devuan and my nic being disabled/down for some reason. Has never happened on any other distro except for Devuan using network manager.

dmesg logs might also give more information once you have given the output of of head on a sticks command.

I probably wont use it, i just thought i would check it out as i was bored.

Protonmail is a lot better imo.

Ok you have to log into swisscows like you would a google account to access the email, it seems similar to a global account handling like google but swisscows, they may ad similar functions as google does but in a privacy way that respects the user, ive not read the privacy policy but its probably well worth taking the time to read it before continuing use.

Will give it a try and report back. The website itself is a bit slow for me, probably due to geolocation.

No i dont use libreoffice. I generally may only need something nicely formatted the way libreoffice writer may do it in case of a letter or resume, in that case i use markdown and firefox to print a nice pdf file. If one needs microsoft docx from me then they just wont get it.

The only way to weed out java is to make sure you do a minimal install and use --no-install-recommends when installing packages, and stay away from programs that need java and or java libraries, easier said than done i suppose.

In the case of task xfce4 desktop, this can be avoided by doing a minimal installation and or removing task-desktop, but doing that will remove most of your installation i suspect. Meta packages in debian can be a win win, but i find them irritating.

#46 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Important - log4j exploit alarm affecting Linux » 2022-03-17 09:55:13

you must have a few packages installed that rely on java, like Apache maybe.

Lots of programs rely on java and various dependencies of java. That is why this is such a clusterfuck.

The only package i have installed that relies on some java libraries is gettext-base and this is needed for grub, but log4j is not a dependency here.

#49 Re: Installation » Linux Mint Devuan Edition » 2022-03-14 11:33:30

I would say you might need to migrate to plain debian from mint first and then try to migrate a working debian system to devuan second, so two migrations maybe? But that would be a waste of time seeing as you want a devuan mint system, you probably need to go in the opposite direction and install devuan first and enable mint repositories.
