Why didn't  golinux appreciate the joke?
Because it is painful to see a life wasted on nonsense.

@oui . . . Please take note that it is DAEdalus not DEAdalus. At least we're not dead yet! LOLOL!  You should be able to correct your post above. I would have done it myself but then there is no learning. Thanks.

. . . or more mature . . .

#531 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-03-15 18:04:39

The groaners keep coming . . .

And remember that Devuan repos pull directly from Debian repos even for packages that are not forked . . .

I have always used WD Black. I think one was funky ootb and replaced. All the rest are still in service but most are not booted often.

Doesn't everybody copy paste before visiting a site? Devuan users shouldn't need the forum to babysit them by making it less visible and more cumbersome to use . . . wink

#535 Re: Off-topic » question regarding hyperbola os » 2024-03-11 19:37:21

@aluma . . . Yes. Truncating the "live" link if it is too long is default behavior on this forum. Since I like to see at a quick glance where the links are on the page and maybe have a quick look, I prefer them to stand out with a contrasting "link" color and be instantly clickable.

@stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn . . . I understand your reasons but wonder how many users actually screenshot a post. I don't know that I have ever done that. I have saved posts as text files and then manually corrected links if they are broken.

#536 Re: Off-topic » question regarding hyperbola os » 2024-03-11 17:53:23

My workflow uses R click to C/P urls. If there is no "h" it is not recognized as a link so requires highlighting the text before it will even copy the link to paste and then requires manually adding the missing "h". Interestingly . . . your solution to the truncation has never popped up before in all the years this forum has been running. But one time, I think rrq turned off the live linking because of the abbreviated links but that was quickly reversed. wink

Just curious why you aren't asking the hyperbola folks? Or maybe you are . . .

FYI . . . I am personally starting to get annoyed that you don't post live links so probably won't be looking at many of them . . .

I wish . . . but sadly I had to let wicd go when I moved to Chimaera but since I am always wired it doesn't really matter.

#540 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » multimedia repo not available and nvidia driver not installable » 2024-03-09 16:01:26

@delgado . . . I only meant to inform this thread that Devuan is aware of Peppermint's Devuan version. big_smile

#541 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » multimedia repo not available and nvidia driver not installable » 2024-03-08 18:59:23

deb-multimedia.org has always been a little unreliable. I gave up using it long before Devuan even existed because of cautions about it on the debian forum.  Everything you need should be available via the Devuan repos.

@delgado . . . Peppermint OS Devuan Release is on the Devuan derivatives list

#542 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Beowulf to Chimaera - precautions » 2024-03-08 15:46:16

@Andre4freedom . . . I don't mess much with git admin any more so can't help you with that. Maybe try Codeberg https://codeberg.org/

#544 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Beowulf to Chimaera - precautions » 2024-03-07 17:25:28

Yeah . . . importing a profile is easy. The hard part is cleaning up the outdated and redundant files. Then there's about:config! Yikes!!

#545 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Beowulf to Chimaera - precautions » 2024-03-07 16:19:28

I stayed on Jessie for a looong time. Then websites stopped working properly both the layouts as well as interactive functions. That is what forced a move to fresh Chimaera install and it was a royal pain. Adapting FF and other browser profiles took days even weeks as did adapting to the new interfaces and options.

Random  thought . . . If we do not stop replicating, the choices we make will determine how the herd is culled.

Techno fixes for whatever titillate our ravenous appetites for SNS and keeps the economy running but that just digs the hole deeper. The solution is not more but less. Less of everything that we are taught to need and crave.

I have a very low carbon footprint. My car is over 10 years old and has less than 25,000 miles on it. The only airplane I have been on in the last 25 years was to attend the Devuan Conference in 2019. Otherwise, I have not been more than @30 miles from my house. Paradise!!

We all see the world through our own filters . . . yours are not the final word. Please stop this adolescent nonsense . . .

#549 Re: Off-topic » fantastic evolutions: one of the best ones - Refractasnapshot » 2024-03-04 18:51:03

Yes . . . your halo of beneficence shines brightly! roll Please give it a rest.
