It is mandatory in Excalibur but if upgrading from Daedalus, the merge MUST be done BEFORE the upgrade or . . . consequences. Hope you can work it out. You might be able to fix it . . .

Well . . . Happy Birthday, oui!

That depends on how and when the merge is activated as well as the non-standard choices made by the user prior to the merge. Please see this usrmerge announcement posted a few days ago.

Do have a look at this page to understand the Devuan/Debian release relationships:

I am still on spinning rust . . . and at my age could very well have a lifetime supply in my stash . . .

How did garlic get into the joke thread? Do some posts need to be moved?

Please don't take my observations personally. All too often I see humans, much like the fish chomping on a juicy worm hiding the hook, not getting quite what they bargained for. Over the years I have learned to curb my appetite and found it makes life much less complicated . . .

Imagine rain flowing down a mountain. It does not flow in just one channel. There are many channels that branch off and form ponds or even lakes.

It sustains a very unique collection of individuals the likes of which I have not encountered elsewhere in over 8 decades of searching . . .

I don't understand why anyone with connected brain-cells would touch facebook.  IOW the problem isn't Facebook because it is a CHOICE to use or not to use it.

But then . . . humans are egregiously lacking in self control and all too often end up screwing themselves by indulging in things they think they have to have . . .

The solution is to just say NO!

@Mike . . . I was wondering about that too so I checked activity on the list directly. The last post to DNG was several days ago 2024-02-07. Traffic there is sometimes very active and sometimes non-existent though I can't remember it being this quiet before. Try posting a legitimate post to the list and see if that kicks it into gear. 

PS. Have you checked Spam?

I will be happy to edit your first post once you have the URL in place. 

Sinking boat? Famous book? You lost me . . .

There are actually 3 options. You forgot about actually DOING SOMETHING besides talking about it.
