@jwmkit what about cpu resources for jwmkit on daedalus vs chimaera
Memory usage doesn't have much effect of any kind imo unless it is extremely significant
For me, I would think cpu usage is probably more of a drain, on battery life more than memory usage anyhow and display more than both. ![]()
Another Hinton interview from Amanpour & Company
Hmm... this sounds more like a reason to kill Google.
Google's name comes from nonsensical babbling from a mathematician's child
Funny thing...
That's currently how intelligent it is even now as to how good of an idea it was and is now.
HINT:
It was an extremely awfully dangerously dumb idea!
Just to clarify quickly, the corporation itself needs to be killed! I am not talking about the people for those who might be stupid enough to misunderstand.

I found this https://www.privoxy.org/gitweb/appendix … 68ace1f2df
that suggests match-all.action has the default settings. The actions defined in my match-all.action look the same as the standard.Medium definition in default.action so maybe you're already using medium.
Seems I had to enable-edit-actions by changing 0 to 1
then go to here:
http://config.privoxy.org/show-status
And edit user.actions
More info here as to what I mean
https://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/support-requests/1754/
I wasn't completely clear on how to edit before of course though, but yeah.
"su: authentication failure". Makes me think that i have "locked myself out", kind of. Got the password wrong too many times, i mean.
Which tty are you using to log in?
Usually tty1-tty4 work and in my experience, the others are not so great and refuse to work.
To both of you anyone else who will reply, in simple words, I just want to know exactly what I need to change in the config user.action in order to turn on medium mode.
Standard mode is just too weak, for my taste.
Although, their documentation doesn't give me an answer as to how to modify for that.
No answer huh? Damn...

IMO that reflects the chaotic minds of the creators. Humanity is generally devolving. Not to worry . . . AI will eventually be in charge and very little thinking from humans required . . .
To be honest, neither the current pattern nor AI would be much better as leaders.
Too far to any direction, left ot right, leads to dictatorship once people get fed up and someone shows up to deceive them knowing they are so fed up, that they will be easy to trick.
This is how so many dictators including how Hitler got into power.
That being said, I am more concerned about the right wing right now.
Adopting a bunch of bernie sanders plans would actually move things to the middle at this point.
I have said this before, but its still something I think is true.
I don't care what the rich want or their supporters.
Ruffle their feathers till they choke on their own fumes if that's what it takes to shut them down. Let them get angry, maybe if real hope exists, they will give up or if needed, their anger will make them expire. I would prefer them to repent or at least give up, but greed is a deadly thing. Arrogance leads to every problem including that.
Btw, fun fact, I detest the ideals of liars and manipulators.
nor sure i understand. so you want to resize luks partition? other partition? there's only one partition?
you can't disable luks temporarily. there are ways to disable completely (under certain circumstances) but not temporarily.
but you can resize luks partition like any other one. involves a few extra steps, but not impossible.btw, you can use nbd mount for qcow2 image, and gparted on that afterwards.
That would probably also work. Thanks
I wanted to set its default mode to medium and have it adblock from that mode.
But I don't know what I need to do, to make it work.
Aka, am I supposed to put # behind the cautious one?
Or is it something else? I have no idea...
Anyone who can give me a hint of what such a config would look like, let me know.
It's downright bizarre the way they set up the conf.
@prospero I always disable touchpad on all my thinkpads if a trackpoint is available ![]()
Even if its via script
@brday Sorry, I wasn't available prior, my bad.

@jwmkit Thank you for doing so.

@Ron
Thanks for that info, food for thought if qemu isn't enough to get the job done.

Still, virt-manager works pretty well too last I checked for Devuan.
It actually worked for 0.3 Hyperbola pretty well, so it mostly DEFINITELY should work well for devuan also, even now.
Btw, is daedalus up to snuff yet, its based on a testing version after all, or is it just too daed!

@golinux truthfully, even if the eye candy stuff were the same as the old designs in every way but the appearance, I would still try to avoid it like the plague.
Time and time again, has already proven that as time passes, modern designs seem uglier and not better.
This is indeed my opinion, but I doubt I am the only one who thinks this.
All I have to do, is keep in mind, there are more than 8 BILLION people on the planet!

Why the hell do you make everything so complex? How in the world did qcow2 get in here?
This makes a copy of your Windows partition to your usb drive or whatever:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/yourusbdrive/win7backup
Then you mount your backup:
mount /yourusbdrive/win7backup /mnt
And copy all your stuff from /mnt to your new Windows install. No need for virtual machines or any of this crap.
This is true, but having a backup isn't a bad idea just in case. ![]()
@zapper . . . Thanks for the clarity . . . In the end the transformation that really matters is not the "movie out there" but understanding how the mind obsessively attaches to and misinterprets external events that are, in the end, inconsequential froth and foam.
Some are, some aren't.
This sounds vague... well... because it is...

@steve its not as slow as you think if you connect to a port with usb 3.0+ and are using SSD or better.
Btw, it is actually possible to disk clone from SSD to qcow2 image on a usb storage drive like onto this:
/media/sdb/files
Not even on just doing /dev/sdb directly, but putting it in the partition itself as a qcow2.
I love that this is possible as a final edit!
@erdos Glad it helped, I do this a lot, because I use a testing version of Hyperbola. I have done this with Devuan as well though. ![]()
Btw, I actually suggested you copy them to a usb drive just to be safe. If I thought copying to a different partition within it, I would have suggested it. I didn't because that might cause a can of worms.
Glad you listened to that part and yeah, steve is correct, reversing it was what I was suggesting.
Although, as steve also mentioned, if you wanted to restore files, a better option would have been available.
Funny thing, btw I use partimage afterwards! @GlennW mentioned partimage so I thought I would respond.
I actually have had to resize my installs from time to time when I do something foolish, so I usually end up doing the following:
I have a Hyperbola install that is light, like less than 150GB, with the stuff I want more or less.
Then I copy to /dev/sda, in emergencies and IF I know the image is RIGHT one.
Then I load a devuan persistent install via portable ssd and then finally I do what is needed to reclaim space via cfdisk /dev/sda
Then finally, once I have done the other steps to get it running properly, which I forget due to it being on a different laptop.
I'll modify this post later, but once its been added to the point where I can use lvm to add it to the partitions, at that point, I load the normal OS and do the last step via lvmextend.
If this sounds like a huge massive amount of work, it is.
You will have less steps probably due using Devuan and not Hyperbola.
That being said, I like DIY distros like Hyperbola.
![]()
Its not like Arch which breaks a lot but it also is still DIY.
Anywho, glad to be useful for once.
If you ever are concerned about losing your files very badly, that command you used will be a good fallback.
As long as you keep it both safe and on usbs that aren't likely to fail.
Rant over...

@ron that sounds like a good decision.
I don't know if devuan supports virtualbox anyhow.
The official images require systemd last I checked anyhow.
@golinux I am aware that humans are unable to have true peace, such a thing will take till the end of time to occur if it has a chance to happen at all.
This being said, I definitely seek such a transformation. As for if I seek it enough, I am not sure.
But seeing various discussions and learning about libre software, etc... these revelations came to me regarding the reality of my country and no doubt various parts of the world.
@ralph.ronnquist
I don't understand why you are so disturbed by it.
Then again, I don't understand why @Ron
Or really anyone still uses virtualbox when virt-manager and qemu are both options.
Even virt-manager is better than virtualbox though and bare in mind, I am aware it relies on qemu but is also more or less developed by redhat. At least that is what I recall anyways...
That being said, Virtualbox is horribly insecure...
The genie is already out of the bottle but at least the MSM finally caught up with it . . .
https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/vi … 6341189759
"Artificial intelligence has developed rapidly in recent years, stoking concerns that the technology is being released too quickly and without enough testing. Lester Holt speaks with Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin, co-founders of the Center for Humane Technology, about the dangers of developing AI without regulation."
It is a good time to be old . . .
When you say MSM, just to clairfy, you are aware that any media and all media that operates only on TV fits this bill, right?
When corporations like Google are considered left wing, by a country, you know the countries who think that are controlled by extremism.
Although I suppose denial can be a pre-existing condition, if you don't think this.
Not sure what anyone here thinks, but considering USA's alt right uses MSM alot, it sounds like denial to me very often.
I hope, that you, golinux that you aren't one of those people.
Btw, as an obvious, patents are hell for tech, due to the power they give the tech companies to abuse their power.
In any case, it doesn't matter who controls the DRM, even if the people are mostly benevolent, there will always be the factor for people who don't care about the law who will do whatever it takes to abuse it.
Bad guys will disable the remote blobs by any means, legal or illegal and use safe havens and abuse the vulnerabilities of those who are stuck with the backdoors to cause havoc.
It would be nice if the whole world understood this...
Heard of ciphersaber.com?
That's where I realized its not about catching bad guys or about national security.
Its about finding legal dissenters and about giving corporations endless power, nothing else.
The best way to copy partitions that I know of, is to load a linux live distro and plug in a huge fast SSD Flash Drive or Portable SSD Drive to a usb 3.0, if you want this to not take forever,and then use dd to copy it.
dd if=/dev/sdX of=/media/sdY/your.qcow2 bs=10M status=progress
the X is the location of the windows partition and the Y is the drive where you want to put the image on. qcow2 doesn't need to be the type of format you want. It has to be mounted though.
I have done this many times when I break my installation and I need to clone back to get my OS back to normal.
Thankfully, this is usually not hard at all.
Though you might need a lot of space for this to work. Though, it might still be a fast transition, it depends how you intend to do this.
If you are using 4th gen or newer, this won't take too long even if its a bloody terrabyte or more.
As an obvious, make sure you aren't reckless about dd.
If nothing else, you could also use this as a further preventative measure to protect yourself from a crash if your operating system updates something and it breaks, you will now have a fallback option.

Did you not notice the "..." and the text beneath those excellent words of advice? HoaS had posted an unnecessarily crude, knee-jerk rant/response to charliebrownau. It was deleted/edited by one of our mods. In response, HoaS has apparently moved on from this forum because he has not been seen here since. Or maybe you like talking to the "dead"? It's a little creepy. Maybe try a seance . . .
Ahhh I didn't see that from fsmithred...
Well that restores my interest in seeing him comment here again...
How crude was it? Now I am mega curious as to how crude it was.
Btw, he isn't actually dead... he just isn't around on this forum.
Dead means he is no longer alive, so... yeah not quite.
I am going to guess it was some dirty type of joke about charlie being pregnant or something stupider, etc...
Which, if so, is even more creepy than me commenting to him here.
@zapper . . . yes
Got it...
So essentially, like windows vista or newer.
It would have been nice if eye candy had taken 40+ more years to get as bad as it was in the days of windows vista, let alone xbox 360 and every other grotesque nightmare.

And this is the person who judged me nonstop over disagreements of things I did...
Meh...
I looked at that page and I noticed a few things:
They are against loud anti-systemd nonsense and far right movements at the same time.
Only problem is, systemd, was created by a corporation, thus... it falls in that exact territory.
@Head_On_a_stick
You do make me wonder if I should in fact leave devuan forums yet again.
Your caring about memory space while not caring about cpu usage tells me you fall in the suckless dogmatic category and thus you would be just as welcome as me there.
You might not be paying attention, but I will send just in case.
I am sure you know more than me about everything there is in the world
