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.

@brday Sorry, I wasn't available prior, my bad.

Seems jwmkit answered your question?

@jwmkit Thank you for doing so.

@both Sometimes I don't remember or have time at the moment...

Btw,  is daedalus up to snuff yet, its based on a testing version after all, or is it just too daed!

This is true, but having a backup isn't a bad idea just in case. 

@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...

@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.

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.

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.

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

/S

Hmm so its a negative headache inducing appearance, am I right, or wrong?

Here is a wallpaper for you @headonastick

Does this satisfy you?

Edit: How do I make it appear on the page like other people's?
