If I were Google, I'd have a stinkin' crook in my back from leaning to the left so much...
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Just in case that wall above my last comment is too big for some people to read,
Say I am 1000 on the liberal scale, say someone else is 950,
Naturally, if someone moves to the right I am more likely to think they are going too far to the right?
However, if someone is an alt right winger, as 1000, then even someone moving 2 points in the other direction, will be seen as being too liberal.
It has to do with the mentality of "DO EVERYTHING WE SAY NO MATT#ER WHAT!" and "CHANGE A BIT AND YOU WILL BE SEEN AS LIBERAL"
Mindless nonsense...
For the supporters of alt right wingers, disney does the weakest most tiniest action to rebuke the "don't say gay bill"
Then weirdos from everywhere, denounce disney as being very woke or whatever the hell that means...
Isn't that enough of a sign how far they have gone to the right?
Disney has always been mega right wing, just look at their racism and other issues.
The real reason Google does this, is to protect themselves, that is all.
They would prefer to side with the right wingers, but they have much more to think about than that.
Like making money?
-_-
All these data centers would be better served being torn down from the big 3 and used for actual goodwill and justice for all.
Too simple though, as of now.
Meh, what can you do.
@MiyoLinux
Like I said though, if someone is towards 100 on one side of the scale, in the case of right wingers lately, 95 mostly and some other right winger say its Google, is more like 85, because they resist certain stuff out of sanity to keep them safe, not because they actually care about anything but money...
The people with the 95 score will accuse the people of 85 of being too liberal.
Conversely, the same can happen on the left wing scale.
I am aware that my views would look like communism to most of the nutjob right wingers in this country, given that I don't have a fondness for copyright, trademarks and patents and if they were to continue, they would need be 10 years in every conceivable way before going to public domain, no extensions allowed, etc... not to mention, I would want all these greedy companies that get subsidization to lose it without any compensation whatsoever, including fossil fuels and tobacco, alcohol products and ban surveilence by corporations and ban the pat-riot act and similar bs laws from existence.
Force the web to be debloated back to a 1.0, or 2.0 state, back javascript and java and other likewise bloated technologies from being used for anything.
Would also want corporations to be taxed 100 times more than they are now, given they already dodge taxes anyhow.
I could go on and on, but my point being,
they would see me as a 2000 point score liberal.
Reality is, there are some europeans who have these views and they looked at as being the bernie sanders of Europe in the sense of how the country views their thoughts.
That's what I have gathered from all the youtube comments I have seen in the past on politics videos and getting into open source or as some call it libre software, etc...
PS, I begin to wonder if Google's idea of open source isn't so much that its Proprietary open source software, as much as:
Sneaky Open Source Software
To be honest, they probably don't need to make anything proprietary at this point in their services as long as the code is mega hard to change like redhat.
Btw, I mentioned that redhat is a spelling for hatred for a reason.
Its like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
When they choose that name, it was almost like they ironically predicted their own future!

Well unfortunately your issue got "closed as not planned" and locked zapper. Not sure how I will earn my million dollars using Windows 3.0 now, I was really counting on that.

Here's how to troll with a PR:
https://github.com/VegaDeftwing/opinion … og/archwtf
The PR itself was removed but "VegaDeftwing" (if that is their real name) helpfully saved screenshots of all my posts. Just use the "view raw" option on the images to behold the magnificence...
They even tried to grass me up to the Arch devs
EDIT: the actual PR just completely deleted their terrible Arch installation "guide", which can be found here.
EDIT2: and here's the follow-up blog post:
https://opguides.info/posts/wtfarch/
Fucking hilarious.
The follow-up blog post you mentioned started out actually funnier than I expected lol.
the part where you responded to him saying contribute to the guide instead, your response has already started out hysterical that soon.
![]()
Though, maybe I should mention, that was actually the funniest part for me. Went down in quality after that little by little I thought.
The first, was brilliant, the fifth, was amusing, the 8th, was a bit confusing as to the joke there? I assume it has to do with it being experimental software? Idk...
The rest, meh...
That being said, I enjoy sarcastic trolling more than regular trolling usually, so that might explain why I feel this way if you didn't understand before.

zapper wrote:Since when do liberals identify with google?
Wait just a stinkin' minute...
Google isn't liberal?
Yup, they just are a corporation, that wants to continue to make money in deceitful ways, without people on their case, as much as possible.
That being said, if someone is 10000% too far to the right or the left, anyone who deviates a little bit, will seem like they are on the other side, if they have enough anger, hatred, or just passion in general for changing things.
Although, doesn't have to be good, or bad.
Though the moment anger and hatred become part of that passion, thats where it is headed.
As an aside, I think I just realized the word "Hatred"
hatred comes from two words, hat and red.
Thus, we can safely say that the illuminati predicted the orange ones rise to power and so he made the word hatred to warn people, not to trust anyone who loves red hats as a person for the government.
Is this true?
Probably not, but the similarities are so suspiciously nuts, that I am just stunned... just noticed this.
LOL!
xD
I only posted this here, because of one thing specifically, its because I am speaking of doing this with regards to Hyperbola.
Does anyone know how to use gparted, or gpart to disable encryption temporarily in luks, so I can resize the vm, but without increasing the size on the physical disk but make sure that it is available in the virtual disk.
Right now for example, I have a qcow2 that uses 8.4GB but, it has 118GB virtual disk size in it.
Reason being, I want to be able to copy the qcow2 to disk whenever needed without any annoying problems, of space getting used up too much.
I also wanted to make a few variants of it.
200GB
465GB/476GB
954GB
and still have the 118GB of course. ![]()
The non used space though, I don't want to take up physical space on disk though.

Make sure you dd the iso to the whole device, not to a partition. ( to /dev/sdb and not to /dev/sdb1 for example.)
So qemu-system-x86_64 isn't a way to do so?
Aka, with the command parameters from earlier in this thread only slightly different.
Btw, if it doesn't work properly installing via qemu on a vm, that's usually a sign of somrthing needs to be fixed.
If live-boot is broken (can't find the mount command) then it doesn't matter if you install to VM or hardware.
However... the fixed version of live-boot is now in sid/ceres and will soon be in daedalus.
$ apt policy live-boot ... Version table: 1:20230131 10 10 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres/main amd64 Packages 10 http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
I mean, yeah... that is a given.
but my point being, is just that, if it can be done with vm, it should work outside of vm.
There is only one catch:
You won't know if internet works properly with a VM.
So... yeah.
I usually do this more or less:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 an.qcow2 60G
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 3072 -cdrom an.iso -boot d an.qcow2 --enable-kvm
qemu-system-x86-64 --enable-kvm an.qcow2 -cpu kvm64,+nx -m 4096 -device AC97
Btw, if you already have the OS installed and use the cd rom option and it looks like it will boot the usual os, it is still possible to press escape or have it start the other way, etc... if needed. ![]()
Head_on_a_Stick wrote:That librtmp1 package is not from Debian or Devuan. It is listed in that "damage.log" you posted over at daemonforums.org and it was from one of those crappy third party repositories.
So if you had done what I told you to:
I wrote:You can try removing all of the stuff installed from those repositories to see if that fixes git. Given that git works fine in the "pure" live environment I would expect that to be the case. Good luck!
Then you wouldn't have wasted everybody's time and effort here...
First, when i said "from Debian 8", i mean't my old Debian 8 system, not the Debian 8 repo.
Second, it came from a third party repo which was removed from the system years ago and not from TDE, LLVM or Mono.
Third, damage.log contained a list of 1188 packages. You really did not think that removing them one by one and testing if git becomes alive is a viable option, did you? Not mentioning time, it contained tons of programs i use. Therefore what you've told me to do was simply could not be done.
Btw, you do know that your username isn't how they spell that drug right?

Meh. Not impressed.
Check out my forums.debian.net post history. Some real gems in there. Even when I was on the "staff". It was my fault that the Debian developers finally took an interest in the place again and flew in their wonderful "donald", if that is their real name.
Not impressed?
Go figure...

Yes, true, agreed. But spreading FUD like in the OP (the EU is making a law and it's the death of FOSS) is something the FOSS community should stay well away from.
Just me tuppence folks!
Funny, some youtubers I have seen via invidio instances have said something similar to the OP.
Also, thinkpenguin, said something regarding all wifi routers being locked down, but that also seems to not be true, for linksys anyways.
It was with regard to FCC new rules that were being pushed at one point, not something thinkpenguin said, just so you all know.
Except linksys was refusing to fall for the trap of feeling like they need to lock it down completely like the others.
This all being said, fear is everywhere more or less.
some is valid, some is semi valid and some is flat out lies.
Again, one can take the harm out of UEFI/EFI Firmware/BIOS:
DISABLE "SECURE BOOT".
That frees you from the dependency of MS-signed keys for OS or software... And saves you from a lot of configuration trouble.
To be fair, coreboot + intel me disabled can be done up until Intel Gen 10 on quite a few processors.
If you wonder why I know this, look up Nitrokey.com and then check NitroPC on their website.
Nitropc uses that.
My point being, UEFI is very often a pile of unneeded crap.
The only exception is for people who work for people who have the gall to think that windows serves any purpose on any rational level.
Which is a "deceptive, stupid, or morally depraved" argument
Then again, bosses who feel like Windows serves a purpose are very common... so the above criteria does alas apply.
I was waiting for @zappers input from our discussion before making the suggest of JWMKit as a possibility for this repository, but I see he already jumped in head first.
I guess he's quicker to action than I am. Thanks
JWMKit is not in the Debian repository and the project was originally release here on these forums as a Refracta build of Devuan. I do maintain debs so it should be easy to add to the repository and keep up to date.
I think it would also be nice to see things like JWM themes in the repository, and custom Devuan wallpapers, icons, etc. Or archives of older Devuan artwork that is not in the current release.
Also having the repository would help deliver the newest versions to the user of my Devuan based JWMKit Linux.
I thought that was already obvious... I was confused why you didn't reply here sooner.
xD

@MiyoLinux "No hate against Arch, and I haven't tried this experiment since then...but I have no desire to use a system that claims one thing but does another... tongue I guess their KISS philosophy is to keep it simple and install junk that users don't need??? I don't know. big_smile"
That is sad lol and yeah, their youtuber base tries to act high and mighty about their suckless philosophy, while ignoring the big elephants in the room.
There is for example, nothing suckless about, dbus, systemd, avahi, pipewire, pulseaudio, networkmanager, the libraries for these protocols, java is another stupid one, node.js, openssl is another mess, etc... point being, the difference between archlinux and debian is that debian never claims to be lightweight...
But archlinux has, thus they are liars.
Its sometimes hard for me to believe, what Hyperbola has done to debloat the EXPLETIVE out of that hulking mess to make an ultra lightweight distro.
Its like using the OpenPOWER processor arch and making Microwatt or Libre-Soc, only it is probably not nearly as hard to achieve on a time basis.
Not sure on a difficulty basis tho. Besides which, both of those are still, incomplete, last I checked.

Meh... it is what it is.
zapper wrote:I don't always think before I act/post
No shit.
This statement, though some would consider it crass and offensive, is just annoying, but true.
I will admit, that is nicer than I expected from you.
Not meaning to sound sarcastic either.
To be fair, I am being completely serious.
My point was, you might perceive this as sarcasm, but its not.
Anywho, later!
I did suggest that a bug report was called for in respect of that statement over at the forums. It's nonsense.
EDIT: and yes, Manjaro fuckwits regularly try to get Archers to fix their problems. It's very sad.
Sad sounds about right, because they will get harrassed with lots of to put it mildly, mamba venom.
Or to put it in a way some would understand:
They are going to get the "Discord treatment"
When did you suggest a bug report for that?
If I had to guess, it probably got closed as invalid, or won't fix.
Not sure tho... but that is the usual way things go.
zapper wrote:Does this work this way on hardware from 2008+?

I think so. Have you checked sysfs? Which governors are available.
And please stop full-quoting unnecessarily. It's really annoying and it makes the thread very hard to follow.
Haven't actually checked sysfs specifically, was trying a while ago.
As for the full quoting, I should mention, I don't always think before I act/post, etc...
Its a long story that I cannot get into right now...
zapper wrote:Manjaro users aren't bastards
The ones who try to get help on the Arch forums are.
Really? I didn't think they did that, especially given the elite nature of archlinux...

Arch is not, and has never been, lightweight. It uses glibc FFS...
Hmm... then why does it say that on their webpage?
Weird...
EDIT:
"You've reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple."
Very strange...
zapper wrote:I hear underclocking, increases power savings
I disagree. The scaling governors will ramp down the frequency *very* quickly if the CPU is idle. My Ryzen 5850U drops to 400MHz with the amd-pstate driver. Not much point underclocking that.
And anyway I would think it would be more power efficient to run the processor at full speed and get the job done quicker.
zapper wrote:autocpu-freq
That looks pointless to me. There's no way a user space program can control the CPU frequency scaling as well as the kernel. Just use the powersave or conservative governor instead.
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance schedutil $YMMV.
Okay, the above messages you said here, are actually good advice, just one slight issue though:
Does this work this way on hardware from 2008+?
Or before 2014?
Considering this, I will take your advice till other situations make themselves known.
