Where does one go to learn how to post things such as a log into a scroll-able window into the forum. Thank you.

Hi dp!

On the "Post a reply" page there is a line of BB code functions about an inch above the input box.

First one "u" is to underline.

Towards the end look for "code"

to enclose scrollable code

Hilight the text you want to tag and then click on the desired function and viola!

Personally I don't have any moral dilemmas when it comes to screwing Bethesda out of a couple of bucks for a 25 year old game they had nothing to do with making in the first place.

You missed the punch line that is the root of all such actions . . . the "wanting" is the problem. Everything that stems from that impulse is "tainted". With out that "wanting" no rationalizations are needed. smile

@deepforest . . . It's not about money. It's about principle. There is no excuse for theft, ever. The "wanting" is the problem that is the root of much suffering. Learn to let it go and be happy . . .

Well, not anymore in this thread.

Please everyone . . . grow up and prove that our species actually can progress beyond infancy.

Devuan go wrong way?

The wrong way would be to tell the user what DE/WM they can or cannot use. We offer options and the user makes the choice.

Well, this venomous spew is a rude and depressing awakening to my long winter's nap. Free software should be for everyone,  everywhere to use and participate. So please pull your heads out of that dark place and join us in collaborative cooperation towards a possible future.

Please Dutch_Master . . . the Russian State is not the Russian free software community.

#1086 Re: Installation » Radicale can't be started using the shipped init script (using OpenRC) » 2022-11-16 20:00:27

Perhaps you could add it to the init-system-helpers package via Devuan's git store if the Debian maintainer will not cooperate. I think that's where it should go . . .

Debian sid certainly freezes. There may be a few package updates but not many. At least in my recent experience.

this.
sid also "freezes". no updates coming in while testing freezes to become stable. exception might be some last RC updates, but even that, stop completely a few days prior to release.

I stand corrected by those who swim in those waters.  big_smile

Ceres is always fluid and unstable. It never freezes. Please take a look at our release information.

Do not use Debian repos directly. All Debian packages including backports that won't break Devuan are pulled in by Amprolla to Devuan. You'll have to sort which branch is current . . . that magic is way beyond me.

You will also find https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html a useful tool to search for available packages and https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt to know what shouldn't be installed on Devuan . . .

Didn't Hyperbola morph into Parabola. Or was it the other way around? This thought just from a vague memory . . .

@alphalpha . . . that is a good question and thank you for asking it.

The fact that this thread still exists is not a vote of approval. Enforcement would just create more hostility. Instead, the OP was given an opportunity to learn to self-regulate and participate constructively in civil society . . . and failed. Seems he has made his choice. He has not visited here since his meltdown 2 days ago . . .

No . . . the technology is questionable. Always has been. The road it is going down is not progress.  It is human hubris. I have been watching carefully since the mid-90s and can find nothing there that I would knowingly touch . . .

That is a matter of perspective.

You degrade yourself to insult me.

There can be no "offense" when none is taken . . . Internal reaction to external stimuli is a CHOICE. Humans are notoriously poor at understanding this which is why our species is hopelessly mired in ignorance and conflict.

golinux your no doubt excellent admin brain is these questions are not your section but I am precisely here because there is a rare mix of wonderful minds here.

Yes, the Devuan "pond" has the most amazing fish swimming in it. On this we can agree.

But even if the internet had not taken the predictable turn that it has, there would be similar problems to distress us. Again, it is a CHOICE how to respond to them. Distress is not useful. Action is. Those of us here have made a choice and doing a pretty good job of it . . .  smile

@andyp67 . . . I suggest you start a personal diary to reflect and record your thoughts. Your ability to do so on this forum is about at an end.
