@blackhole I suppose that could be a risk as well.

Truthfully, most software has vulnerabilities unless it doesn't connect to something that doesn't do anything online.

Although I suppose it could be more indirect than that.

@golinux well of course, this world will eventually die, although... we will all likely be gone long before that happens.

The #1 problem with humanity is that we all want to have our way and feel justified in our ways and views.

Humanity would be peaceful if we didn't have such a tendency to get trapped by our egos.

The root of all evil seems to be rooted in the arrogance that exists within all people. Not one human in this life can erase their arrogant side. To do that would require us to be complete perfection and that is still impossible.

I prefer doas myself to be honest.  It is much less complicated but still has the functionality I need in sudo/su.

I use that even on devuan/gnuinos

With jwmkit combined with doas, I can shutdown properly or poweroff properly.

I cannot make heads or tails on how to do the same thing with sudo lol. There is just too much to sort out  in that  sudoers file

xD

does moc work for you?

use the command mocp to run it.

In a terminal emulator that is

@stultumanto I agree with you on that. holding back firefox updates won't solve this problem. Librewolf is the best answer I believe.

#106 Re: Installation » firefox on old 32 bit cpu » 2025-10-02 03:29:37

@32bits That seems to be what greed does to the tech industry. Sadly...

@sarcade I recommend it. But if you run into errors with discourse, you will need modify http response and when palemoon forums come online.

Then again, I know what you need to do with that addon to make discourse behave too.

It's a pain that people use discourse. Its a terrible forum framework software

Hmm... I'll try it whenever I get my new comp prolly. Or something. Now isn't great time for me to do so.

#108 Re: Installation » firefox on old 32 bit cpu » 2025-09-27 06:25:03

@sacrade2 you'd have a better chance of building palemoon for 32 bit honestly. Though I am not sure how anyone would do that. I have never built 32 bit palemoon before because never needed it. I stopped using 32 bit a while ago.

EDIT:

Well at least as my main OS.

On some computers I do use multilib and similar, but I don't think that's what you meant.

I have a luks2 installation of devuan, I disk cloned it from a qcow2 image, but when I copied it, it leaves a lot of unused space.

I tried to use cfdisk /dev/sda 

in order to reclaim space. It would work in my other distro (Hyperbola)

But it doesn't seem to do so for me in devuan 4. Weird as it might be.

Anyone know how I can add the unused space to home?

Like say I have 50G being UnUsed.  and only 440 of 490 space is being used. I want to put the other 50 in to /home.

How would I do this with or without loading a live iso?

#111 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-16 05:01:27

@EDX-0 Well I don't know much about autotools, but if you say cmake and autotools are both bloated, I can buy that thought process. Linux land is going towards bloat... so yeah

#112 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-16 02:06:06

@EDX-0

and cmake isn't bloated as hell?

Idk... man.

#113 Re: Freedom Hacks » Debian not providing new 686 kernels in Trixie » 2025-09-16 02:00:22

I am very glad that my oldest computer in my possession is 64 bit...

This being said, Debian devs really didn't need to change the framework so much that they needed to ditch 32 bit. What they should have done is stop bloating their system with redhat bloat  and similar instead.

#114 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] devuan (fresh install) noticeably slow compared to debian » 2025-09-15 01:01:40

@rolfie it still is a 13th gen processor. I bet it is faster than some medium grade gen 10 processors and definitely most older stuff.

#116 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] OpenRC Woes » 2025-09-09 03:47:52

@rwall that sounds peculiar, but I am glad you found out the answer you needed

#117 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] OpenRC Woes » 2025-09-08 04:37:44

@rwall stable or testing?

And if unstable, that's why its happening. Its meant for developers lol.

#119 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-06 18:39:51

@kapqa nitrokey is the best at the moment. completely open development. Not proprietary at all.

#120 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] OpenRC Woes » 2025-09-06 18:38:02

I recommend you avoid using ceres/sid.

If you use testing, openrc would probably work for that too, but devuan unstable is just a good way to get a broken system.

If you don't know how to fix the problems that come with unstable, use testing or stable. I cannot recommend this enough.

#121 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-05 03:49:32

@kappa nitrokey is better  then yubikey according to what I have heard.  Its completely open source or if you prefer libre.

#122 Re: Off-topic » For those who like open bioses, » 2025-09-03 19:25:05

T480 is a definite improvement over T430 and X230 too. It uses very little electricity from what i see. And at 5.0 load it barely feels hot on my chest.

#123 Re: Documentation » HOW TO: Install XLibre on Devuan » 2025-09-03 19:19:32

I think I might actually consider supporting this project. I still prefer Xenocara as an idea, but whatever.

My disdain for wayland is growing...

synaptic doesn't work in devuan/gnuinos. wink

#124 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Disabling firefox auto=update » 2025-09-02 10:23:33

Librewolf better,. firefox has all sorts of crap enabled by default including pocket.

@EDX-0 Is there a way to make it so that I only need to press up and down to scroll? Without shift I mean. for xterm
