I added code tags to the above. That and other options are found immediately above the text input box.

For root access try su -.

#202 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-21 20:34:59

What is in a name? "Systemditis" is an imaginary affliction. If the files do nothing what does it matter except take up a few bits or is it bytes? Devuan does not have the human resources to remove all of those useless barnacles though someone did manage to do it early on for Jessie.

@zapper . . . You seem to take the joke thread with you wherever you go . . . wink

#204 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Devuan est à la traîne (google: Devuan is lagging behind) ! » 2025-01-21 00:19:40

Think of this entire post as a train wreck getting hit by a necro-posting meteor . . .

#206 Re: News & Announcements » Merry Christmas » 2025-01-17 15:55:18

@greenjeans . . . The "holiday season" (which only a minority of the world celebrates) is long over and your comment is good note on which to close this thread.

#207 Re: Off-topic » 2025 Topics: AI Controls, Global Datacenters, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. » 2025-01-17 15:46:15

@zapper . . . Nonsense is wasteful pollution for this forum and also for the individuals participating.

#208 Re: News & Announcements » Merry Christmas » 2025-01-16 20:41:41

Human derived "celebrations" are useless, inconsequential and delusional and bind us to fantasies and the narratives de jour ( or try to).

#209 Re: Off-topic » 2025 Topics: AI Controls, Global Datacenters, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. » 2025-01-15 18:05:34

Can't we find more elevated and constructive things to talk about on this forum? Note that this thread is already on it's way to being locked . . .

#211 Re: Off-topic » US Proposes Forcing Google to Sell Chrome . . . » 2025-01-14 16:09:26

This thread is getting absolutely ridiculous.

stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn: Why are you posting endless links of nonsense? Maybe you're a bot and your system is in a loop?

@zapper, golinux modification was only to add some text to the original post (no deletions iirc)

LOL! So much for my short term memory. There is just too much nonsense on Devuan channels to remember the specifics. Add to that zapper's over-active imagination and erroneous assumptions and . . . it's off to la-la land!

#213 Re: Off-topic » Thoughts on Pipewire » 2025-01-07 20:56:37

@greenjeans . . . Thanks for the howto! I am still safely on chimaera but will visit here when I am finally motivated to upgrade . . .

#214 Re: Off-topic » Mods modifying posts. » 2025-01-07 16:44:34

FYI . . . I notified the user in question by email. The content was crude, out of line and irrelevant. Perhaps too much beer was in charge?

I also correct spelling to improve search results.  "Deadalus" has required many such corrections and I add code tags when missing but not always because it happens way too often. No notifications for doing that. Just hoping the user will pickup on it.

#215 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Vuu-do 5.03 (daedalus) New: with more legacy-firmware support » 2024-12-31 19:00:54

Isn't there a similar function on sourceforge that could be used??

#216 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Vuu-do 5.03 (daedalus) New: with more legacy-firmware support » 2024-12-31 17:26:31

That level of detail might be more suited to a personal blog over which you have complete control and also might reach a wider audience. wink

As to alterations to tidy things up . . . that would be something for ralph.ronnquist to take on if he chooses.  I havem't poked the backend of this forum in a very long time . . .

#217 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Vuu-do 5.03 (daedalus) New: with more legacy-firmware support » 2024-12-31 16:06:05

Perhaps think of your posts as announcements of a finished offering rather than a daily diary?

#218 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Sources.list hates me! » 2024-12-31 01:01:57

Spell "chimera" properly as "chimaera" and see if it makes a difference?

#219 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Heads » 2024-12-24 17:13:10

Last I heard, the heads developer had taken another path in life. I have not seen him on Devuan channels for quite a while. Feel free to fork heads and carry on . . .

#220 Re: News & Announcements » Merry Christmas » 2024-12-24 16:22:33

The winter solstice was a few says ago. That is something ALL of us can celebrate. Let there be light!   wink . .

Indeed! Winter solstice is happening right now. Will make it to US tomorrow morning. Rejoice that at least some things in the universe are predictable . . .

#223 Re: DIY » α-utilz -- a funky version of refractasnapshot/installer » 2024-12-17 21:22:26

@moulder61 . . . You can thank fsmithred for the refracta tools! IIRC, he took over that project from someone on the Debian forum long before systemd was a thing . . .

#224 Re: Documentation » How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire » 2024-12-15 17:50:52

@Altoid . . . You are definitely the grand-master of much ado about nothing and the point of your latest effort completely escapes me.  Plonk . . .

#225 Re: Documentation » How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire » 2024-12-15 15:34:28

Add me to that list! But then I don't use that function often and hardware is generic.
