I would like to have peace . . .
"Peace" is not 'out there' and dependent on someone else's actions. Let criticism roll off like water on a duck's back . . .
I wish I could unsee that . . .
@KnightTemplar . . . You can find details about using and configuring Refracta at https://refracta.org/ ;
@ alphalpha . . . Yes, FluxBB is a good fit for Devuan. The software was old even when it was first installed. I have no idea if there have been any "official" updates since then but there have been some custom modifications. Here's the story of how we got to FluxBB . . .
Devuan's first forum was Discourse. It was not very well received by Devuan users. So I created and self-hosted Dev1Galaxy as the "The Officially Unofficial Devuan Forum!" alternative. Two or so years later, Discourse was mothballed and Dev1Galaxy became the "Officially Official Devuan Forum!".
As long as it works, why would there be any reason to change it? SNS is not exactly Devuan's style . . .
hunter0one . . . Welcome to Devuan! You might find this documentation a good place to start:

Anubis is a pain but those bots!
@KnightTemplar . . . Welcome aboard the freedom train!
Note that the "The Joke Thread" was only temporarily "locked". I just pushed some "buttons" and the "pigeons" pecked at the bait. How very Pavlovian of them! It was a fun gotcha!!
To put that comment into context please see this thread I can't believe you closed the Joke thread:
Note that this is a rewrite of my previous post here which suffered from my foggy memory . . .
Note that "The Joke Thread" has been unblocked since 2025-02-27. I was rather surprised that no one figured that out. Then a new user unaware of the history gave it a try and brought it back to life.
As long as "The Joke Thread" does not become the most active one day after day like it has in the past, it will remain open.
All things in moderation . . .
Please take a deep breath and stop poking at each other . . .
This is the first I've heard about this patch . . . that I can remember. Perhaps someone will test it in Devuan and make it available for Devuan. Possibly you?
It seems that the problem was in pulseaudio.
Repeated for truth! It has always been so from day one!
Here's a history lesson regarding this forum to explain to Non_Woke_Linux_User and other newcomers how I became an admin here . . .
Devuan's first forum was Discourse. It was not very well received by Devuan users. So I created and self-hosted Dev1Galaxy as the "The Officially Unofficial Devuan Forum!" alternative. Two or so years later, Discourse was mothballed and Dev1Galaxy became the "Officially Official Devuan Forum!".
Let this be a reminder that the fantasies we dream up in our head most often have little to do with reality!
+1000 to IgnorantGuru!!! I can't count how many times I have shared his "gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes" since it was written. Those of us who were paying attention could see the steamroller coming . . .
Social media is my guess . . .
Good grief . . . that is one sick puppy! I'm sooo happy in my cave!
I don't know how you became an administrator here, it's amazing!
Perhaps you will learn, grasshopper . . .
Contemplating physical, verbal and/or mental actions before executing them usually avoids situations like this. Your problem is YOUR doing! You are fun to play with!!
Why not ask "God"?
Welcome to paradise erm Devuan! AFAIK, no one in this camp has experimented with XLibre. Perhaps you would like to lead the testing and adaptation of XLibre for Devuan?
Good find! Sounds like they want to stop the bleeding from (yet another) bone-headed decision! They sure are slow learners in that camp . . .
@steve_v . . . Thanks for that excellent assessment. I do hope that SOMEONE will step up to provide an XLibre option for Devuan so that I can avoid Wayland for the remainder of my days. Sadly, the task is way above my pay grade . . .
Anecdote: Over a decade ago and before systemd made its formal entrance on Debian, I went several rounds with Michael Biebl (and others) on the debian-user mail list and nearly got banned. Shortly thereafter, I surrendered to the immovable reality and never posted there again . . .
@yurimodin . . . You are a little late to the party but at least you finally figured it out! systemd is a ball and chain of servitude and blind obedience . . .
But then you've got your entire life on that little device where ever you go and can potentially lose it and control of your life right along with it.
Not to worry . . . There is a solution for some of that. It's not easy to "lose" a tiny sub-dermal chip containing all your important personal info!
Note that a voip connection is still working for me on an ancient set of Panasonic phones that a friend handed down to me over a decade ago. My "emergency" cell phone has the battery removed and I have no idea if it would still work to make a 911 emergency call which is why I bought it a very long time ago.
@greenjeans . . . Your wish has been granted.
