Where can Devuan be found in the original fediverse?

If not done already, please let Gmane or Gwene forward the mailing lists to NNTP.

... and mention them e.g. here.

Do you watch the why files ?

Only when it is necessary for a reply.

Technology in the mainstream is usually lagging behind anything the 3 letter agencies already have.

War always has been the driving factor in development of technology.

The cost finally will be to lose humanity by either converging with technology to transhumans or by being replaced by AI.  This will solve no problems, as transhumans and/or "AI life" still will need to compete for resources and so I'm heavily convinced that only war will be the permanent survivor, just the players on the battlefield of life will get upgraded sometimes.

It is on YT under the "Robert Miles AI Safety" channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ziuPUeewK0

Compare the URLs and you'll see why I did not mention it.  ;-)

But now for something not completely dfferent:

Some interesting/scary things can happen when ChatGPT plays with copies of itself.
And I bet we'll see commercial products based on such faster than this gets safe/stable.

#14 Re: Off-topic » What do you think about electric cars? » 2024-03-06 10:27:17

I've no problem with the "electric" in general, but I'd have no power line near my parking space and using public charging stations just would increase the ankle bracelet function of these modern spy-phones on wheels.

The Y2014 model I currently have probably is the last one I can get without the now mandatory call home function on emergencies/crashes which I do not trust to only phone home then.  It even has only a classic radio instead of an android media centre!  And with only needing to see a gas station 4..5 times a year, a switch to something different just does not calculate for me.  Luckily!

May it last long and meanwhile: Public transport please improve!

Ok ... I'm pro electric, but I claim you just can't get such a thing without being permanently traced.

32bit systems are still supported by the BSDs & Haiku, so they don't need to be thrown out just yet......

Nope!

FreeBSD and OpenBSD already announced turning i386 into a 2nd class citizen too.

And with all this steam lining for commerce, it'll be only a question of time until they declare ARM32bitters to trash too?

HaikuOS is a Do-Everything-As-Root-OS, so definitely not a wise choice except inside a really secure LAN.

NetBSD remains.

I think that's too optimistic.
I want to be proven wrong.
I will not bet on this to happen.

Why turn them into trash?
I've Devuan on a Netbook.

FreeBSD and OpenBSD announced to treat 32bit PCs as 2nd class architectures too.
Great times for NetBSD... :-Þ

For a while now doas has got persist added on Linux too, so I see no reason any more not to use it.

I'm using https://github.com/nutta-git/bash-compl … tions/doas and so far it behaves as expected:

~$ doas aptitude --<tab><tab>
