@steve_v some of its good qualities exist in init programs like s6 or dinit.

I have in fact heard that was a purpose for s6, to do systemd on a lightweight level.

@trinidad who would want a headache waiting to happen?

That's what wayland is...

#3 Re: Devuan » Devuan without elogind » Today 08:12:53

Still better to have a piece of systemd as a dependency then the whole damn thing.

I think most on here would agree with that.

#4 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » Today 08:11:07

And as previously stated, @brocashelm,  palemoon can build without d-bus. I have done it many times big_smile

JWM is especially lightweight on cpu usage. So you missed one window manager. i3-wm and dwm are also light, but they are much more minimal and have less functionality then JWM.

JWM, has the bare minimum I need for it to work on par with DEs but while still using very little resources. big_smile

You really don't need much to run jwm.

I bet it could run on less cpu power than almost every other window manager with a taskbar.

#5 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » Yesterday 10:11:18

@greenjeans does keepassxc minimal still require dbus?

#6 Re: Freedom Hacks » UDisks2: Security Considerations » 2026-02-14 08:27:07

@brocashelm palemoon is buildable without dbus just so you know. I have done it many times before.

Yup.

Not sure about firefox and similar though.

#7 Re: Freedom Hacks » UDisks2: Security Considerations » 2026-02-14 08:24:49

@greenjeans When I bring up intelligence, i am also talking about if they have common sense, so nice try. tongue

Point being, common sense is lacking in USA.  Otherwise certain people wouldn't have power. right now or since 2016.

#8 Re: Freedom Hacks » UDisks2: Security Considerations » 2026-02-14 01:55:05

@greenjeans not everyone is that intelligent. In usa, I heard recently that half of the public has a fifth grade education... just insane.

If true, this is why security considerations are so important to the vast majority of people I think.

As for udisks, dbus and other redhat garbage, there is a HUGE reason that Hyperbola ditches so much of that crap.

Overengineered crap makes lots of vulnerabilities and really bad ones at that.

This is one of those times I think, good. I am glad Hyperbola ditched this crap in plain english.

@greenjeans hmmm I didn't even realize lol.

Welp, w/e.

#10 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-13 04:29:09

@greenjeans you made the 69th comment, congrats tongue

But yeah, I don't know what else to say beyond that for now.

#11 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-11 11:29:13

@greenjeans well thats good to know. So the video player isn't relevant for me then because it uses as much resources as mpv.

Good to know.

Although making an appimage would still be a good idea. Then non debian based distros can use it.

#12 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-09 23:10:03

@greenjeans I actually wonder how much cpu usage your video player uses compared to like mplayer or mpv.

Although it might not matter.

I was only curious.

Pity you can't make it compilable by source using making it compatible with my distro though.

Although, would a self contained appimage be possible? Or do you not know how to make one?

I wondered

#13 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-08 02:12:43

@greenjeans I don't see those ones in Hyperbola. Although something else might exist, not sure.

Its also possible they might have used to exist and I have them still, but I never deleted them. sorry I can't be much more helpful.

#15 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-06 03:51:56

@greenjeans I can't install the deb in Hyperbola. That's the whole thing I am trying to say...

#16 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-05 21:04:38

It compiled once I tried it but:

Error: Could not open database /home/user/.local/share/vsvp/vsvp_db

I got that error and whenever I load vsvp  and something peculiar  also happens

https://upload.disroot.org/r/teeZfv04#A … 7ZAznZawU=

This is very peculiar

#17 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-05 03:54:43

@greenjeans  I was actually speaking of  the source code at minimum or a PKGBUILD that would work in hyperbola gnu/linux-libre

If you could do one or the other that would help.

When I say source code I do mean like the tar.gz with instructions how to build.

#18 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-02 22:13:30

Would it be possible for you to make A PKGBUILD of that?

Also, does this application support sndio and alsa?

Just asking since the size interests me.

or even in source if possible too.

I do use Hyperbola though.

#19 Re: DIY » Qemu help » 2026-02-02 05:33:45

@ralph

It seems I found a way, I misunderstood what I was seeing on the search engine.

I tried typing in sendkey ctrl alt f1 or something like that in qemu part and it worked.

That was a result I saw, but I misunderstood the sendkey part. where that was.

#20 Re: Off-topic » I saw some opinions in a locked thread » 2026-02-02 05:25:13

@golinux something wrong with my post?

Are you not entertained?

hmm

and I just realized, we should all talk about opinions,

Like...

should we destroy all non-free hardware by DDOS.

Like here:

https://trisquel.info/en/forum/destroy- … e-software

Or should we try to sneak into Area 51 with a massive army from every possible angle and run full speed.

Or we could discuss wolf daemon's Liberal Derangement Syndrome!

OR WE COULD TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Lets try chatting about this!

How do I switch to control alt f1-f12 in a vm on qemu?

I keep searching online but the search results are pretty damn useless.

One thing that popups a lot is sendkey, but what is the linux sendkey?

What key on the keyboard is that?

I don't understand

#23 Re: Off-topic » Microsoft and encrypted data » 2026-01-24 19:13:48

Who in their right mind (and having but the most basic common sense) would entrust Microsoft (et alia) to keep their encryption keys safe?

No one with a well functioning brain

B: Be scorned by the normies as a "hacker", and either use free software/alternative technologies or (often illegally, if US law is to be believed) modify the usual offerings to not screw you over.

Its narcissistic for normies to think that way.

If hackers are smart, they will turn off any backdoors in their OS by any means necessary legal or illegal.

Thus, the whole aspect of prism becomes just a pointless thing to watch for dissent on innocent citizens and to detect dissent.

Honestly, I think that's the purpose of the pat-riot act and prism in general. All thus mass surveillance has nothing to do with catching crooks, its to monitor their innocent citizens to make sure they know what they are thinking so they can control dissent and/by any means needed.

The whole if you don't have anything to hide its not a problem is idiotic belief some hold.

Its destroyed the moment you tell them well then let me have all your accounts and their passwords so I can see what you are doing.

Nothing more than manipulative nonsense... honestly.

#24 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Behringer UMC204HD with Devuan Excalibur install and Alsa. » 2026-01-19 16:19:27

I had problems with alsa when I installed devuan Excalibur to be honest.

But, one caveat, if I installed sndio AND alsa-sndio from jwmkit's repo, it caused certain applications to no longer work such as web browsers and qemu.

The strange thing though is everything else worked with that combo.

Devuan Excalibur seems to have some problems with alsa

#25 Re: Other Issues » Looking for advice on VMs. » 2026-01-13 23:21:08

Uhh, why? An API translation layer that you could just run on the host, running in a VM and rendering to a virtualised GPU with no 3D acceleration... Were you trying to make things as slow as possible?

That seems to be obvious to me now
