Kid 1: How do you spell "wrong"?
Kid 2: R-O-N-G.
Kid 1: No, that's wrong.
Kid 2: No, it's right because I spelled wrong!

Roman numerals are difficult; but when you get to 159, it just CLIX!

So are staircases. They're always up to something!

A piece of toast is a lot like the sun. It rises in the yeast, and settles in the waist.

Did you know that in Israel the biggest ant always takes the lead in the ant colony?  That's because it's the Aleph ant.

I checked out your Help Devuan link, but didn't see anything specific that I might be able to help with. No bugs to report, not sure how exactly one might contribute packages or host a mirror.  Would be nice if there was a constantly updated page detailing the highest priority items to be done, and how exactly to get started on it.

I do try to answer questions on this forum when I can, but generally my environment is so radically different from most people's that I'm rarely able to actually help.

Posting jokes is low-effort whereas actually contributing takes a little more effort. 😢

Why did the train go off the rails?

Because it had a loco motive...

A couple is at the counselor's office seeking help with their marriage problems.

Counselor: Can you describe your situation?
Husband: Well, we were happy for 25 years...
Counselor: Then what happened?
Wife: Then we met.

🤦

Did you read the new novel about the hurricane and the tornado?  The story ends with a twist!

See, this is the crux of the problem: most people don't care about securing their WiFi router because that takes effort. And when something takes effort, the incentive is to do nothing except the default. Which will be insecure, because secure by default also means inconvenience, and manufacturers want maximum convenience in order to make more sales.

In the old days it took effort to hook up a device for online access. These days every toaster and its manufacturer's cool gadget actively want to be hooked up, with their corresponding apps automating most of the setup process. Why do people install these apps? Why do they agree to enter the WiFi password to connect the device online? Because part of the "cool features" of the IoT device they just splurged on depends on it. And nobody's gonna want to not use features they just ostensibly spent money on. So they will gladly enter Wi-Fi passwords for devices that they don't even know why it needs to have online access, because doing so lets them oh so cool control the gadget from their phones oh yeah!

Me, I'd never purchase anything that asks for online access that doesn't need to be. Nor input any password to some dumb device that I'm not confident doesn't have a ton of unpatched security holes from who knows how many years ago. But guess what's the percentage of the population that I represent?  Probably some infinitesimal number. 😆 Nobody but geeks like us even know what the issue is, let alone care enough to do something about it. 99.9% of the world is insecure by default. Ignorance and apathy will be humanity's downfall, but who cares? 🤣

Anyway none of this really actually matters in this conversation. The only reason I brought this up was to point out the futility of this or that privacy concern while losing sight of the larger context of things.  Security or privacy in isolation means nothing. You're just plugging one hole in a cheese grater. You need to consider the entire picture, instead of focusing on just one small point while so many other things defeat your purpose even before you began.

Yes it was a tpyo. 😉

I fixed it, but I guess a little too late. As Calvin once said, verbing weirds language. 🤣
