@fungus . . . possibly PEBKAC?

I thought that could be done with pinning. Search for "downgrade" on this forum and the botbot logs for irc freenode #devuan.

#2754 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Installing Musescore 2.1 AppImage on Miyo i3 Jessie 64bit. » 2018-01-11 09:01:25
This brings up the issue of Flatpaks as an alternative to AppImages. Is it possible to use Flatpaks and ensure that systemd stays off my system?
A two minute search found this:
Is Flatpak tied to systemd?
No. Versions of flatpak before 0.6.10 relied on systemd for cgroups setup, but this is no longer required.]
However, this is not so encouraging - guilty by association:
Its lead developer is Alex Larsson, Principal Engineer at Red Hat.

Perhaps it's my warped sense of humor, but your literal and hardline stance cracks me up.
Awwwww . . . that's sweet.
I think I'll stay away from any more Buddhism stuff, because I'm not Buddhicipherous enough to know what's what.
You have a lot of company. 
Please don't take it personally . . .
Perhaps you want to move on to mushroom humor?

No need to apologize. Most Buddhists in the West make it up as they go along. It's really rather pathetic. But what makes you think that TM has any relevance to yoga either?
Why do seagulls fly over the sea?
Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be bagels.
I looked at this for several minutes before I realized - baygulls. I am a diehard literalist.
What do you call a Texas Buddhist's mantra?
OM on the range.
FYI, mantras are a cultural appendage to Buddhism not Buddhism.
Happy to see you finally got the TM stuff right.

#2763 Re: Installation » [CLOSED] <Ascii> Minimal Install - OB - Issues » 2018-01-02 22:22:26
I wasn't aware that a Devuan ascii .iso existed yet. I aways install the jessie base system, upgrade it to ascii, remove obsolete packages from the upgrade, and then start building from there.
Yes, there are no official ascii isos yet but fsmithred has a few unofficial isos floating around. I personally ran into issues with the eth0 device naming thing recently on one of those so will have to redo as an upgrade from jessie.

Hey, Miyo . . . what a great video! Loved the music (tho a little dramatic) and your ever-present sense of humor. i3 looks interesting. Might try it if I weren't snowed under theming ascii etc.

Is OpenRC even available in jessie? It has only been worked on in ascii afaik.
#2772 Re: Other Issues » Visual impairment » 2017-12-21 18:00:38
Look at KatolaZ' minimal live isos. He worked with the speakup community to make it accessible. This from his website:
A very special thanks goes to Gregory Nowak, Parham Doustdar, Jude DaShiell, John G Heim, Rob, and all the people in the Linux-speakup mailing list (http://www.linux-speakup.org/) for their encouragement and support, and for providing invaluable feedback about accessibility. Without their help, I couldn't have seen what was needed in order to make the minimal live images easier to use for visually-impaired users.
The isos are available from files.devuan.org.

#2774 Re: Devuan » Considering migration from a different distribution. » 2017-12-21 10:10:13
I can only answer one of your questions.
Is there a way to install directly Beowulf or Ceres (without systemd of course), or must I start from the base and do upgrades stages by stage ?
Currently there are only 'official' install images for Devuan Jessie. There are 'unofficial' images for Ascii but official ones will be coming soon. Beowulf will not be available until after the Ascii release and then only by upgrade or unofficial isos until Beowulf 3.0 released.
#2775 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Frequent indexing thrashes HDD » 2017-12-21 06:27:36
Thanks to fsmithred, I found the culprit with top - tumblerd! I work with a lot of graphics and video (not so much these days) and that app creates image icons. fsr confirmed that it "causes some serious thrashing". If I can ever get the theming for ascii finished, I'll do some reading about how to deal with it - SP produced plenty of reading.
