@jwmkit I sent you an email regarding something recently.

But just in case you missed it:

https://codeberg.org/phranz/pactions

I wanted to know if you could make jwmkit_logout, to have these options built in to it:

disable crtl-alt-backspace
disable sysrq
disable vt-switching
lockscreen

you already have these:

logout, suspend, shutdown, poweroff

But I wondered if you could make those possible.

Also, if you don't want to make that a default, even if you could make that optional, that would be awesome.

This script I referenced uses yad. 

Or if this all sounds too complicated, can you modify that script to make it work in Hyperbola with any type of shell, not just bash, not require sudo, etc...

@goat I noticed one time once I plugged in the AC adapter it started up, so you are probably right.

I wonder if there is a  cure to make it much less annoying.

Is there a way to do this:

with openrc or runit?

Also without powertop too.

@mrnhmath fair enough, but yeah, I agree with unixman1230

#304 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-03-21 22:32:56

@quickfur the address joke was gold. Very amusing.

And your response to golinux about the groaners keep coming was even more gold.

@aluma funny thing is, its silent right now. Which is rare. It tends to happen when the computer is idle for a short while I think or is doing alot.

Although, its usually not this quiet.

Anyone know how to make this cpu whining noise disappear? I need a solution that works for Hyperbola, hence off topic.

I wondered if anyone has any solutions that they use for devuan that might work on Hyperbola.

if it requires systemd, dbus, pam, elogind, consolekit, which I doubt, then no.

But if it works for openrc, it might be useful for me.

Although, I use an old openrc, although its called hyperrc on the hyperbola website.

I have tried the thinkwiki guide, but it is useless for me. Exec Error  gets in my way.

Btw, the openrc used is version 28. just a heads up.

I am open though to other suggestions, acpid, lm_sensors, etc.

@siva I guess I could do that, not sure how, but its worth a try.

#308 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-03-14 23:44:39

Just to be clear @the-amnesiac-philospher

I was saying your comment was racy not that I necessarily agreed with you posting it.

;P

The person says, we need it to keep the monster happy, or it won't be locked up anymore. You know, the lock-ness tongue

this is not about devuan builds, but I wondered, x86 has a bios underneath the installed operating system, what does ARM have underneath the installed operating system?

I have been wondering if it has something like a bios where you can disable certain features.

Like for example, I don't like bluetooth because its a massive waste of electricity and its supposedly bad for the environment.

Anyone know?

@quickfur your last one was lame. But I have to admit, most of yours were pretty good in a decent punny way. smile

@LU344928 so... a  good summary for me from that, is that... its not just google that is not your friend, but also bloomberg and other corporate nonsense that is similar or worse.

Then again, I kind of guessed that long time ago...

#319 Re: Freedom Hacks » Securing my/our computer systems » 2024-02-29 23:44:50

@fanderal When you get another computer, I recommend either A:

novacustom or nitrokey

B: system76

or C: a computer with libreboot or coreboot that has me disabled.

Arkenfox disables a lot of garbage. Including that telemetry pocket crap for starters. smile

#320 Re: Freedom Hacks » Securing my/our computer systems » 2024-02-25 05:20:45

@glennW the coreboot + intel me disabled + ath9k wifi card thoughts should be more than sufficient for most.

The ath9k wifi card is if you don't want to depend on non-free software blobs in particular.

@stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn

I can't believe I, of all people am saying this, but this is so far from the topic that even I feel like I should say something LOL.

I don't condemn this, because I too am guilty of this, but just going to say, you know who might respond. wink

#324 Re: Devuan » Getting rid of "frankenstein" packages » 2024-02-24 22:29:59

Always remember not to mix debian repos with ubuntu repos, or similar. Repos that only have one or the other, are a different case if they are from unofficial repos, but still be careful of what depends get pulled in. big_smile

#325 Re: Off-topic » What is Google » 2024-02-24 22:25:51

I thought it was obvious what Google is...

They are surveillance capitalism personified at its worst. Similar to microsoft and others.

Actually, as an edit, they are as bad as microsoft. Not worse or better.

Although at least they support coreboot development even if for ulterior reasons.

Beyond that? Not much I can glean off of.
