When I looked I didn't see anything. But that was a while ago and I never thought to look again. Will do next time it happens. (If I can remember LOL!)
I really, REALLY don't like to reboot my PC. Thankfully, suspend works well on Devuan Jessie. Very fast going down and coming back up (except for eth0 which takes a few seconds to find).
But every so often it goes into a spontaneous reboot accompanied by rapid system beeps when waking up. I usually use the spacebar to wake up but it seems any key will do the trick. Is there a specific key I should be using? Last failure, I had resumed with a key other than spacebar (not paying close attention) and the next time I used the spacebar, it rebooted. I only have 4 gb ram but only about half of that is ever used so can't imagine that is the problem.
figosdev has also observed this behavior but can't remember whether he's on a PC or lappy.
Thoughts anyone?

Just to let you know that dev1galaxy has another communication venue. You can find us on freenode #d1g-users. Not much going on there yet but for a possibly quick answer, give it a try.
It looks like we have indeed foiled the spammers! Not a one got through while I was sleeping!! Now let's get on with building this community and sharing our collective knowledge of Linux and Devuan.
Nice to have you here FOSSuser!
I think the onslaught may be over!! The newly installed mod seems to be preventing bot registrations. Not one has come through in the last 30 minutes! Keeping fingers crossed . . .

Yes, Oldmoss . . . you are right about those three. I'm watching them.
Good news is that we just got a mod installed to prevent bot registrations and it seems to be working.
Apologies to everyone for the drama. We can all have a good laugh now . . . ![]()
Thanks, Oldmoss . . . Unfortunately, picking off spam once it's on the board isn't the solution. We need a spam prevention mod installed to deter spammers at registration. That requires sys admin skills which I am lacking and I've been Linuxing for over 10 years! Appreciate the offer though . . .
Hmmm . . . looks like someone on the team cleared out some of the cruft. Guess I'll go in and take care of the rest of it.
In less than 12 hours nearly 400 spammers have either newly registered or are waiting to be verified. Hunker down folks. It's a comin' . . .
I have been manually deleting spam and spam registrations since this board went live . . . hundreds every day. I've reached my limit. If the backend can't get it together to deal with it at the source, let the tsunami come! If anyone wants to help with stemming the tide at the source (not just spam hunting), shoot me an email. I probably won't be here much because it would be too distressing to see where this is headed. No need to report spam because no one will be here to do anything about it. It seemed like a good idea at the time . . .

Malinas . . . we're working on that. We've only had about half a dozen spam posts since we went online because we're nuking spam registrations with a fury! The registration process will be upgraded hopefully soon.
Nice to see you here Pick2 and thanks for the offer. To date there hasn't been much spam on the board itself. Just registrations that are known spammers and those with spam in their signatures. You will be enlisted when needed!!
Hello Users!
The Dev1Galaxy Admin collective salutes you!
Last night we culled hundreds of bot/spam registrations from the DB. In the coming days we plan on introducing some light, albeit effective, anti-spam measures - mainly the introduction of a registration question - which shouldn't affect anyone currently registered and shouldn't be too annoying for those who have yet to register. This new registration procedure will be combined with periodic purges of our database to keep the board in good order.
One or two of you might find your account missing. If you find your account was accidentally deleted during this purge, or any in the future, please contact sapein@darknedgy.net as soon as possible after deletion. You must include the following:
- The Username of the Account.
- The date you noticed it was deleted on.
- The registration date.
- The email you registered with.
- The password of the deleted account.
Some of the details will be used to verify the account that belonged to you, and some of it will be used to regenerate the account. Please note that it is best to contact us within a day or so after it is deleted to allow us to identify the account in our backups so we can restore it more easily and quickly.
For those who accidentally lost their account . . . we hope everyone understands and apologize for the inconvience.
Signed,
The Dev1Galaxy Admin collective
I just got bit by this. Yes, there should be a grace period during which users can correct typos etc. Will see if there is an option to allow for that.
@xunilog . . . As per your request please see: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=135#p135 New theme is Purpylite. I hope it suits your needs.
As per @xunilog's request, I have added a Purpylite skin to the available themes. The code boxes in that theme are now dark font on light gray. Feedback welcome!

Excellent suggestions (as always).
@iamwhatiam . . . Perhaps you could open an issue in git here https://git.devuan.org/devuan/devuan-project/issues
Good news!
Welcome everybody!
