Real good marketing ploy . . . exposing your own user base as supposed idiots. That makes the "jokers" the idiots.

Okay, I'm done. Now tell that to Head_on_a_Stick who keeps insulting people.

I reckon the Devuan devs just didn't think anybody would be stupid enough to think the joke was real.
Making your own website looked hacked, that's the real stupidity.

How would you feel if your bank said "we were hacked today etc..." then announced just kidding a day later. Your Dr. says, you have cancer...nah just yanking your chain.There comes a time when people need to grow up, its not about being frat boys and sorority girls anymore. The dev's need to stop hiding behind some false hacker ethos to shrug off poor judgement. Big difference between honest mistakes and poor judgement.
Nicely put. And so true.

Saying 1 + 1 = 3 is human error. What this guy(s) did was just plain stupid. If I were in charge, he'd be gone.

I thought the joke/page display was done internally, by a Devuan admin, as a joke.
Well, that's what I thought also. Can somebody who knows what happened please inform the rest of us on the whole story, joke, or whatever it was?

I though it was an awesome joke, the more so for all the people it apparently fooled lol
So fooling people that use your product is "awesome"? That's just plain stupid. Yes, I'm angry over this. It didn't cost me work time, it cost me some time from my time off of work. There's a good reason why people and businesses that put out products for a profit don't fool their customers. This "joke" was not smart.

That's right. It's a joke.
Making your own website look like it was hacked is not a joke. I wonder how many people it made wonder if their system or browser was compromised after visiting this "joke"? Not funny and may cost Devuan current and future users.
#359 Re: Devuan » What happened at devuan.org? » 2019-04-01 17:37:47
This was not harmless humor. I'd still like to know who did this, and how high up the Devuan food-chain they are. Making your own website look like it was hacked? How stupid can you get? If people don't take Devuan seriously, it looks like now they got a reason. Way to go.
P.S. I really do want to know how high this person is on the Devuan food-chain. The higher up they are, the dumber this "joke" was. 
#360 Re: Devuan » What happened at devuan.org? » 2019-04-01 03:42:40
Really? Someone with Devuan did this? Unbelievable!

This is bad publicity for Devuan. How did this happen? A weak password or something?

Ron, I just read this on SlashDot:"I just looked at the source for the page. It's static HTML with the ASCII art defacement poster enclosed in [pre] tags. There isn't any code there with which one could conceivably conduct an attack."
Can you give me a link to that? All I found was this: https://idle.slashdot.org/story/19/03/3 … pher-urls#
EDIT
Never mind, I see the quote at the bottom of the page I linked.
#364 Re: Devuan » What happened at devuan.org? » 2019-03-31 22:12:01
So for those of us who visited the hacked site, do we need to be concerned about a compromised system/browser?

Here's a link with probably thousands (yeah, thousands) of legacy (so-called) add-ons. I would guess that a high majority will work in Pale Moon.
Hope some will find this link useful.
#367 Re: Off-topic » Life after Firefox » 2019-03-25 16:04:43
I have been happily using Pale Moon for the last 6 or 7 years (started with it while on Windows), and have Basilisk as a backup. There are no other browsers out there (right now) for me, except maybe Waterfox if I had to.
#368 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Avidemux and h264enc » 2019-03-19 01:24:55
This is also off topic . . .
When I tried avidemux (it may have been twice, my memory isn't as good anymore) it was so buggy I got rid of it.
#369 Re: Installation » Installing devuan without pulseaudio. » 2019-02-02 21:04:17
Thanks for the info, MiyoLinux. So at risk of hijacking this thread, will future releases of Miyo-Openbox (or Awesome) continue to not include pulseaudio?
#370 Re: Installation » Installing devuan without pulseaudio. » 2019-02-02 15:45:38
Does Miyo have pulseaudio already removed? It's not installed on my system and I don't remember removing it.

Upload your screenshot to an image site (such as imgur) and put the link inside of
[img][/img]tags. Your link should end in an image format, such as .jpg.

Check out the Trinity desktop. It is a fork of KDE version 3.

#375 Re: Other Issues » Update for libsystemd0 » 2019-01-14 22:37:06
Thanks for that link. I have read that in the past. I forgot it was a sticky. So I gather from the sticky that libsystemd0 does nothing. So in that case I guess it doesn't matter if I update it or not? Is that correct?
Is it okay to delete this file? (Sorry if this is a thick-headed question)
