@Altoid . . . A "bug report" is not necessarily a "bug". In the future before posting about a "bug" it might be a good idea to wait until it has been verified by the Devuan devs that it actually IS a bug. No need to spread unnecessary FUD on this forum . . . wink

Resolved: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … e0.en.html

I think you have missed the point that all current Devuan releases ship more
recent versions of OpenSSH than required by this test (6.7 or earlier):

openssh    | 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u2 | oldoldstable           | source
openssh    | 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u2 | oldoldstable-debug     | source
openssh    | 1:8.4p1-2~bpo10+1  | buster-backports       | source
openssh    | 1:8.4p1-2~bpo10+1  | buster-backports-debug | source
openssh    | 1:8.4p1-5+deb11u3  | oldstable              | source
openssh    | 1:8.4p1-5+deb11u3  | oldstable-debug        | source
openssh    | 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3  | stable                 | source
openssh    | 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3  | stable-debug           | source
openssh    | 1:9.8p1-8          | testing                | source
openssh    | 1:9.8p1-8          | unstable               | source
openssh    | 1:9.8p1-8          | unstable-debug         | source

-G is now a legitimate ssh option (see ssh(1)).

We have reviewed the article you provided and can find no evidence of compromise
of Devuan installations. It is also worth noting that all of Devuan's openssh
packages come directly from Debian, so it would likely be Debian that was
compromised.

I will close this report now, but if you feel we have misunderstood you or
missed something, please feel free to reopen.

Best wishes

Mark

Let that be the unanswered question . . .

Discussions are interesting when little is said but has much value/knowledge. Hot air just contributes to global warming . . .

Perhaps this forum would improve if the "Off Topic" option was mothballed for a while . . .

#407 Re: Off-topic » How are you guys quoting posts? » 2024-08-30 22:17:39

@ralph.ronnquist . . . You've been around here long enough to know the odds of that happening . . .   wink

#408 Re: Off-topic » How are you guys quoting posts? » 2024-08-30 17:05:29

Because less is preferable to more wink and perhaps the lack of a knee-jerk button will actually produce more thoughtful responses.

Order inevitably slides into chaos and then oblivion. Trying to micromanage just makes things worse. If users here are unable to quote specifically and intelligently that says more about our users than the software guiding them. And a software nanny is an inadequate tool to solve the problem.

#410 Re: Off-topic » How are you guys quoting posts? » 2024-08-29 17:32:43

Back-end or client-side bloat is never OK and full post quoting completely unnecessary.  Also I imagine that most folks here don't enable HTML email. I don' t on any of my accounts . . .

#414 Re: News & Announcements » Excalibur testing isos » 2024-08-26 20:48:37

Yes, that will be a welcome contribution, greenjeans! However, the installer isos are an essential option so imperative to have testing isos built weekly. Still waiting for that to happen . . .  sad

#415 Re: News & Announcements » Excalibur testing isos » 2024-08-26 20:24:40

Just for clarification of the topic of this tread . . . these are the isos that need to be rebuilt for weekly testing. The process is so far above my skill-set it gives me vertigo to look at that page!

#416 Re: Off-topic » Gratitude » 2024-08-24 17:40:01

So good to see you greenjeans! It is such a blessing that we can live so close to and communicate with what's left of the natural world. I am familiar with the spider/scorpion in the tub rescue operation but so few get into the house, I still have to capture them to relocate them outside. I sure wish it was so easy to deal with the mosquitoes and ants . . . big_smile

Don't be a stranger, greenjeans!

You may have noticed that currently no Excalibur testing isos are available.

As soon as someone from the Devuan community steps up to do the weekly builds, they will be available again.

Details here: https://files.devuan.org/devuan_excalib … aller-iso/

Perhaps this is YOUR chance to be a hero!

I hope that pulseaudio never becomes a depend. I have never used it and hopefully never will.

#421 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Strange window after start » 2024-08-18 00:18:17

@devujan . . . there are currently no excalibur testing isos because there is no one to build them . . . sad

#422 Re: Installation » Problems upgrading to Excalibur » 2024-08-17 15:37:52

Did you do the usrmerge before upgrading?

That's why I'm still safely on Chimaera until the dust settles . . .

#423 Re: Off-topic » Gratitude » 2024-08-15 20:31:02

For those who have an interest, the disappearing web mystery is solved!

I know exactly what happens.

You likely have a Neoscona crucifera spider. An orb weaver. we have one of these in the window behind my desk chair.

Every evening spidy weaves its web for its nightly catch. In the early morning she eats her web and crawls up into some safe spot to spend the day.

I suspect I know where spidy is hiding but don't want to disturb her.

#424 Re: Off-topic » Gratitude » 2024-08-13 21:08:51

That may or may not be true. The spider may only have missed the appetizer . . . smile

I have a spider - don't know what kind but it is really fat - that has been building a web across and blocking my front door every night for most of the summer. I never see what it is catching because every morning when I get up the web has disappeared and there is no sign of its maker.  But by 11-12:00 at night, it is back. Not a problem for me because I never go out after dark. I also have bunnies in the yard that don't flinch even when I walk very close to them. They just keep chomping on the various native grasses. I've also had sparrows nest on my front porch. Always happy to provide protection from wind, rain and predators.

This arrived today from a good friend who lives in a wildlife sanctuary. The world would be a better place with more compassion like this. Brought tears to my eyes . . .

Yesterday I rescued a daddy long legs (DDL) from the argiope aurantia spider's web outside the kitchen window. I carefully picked off the pieces of sticky web stuck on its incredibly fragile legs.

When it was free, instead of hurrying away like every other DLL I've ever encountered this one stretched out along my finger and held on, caressing my finger.

After a few minutes I gently pried it over to a coil of rope on the side of the house.

I've never experienced such gratitude from a small 'bug' actually a form of arachnid, before. Other DDLs I rescue  just stagger away. This one may have seen my eyes through the optivisor I was wearing while I de-webbed it.

Sentience.
