Yea but biologically and evolutionarily, we ought to have kids and stuff. Love is not permanent either.

I play older games such as Skyrim Special Edition, or ETS2 anyway. Or Doom Eternal, Civ5-6 sometimes. These games won't benefit from Archlinux or anything.

Or y'all are just single? I've recently broke up with my gf and it feels like hell. It feels like I won't find someone as special as her. We can't be together anymore either way. Not even using my systemd free Devuan won't soothe my pain. What distro would soothe me anyway?

#29 Devuan » Why sysvinit can't create init scripts by itself? » 2025-02-07 12:58:51

It seems easy enough. For example I created a tailscaled sysvinit startup script. I made it with chatgpt. It worked. I checked the code, it seems very easy actually. Why doesn't sysvinit doesn't create those things automatically? We don't even need chatgpt. Just pull in the given program's paths and various data, and put them in together. I would do that with gawk probably.

#30 Re: Devuan » Debian looking to integrate systemd-boot » 2025-01-25 20:14:21

Systemd-boot wasn't really related to systemd at all. Like ever. It was gummiboot, then they related it with systemd, dunno why. It's just a bootloader god dammit. Leave it alone.

Did anyone manage to make it working? It gives errors about some dbus thing. I think systemd supports this, but sysvinit doesn't. I thought maybe for laptops this might be better than TLP, i dunno is TLP still relevant? Does anyone use Devuan and laptop and compare it to Debian?

#34 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] MAC address changes every reboot » 2024-11-29 00:19:08

I solved it by adding this to /etc/network/interfaces:

hwaddress ether my_mac_address #this line here

This is just bare debian no GUI install, this is a NAS device so no desktop. I haven't done anything weird, however I migrated from debian to devuan lately. This happened after I did it.
About DHCP, in router settings I do set static lease for this NAS. But since it changes mac every time, it won't work.

#38 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Release file is not valid » 2024-11-11 23:08:02

Sorry, turns out time is set to some 2000 year. This was the problem. Probably caused by a dead BIOS battery inside the device. If it has any.

I don't want this, I do DHCP leases based on MAC, and it changes every time. How to prevent this? The device is Seagate Personal Cloud, armhf NAS device.

Seagate Personal Cloud (1-BAY version) works pretty well on devuan. I'd say extremely faster than debian too. Because when I SSH to that box while on debian, it'd take around 2 seconds to respond. Now it's instant. Thank you guys.
I used debian's wiki first:
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebia … sonalCloud

Then to migrate, best do all these commands on screen session to be safe:
https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation … o-daedalus

I'd probably use devuan's initrd images to install devuan directly, but I installed debian first.

In debian tailscale works without this. But on devuan it didn't. So I searched for an initscript file. I found this out of github. How is it:

#45 Installation » Migrated Seagate Personal Cloud running Debian 12 to Devuan,it's fast! » 2024-10-27 17:33:26

This device is armhf, is armhf well supported? It's an already slow device, I didn't want to slow it further with debian 12.

I did it over ssh, but in a screen. Thought if I lose connection I'd lose the device.
So it works!

By the way does anyone have running tailscale exit-node on devuan? Any of you have a script?

Edit: Wow it works fast! On debian when I ssh to it waits for 3 seconds to connect. Now it takes 0.5 seconds.

I tried os-prober and all. Nothing works. I would write my manual grub entry for windows 10, but I forgot how. I did it before. But why it doesn't work automatically though? On debian it worked?

Nuclear energy is actually green energy, if you do it right. I think there is next gen energy tech, which is called fusion, or fision reactors? I don't know, but China was working on it lately. It is much much more efficient they say.
