hmm...

huh...

I may just need to talk to one of my hyperbola buddies, he seems to know how to do stuff like this, I reckon I will have to wait for him.

Perhaps this is too complicated for me on my own... oh well...

I was going to build with ./mach package after build succeeded, but oh well.

Edit: I guess I should have had the title say from Devuan. That was more what I meant...

"Look in the debian directory inside the firefox-esr source, the browser.mozconfig.in file is the one you want."

I had thought that as well, but it still seems to not pass on my changes, which is very weird imo.

That is good, but tell me something, how the hell do I get the ./mach build to use the mozconfig changes I made?

It keeps doing the same old crap, no matter what I do.

It effectively acts like I changed nothing! Its kind of infuriating...

Very much so...

I mean, all I want is to do things a specific way, and to compile with less than 4 cores, and the damn thing refuses to accept my config for building.

This is my mozconfig in, browser/config/mozconfig

It feels almost like the devuan/debian build is meant to sabotage modifications... unless I am mistaken...

but yeah, its annoying.

I think you probably have some idea of this already, but yeah I was in fact doing this to make it usable with Hyperbola, but I am curious which glibc would be required to make it work wherever...

Quick note though what about the other part I mentioned, the arkenfox part? its basically a way of disabling a lot of firefox bs that is enabled by default.

Also, I wondered if glibc required is too new, is there a way to fix that as well?

I could post a screenshot, but I would have to reboot to get a good idea of how much is actually consumed.  then go into a terminal and type in free -m

I am using 64 bit, so no worries there.

https://codeberg.org/jwmkit

I recommend checking the consumption for yourself though, RAM is used more on machines with more RAM.

So what I mean I guess is, I have 16GB RAM on this laptop. Well on my comp with 8GB it uses less of the RAM.

Andyprough can correct me if he wants, but I think he said it used like somewhere from 60-70 megabytes to use it, even with jwmkit.

Or maybe jwmkit said that? anywho, it uses less the dwm according to Andyprough for sure. I recall he said that on a forum.

On boot though, it uses less than 70mb for me though for my 16GB T430 with coreboot + me cleaner.

I can reboot to check if you are interested. I will do so now...

Interesting... It seems on one of my laptops its like 110mb total usage including jwm being used. That one has Hyperbola though, 16gb or not. I will try my devuan one and see what that shows.

Here is a picture of it, https://upload.disroot.org/r/KhKbZ0Vd#3 … I4v3+DbPs=

just download it to see it.

Btw, I looked and Hyperbola uses 89mb without any wm/DE.

so that means... 21mb for jwm? insane... it has 16gb of ram so I didn't expect this lol.

I will check devuan now.

Fascinating... it uses 141mb on Devuan ceres...
https://upload.disroot.org/r/t6xNspMs#U … 2o+y6X8Ic=

Without a wm it uses close to that number.  Anywho, those links seem to indicate to me, that JWM is ultra lightweight. Anywho, that's all folks!

Except I should mention I am using 5.15.xx linux-libre kernel on the devuan laptop and 5.10.xx on the hyperbola one.

  just a heads up!

I am going to have to disagree, chromium, iridium, firefox regular, firefox esr, all are shitty browsers. 

Librewolf, ungoogled-chromium are much better than their counterparts. 

Just curious, but were you trolling or serious?

I can't figure it out at the moment.

EDIT: I see what you mean about ungoogled-chromium in later posts, still think that librewolf is way better than the rest.

That is ironic, but I wonder which has the more secure version...

No offense, but OpenBSD devs probably are more security conscious...

You have perked my curiosity, what do you need opencl for and/or the proprietary blob for? I am curious.

If you don't want or feel like telling me though, feel free to tell me.

It just sounds odd to me, given that those blobs are like mystery software.

Minimalism isn't always pretentious, it depends on what you need and what you want from software whether it be a DE, WM, or what an OS is in general.

To be honest, if Devuan is more then a systemd protest distro, I guess I would've thought it would be fighting more the redhat nonsense...

Not trying to be critical, just sayin, systemd is not the only problem plaguing the linux atmosphere.

Aka, not just systemd, but also, at bare minimum, pulseaudio, networkmanager, wayland as well as systemd. The reason I don't use it as my main OS, is because of that and dbus as well as openssl and java. So meh... to each their own.

I should mention though, a dev I know looked at the dbus code even found in powerkit the application used with draco desktop, fingerprints your hardware...

I have no idea why that is even needed... or what they do with it. Aye...

Also, I don't care about DE's. WMs for the win man!

I do still have a Devuan VM in case I need it though. I noticed that chimaera has security, updates and regular repos.  I am guessing that means Devuan's newest version is coming out before the end of the year.  Or sooner, not sure which.

But yeah, I would be careful about trusting Debian again till they stop feeding on Redhat's ideas so much.

I don't know, as long as trolls don't get cruel and evil, I enjoy feeding them sometimes...

If they like to be nonsensical or spamlike, I enjoy watching and laughing.

Hevidevi, if it doesn't work, you can PM me, also, if you want FDE with or without /boot encrypted, ask me that in a PM.

Peace!

Yeah, you can bypass that actually, set SigLevel to never.

Its no big deal.
