I just meant that for me "cracker" is a racist term for Caucasian people and that's why I used the inaccurate "hacker" term instead.
EDIT: reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_( … tive_usage
Bullshit.

Yes, I'm aware that I used the terminology incorrectly but only because to me a "cracker" is exactly what Panopticon's quote describes so I just used the lazy, inaccurate term.
@Ron: grow a thicker skin, perhaps? I was observing rather than insulting. But whatever.
And I don't think the Devuan developers are in this for the money so "marketing" isn't really relevant here.
Dont put words in my mouth, i never described anything.
Also some here need to be reminded what a hacker is and what a cracker is, and no a cracker is not that white skinned person in a black skinned neighborhood!
I remember being on windows and getting pretty badly pwned years ago, some websites visited would completely takeover your windows, that was not cool. Especially when trying to see nudes of Elisabeth Hurley or Uma Thurman lmao!! Damn green hat hackers...
I dont see the point in spotify, most music available on spotify is on youtube, but im old school and like to purchase albums and hard copies where i can if i really like the music. youtube-dl and keep your music on a portable local drive, save bandwidth too. I have a plan where i can bank unused data for the next month so every byte counts.
^ I was of the thought 32bit i386 meant you could only use upto 3GB of ram and no more? But i may be referencing old Windblows systems back ten or more years ago when i had 4 GB of memory and it would not use all of it or would not show up.
^ navigation to the net install iso might be confusing? There is only two iso's, amd64 and i386 (32bit and 64bit). For that system looks maybe 64 bit.
Random mirror....
^ had there been a big clickable link to the main page / workable site in that pwned html it may have alleviated some concern, maybe. Site wide prank probably not a good idea.
Yeah im with you there Lysander, maybe a bit more subtle in future. Also i think users should give benefit of the doubt for the prank, im pretty sure no harm was meant for it and i bet they are very sorry, this shouldn't be a reason to give up on Devuan and jump ship to some other gnu linux, they do good work.
After reading those dyne messages i didnt realise how serious some members took this. From my point of view i knew instantly it was a joke but if people have their fingers on kill switches then that would be a rather serious security concern. Maybe something a little less concerning for next years april fools. I like what void linux did, its no longer available to see but they made their homepage look like arch linux with the A for Arch upside down so it looked like a V for Void linux!

Wow, is there some real butt hurt in this thread ? or am i reading this wrong and could be just sarcasm? You know what they say about sarcasm, lowest form of wit!

^ @ HOAS, Yes and also dubious yandex-disk, think about it....
^ yes because it is proprietary software, hint hint ? If you cant build the program from source why in hell would you want to flatpack or snap it?
Leave the flatpak and snapd packages alone i say, if its not in the devuan repos, try a source build as yeti mentioned.
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.
Ive been sticking with palemoon too, probably about 2 years now. Only thing its not very good at is putting up with google maps so i switched to whereis.com maps and it handles it nicely. Many of the old legacy plugins in are available in palemoon too. I keep palemoon in a firejail for a bit of added security. Waterfox is a backup i have if needed.
Thanks again fsmithred. I managed to get tor-browser to work. My issue was i was using sourceforge, forgot about that. Anyhow after doing the correct method from the tor website using gpg recv all went well.
would reftacta-snapshot and refracta-installer work if one were to go into heads live and modify the apt sources list and install these into the system then refracta onto another usb? Probably hit a few errors i imagine not being a system that is able to be installed.
thanks fsmithred, i suppose it is what it is, in that regards. Ill give the live sdk / config a try. Basically just wanted to install a few apps that heads doesn't have and keep browser book marks and offline pages/docs to read but i suppose one could load them onto another usb or mount an internal data partition and keep offline docs there. Thanks for the info.
@ chris, due to the massacre in christchurch, NZ and Australian isp's decided to block some websites that had links and or were hosting the gunmans live stream, but facebook the platform that livestreamed it stayed up. Anyhow must have been only a temporary ban for zero hedge as is it now back up, they have banned 8chan, liveleak and bitchute as well but ive only ever visted liveleak a few times in the past, the others i didnt know existed. Ill try the nameserver thing next time and im sure there is going to be a lot of next times in the foreseeable future.
@ stan, the tor browser launcher is in the repos but in testing/Beowulf not stable https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/beowul … 3.1-2.html, i dont want to go messing about adding a package from testing into stable so i found Heads which is a live distro https://heads.dyne.org/ like tails and has tor all setup. I call it a source tarball from the website you linked, i dont think you build from source but it is the top level or up stream source so to speak, maybe my understanding is wrong. I know how to verify a package thanks.
Im going to mess about with Heads and see if i cant make a live usb with persistence though, shouldnt be too hard ive done it on a debian live iso before so should be fairly similar.
Cheers
Can anyone advise if this live distro has a persistence feature? Ive searched this forum and the heads website and there is no mention of any type of persistence or casper ability.
I would like to only download the tor browser but its not available in stable repo's, i could get the source and did but the shasums do not match and i know how to check a shasum properly. So im not going through with a source install.
I really dont want to do this but my isp has decided i am not allowed to visit one of my favorite news websites zero hedge. I dont want to watch any gory videos (zero hedge doesnt host video, mainly links to them in editorials by the writers) i just like to keep up to date with a non mainstream alternative news blog, especially considering the site is mainly concerned with finance.
Any help much appreciated, i dont normally go in for the privacy orientated distros or anything tor but ill make an exception to circumvent my totalitarian isp provider.
I didnt mean make the file format .txt i just meant the file should contain the text i put in code block.
If your laptop supports this go ahead and install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.
then create a .xsession text file in your home folder if it is not already there and enter below into it.
@synclient TapButton1=1 TapButton2=3 TapButton3=2 &
startxfce4
then reboot.
Edit sorry this may or may not work, depends if you use the default xsession when logging in via the login manager. So just choose default xsession when logging in.
Prior to the ntfs partition not mounting did you modify any settings somewhere, install something not in the devuan repos or install something from the devuan repos, things dont generally break by themselves? Also im not surprised the fstab method didnt work as you had the UUID wrapped in quotes"". UUID="12345678", plus other errors in that fstab line in your screenshot.
Reinstalling is not really the way to go for something like this.
