@Golinux not bad, nice color. It looks kind of gray which I like.

#102 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2025-08-16 02:30:18

@golinux I thought you had lost interest in this thread tongue

#103 Re: Off-topic » Music » 2025-08-16 02:24:12

@Jwm-kit I didn't know you hadn't seen that video before. Also, I didn't know you replied about this till now.  big_smile

#104 Re: News & Announcements » Excalibur testing isos » 2025-08-16 02:21:12

@golinux & @greenjeans

Making test isos is probably far beyond my paygrade too. I know like nothing about programming languages and very little about stuff developers do.  I tend to learn in order to accomplish what I need without driving myself nuts. big_smile

Hyperbola FDE + /Boot is the farthest I have pushed myself ever.

I have done the same on devuan though a long time ago too!

big_smile

This being said, I prefer the classic debian installer. I am not all that familiar with how to set up the same form of encryption you do with classic installer on the refracta one.

Just sayin

#105 Re: Off-topic » Is systemd still bad in 2025? » 2025-08-15 05:57:58

@greenjeans probablt true.

@everyone

I wonder when devuan's next release will be out.

#106 Re: Off-topic » Is systemd still bad in 2025? » 2025-08-12 02:04:49

The problem of systemd is mainly that it never stops growing.

Although, its already bigger than it needs to be.

It should have been complete after one hundred thousand lines of code at minimum.

Its on its way to being as big as the original Windows NT.  I read it has 6 million lines of code. Systemd has like 1 million at least.

The moment it surpasses NT is the moment people everywhere should realize the monster they made. (minimum if not sooner)  With the exception of redhat and microsoft and similar, because they have no humility in this kind of thing.

#107 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [PARTIALLY SOLVED] start difficulties with the 2 new Isos of GNUinOS » 2025-08-12 02:00:22

@aitor can you solve the problem with LUKS encryption installs failing? openrc might actually work for my installs IF and only IF the encryption process is fixed for gnuinos.

I have alas tried and it doesn't work for this exact reason. When I go to boot it, disk encryption causes it to drop to a shell.

@steve_V it was the "no shit sherlock" part.

Also the "muppet" part too.

I don't really watch brodie's stuff much but I love a good gnome dev roast.

big_smile

It seems like you want to play the petty game. Shall I post some your mom jokes?

Since you seem raring to go?

@SteveM That wasn't my understanding. But uh okay.

#110 Re: Off-topic » For those who like parody... » 2025-08-07 05:10:45

@steve_v  was not obvious till I looked at comments.

I didn't know muppets could put videos online, I thought only humans could. I didn't know science has now found a way to make muppets talk, walk have brains like actual people.

Other guys do the same stuff online including that Landuke guy people sometimes praise here.

Ironically, I do agree with him on rust not being a magical bullet. I saw a title that said he wasnt thrilled with rust.

Anywho, harsh as usual I see. tongue

@greenjeans who is to say both don't have dementia. I know this though, one of them isn't trying to find every damn way to overthrow democracy. tongue

#112 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2025-08-07 04:18:18

@golinux sure?  I wasn't trying to insult him in either response.

I was just pondering why and now that I know, curiosity satisfied

#113 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2025-08-07 00:24:06

Its of course fine to make a music player if that's what you want. I just wondered if you felt like it was worth your time given the options that exist lol.

But since you feel like it is, w/e, no problem, do what you want to do.

#114 Re: Off-topic » The need for cooperation as central motivation in Unix and GNUproject » 2025-08-07 00:22:54

@blackhole Still, librewolf is an option and so is waterfox.

I would take those two firefox current web browser derivatives over any chromium ever. Also Icecat is now being kept up to date so there is that option too.

If people have no choice but to use chromium because stuff don't work in firefox though, that is another thing.

Though 'normal' people I use air quotes cause that feel like an oxymoron to me sometimes but anyways, they always pick the easiest option even if its like surrendering to ads on a silver platter. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to see half of the world put in a mental institution for being so damn stupid.

the more you allow ads, the worse the planet gets and the more data that is collected and the more fascism has power if someone bad gets into power.

I could go on and on, but yeah... suffice to say, the majority of people frustrate me on certain things including this.

#115 Re: Off-topic » For those who like parody... » 2025-08-07 00:17:10

@golinux he is making fun of GNOME developers silly.

big_smile

@steve_v same to you as I said to golinux.

Given your signature I would have thought you would understand after watching it.

#116 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PA Volume Control defaults » 2025-08-07 00:16:20

@greenjeans @igorzwx

If that were possible, I would have gotten dementia listening to and laughing at the orange guy in power rambling about nothing for the last 10 years.

Same video different interface.

golinux might know.

#118 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-08-01 04:51:25

Seems encrypted installs don't work yet. It dropped me to a shell after not finding myuser--vg-root.

Said it didnt exist... wierd shit

#119 Re: DIY » Announcement of the OpenMATE desktop environment » 2025-07-28 10:05:43

@GNUser I myself like JWM, because it is an ultra lightweight window manager and has most of the features people desire in a window manager without excessive bloat.

Uses  very little cpu power too.

#120 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-07-28 10:03:43

Actually, don't worry about luks2, supposedly debian has already switched to it since debian 11. And we know that devuan inherits that. So just the no dbus requirement would be good.

#121 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-07-27 02:42:12

@aitor You can probably remove dbus from anything that exists in hyperbola currently.

As for LUKS2 being optional when you get to the partitioning scheme, that might be a challenge to do. I don't expect that will be easy to figure out. That being said, would be nice for sure! big_smile

#122 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-07-23 07:27:35

@aitor would it be possible to run gnuinos with dbus stripped away as much as possible and also, with LUKS2 instead of luks1.

I am using libreboot, so luks2's bugs wouldn't affect me anyhow.

If you could put in an option to make it optional to use luks2 that would be helpful.

#123 Re: DIY » Announcement of the OpenMATE desktop environment » 2025-07-20 23:13:10

It would be nice if Mate didn't require all that garbage to use. dbus and polkit as examples.

I don't trust all that redhatware which is why I tend to stick with jwm.

#124 Re: Other Issues » I seem to crash when I go to a certain website... » 2025-07-20 23:10:29

@ralph.ronnquist I don't quite understand what you mean.  I don't hate anubis, it is somewhat annoying, but cloudflare takes the cake when it comes to being infuriating.

Anubis and goaway seem to be much less annoying for me then cloudflare and other captcha craps.

#125 Re: Other Issues » I seem to crash when I go to a certain website... » 2025-07-20 22:43:57

@altoid I will never disable ublock origin.  Even on a site I think is safe.

Other people do try to break though security protocols in otherwise safe websites anyhow.

Call it paranoia if you want, but that's how I plan to do this
