I'm confused . . . maybe it's my old eyes . . . or maybe I don't understand what a watermark is . . . or maybe I need special xray glasses?

#1254 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] any chances to install nvidia-legacy-340xx on Devuan chimaera? » 2022-03-19 21:50:34
And how its can help?
You can find stuff.
. . . driver from sid and i use stable
You might be able to backport it to stable. Don't ask me how. That's beyond my skill-set.

You can download and install just what you need.
pkginfo.devuan.org is a very useful tool.

No need to add Debian repo. Devuan already has it!
Debian sid = Devuan ceres
#1257 Re: Devuan » Donation bombed » 2022-03-18 01:39:08
I think that zapper and andyprough should create their own forum where they can try to outdo each other's nonsense. Please stop wasting Devuan resources on irrelevant babble.

Seems you've forgotten this is a GNUinOS - Libre thread not a Trisquel thread.
#1259 Re: Devuan » Donation bombed » 2022-03-18 01:24:14
I tried to make a small donation but the form wanted my phone number and that's something I would even give to mother Theresa :-)
I just investigated the options HERE and it seems that credit card donations are going through PayPal (yuck) and the the form does indeed ask for a phone number. Is that the option you tried? I don't know if it's always been that way but I can ask the folks at dyne if they are aware it is set up that way. That web page hasn't been changed in a long time. PayPal might have changed their procedure or someone would have probably mentioned it before.

There is also the debian-cd package:
If you go that route you'll need to be aware of the banned packages list or suffer the consequences.
#1266 Re: Installation » Multi-DVD installation sets » 2022-03-07 23:08:21
This wouldn't work for you?
server (~670 MB): CD1 of a 4 CD set that allows for a complete off-line server/minimal installation. The remaining CDs offer several desktop choices and a limited selection of additional software.
CD2: Xfce (installable from tasksel) and LXDE.
CD3: MATE (installable from tasksel) and Openbox window manager.
CD4: Cinnamon (installable from tasksel) but requires CD2 and CD3 to install.

That's fine golinux, I was just sharing what I was reading :-)
Fair enough . . . 
I don't know how you find time to read so much or why you'd want to. But that's another conversation . . .

Seems you are unaware of the consequences that can come from even an off-the-cuff attempt at humor like that. But then, it is your life and your choice to squander it as you wish . . .

Thank you Andy for those offerings. I'm sure they will bring comfort to many.
Here's a slightly different perspective and focus. Monastics from the Abhayagiri Monastery chanting funeral texts that focus on the grinding realities of impermanence and cause and effect:

A recitation of the Paticcasaṃuppāda (Dependent Origination) starts at about 9:02 with the words:

Debian do not recommend those tools and I have seen quite a few problem threads over at forums.debian.net caused by Rufus not burning images correctly.
The recommended technique is
cp devuan.iso /dev/sdX ; syncReference: https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#write-usb
I have never seen that command recommended at Devuan and have always used the dd command. These are the methods recommended on the Devuan website:
Writing an image to a CD/DVD or USB drive
Images can be written to a CD or DVD using wodim.
user@hostname:~$ wodim dev=/dev/sr0 -eject filename.iso
All Devuan ISO images are hybrid ISOs and may be written to a USB drive using dd.
root@hostname:~# dd if=filename.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync

With all due respect golinux, i am old enough to learn from my mistakes but i dont believe i have made any here in my opinion.
Being unaware is not making a mistake.
I agree and thought my response made that clear. The point was as you stated above to learn from those experiences and move on . . .

I'm not doing well here am I. Posting antisemtic links and now Tibetan sexual abuse cults!
I had no idea about Chogyam Trungpa "thing".
Life is not about always doing "well" or saying the right thing. It is about learning and sometimes we step in a big pile.

The Essential Pema:Study Guide
I know very little of Pema Chodron or what the Tibetans are about. But I do remember the Chogyam Trungpa "thing" which cemented my resolve to stay far away . . .
The link was just the first when I did a quick search so luck of the draw and no agenda.
