OP, what kernel are we talking about?

.

I'm aware of that and the other info posted afterward, for brevity's sake I didn't post it all because OP just wanted an answer to his question so I made a quick reply.

I'm really loving this simple app, it has multiple uses depending on how you compile it, I just now thought of using it as a recipe app, gonna compile a new binary and change name and DB folder to have a dedicated recipe version.

Lol, chatting with wife now, and she wants one for knitting/crocheting patterns.

Yeah at least on Daedalus, running it right now, works fine after you do some initial work on settings. Ad-blocking is pretty good.

Main thing I like about it, is that it's not Firefox. Second thing I like about it is that it's not Firefox. No ridiculous scrollbar nonsense, that's another plus.

Not a problem, gnlug is what I use but whatever works best.

Cool, did not know that as I don't use Ventoy, just did some reading of the threads here about issues.

Well i'm your huckleberry for sure when it comes to testing Snapshot, lol. It's no exaggeration for me to say i've used Refracta Snashot around 250-300 times in the last year, both on Daedalus and Excalibur, and never once experienced a failure. I have isos available online now made with it, again with both daedalus and excalibur.

FYI Devuan doesn't work properly with Ventoy, there's some threads about that on here.

Check your other thread OP, this may be related to: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … ug=1123750

It's the same kernel that's giving you problems, just manifests differently maybe.

Can you narrow down when this started with respect to package upgrades (if any)?

If you haven't updated recently and the problems just started out of the blue, then I suspect that's old hardware giving up the ghost slowly.

I have a 2005 lappy, old Athlon chip and 1 gb of ram that i've nursed along for quite a few years, but it started doing something similar and then just got worse until one day it simply would not power up.

Right back atcha friends, thanks for a great year, i'm excited about what comes next in this new year!

Sorry to be the voice of moderation here, lol, but pretty much every science fiction story ever written has all kinds of calamity in it by design, people wouldn't read it or go to the movies if it was just mundane everyday life described.

People who design AI say it will be the best thing ever, and then on the other end of the scale there are people who say it will be the worst thing ever.

And here I am in the middle as always, having lived through dozens of these disruptive technology moments and listened to all this before, still saying the same thing which is nearly always correct:

It can be a good thing, or a bad thing, just depends on how people use it. But it won't be the end of the world.

Try optimism people, glass half-full.

Lol I know older folks that have still never used a computer a day in their life because they think it's the devil.

Steve, the milk of human kindness come to warm the place up again, happy New Year buddy!

I'll admit, hadn't thought of that angle, as I run spinning rust and not short-life-expectancy ssd's.

Horsefeathers. They're both solid-state, there won't be a noticeable difference. There won't even be much of a difference on a machine like mine with an HDD. If I wanted everything in ram i'd load a live-session.

It's not the only thing living in ram these days, ram usage overall is more than double what it was a few short years ago, and there's lots of people running old hardware with low ram that need the extra. Not everybody has 32-64 gigs of ram, some folks are on a budget, i'm running 4 gb myself and i'd like to keep it clear.

So it's good to know now that i'll have a choice in the matter, which was the whole point of the post.

People have a right to do these things, if nobody ever complained every system in the world would suck.

And lastly, for myself, I don't just complain, I do something about it pretty regularly.

Srsly, hope you had a good Christmas and all the best to you and family in the New Year!
