Music that helps me sleep sometimes:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLupe … ukZ4vN14lY

it is my childhood after all. smile

I played that game a lot then. My first favourite game

Half of these don't help sleep though.

The ones that help are:

Teck 3
Teck 4
Title
Drums
Devo
Run Away
Easy 2
Bells
Tek World

I have an mp3 player with my favourite music of games I have played, this is some of it.

Gotta switch it up though, same thing doesn't work always.

@golinux I saw no mention of this on this forum, so I thought I knew something most people here didn't.

I am glad someone is developing an alternative for x86 including 64 bit at least anyhow. Maybe other architectures will follow once they get stable support for their devices.

I am of course talking of HyperbolaBSD. (when its stable!)

If it gets up to snuff the way it should, perhaps Devuan will have another interface of interest if this corporate nonsense starts overtaking linux to the level of no return.

I doubt the point of no return has happened yet though, as devuan still exists.

I am curious to know, what will devuan do about this?

https://systemd.io/THE_CASE_FOR_THE_USR_MERGE/

I hear debian is doing this in the near future and this will cut off 32 bit support as well as other not so good things.

I learned about it from an unexpected place, but it seems to be true.

Thoughts for any of you?

Also here's something else:

#181 Re: Devuan » Why has no one enhanced sysvinit? » 2024-10-13 10:33:28

@GNUser That is fair,.  Btw, to be honest, the only init that is probably as light as sysvinit but still very featured like openrc is runit.

I still have to learn a bit more on how to use it though. wink

#182 Re: Off-topic » A Reflection on Kindness » 2024-10-11 13:21:39

@golinux yes, repaying evil with good is the Godly way to live.

Sometimes that can be tough though.

In any case, its hard and right to do.

#183 Re: Off-topic » Something I realized, » 2024-10-05 05:15:56

@delgado maybe blobs was the wrong word, what I should have said, is privacy invasive blobs.

Like anything that is a blob that has a network stack that can send stuff where you don't want it.

An example of this for many is, intel me enabled fully in most intel devices.

If you have such a situation, keep important files off of that!

That would be my reply.

#184 Re: Devuan » Why has no one enhanced sysvinit? » 2024-10-05 05:09:26

openrc in my experience, its easier to start and stop processes. For example, sysvinit, I have no idea what you need to do to make that happen in pure sysvinit.

That was my reason for supporting that ideal. But you do you.

#185 Re: DIY » How to replace all mentions in git soure code, » 2024-10-03 07:44:27

@ralph.ronnquist fair point hmm....

Yeah, it must keep resetting... then.  I am doing something a bit out of the norm anyhow for here.

So I will leave it at that.

#186 Re: DIY » How to replace all mentions in git soure code, » 2024-10-03 05:08:24

@fsmithred hmm... weird I tried that and it still left stuff behind unchanged...

#187 Re: Off-topic » AI Safety » 2024-10-02 20:38:16

@golinux I now read what you said about stupidity being the driving force of humanity, but there is one other thing, egos/stubbornness  also plays a huge part too..

Probably a larger part actually.

#188 Re: Devuan » Why has no one enhanced sysvinit? » 2024-10-02 20:35:17

@rolfie my point was that, its not just systemd or sysvinit... there are other options. tongue

#189 Re: DIY » How to replace all mentions in git soure code, » 2024-10-02 20:33:23

In simple terms, I did this:

find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/old-word/new-word/g' {} \;

Then I did my command to check to see if it was fixed,

git rev-list --all | xargs git grep -F python2.7

I seem to have gotten mixed up and written wrong thing down... my bad.

In any case, that might help clear up the confusion.

Does the find command you gave me actually replace all mentions of the word python2.7 if I put it as first word with the second word in all source code?

Or am I really confused.

#190 Re: Devuan » Why has no one enhanced sysvinit? » 2024-10-02 19:32:20

@all Or you could just use openrc which is way more functional then sysvinit but isn't that bloated monolith systemd.

#191 Re: DIY » How to replace all mentions in git soure code, » 2024-10-02 19:24:28

@golinux which is why I am replacing python2.7 with tauthon instead of python with tauthon

;P

Btw, I used this command after doing that:

git rev-list --all | xargs git grep -F python2.7

and it still shows python2.7 mentions... weird stuff.

Correcting what I said, I wrote down the wrong one.

I am basically asking, something in continuation to this:

http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=6857

How can I replace all mentions instead of a word instead of searching for it.

Through all of a git folders/repo

#193 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Something rather bizarre regarding ram has happened, » 2024-09-28 23:52:15

@chris2be8

I got more ram and that fixed the problem thankfully.

#194 Re: DIY » Anyone know how to use git to search? » 2024-09-28 23:37:18

@quickfur I found one also recently, I am not sure if the 2nd you have works, but I found this:

git rev-list --all | xargs git grep -F python2.7

This one works for sure.

EDIT: your 2nd one also works.

The first one doesn't though last I tried it.

#195 DIY » Anyone know how to use git to search? » 2024-09-27 02:04:03

Like for instance, anyone know commands to search throughout an entire source code for all mentions of python, or in my case python2.7

So I  can find and make corrections.

In all files I might add within source code.

#196 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » backport question, » 2024-09-23 05:31:48

I tried the kernel, seems to have not fixed my problem. Although, I had 2 problems, one with my alt keys was resolved in a rather weird way anyhow.

Some kind of configuration oops had swapped my alt and fn keys. But now it is back to normal.

So now only 1 issue, an expansion slot that doesn't work.

#197 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Something rather bizarre regarding ram has happened, » 2024-09-23 05:30:22

@chris2be8 I decided anyhow that I might need more ram. So thats what I will do.

#198 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-20 12:41:21

@bilhook @JWM-Kit

I reinstalled and doas works fine again for that purpose.  Although, I did custom instead of doas no password.

Then, I did doas poweroff and doas reboot in their respective places. Now I can shutdown and reboot the way I want.

reinstalling sadly hasn't fixed my wine bug though.

#199 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Something rather bizarre regarding ram has happened, » 2024-09-20 04:44:47

@chris2be8 do you think wayland would be affected by this then? Don't get me wrong, I hate wayland, but this is my gaming computer so ill put up with it if i have to.

#200 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Something rather bizarre regarding ram has happened, » 2024-09-18 19:47:10

@chris2be8

What web browser are you using? I can make it work.

Did you disable javascript or something?

I am using palemoon and I can get link easily. Very strange...

You should be able to as long as you wait ten seconds or so
