Thanks a bunch! Like I said, it was a screenful away (but I'm poor sighted).
BTW, the link I was given in email:

But (good news, owe it to forum maintainers or to Palemoon ---which I use--- devs, don't know): when I opened it in my browser and went for my profile, for which I needed to log in, what happened is what should happen:
it turned into HTTPS. 
Good to see!

...But I didn't find the option to get a url into the quote's header, like on the Gentoo Forums link as I explained (see my previous post to this one). Can that be done?
If I find out there's a way to do it, I'll post it for everyone to learn.
And another little issue. Often one needs to see all of her/his posts.
E.g., I often don't remember in which subforum I posted some particular post, but remember I posted some detail incorrectly in that post.
It could be again half a click away, but I simply haven't found it yet...

It's not always censorship, when corporate sites load fast... (Not always! But, yes it plain malicious censorship sometimes!)...
If anybody is interested to learn how is it that big players are always so very easily accessible, even though it's a topic about SSL (but also not only all the big players, but also all the advanced small players, business or individual, have gone to using SSL), you can still figure a lot about why git.devuan.org can not be very easily accessible in most places of the world...

title: How to do some formatting little things in Dev1galaxy Forums
---
I starting writing the text below preparing to post this post of this topic:
Heads, the libre privacy distro, some basic usage
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1047#p1047
and then I realized it probably deserves it's own topic.
--
Concerning the \[code\]\[\/code\] that golinux reminded me was missing, in the post to which my post above is the reply to. (And I also hope people who open a topic will be automatically subscribed to the topic they open ;-) ... )
((
Also I can't get the ":-)", was first there, nor ";-)", is now there, above into a smiley... So another formatting issue there...
SOLVED:
You just don't use the "-"
))
I tried, in this one of posts:
Discussion about heads
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1038#p1038
to get it that the url is inserted, so that the lines in the quote contain a link. Just find the lines around what appears like (but is different in the code):
I think that's ng0 wrote:
And I couldn't insert the url:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay:Yo … heinternet under the text "I think that's ng0" ("who" is missing, I'll correct that now...)
In Gentoo Forums and (I think also Grsecurity Forums and Debian Forums) you can do it.
An example:
More non-Decryptables (from Mozilla Cloud)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1 … ml#7848104
Find:
Mozilla developer Andrew Sutherland wrote:
and see that not only "Mozilla developer Andrew Sutherland" is clickable (urgh, the link is to the Schmoog the Schmoogle), but also the name "Andrew Sutherland" is of its own color.
So I was wondering can that (and those other mentioned) be done in this forum?
Regards!

@miroR . . . your enthusiasm for heads is much appreciated. I know that security has been a concern of yours for many years.
[1]
Could you please enclose the commands in your post(s) in tags. It makes it easier for the eye to find them.
Done! (I was used to forums where the commands available are exposed...) [2]
BTW. I thought subscriptions to topic were automatic for one's own posts. I only noticed you replied to this via PM... For these five days I believed it wasn't replied to, and it was, and five days ago, on the day that I posted it. [3]

[1] You very likely remember:
Grsecurity/Pax installation on Debian GNU/Linux
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=108616
but that's not really a developer's work... It was simply missing for newbies... And I still dream of learning the internals of Devuan and be able to teach newbies grsecurity-hardening in their Devuan machines But, as many others, I lost interest in Debian because of systemDestruction:

LATER NOTE: Not, it's not growing, but it is still being read! Some, very roughly, I didn't keep the tab on it, 20,000 views in a few months. Now is at 66738 view.
But it's Corsac's grsecurity packages (almost or truly) official in Devuan. Wasn't ready yet when I started that topic...
[2] I decided to open a new topic about formatting where is more fitting to write about it in more detail:

Github is not a safe infrastructure for a GNU Internet.

[1] I know some will think, why? we not in obfuscation. True, but if you deal with Github, anonymously or not, all is stored and all the few that crave for control over us have it all to work out on everybody posting/using it, while git.devuan.org *not*. It's not the same. Here is the truth:
Once you log into or simply reach to:
git.devuan.org
all is encrypted, they can't block selectively! No, they can't.
(
Of course, if SSL is good only!
)
That's where some of these (can't reread them now, no time, so some of them):
http://youbroketheinternet.org/
http://secushare.org/
http://secushare.org/PGP
in that sense only! in that sense only! are wrong --not otherwise.
...
And the few control cravers, they don't have all you are doing/have done on git.devuan.org, because git.devuan.org is not about serving them like Github, apparently yes!, is. That's why Akamai is slowing it down.
It's tough, but we must find a solution.
(Of course there could be other components/reasons/you-name-it to the slowliness...)

I know it's just the program git download and not Tor communication, but do you really thing they're not maliciously astute in getting less Tor users and more control by also censoring (that's censorship, go for the definitions of it!) the getting of the Tor-using programs?

This is, word by word, verbatim, what you can view in:
Heads, the grsec-hardened Devuan based Fork of Tails (14)
https://www.croatiafidelis.hr/foss/cap/ … uan-14.php
i.e. in the screencast at:
https://www.croatiafidelis.hr/foss/cap/ … #t=0:00:06
It will be much easier to follow with the instructions in written, and in action in the screencast!
================
I plan to make a wiki page out of this text/material on Gentoo Wiki, and a
page on dev1galaxy.org. Heads looks *very* promising!
This is, as Head developers say, _not_ yet all checked and secure! I too use
it for testing purposes only.
As root:
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=4000 of=usb_disk02.img
# mke2fs -t ext4 usb_disk02.img
# chown miro:miro usb_disk02.imgCheck it up as normal user (or with just ls -l):
$ ls -ABRgo usb_disk02.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 4194304000 2017-03-24 20:38 usb_disk02.img
$ ls -ABRgoh usb_disk02.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 4.0G 2017-03-24 20:38 usb_disk02.img
$Also check that you can mount it on the host, and write to it.
And I'll run this script (I have TPE --trusted path execution-- configured in
my grsecurity-hardened kernel in Gentoo, so I can't just run from anywhere,
but am, of course, safer):
# cat /usr/local/bin/HeadsVM_usb_prep02.sh#!/bin/sh
exec qemu-system-x86_64 \
-machine type=q35,accel=kvm \
-enable-kvm \
-cpu host \
-usb -usbdevice disk:format=raw:usb_disk02.img \
-device virtio-net,netdev=internet \
-netdev \
bridge,br=br0,id=internet,helper=/usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper \
-m 4196M \
-monitor stdio \
-display gtk \
-name "Tails_usb_prep" \
$@
# add:
# -cdrom heads-0.1-amd64-live.iso
#
# once Tails installed in usb try:
# TailsVM_usb_run.sh
# or actually this same one w/o adding anythingAnd now let's do it!
================
Pls. let me know if anything is missing for this to work for you.
I know Tomb will be used, of course, and it will be true and encrypted storage, but, if you look over at:
» Issues
» Filesystem persistence
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=969#p969
it may not be ready yet.
I hope I'll be able to find more time and try and improve this tip.

@miroR . . . Are you aware that heads is in the Devuan pipeline? It's intended as a live CD but I'm sure there are some out there who will play with installing it. Look for release announcements in the coming months.
heads is a GNU/Linux liveCD distribution aimed at people who like the aspect of controlling their privacy and anonymity on the Internet. You might have heard of Tails as a similar GNU/Linux distribution. heads was born as an answer to Tails, since Tails is using systemd as an init system and also contains non-free software.
I remember checking up if you replied, can't swear it, very possibly didn't update the page properly, or mixed something up, but it remained in my memory there wasn't your reply when I checked...
Anyway, sorry, really sorry for replying this late!
I was told as Whonix Forums by anonymous, maybe a fortnight ago, about Heads, and I tried it, and very much liked it! Very much!
The ML page a little slow right now to appear (I was for hours out with Heads today, and long online could be the reason, system possibly even gets a little infected, lots of network dirt online...)... [A little slow right now to appear]:
https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/m … info/heads
But this is my mail on the web:
Re: [heads] dead link to heads ML archives
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … e3.en.html
And I'm pretty saddened that Heads has had to go to github. Big-business is not such great place... They have Akamai[1] giving them preference, they'll always be fast, and they have the Schmoog (y'know, Schmog the Schmoogle, the spies of the world, and on the whole world; well, at least all world spy agencies' friends, yes they are!) as important partner...
The above paragraph is as per:
[heads] heads repositories migration
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 31.en.html
I don't know what the full reasoning was, what the full causality to that migration is, but I hope it can be mended and Devuan, in its derivatives, not having to be associated/dependable on big business. BTW, there can be more moral big business, and I don't claim complete rejection of any mentioned above... but... they are very suspicious, some more, some less... Moral big businesses a few there appear to be, but I don't think it's them![2]. In other words, we will continue to be up against the (basically) few powerful who crave to control us... But a separate topic should be opened for that, and time found to discuss (I mean there are ways of defenses, I'm sure there are!)...
I'm planning on making a little user tip on Heads, will be at:
Heads, the grsec-hardened Devuan based Fork of Tails (14)
http://www.croatiafidelis.hr/foss/cap/c … uan-14.php
(inexistent at the time of posting this)
not yet completely prepared... (And if my not very good health don't grow worse...)
Really glad to read from you, and proud of your great work at Devuan, gal!

The password matter is solved.
And...
And I've made it! It wasn't Devuan's fault, but hardship which this advanced field of IT is, learning and applying that knowledge.
Some the advanced matters that I might have been finally solving can be read over at Grsecurity Forums:
Libvirt virtualization policies
https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4675
( what I applied as can be read there, in Gentoo, my dream is to apply that in Devuan... I still dream of Devuan minimalist --sans-dbus-- like dev1fanboy has made a topis in his space, and hardened properly with grsecurity, and teaching newbies to do it.... I still dream about it... )
Because I've ran Devuan (both proper, and Refracta) in VMs under grsecurity RBAC policies enabled, which was stuff I could only dare dream about doing it just a few months ago.
( Not saying grsecurity is difficult... for programmers and really advanced users... but I'm not one of those ;-) ... To the contrary, grsec is a breeze in comparison to the NSA Linux, oh sorry, I meant SELinux... )

I'm also now comletely on Refracta Devuan unofficial for backup. Relinquished, finally, systemrescuecd (was good, but they should not have adopted systemd, sorry!) for Refracta, and do my Air-Gap master machine cloning for my online and other (same hardware) clones, with Refracta.

Hi!
How stupid! Everything might be working, but I can't find the password anywhere easily. And I searched. This forum as well.
So, in my Gentoo:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -display gtk -m 1024M -machine type=q35,accel=kvm -enable-kvm -monitor stdio devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta2_amd64.qcow2
I got the qcow2 from:
https://files.devuan.org/devuan_jessie_beta/testing/
that command got my Devuan fired quickly and nicely (don't know if I got network, can't know for reasons that will show to be obvious next), but all I really got is:
Devuan GNU/Linux 1 devuan tty1
devuan login:
And I can't find it anywhere what to enter for usename, what for password.
For Refracta, which works marvellously as well, and you can see for yourself (as well as the problem with the freeforums.org):
https://www.croatiafidelis.hr/foss/cap/ … vuan-7.php
you can find the username and password easily and prominently:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/refrac … vuan_live/
NOTE: that username and password didn't work
but not for what I get from:
It's not in the README:
https://files.devuan.org/README.txt
Where is it? Somebody, pls!
#216 Re: Devuan Derivatives » List of Devuan derivatives » 2016-11-30 11:03:48
I have tried (or should I say "I had tried"; I work so slowly that it's Past Perfect Tense, really) a few Devuan images, but only one Devuan derivative I managed to install in a Virtual Machine.
Here:
http://www.croatiafidelis.hr/foss/cap/c … evuan/#No5
(I know it's not much, but I'm fresh --and slow-- also at Virtual Machines)
I have very high security standards though. I deploy grsecurity-hardened in my Gentoo (which is actually cloned from my Air-Gapped master system).
I look forward to making a similar scenario with Devuan... It's the only acceptable way for me for a day-to-day used system...
And surely, Air-Gap installing and hardening could make it in the order of magnitude of manifold increase of time and work, maybe even for a programmer.... And yet, my top contributions in FOSS GNU/Linux (mostly in Gentoo) have so far been, (at times) good testing...
I can expand on the Air-Gapping and also on cloning (what a great security feature: you install from PGP-signed local repository in Air-Gap, and clone that system into same MBO --that is the condition, also compatible HDDs, similar peripherals-- another system for only online! ...
((
"I can expand on the Air-Gapping"... I meant in another topic, I forgot that I was replying to a topic on Devuan-based distros... Moderators, feel free to split this topic away from:
Devuan Derivatives
