@ alphalpha . . . Yes, FluxBB is a good fit for Devuan. The software was old even when it was first installed. I have no idea if there have been any "official" updates since then but there have been some custom modifications. Here's the story of how we got to FluxBB . . .

Devuan's first forum was Discourse. It was not very well received by Devuan users. So I created and self-hosted Dev1Galaxy as the "The Officially Unofficial Devuan Forum!" alternative. Two or so years later, Discourse was mothballed and Dev1Galaxy became the "Officially Official Devuan Forum!".

As long as it works, why would there be any reason to change it? SNS is not exactly Devuan's style . . .

@KnightTemplar . . . Welcome aboard the freedom train!

Note that this is a rewrite of my previous post here which suffered from my foggy memory . . .

Note that "The Joke Thread" has been unblocked since 2025-02-27. I was rather surprised that no one figured that out. Then a new user unaware of the history gave it a try and brought it back to life.

As long as "The Joke Thread" does not become the most active one day after day like it has in the past, it will remain open.

All things in moderation . . .

This is the first I've heard about this patch . . . that I can remember. Perhaps someone will test it in Devuan and make it available for Devuan. Possibly you?

Here's a history lesson regarding this forum to explain to Non_Woke_Linux_User and other newcomers how I became an admin here . . .

Devuan's first forum was Discourse. It was not very well received by Devuan users. So I created and self-hosted Dev1Galaxy as the "The Officially Unofficial Devuan Forum!" alternative. Two or so years later, Discourse was mothballed and Dev1Galaxy became the "Officially Official Devuan Forum!". 

Let this be a reminder that the fantasies we dream up in our head most often have little to do with reality!

Social media is my guess . . .

Perhaps you will learn, grasshopper . . .

Why not ask "God"? 

Good find! Sounds like they want to stop the bleeding from (yet another) bone-headed decision! They sure are slow learners in that camp . . .

Anecdote: Over a decade ago and before systemd made its formal entrance on Debian, I went several rounds with Michael Biebl (and others) on the debian-user mail list and nearly got banned. Shortly thereafter, I surrendered to the immovable reality and never posted there again . . .

Not to worry . . . There is a solution for some of that. It's not easy to "lose" a tiny sub-dermal chip containing all your important personal info!

Note that a voip connection is still working for me on an ancient set of Panasonic phones that a friend handed down to me over a decade ago. My "emergency" cell phone has the battery removed and I have no idea if it would still work to make a 911 emergency call which is why I bought it a very long time ago.

Yeah . . . that last entry was an epic fail. The relentlessness of his/its posts is very borderline human behavior.
