Re: [DNG] Multiple resignations from Freenode's staff ??? New drama shake the opensource
Quoting Ludovic Belli??re (belliere.ludo...@proximus.be): > What does it means for devuan? It's a spelling change! 1996: NCSA HTTPd is now spelled "Apache HTTPd" 1997: gcc is now spelled "egcs" (which then got called gcc, again) 1991: GNU libc forked as Linux libc, and then, 1998: Linux libc is now spelled "GNU libc" again. 2003: XFree86 is now spelled "X.org" 2002: Open Projects Network is now spelled "Freenode" 2006: Kanotix's leading edge is now spelled "Sidux" 2010: Sidux is now spelled "Aptosid"[1] 2012: OpenOffice[.org} is now spelled "LibreOffice" 2014: Solaris is now spelled "Illumos" 2021: Freenode is now spelled "LiberaChat" See? It's all about spelling reform. It appears that Mr. Lee's corporate entity "freenode Limited" has, at least for now, Registrant status for three Internet domains, freenode.net/org/com. Mr. Lee appears to have no other assets relevant to what until now was called Freenode and, probably by the end of Thursday, his time, his three Internet domains will point to no Internet infrastructure, as it will all disaffiliate and reconstitute itself as "LiberaChat" -- as is happening in real time as I write this. [1] This sound familiar? "A press release dated September 11 came to the community's attention Monday, September 13 of the renaming or, as some reported, a fork of sidux to aptosid. Due to conflicts with the commercial backer of the Debian-based distribution, sidux developers have separated themselves from the Sidux e.V. association to continue developing aptosid on their own." https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/sidux-developers-provide-clean-upgrade-path-aptosid ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

[DNG] Strange browser home
I ssh -X from my laptop (midwinter) to my server, april. On april I start a browser. Of course it displays on my laptop because of the -X, I navigate to my home directory (I have one on each machine) When I do this with chromium I get my home directory on april, as expected. When I do it with firefox-esr, I get my home directory on midwinter, my laptop. Evidently starting firefox-esr on april manages to actually start it on midwinter... How can it so this? How does it even know to do this? It's clearly more efficient if I want to look at files on the world-wide web. But not what I want if I want to examine files on the server. -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

(TY) I had a "good" experience with the alpha-20210426 installer for chimaera on amd64 for a fairly standard install. My only "gripe" is that using runit as your init silently falls back to sysvinit if you install without a network connection. I just checked https://files.devuan.org/devuan_chimaera/installer-iso/ and saw there are alpha-20210517 netinst images for amd64 and i386.

As outline by > Florian about a month ago. (TY) Keep in mind that testing is in hard freeze, as such some package may not receive security updates. Notably, chromium is still in it's 89 versions. See https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/chromium Depending on the usage of your system, you may want to make sure software you use aren't frozen.
