| forester | I could download ISO with 4. But I don't know a better choice. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| golinux | forester: Not a good idea to skip a release. Best to go through all of them or just do a fresh install of chimaera. | 00:02 |
| golinux | And remember to always read the Release Notes. :D | 00:03 |
| forester | golinux: Thank you. I just do have a limited internet connection, therefore I think how to economize traffic. And .... thinking. | 00:05 |
| forester | I think to download ISO is a better choice. | 00:06 |
| golinux | If you want a desktop, the desktop-live might be a good way to go. It just copies the files in the image to your drive. | 00:09 |
| forester | By the way, I was trying telegram from devuan repository some month before now (downloaded, installed and did try to register without smartphone). It (telegram official) was launched about 30 mins. And I have found about 30 Mb information was stolen from my PC with previous installation of devuan. | 00:10 |
| forester | I am trying to say "telegram official could have somehow exploit or backdoor, or man in the middle volnerability. I always monitoring the internet connection with system monitor (because have small internet plan). | 00:13 |
| gnarface | it might save bandwidth to uninstall stuff you're not using before you do the upgrade | 00:14 |
| forester | gnarface: Thank you. | 00:17 |
| forester | Bye. | 00:17 |
| debdog | forester: mayhap you're able to find someone with a better connection who is willing to .... | 00:17 |
| debdog | bye | 00:17 |
| fluffywolf | MPLv2 should be suitable for packaging for debian, right? | 04:30 |
| * fluffywolf is trying to figure out why meshroom isn't packaged | 04:31 | |
| fluffywolf | grr, apparently only works with nvidia gpus, so there's no point in trying to build it. | 04:34 |
| gnarface | mplv2 is on the list of osi-approved licenses | 04:36 |
| fluffywolf | making software depend on a specific vendor's video cards seems really stupid. | 04:38 |
| gnarface | requires CUDA? | 04:38 |
| fluffywolf | yep | 04:38 |
| texasmynsted | are there things I can (not should, but can) do to improve boot performance? | 04:49 |
| fluffywolf | do you have a ssd? | 04:50 |
| texasmynsted | I have heard of people loading the shell scripts that are run during boot into ram. I forget the name of the tool. | 04:51 |
| texasmynsted | yes | 04:51 |
| texasmynsted | Boot is not slow, I just want to see just how fast I can make it. | 04:51 |
| fluffywolf | hrmm, can't help there. boot has been so fast since I got a ssd that I haven't thought about it. | 04:51 |
| fluffywolf | the whole twice a year or so I boot... | 04:52 |
| texasmynsted | This one is running in virtualbox. | 04:52 |
| texasmynsted | I am trying things out. | 04:52 |
| texasmynsted | The destination machine has an HDD. | 04:52 |
| texasmynsted | by destination I mean the machine that I will later apply what I have learned. | 04:53 |
| fluffywolf | what I need is a way to make firefox faster. | 04:54 |
| texasmynsted | open fewer tabs? | 04:56 |
| lts | Try reducing things Firefox needs to do, e.g. ads, 3rd party javascript. Then try moving the Firefox cache to RAM. I have pretty much a blazing fast Firefox | 04:57 |
| fluffywolf | it seems to get progressively slower the longer you have it installed, until it becomes unusable and you have to wipe your profile and start over. | 04:57 |
| golinux | uBlock Origin keeps cruft away. | 04:58 |
| fluffywolf | and, of course, it fucking STILL leaks ram. at least my new box has 16GB, so it can go a full week without crashing. | 04:58 |
| * fluffywolf has ublock origin | 04:59 | |
| plasma41 | texasmynsted: | 05:08 |
| plasma41 | You can get really fast boot if you replace all your ram with core memory. /s | 05:09 |
| * fluffywolf has a 1KB core ram board; is not enough to boot linux. :P | 05:13 | |
| texasmynsted | ha | 05:13 |
| psionic | lol we will cringe the old "mozilla" times back before firefucks | 09:07 |
| psionic | these mofos need to fuck something with browsers at every release | 09:07 |
| psionic | remove menus move around icons, lock down futuers even just to disable the automatic update notification in that bitch takes a rocket scientist | 09:08 |
| psionic | that would be more than enough to have 2-3 releases per year not a new version in ever 2-3 freaking weeks of this shitlet | 09:08 |
| jonadab | psionic: Seamonkey exists for a reason. If that's what you want, use that. | 15:01 |
| jonadab | Modern Gecko rendering engine, and a UI that hasn't materially changed in fifteen years. | 15:01 |
| galib | having problems with apt update on daedalus, please help | 15:13 |
| galib | apt says "The repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus InRelease' is no longer signed | 15:14 |
| james1138 | Hello from Indiana and question. I noticed that Debian 10 (Buster) has an available repository called "Buster-Proposed-Updates" - is there a similar repository for Devuan Beowulf such as "Beowulf-Proposed-Updates"?? | 15:25 |
| james1138 | The repository "Jessie-Proposed-Updates" says disabled -just wondering if there is anyway to enable it? | 15:27 |
| Joril | james1138: yes, see http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/dists/beowulf-proposed-updates/ | 15:40 |
| texasmynsted | what about chromium? | 15:45 |
| james1138 | Thanks Joril: How would I type that into Synaptic?? | 15:55 |
| james1138 | URL http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/dists/ / Distribution beowulf-proposed-updates / Sections non-free contrib main - maybe???? | 15:56 |
| Joril | I'd say "deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-proposed-updates main contrib non-free" | 16:05 |
| james1138 | Thanks Joril | 16:25 |
| james1138 | Texasmynstead: I missed something... what was the question about Chromium?? | 16:42 |
| texasmynsted | no. Somebody was complaining about Firefox. | 17:06 |
| james1138 | Gotcha Texamynsted. I tried Firefox myself - gave up and use Chromium. | 17:07 |
| texasmynsted | nod | 17:07 |
| texasmynsted | Has anybody here used cloud-init in order to "post-install-setup" a physical installation? (physical as in not a cloud, VM, docker, etc install.) | 17:09 |
| james1138 | Not me. | 17:10 |
| yjftsjthsd3 | I haven't gotten around to doing it, but I think you can do that using the... there's a way for it to source its configuration data from a disk that has the right label | 17:42 |
