#devuan

Wer regelmäßig über #SSH auf einem #Server arbeitet, kennt das Problem: Die Verbindung bricht ab, und die laufende Arbeit ist weg. #screen löst das, indem es eine #Terminalsitzung vom Login trennt und im #Hintergrund weiterlaufen lässt – auch wenn Sie sich ausloggen oder die #Verbindung verlieren. Unter #Devuan #GNU #Linux ist screen in den offiziellen Repositories enthalten und funktioniert ohne systemd-Abhängigkeiten. linux.ambag.es/devuan/screen/

Was ist #dpkg-repack? dpkg-repack erstellt aus einem bereits installierten Paket ein #deb-Paket – genau so, wie es gerade auf dem #Devuan #GNU / #Linux #System vorliegt. Das bedeutet: Alle Dateien und besonders die #Konfigurationsdateien werden mit ihrem aktuellen Stand #gesichert. Installiert wird es mit doas apt install dpkg-repack. Das Hauptszenario: Absicherung vor einem Update Angenommen, auf einem Server läuft seit Monaten ein Apache-Webserver (apache2) mit einer aufwendig konfigurierten Virtual-Host-Landschaft. In /etc/apache2/ wurden diverse Dateien angepasst, Module aktiviert, SSL-Zertifikate eingebunden. Nun erscheint ein Update für apache2 im Repository. linux.ambag.es/terminal-allgem…

Wer ein #Paket in #Devuan #GNU / #Linux aus bestimmten Gründen nicht #aktualisieren möchte (z.B. wegen eines Backports, eines #Selbstbaus oder einer inkompatiblen Neuerung), hat zwei Möglichkeiten: #apt-mark #hold und #Apt-Pinning mit #Pin-Priority -1.

Beispiel: vim soll auf dem aktuellen Stand bleiben, nie aktualisiert werden.

1. Methode: apt-mark hold
2. Methode: Pin-Priority -1 (empfohlen für “nie updaten”) ….

So I guess, I will need to talk a little more. Espcially since I want to try leaving #debian #systemd since I feel like it's going to shit but #devuan is not up to the part. #alpine and #arch could be fun but they have strage #postgresql packages with missing extension and I don't have time nor patience to understand why

Getting a ThinkPad X13 (AMD Ryzen) ready for someone to look at. He is wanting a replacement for his Chromebook, but heard that I sold ThinkPad laptops. I installed KDE desktop, then applied a ChromeOS theme. I think it looks okay, but really isn't much different than the default Breeze themes, though it does have an annoying (to me) Google logo that flashes on the screen between login and displaying the KDE desktop. I installed both the Brave and Chromium browsers. I may try other KDE themes, but all in all I think this would be a powerful replacement for a Chromebook. #Devuan #Linux #ChromeOS #ThinkPad

Okay, I've got a bunch of work to do... ... but I'd also like to install Devuan Linux with KDE Plasma on a ThinkCentre Tiny. Which is also productive work, as I want to test it out as an option to pre-install for customers who want Linux, but not urgent at all. In related news, I am gearing up to start a weekly computer giveaway. #Devuan #KDE #Linux

This week's Linux and FOSS news: LINUX NEWS elementaryOS dev announces to comply with California law to avoid fines: https://mastodon.online/@danirabbit/116250765623660340 (I mean, losing a source of income is a valid concern on her part, but it doesn't justify that she risks the privacy of the users. Even though she says in a reply that asking for ID is different, I wouldn't be so sure at this point that she won't consider implementing that too, just to stay in business.) Fedora Project Leader Suggests Linux Distros Could Adopt Apple's Age Verification API: https://itsfoss.com/news/fedora-leader-suggests-age-verification-api/ (Adopting a big tech corp's API? What the hell did he smoke? It's even worse than the Systemd stuff. I already had some trust issues with Fedora, but now it becomes pretty obvious, that they shouldn't be trusted) Devuan rejects compliance: https://xcancel.com/jaromil/status/2034694340249821329 (Now this is great to see. I'm considering getting away from Systemd due to their attitude to comply, Devuan is the primary distro I consider, because it would let me keep the Debian base but get rid of Systemd at the same time.) Slackware also rejects compliance: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/how-is-ab-1043-going-to-impact-slackware-4175762747/page15.html#post6626190 (3 Systemd-free distros not complying at this point, there are quite a few distros to go to.) And ZorinOS too: https://forum.zorin.com/t/statement-about-age-verification-laws/61052 (A really good summary of this whole age nonsense, a worthy read) Kicksecure/Whonix changes plan, "unlikely" to comply, after user backlash: https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Age-api#status Inside the Systemd Age Verification Debate: Developer Responds to Criticism: https://itsfoss.com/dylan-taylor-systemd-controversy/ (I think he isn't the one to blame here, but rather the Systemd project. If he didn't do it, someone else would do it. That's what we get from a corporate-backed project I guess. Harrassing him won't do anything, it's just naive, childish behavior.)
