When Good Devuan Goes Bad
I thought today might be a good time to upgrade my Devuan Chimeara desktop to Daedalus, so I could check-out all the latest and greatest. Big mistake.
In the upgrade I followed the release-upgrade procedures to the letter - they are not complicated. I got about 3/4 done and the upgrade freezes. Shit, I’m sunk. I try rebooting the machine - kernel panic. I am sunk.
OK, no personal panic, I have up-to-date user backups afterall… So, I go to the Devuan website and grab the “live” desktop install. I repartition my harddisk (just in case) and go through the entire install accepting the default choices - while paying attention that they seem correct. Everything goes very smoothly. No problem. So, Install accomplished I reboot the machine… and Grub seems to have lost its installed location. It shows a “Cannot find” error. Two sinkages in one day!
So, I am right now reinstalling Chimeara, which I know will work.
I have looked on line and it seems that many people are having trouble installing Daedalus, for a number of reasons. I don’t know why they would replace something which worked reliably with something which often does not work at all… I sure hope that Devuan goes back to what they were doing for installation before.
Hi all, does anyone here have experience using #PostHog for user #analytics? I like that its #freesoftware and also there's a cost-free plan when running it "in the cloud"

The world’s first unkillable UEFI bootkit for Linux
Over the past decade, a new class of infections has threatened Windows users. By infecting the firmware that runs immediately before the operating system loads, these UEFI bootkits continue to run even when the hard drive is replaced or reformatted. Now the same type of chip-dwelling malware has been found in the wild for backdooring Linux machines.
Thank-you Intel
GhostBSD 24.10.1 Is Now Available

A practical Unix alternative to Linux
Found: RedHat Linux 7, as supplied by Oracle
https://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-isos.html
Notably, here we find installation ISOs and the "Red Hat compatible kernel" for RH Linux 7. I don't know of any other place to find it.
I upgraded my system overnight to #Fedora41. I seemed to be running low in the #RootPartiition and so I moved the directory in /var/lib/dnf, where all the downloaded new #rpm files are temporarily kept, to another partition and created a symbolic link to it from there to that location. After that, everything went smoothly. I do like the new dnf output, it's more informative than before.
The open secret of open washing • The Register

If you believe Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's AI large language model (LLM) Llama 3 is open source.
It's not, despite what he says. The Open Source Initiative (OSI) spells it out in the Open Source Definition, and Llama 3's license – with clauses on litigation and branding – flunks it on several grounds.

Free Software Is Under Attack! (Will You Help Defend It?)
Free software means that the users have the "FREEDOM" to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software...regardless of who they are or what their purpose for using the software might be. But their are those who want both "free software" and "open source software" to go away. But to do so, they must get rid of certain people, including Richard Stallman.
Anonymous activists that want to impose their view onto the whole world. Zealots!
