Prepping a flash drive and a DVD of #CentOS 8.2 to send to #sonTwo. I should probably also send #Debian or #Devuan or #Ubuntu, but if he gets the first server running, that's fine for now.

On the laptop upgrade project: The #Kubuntu machine is “in process”. The #Debian machine updated from 9 (Stretch?) to 10.5 (Buster?). The #NixOS and the #Fedora machine are in progress. The OpenSuse machine has not been started. The #Devuan machine ran out of disk space, so I’ll redo it from scratch.

I’ve had the #Debian and #Devuan machines off because of the heat, but since I’m reinstalling Kubuntu on the laptop, I decided to go through and see which ones need major updates and run them.
The Debian machine is upgrading to from 9 (Stretch) to 10 (Buster). The Devuan machine is upgrading from 2.x (Ascii) to 3.x (Beowulf). After they finish, I’ll look at the #Fedora and #OpenSuse machines.

I really do wish people would refer to #Debian and #Ubuntu and #Devuan (and their derivatives) releases by their version numbers instead of their nicks. If necessary, put the nick in a parenthetical. I can figure out that version 10 is newer than version 9, and that 20.04 is newer than 18.04, but what the heck does a "Ravenous Rabbit" nick tell me?

I still haven't walked over to the #Fedora machine to look at timezonectl. That does not exist on my #Debian / #Devuan / #Ubuntu machines.

@1iceloops123 Yes, #Debian / #Devuan is easy, almost as easy as #Ubuntu or #LinuxMint, but it seems more reliable.

Devuan ASCII 2.1 released. https://devuan.org/os/debian-fork/ascii-point-release-announce-112119

Apparently my !Devuan box was at #Jessie v1.0 already. Must have been part of the updates last week.

♻ @pati !Devuan Jessie 1.0 has been released: https://devuan.org/

@guy@gnusocial.no My main concern with #systemd is the complexity. Yes, startup scripts may be shorter and easier to read, but putting so much functionality in one component seems like a poor choice for an OS designed around the philosophy of "Do only one thing, and do it well". That said, I've never had a problem on any of my computers attributable to systemd (I have !Debian and …

I'm not sure !Devuan yet has the legendary stability of !Debian, nor a full suite of non- #SystemD applications in its repositories. But I'll be working my computers over to Devuan when it's a good fit.

!Devuan Jessie stable release candidate (1.0.0-RC) announced: This Devuan Jessie release candidate is as close as we can get to a "long term support" universal base distribution free from systemd, in the original spirit of Debian. The final Devuan Jessie release will follow shortly and then we will turn our attention to "Ascii", the current testing branch. https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20170421.170025.79b43629.en.html

I'm running !Devuan/Jessie on an old computer mostly to play podcasts. I find the repostitories are old/incomplete, so I keep intending to update it to Devuan/Ascii

Good. Which file system did you pick? FAT32? LEAN? EXT3? EXT4? NTFS? XFS? UFS? HPFS? Did you also upgrade your old #WinXP / #Linspire dual-boot to a modern OS like #Devuan? #time_to_upgrade

♻ Silverwizard @HippyWizard: @BobJonkman #Devuan has been good to me on my gaming box in general - not missing too much - but definitely slower to get builds ¶ via #Twitter

@kat@quitter.se @benfell@cybernude.org I'm trying out !Devuan in a VM. So far, it seems that the Devuan repositories aren't quite as rich as the !Debian repositories. Some non-repository .deb packages (eg. #FreeSwitch) have #SystemD dependencies, and won't install on Devuan. But my choice of init system is only limited by the amount of work I'm willing to do to recompile packages...
-
OK, it's !tzaf for me. Can't install @Freeswitch on Debian Stretch because of an unmet dependency for libssl 1.0.0 (>=1.0.0) since Stretch has libssl 1.0.2 (but that should work, right?) And I can't install @Freeswitch on !Devuan because @Freeswitch has an unmet dependency on #SystemD. So, time for bed.

Hey !Fedgroups, I thought we needed a !Devuan group, like we need an init.d based OS
-
Could be that nobody sent the #Devuan news to the !Debian or !Linux groups. Speaking of that, do we need a !Devuan in the !Fedgroups?
