    vmisev replied to the thread Sudo rant.
    What I do care about is that X11 survives, get fixes and upgrades. ATM XLibre is only project that cares about that as well. As for the security/sudo I like it, I don't find it to be complicated nor hard to configure. I do understand that...

    The problem with tech geeks, specially computer nerds, is that we have an opinion on just about everything: anthropology, psychology, quantum physics and also politics. My parents escaped the largest right-wing dictatorship in Europe, that of...

    That's true. I have been guilty of that in the past myself, except I kept to the topic of the thread. Other times, a thread will have a theme, and they post that they want a different theme, so I'll suggest for them to start a new thread. They...

    I think that computing-related politics are OK to an extent. Like the "Cathedral and Bazaar" paper tried to explain the model of software availability and options people have for what software they can install on their metal. It was an...

    Personally, I don't give 2 eF's about politics nor politicians, up, down, right, left nor middle – I just don't believe in any of that 💩. But, I do love mockery and puns, so I'm having real struggle with myself (because I know that it will be...

    The “I have no name!” prompt happens because your jail’s /etc/passwd and /etc/group don’t have entries for UID 0 and GID 0/5. Easiest fix: inside the jail run: apt-get update apt-get install passwd That will populate the missing files. Or, if...

    If you want to run an entire Linux system inside a jail, check the LinuxJails page on the FreeBSD Wiki. That’s the guide you’re looking for. The Linuxulator page is more about the underlying compatibility layer itself. For jails, Debian/Ubuntu...

    Is it fair to imply someone has a political stance/agenda, either personal or around the project, if the only hint you have is them using a twist on a Trumps motto, a motto which has become meme from day 1, and has been bent around for usage by...

    I guess it shouldn't be too hard to mod port, KDE 6.4.5 works okay with XLibre on Gentoo (OpenRC), OpenMandriva and Fedora (only 3 that I'm personally testing in VM just for that combo)

    An additional remark. IF you do not need the combination of the Nvidia proprietary driver and the open-source drm-61-kmod driver, the use of the full proprietary Nvidia x11/nvidia-driver should work. For example, for Xorg you don't need the...

    All versions supported by ports. No exception. In your case, x11/nvidia-driver-470 depends on x11/nvidia-kmod-470. "Corresponding" is the keyword. In detail, Makefile of master port x11/nvidia-driver would have RUN_DEPENDS=...

    In Türkiye they made few movies about Zagor (plese see #8) on a budget that was enough to buy peanuts for the crew, but not enough to buy them drinks (early '70s). I couldn't understand a single word spoken there, but I was ROFLing the whole...

    Here in Belgium we have a tradition of comic strip. I explain people have an idea, but no budget. To make a movie you need a large budget, so they make a comic strip. "Suske & Wiske" in french "Bob & bobette". "de rode riddder", "le chevalier rouge".
