Re: systemd has made Debian unusable for me.
I looked at Devuan. It's not an option. It's an amateurish side project, from what I could see. I can't trust it to be around next month, nevermind a few years from now. At least the FreeBSD project has a mature, helpful community with a long track record of doing great work. I can trust the FreeBSD project. I can't trust the Devuan project.
Devuan has existed for 3 years, since the Exodus Declaration in November 2014.
It is supported by the non-profit organization Dyne.org.
It will be here, tomorrow, next month, next year, next decade. Believe it.You can find the Devuan community:
- On the Dev1 Galaxy forums.
- On the mailing lists at dyne.org
- On IRC, chat.freenode.net in the #devuan channel.Devuan is small compared to Debian, but its users are happy and eagerly awaiting the release of Devuan 2.0 (Ascii).

An IRC Channel for slashdot refugees
Post this on every story that pops up, even if it's already been posted. IRC for slashdot refugees. http://webchat.freenode.net/?c...

IRC - #slashdot-refugees (on FreeNode)
For those who know how to use an IRC client go to #slashdot-refugees on FreeNode. If you don't, use this handy web client and join anyway.
:) Commiserate and/or make plans in case this situation goes horribly wrong. :-/ -
Re:The best part about Slashdot...
Actually... I've created a channel on IRC called #slashdot-refugees (on FreeNode... there's even a web client. Some in the community might want to commiserate, discuss plans of keeping the community together into the future etc.. and a realtime medium might be a good way. It's 2am in Australia though, so although I'm in channel I won't be around for a few hours.

Re:Still holding out.
nobody uses IRC or Usenet anymore
I have dozens of friends and associates that I communicate with nearly exclusively on IRC. By nearly exclusively, I mean I might call them once every month or two, but I speak with them in IRC on a nearly daily basis. OFTC operates a ton of servers, and other outfits like freenode. Modern IRC is pretty feature rich; encryption, bouncers/relays, web-based clients, very rich native clients, and ANSI terminal clients (I use Irssi) are all supported.
Just using three degrees of separation from me, tens of thousands of people are using IRC at any given moment. Go further out in terms of separation and the number is much, much higher. Where did you get the idea that nobody uses IRC any more?
Email is a different story -- you can try to host your own mail server but it's a huge PITA to set up SPF records and whatnot to keep your outgoing mail from getting bounced.
How is one TXT or SPF record in DNS a huge PITA? It's incredibly simple. I host my own mail, along with mail for a bunch of other people and organizations. It's not that difficult, and my mail doesn't get bounced. My total involvement with my mail servers amounts to perhaps one hour per month, the total time taken to install security updates and make sure automated backups are running properly. If you don't want to invest this minimum of effort, that's fine, but please don't use the excuse that it's too difficult.

Re:The elephant in the room
Step by step !!,
We’re aware of the current use of non-free synthesis tools. But it dint mean, we're happy with.
So far the flashing process uses now free/open hardware and software, something that was not possible before.
The history don’t end here, there are very smart people working on some replacement for this missing free parts, but is Work In Progress, and requires more people to join and develop around it.
As in contrast the GNU compiler was no developed in a free/libre system from once. All require transition, and support, keep that mind :-)
If you are interested please join our irc channel #milkymist at freenode and tell us how you can help:

Re:it's an entire system
You are right, Really Very few components from Opencores, actually Wishbone core is a modified version from the conbus core from opencores. But some cores developed by the main developer during the process, like the navre cpu and hpdmc controller we're published in opencores as well. Feel free to ask more questions here or at the IRC Channel at Freenode #milkymist also follow the development of the project by github A Quick Webchat link for IRC Chat here too: http://webchat.freenode.net/?randomnick=1&channels=milkymist

Re:Mediacom... Gulf Coast Region
Assuming you're on Mediacom try going to http://freenode.net/asdfasdfasdfasdf You will not get freenode's default 404 error. You will get redirected to Mediacom even if you're opted-out. This is exactly how it works for me. I've been complaining to them for months.

Re:Probably true, even.
There are also plenty of Firefox vulnerabilities out there, they just don't get national headlines like IE does. Here's a current one.
This is not a exploit in firefox. This is a vurnabillity in some IRC servers. The Freenode people agree. They are moving to a new IRCd.

Re:Support Them
I experienced the same issues. Unfortunately, anyone running a Tor exit node goes on the list of active Tor exit nodes, which is visible to anyone.
As you said, many sites will block your IP if you are on this list -- maybe not explicitly because you are a Tor user, but perhaps based on blacklists they rely on third parties to come up with. The problem was first brought to my attention when my girlfriend complained she couldn't watch videos on NBC.com. I also noticed that The Pirate Bay did not seem to accept torrent uploads from Tor exit nodes.
However, the most annoying issue was that irc.freenode.org no longer allowed me to connect. They address Tor here, encouraging people to use their hidden service. Unfortunately, after following their instructions it did not work, and an email for help received no reply (yes, I could have/should have done more to contact the staff for help -- whatever).
I'm down for the struggle, but putting me on a public list of proxies so I can be, as you said, effectively blackmailed is not a good recipe for encouraging participation.
If you want to experiment with darknets and avoid being blacklisted, check out I2P. While you can reach the Internet at large via a few exit proxies, I2P is really meant to be self-contained.

It does seem to work for me. If you join #wine on Freenode at some point, I might be able to help.
If you're using Gentoo however, we may end up getting nowhere due to weirdness issues that occur on Gentoo. -
A somewhat official clarification
freenode generally blocks all tor connections to our normal servers. We have two systems for TOR access in place:
A normal hidden access node at mejokbp2brhw4omd.onion , which currently does not accept any new connections. Established connections are not affected.
A GPG-TOR system where every user has his or her own iline which can be accessed at 5t7o4shdbhotfuzp.onion . As you can generate throwaway keys, this keeps anonymity while allowing for accountability. This is the preferred access method and not affected by the TOR block.
You can find more information here or in #freenode on irc.freenode.net.

Re:Ubuntu drive partition
I encourage you to read about disk partitioning and then try to install Windows yourself. You'll see that the Windows installer is light years behind many GNU/Linux installers. Most users from the mass market are unable to install Windows themselves, and some times even to configure it properly through the control panel, not to say be able to work with Windows through its command line interface, and would of course be powerless to navigate in its predecessor, MS-DOS, even if they had to do that in order to save their lives! However, I'll agree that most OS installers out there, and not only GNU/Linux's, could be significantly improved in terms of user interface. But the fact is that an OS installer isn't supposed to teach you the basics. If you can't acquire this knowledge yourself, then you need to find a computer technician, knowledgeable friend, or member of the open-source community to do that work for you. I'm sure there are many GNU/Linux fans near you that would be happy to come and help you install any distro for you, even for free. The good thing with GNU/Linux and other similar systems like BSDs is that it's supported by a helpful community whose members don't need to call each other friends in order to offer some help, and this is also a good way to make our communities grow and teach new members the values of volunteerism, copyleft, etc that made GNU/Linux possible. So, for every question about GNU/Linux you have, your best option is to contact your local LUG (Linux User Group), usually through their mailing list, or join a GNU/Linux IRC chat channel (eg on Freenode) while you are doing an installation.

Specific Project or Movement as a Whole?
The bad news: It may be difficult to jump onboard a specific project (particularly one as complex as Linux or Firefox) solely as a technical writer. Documentation ranges from extremely technical (as in code comments) to quite understandable (as in FAQs on websites). In my experience, the more technical documentation is left for the developers and the more understandable documentation is left for the admins.
The good news: If you're creative, you'll find a fulfilling way to help. If you're only interested in supporting a particular project, you could find its official discussion channel and work your way up to being a channel operator. If you're interested in the movement as a whole, you could contribute to a more generic (non-project-specific) documentation site. Many such sites even have author's guides where you can RTFM about WTFM (Writing The Firkin' Manual).
Good luck! -
Re:OS "simplicity"

The point isn't "Free Ryzom"...
...The point is to create (or buy and free, in this case), a complete MMORPG gaming system. It's the MMORPG version of the Unreal Engine, for comparison's sake.
So the game wasn't that great. It's open source now, get a group of people together (a la Legend of the Green Dragon), and make a new world system based in the engine.
So it might take several servers and people to run the system. Set it up distributed, get someone to contribute the services of their 3DNS server somewhere, and now not only are you distributed, but you have geographical load balancing.
Commenters are talking about this as if the idea that a group of people on the IntarWebs can't democratically organize a large distributed server environment and keep it running the latest code and staffed with admins. I wouldn't mention that to the people at all of the various irc networks, who have been doing exactly that for years, you might discourage them and make them shut down networks that have been running for longer than a decade.
And even if the whole Massive part of the game doesn't take off, who's to say specialty environments won't crop up, with admin tools and pre-formed game world content, a la AD&D or GURPS Modules and Expansions, letting players run actual 3D immersive campaigns on a single server somewhere for relatively small groups of people. For that matter, the idea of online 3D Battletech with the whole army of people that I used to play with years ago, instead of going through all the work to build huge tables, seems like a pretty fun concept.
The fact that such a beast could be released to the public is a good thing, even if you didn't like what the front end (Ryzom) was; the backend is what's important here. It's like the Unreal engine - there's a lot of games using it. Some of them suck, some of them are pretty good, but the content, and the engine to support the content, are two separate things. Yes, the bad (in the opinion of some people) content comes with it, but so does the engine that will let people drive whatever content they want.

Open-source, safari, fundamentals, and flow
I suggest gaining some experience in free open-source software development. Goto high-priority projects assisted by GNU, or goto Savannah. Get an IRC account at FreeNode and meet other hackers.
Then, I suggest investing about $400 per year on a Safari subscription. This is a site where you can legally read O'Reilly IT e-books. It will come handy if you have a PDA, like HTC Universal with a 3G broadband connection for reading Safari while you commute (note: Here in Europe we commute by taking a taxi, riding a bus, or using a train, if you are in North America most probably you won't be able to use a PDA during commuting as you ought to drive, unless you are in New York City where mass transit is similar to Europe).
Finally, focus on the fundamentals. What's a queue and how it differs from an array? What is a relation? What is a finite state machine? What is a Turing machine, and what is a hypercube?
Armed with the fundamentals, assisted by a good e-books site like Safari, and practising on open-source projects, you will become a hacker in no time.
A caveat: Try to understand what kind of company your employer is. Do they pass the Joel Test? Do they have good Management and do they use Software Engineering methodologies, and if not why not? Many companies are just hiring a bunch of underpaid engineers, put them in a noisy environment, and tell them to write code all day. This is a recipe for bugs! Good companies act on bugs proactively, via test-driven development, etc.
Another important thing you must achieve is the state of flow, coding in the zone, or hack-mode. It is, in fact, more important to be able to achieve flow easily rather than have advanced degrees in computers.

Q&A
christel ok, im going to go +m for a moment
christel and we will try answer some of the questions you've asked after a minute of silence
christel Ok, first off, this is not a hoax
christel Rob was riding his bike on tuesday when he was hit by a car, he has spent the last few days at the neuro trauma ICU at a local hospital
christel where he has been in a coma
christel the news reached us this morning that Rob passed away early today
beu to repeat for those just joining us, this sadly is not a hoax; Rob was riding his bike on tuesday when he was hit by a car, he has spent the last few days at the neuro trauma ICU at a local hospital... news reached us this morning that Rob passed away early today
christel Rob is survived by wife Debbie and son Benjamin
christel and we ask that you all respect their privacy at this difficult time
christel Robs funeral is most likely to be monday afternoon, although we have yet to get confirmation as Debs is waiting to hear from the MEs office that it can go ahead as planned
christel and for those local, wishing to show their respects at his funeral, we ask that you email staff@freenode.net and we will try direct you as we can
christel We will take some questions now and try answer them in channel, it would be appreciated if those with questions message beu, and we will answer on channel
christel thank you
christel the first question we've had is "What happens to freenode?"
beu to answer the "who verified this?" question, members of freenode staff have been in contact with Rob's family over the past few days
christel it is Debs wishes that freenode keeps running as close to normal as possible, and we will be working with the PDPC board to ensure that the network keeps running
beu we are currently formulating an announcement and hope to have it online soon, in addition to an online "book of condolences"
christel it has also been asked why lilos client is still connected
christel i am sure you will all agree that at this point in time, we feel uncomfortable killing his client and find the mere idea rather morbid
christel Robs nicknames will be quarantined to prevent abuse.
christel A lot of people have asked how they can help
christel Debs requests has been that people who knew Rob could donate to PDPC in his memory, or those wishing to make a more general contribution could give something to a bicycle safety campaign in their area.
beu this question is cropping up a *lot*: yes, sadly rob did indeed pass away this morning, no, this is not a hoax
christel we will also try to coordinate so that we can get some things together for Debs and Benjamin, but at this point in time she has no particular wishes in that regard. Those wishing to help his family however, are encouraged to get in touch with us per email (again staff@freenode.net) and we will try connect you with those in the area that are coordinating support.
christel "Should lilo's fellow Jews sit shiva for 30 days as is tradition?"
christel I am not jewish, and I dont know much about jewish traditions, so i will leave that up to each and every one of you individually
christel "Where, as in city and state, would the funeral be?
christel Rob lived in Houston, Texas and the funeral will be held there
christel "was lilo wearing a helmet and was the car driver responsible? if they are responsible will they be charged?"
christel lilo was not wearing a helmet, we are unsure at this point about what will happen wrt the driver of the car
beu we are working on making a formal announcement on http://freenode.net/, and are currently setting up an online "book of condolences". our current eta is: soon.
christel from what we know, it was a hit and run
christel and the driver has not yet been found
beu Rob passed away on the morning (texas time) of Saturday 16th 2006
christel Any other questions?
beu where Rob is Rob Levin, who most of us knew as lilo
christel I am recieving a lot of priv messages, and I am afra -

Re:Freenode.
Note: ## instead of # for channels means that it is a help or 'about' channel.
Actually, this is a new way of doing things on freenode from about a year ago or so. Channels with only one # denotes an official channel for the project, where core developers often hang out and help, having project meetings and so on. Examples are #docbook, #svn and #mediawiki. Channels starting with "##" are unofficial channels for a project, used for helping out for this specific software/distro/whatever, for example ##linux. More info about this here.

He's invented IRC.It seems to me that some sort of "group chat" would be better at harnessing this Wisdom-of-Crowds stuff. Instead of just instant messaging one person to another, you could also provide a chat room - wait, I know, let's call them "channels"! And you can join them and ask questions and maybe learn something from the answers to others questions in the "message board community spirit" but in real time! We could call it Internet Relay Chat.
Take Freenode - an IRC network dedicated to various sorts of community tech support (and, well, general community collaboration for sites like Wikipedia and such). A notable bias towards open-source projects and technologies, admittedly, but the same idea applies.
So what's Qunu got over IRC then? A fluffy little search-engine?

Verse
Heh. As a full-time developer of the related technology, I'm glad the mention of Verse survived into the blurb!
Verse is a low-level data model, network protocol and programming API for dealing with distributed applications involving 3D graphics and audio. It is completely open and distributed under a BSD license so you can use it in any kind of application.
For details, see the top-level Uni-Verse site (toplevel page about the current research project). If you're a developer, perhaps heading directly to the Verse pages is more interesting. You could also check out the specification for the Verse core technology. Or why not just surf the CVS and read some code?
:)If you have questions, you could drop by #verse on FreeNode, or use the mailing list. More developers would certainly not hurt.

Well, we do get spikes, they just don't hurtReally obvious spikes are caused by Yahoo Japan. Extremely fast onset, 300-500 hits per second in less than a minute, then fast decay time over a few hours. One page so the Squids do an excellent job of caching it. The apache web servers/page builders don't normally show a spike at all from that. Slashdot has obviously slower onset, though it's still quite fast. TV also seems to cause fast spikes but we havne't seen enough while we've been able to chart it - previously had the caps set too low for a good measure. Newspapers are far more gentle in their load properties. The Tsunami coverage caused a general rise throughout the day for several weeks.
On the Slashdot/RSS thing, RSS is getting quite a reputaton for really unpleasant surge loads. Something we're factoring in to anything we doing relation to RSS, designing for caching. Not really a surprise if Slashdot has had to do some tweaking.
We were suffering a bit today from the combination of Slashdot, Wired News (Wikipedia Becomes a Way of Life) and Spiegel Online with an overloaded image server. Image server was bouncing around 100% utilization, kept some pages in the queue too long and that hurt overall apache capacity. We've seen far worse and we're getting rid of that bottleneck. As a temporary measure we've asked people to remove some pretty but not content images from a few places. Won't last long, though.
On the fund-raising side, the drive ended early after exceeding its $75,000 target. It's currently at around $95,000 probably with some data still to arrive, close to reaching $100,000, my initial thought of a target. Really good news for those of us doing the capacity and reliability work but it'll take a few months for it to be visible. Thanks to everyone here who helped!
Anyone who wants to spend a bit of money on another useful project might consider sending a bit to Freenode.net, the IRC host. Among other things they host our channels, including our offsite 24/7 IRC NOC and a superb MySQL channel, regularly inhabited by MySQL employees. Providing good service to lots of other open source projects.

Begging for money?
It's easy to complain about "all this begging for money"---but where is it? The nonprofit org that runs freenode has a fundraiser once a year to raise a small salary and some incidentals, but nobody even knows it's going on unless they look at the website or see it on some channel topic.

gallery 1.4.x and WordPress = great photoblog
i mainly use gallery 1.4.x - http://gallery.sf.net/ - and WordPress - http://wordpress.org/ - to create my photoblog. i host them on the same server and subdomain so its easier to reference.
a sample page can be found at http://scaturan.negimaki.com/blog/index.php/archiv es/2004/08/27/weekend-sleep/
both scripts are VERY easy to setup. ideally, you only need Apache's mod_rewrite, a mySQL account, lots of webspace and netPBM to get it up and running. altogether, the setup takes less than 5 minutes. but that's if you know what you're doing. read the docs.

#cassini Chat available to all...
We have a room on the irc.freenode.net servers called #cassini which is available to all who are interested in the Cassini project. Here you will find a wide range of interests discussed, from the informal to the most scientific details of the mission. Some of the Cassini staff have shown interest in participating to further support the project's public interest so don't be surprized to meet them there.
We also support the ' Maestro ' program which is the Public-Outreach software created for the Mars Exploration Rover Project from JPL . As a result, we helped maintain the #maestro room (also on freenode.net) which is still in operation today.
With such high interest building as Cassini-Huygens approaches orbital insertion and the Phoebe flyby, we expect a bigger rush in the next weeks. Join in and share the experience!
If you are not sure how to do 'IRC' there are many good primers online to help and you can visit http://freenode.net for details about connecting as well as links to assist you to set things up to chat online.
See all "/.'ers" there...
