Slashdot Mirror
Devuan.org Now Points To 'Pwned' Page With Gopher URLs (devuan.org)
"DEVUAN.ORG HAS BEEN PWNED" reads a new message at the home page for Devuan (a fork of Debian without systemd) -- which re-redirects to a new page named pwned.html, reports Slashdot reader DevNull127:
In all capital letters, its carefully-indented message (complete with an ascii-art logo) now informs visitors that "the web sucks -- JavaScript sucks -- browsers suck." Posting the URLs to several gopher sites, it adds that "Gopher is the way -- gopher is the future."
"Kiss port 80 goodbye. Join the revolution on port 70."
The attackers identify themselves as "Green Hat Hackers," a term generally understood to mean ambitious newbie hackers who want to improve their skills. "Stop the madness," continues their message, which appeared just hours before the first day of April.
"Get yourself a gopher client."

lol, Linux sucks
Good joke. Some work was done...
.....? TF does this have to do with gopher?
Also, no gopher in Federal prison. Sorry Trump traitors.
Linux is the best!!!!
... not wrong, y'know?
"The web sucks -- JavaScript sucks -- browsers suck"
I agree.
It just keeps getting worse!
I'd have no problem with news editors deliberately posting that shit to get written warnings. It's a god damn scourge on the internet.
Looks like I'm getting some extra work done today.
Time to close the browser for near 48 hours (time zones drag this garbage out longer)
Assuming this is a joke one hell of an irresponsible way to go about implementing it.
Redirects are being applied to all of their subdomains not just main website and all resources are being unconditionally blanket redirected. Even requests for things that are not HTML documents.
The site also advertises quad A records but IPv6 access is being blocked.
Christmas is from mid November through December.
Black Friday is really no more as retailers play leap frog to beat the others, about one day earlier each year.
Now April Fools day is on March 31st.....
Guess I should avoid Slashdot for the next 24 hours while it posts nothing but lame crap.
Checked altavista. Seems to take foeva!
Interesting clue they are!
Sent as ripples into the electromagnetic field. No single photon has been harmed in the process.
Where can I find a good gopher client to joint the revolution? I'm looking for one that is free with lots of ads so I feel comfortable.

If you're not dialing into a BBS at 300 baud to download library files after posting a few stupid forum posts just to get enough credits for that likely fake copy of The Anarchist's Cookbook then I don't know what you're doing.

I know it has been quite a long time since I've used a Linux distro without SystemD... But was that REALLY what it looked like!? It has been what... five? maybe ten! decades since I switched to SystemD, my memory isn't the best since those dark green times!
There are 2 types of OS: [a] with System-D [b] without System-D.
[a] is Debian.
[b] is Devuan.
[a] wanted that [b] must be extinguished.
[b] is being hacked by [a].
[a] is madness for damn hackers supported by the US government or the three-letter agencies.
[b] is hope for peaceful people.
[a] is evil.
[b] is good.
[a] wanted no another alternative than only [a].
[b] is the alternative to [a].
There are two types of open-sourced OS.
[a] Those with a shitty name.
[b] Those with an even shittier name.
Congratulations to the FOSS Marketing team for another fucking "win".
Without sounding like a nut?
Look at Debian/systemd: Totat nuts.
But does the public think they are?
No! Because they know how to talk!
Even when doing shit like this, do they manage to drag their enemy... which, note, is the victim here(!)... into the dirt, instead of themselves.
And I know you might as well be a false flag troll. But then again, you might not!
So: Stop "defending" my side. You are making it look bad!
(And for the record: I'm programming my own independent user space for Linux/BSD. Which will contain all that is good from traditional init and Unix philosophies, *and* the bits that are good from systemd [not much, but one key one] and Android and Plan9. Judge me by that!)
Yeah, I read that after midnight. My midnight.
Link?
Devuan should not be considered a serious distribution and should be avoided. Thanks.
Most slashdot readers are probably not at risk, but not all are safe. I would have figured that the link in OP would be to a screenshot, but nope, it is directly to the compromised website. While efforts may have been made by the editor at the time of publication to verify a lack of attempted attacks by that website, there is no guarantee that it would remain safe and plenty of reason to assume that it might not. Isn't not spreading suspicious links and emails one of the first things we tell people when giving them basic internet safety advice?
My sig doesn't address Anons, sigs aren't visible to them.
All roads eventually lead you back to Minnesota. But at least the women there are strong, the men good looking, and the children above average.

Devuan sounds like Debian's non-union, Mexican equivalent.
i tried devuan, it is half-assed and hardly worth the trouble, antiX is a better non-systemd fork of debian, all these non-systemd distros should pool their resources and just come up with 2 or 3 distros to satisfy the users, one distro copycats arch, one distro copycats debian, and one copycats slackware but since slackware is already non-systemd it would be pointless

....when you realize that you prefer the Gopher version to the average modern website design. I hope they keep it past the 1st of April. It makes me feel younger.
Didn't know about this one. Thanks for the heads up.
slow to respond and hard to debug.
I'm setting up a gopher page for my business today! No snark.
April fools :-P
You're welcome & it upset a plan I had: I was going to approach UBlock's folks to "team up" w/ 'em!
UBlock imitated my use of hosts (much later) & provide NO DIRECT dns benefits hosts do & use more vs. hosts to do nearly the same job (adblocking - hosts block malware too).
(E.G. Avoid DNS requestlog tracking, kaminsky redirect dns poisoning - BAD now e.g. US DHS issues DNS redirect is HUGE danger (not w/ hosts vs.) https://threatpost.com/gov-war... & ICANN ISSUES SAME WARNING https://tech.slashdot.org/stor... & DNS down)
UBlock doesn't populate hosts as my program does afaik.
* Would have been a good combo (though UBlock uses more & does less vs. hosts (hosts make it redundant & run in faster kernelmode vs. SLOWER usermode compounded by messagepass overheads + resource consumption addons create in browsers (worse if you 'stack' a few)).
APK
P.S.=> Proves JEWGLE has to "MOVE GOALPOSTS" to try (& FAIL) @ defeating hosts (makes me laugh, they haven't)... apk
Bootcamps from this small blue Planet produce yearly armies, by night, of incompetent web developers. Aka coder monkeys ha ha. And who don't give a crap on quality of their work and impact on browser.
Pour state of the web it is done not by browser in special, but by the websites quality. Also search engines doesn't penalize in any way resources hogging, CPU, memory hogging, mean waste of resources used by the websites. They should be the first who raise the alarm signal, Google. Also impact in energy consumption is significant. Or more precisely terrible. Stupid. Websites load tones of completely useless features, overloaded with tones of graphics, preprocessed CSS or JS frameworks which dependency track other JS dependency (NoT vanilla Js).
Nor Mozilla not Google do not provide some advanced integrated profilers or debuggers for dynamically resource monitorisation of browser loads. Or easily logging those measurements. A few blank page will take around 1GByte of RAM!!!???
Firefox for Android it's a disaster. And on long tetm it's toasted. Unfortunately :|
It's April 1 somewhere.
The real "Libtards" are the Libertarians!
this is what freedom in free software means
you can do as many distros you like
and it probably is NOT, the supposed hackers picked a really stupid day to do this; it would be simplicity itself for the Devuan folks to fix it just in time for April 2nd, then pretend it was a prank THEY pulled, that they were not hacked and it was all their idea all along.
yea I had a chance on trying Firefox on Android but installed Brave on the guy's smart phone instead. Scared about out of memory but also mobile size for website isn't tested on Firefox. Would have it been a 4GB-6GB-8GB RAM phone I would have installed Firefox though.
Just like Stephen Spielbergo!
Why is this post -1? Okay, the shot at Jews is low (seriously, since when did Jews have anything to do with Google/ABC corp? Cmon now) but the rest of the content is on-point.
APK isn't wrong about this stuff.
+1 Informative.
Lennart, was it you?

Just install "libpam-elogind-compat" from experimental in buster/sid and you get almost the entire Debian distro without systemd.
OS/2 haters, Devuan haters. So much hate on Slashdot today. I guess I'll have to find a less bigoted website. 4chan???
Yeah, but it's that "almost" that is often the problem.
Usually that's the bit you need for your own activities.

See subject: Turning 'em into AD MACHINES (look @ what was done to UBlock by Google https://www.bleepingcomputer.c... LIMITING it to a mere 30k entries (chickenfeed & INSUFFICIENT by far on purpose))!
* MS tried to on hosts from MS - I confronted their "Windows Client Performance Division Mgr" on it on /.: Late 2008 patch stopped you from using 0 vs. 0.0.0.0 or WORSE in 127.0.0.1 making for SLOWER loading files + slower internal parse/load during programmatic File Open/Read-Write/Close-Flush cycles & he agreed I was right http://slashdot.org/comments.p... )
APK
P.S.=> Part 2 on MODERN BROWSER being turned into AD MACHINES next... apk
Now JEWgle "BRIBED" FireFox (who didn't fully "obey") & their own Chromium SUBVERSION in Chrome try to use some STUPID redundant DNS cache list 1st vs. hosts!
STUPID!
Especially the redundant WASTE & in SLOWER usermode!
DUMB again for another thing!
Why subvert a FASTER kernelmode native TCP/IP stack w/ 45++ yrs. of refinement in it that WORKS or even systemd/launchd already doing that in a Windows-like slower usermode dnscache client (busted on larger hosts files & other security issues too).
Easy to get around though via:
FF about:config
network.dnsCacheEntries 0
network.trr.mode to 5 (SHUTS IT OFF)
network.trr.uri (set to 208.67.222.222)
Chrome also has a way to turn this off, just turn "Data Saver" off (credit green1 https://tech.slashdot.org/comm... )
APK
P.S.=> Lastly: JavaScript BLOWS (purveyor of all tracking, massive slowup, & MALWARE galore, even in ADS) - WebASM will be WORSE ... apk
See subject: The reason it's downmodded is to HIDE TRUTH. JEWgle=jews http://www.jewornotjew.com/pro... sergey brin's a jew pulling JEW TRICKS on UBlock https://www.bleepingcomputer.c... also trying to on hosts in a STUPID redundant WASTEFUL way https://idle.slashdot.org/comm... because the JEWS know it is part of their GOLD intake annoying, tracking, infecting & SLOWING users.
I give users what they want in more speed/security/reliability & anonymity (so does UBlock but more wastefully & not doing DNS bennies hosts do) - JEWgle does the OPPOSITE!
* Sure shows since UBlock was threatening their SHEKLE intake https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...
(Thanks for the compliment)
APK
P.S.=> FACT & they can DOWNMOD HIDE my posts of FACTS all day & I just REPOST to RUN THEM DRY of their abused 'downmodpoints', lol (works, inevitably, every time - outthinking & outsmarting + JUST PLAIN "OUTING" them)... apk
Just checked it, and I got the devuan home page just fine
I run it on my servers, and I've never had a bit of trouble. And it runs all of the critical infrastructure I want it to. *go figure*
Nor Mozilla not Google do not provide some advanced integrated profilers or debuggers for dynamically resource monitorisation of browser loads. Or easily logging those measurements.
I don't know about Chrome, but have you never pressed F12 in Firefox before?
you mean like Senor Spielbergo?
