specingnemo: wtf, why not minetest?!00:05
nemospecing: because we've been running this server for a decade?00:42
gnarfacenemo: hypothesizing that the kernel from unstable isn't necessary, i suggest trying to debootstrap ceres into a chroot so you can install openjdk 16 and the minecraft server in there02:19
masonMinetest is a bit buggy.03:31
nemognarface: I'm thinking I should just forcibly install the .deb and see what happens ☺04:23
nemognarface: nothing system critical probably requires java04:23
nemonot to mention, I *think* java versions are packaged to install side by side04:24
nemoseems fine so far04:27
gnarfaceyea it might work, i just avoid that type of behavior because usually it leads to failed release upgrades after i've forgotten doing it04:33
nemoI 'spose.  shouldn't be too hard to remove though04:34
nemothankfully it had no weird dependencies04:34
nemoor at least. the dependencies it had were on standard chimaera stuff04:34
nemoonce it makes it to chimaera I'll do it properly04:34
mdtmason: nice writing, does that mean i can replace elogind by seatd? can you suggest that?09:12
mdt(it doesnt conflict with elogind, does it even work alongside with elogind?) as an old-school-unixer i am not an expert on all these new login deamons today :/09:14
Walexmdt: Not many I think are experts on "all these new login deamons today" because they are wonderfully underdocumented, a bit like the various services under MS-Windows, that is the model that FreeDesktop.org are following.11:43
paprikaduring boot, using openrc, with no ethernet cable attached, it tries to configure DHCP for about a minute, how do I disable/skip this?12:10
lts-paprika: the answer depends on your dhcp client. Either it might be possible to fork that to the background somehow, or at minimum it will support a timeout variable. Try "grep timeout /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf" for example12:18
Walexpaprika: or you can disable the networking service, or you can deconfigure the ethernet interface.12:20
Walexpaprika: are you perhaps asking how to *detect* that there is no cable attached and then skip DHCP if there is no cable attached?12:20
masonmdt: I haven't tried it yet but I plan to. I don't run elogind because I don't feel like running systemd on my systems.17:40
masonI like seatd's philosophy.17:40
Guest84Hi18:21
Guest84Apt package downloading speed is too slow I tried to change mirror but still very slow like never cross 150kbps18:22
onefanghttp://veritas.devuan.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html might be useful, and / or https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt to help pick a nearby mirror.18:26
Guest84ty I will later18:31
mdtmason: yes, their writing sounds great but `apt purge elogind libelogind0 libpam-elogind` removes half of the system - libelogind0 seems to be kind of important. so i wonder how to run a system without elogind22:56
fsmithredmdt, you can run a system without elogind pretty easily if you start with a minimal install and avoid task-*-desktop package. Install stuff manually.23:01
fsmithredavoiding libelogind0 or libsystemd0 is not really possible without doing some extra trickery.23:02
