Kernel Upgrades Completed

Posted on May 29, 2021

The kernel upgrades are completed and all NFS and NIS connections have been verified. The upgrade was relatively uneventful. Everything is back up.

I am in the process of upgrading vps3 because the version of Devuan has reached end of life and it no longer has repositories from which to receive security updates. At the conclusion of this process there will be about 1/2 hour downtime for it to image it.

The free public services friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, and nextcloud.eskimo.com/ are back in service.

@John Doe I don't like Devuan from a security standpoint, they are slow to fix problems. Another distro that can run without systemd is mxlinux, better maintained but they don't like 3rd party software (though nothing physically prevents you from using it, I do, PPAs and all).

@John Doe Yea only thing I don't like about it is developers attitude towards third parties, they are very territorial. They seem to forget that all this open source stuff has licenses specifically permitting modification and redistribution so they have no recourse other than to bitch.

@John Doe I use Ubuntu for my infrastructure, we have an mx-linux shell server for those customers who like it but the majority prefer ubuntu, debian, mint, centos7, centos8 pretty much in that order, manjaro, jelinux, and centosstream mostly go ignored.

@John Doe I've played with it since I started out in Xenix 1985, then SunOS 3.5 and 4.1 which is BSD based. BSD has better networking if you are using regular 1500 byte packets but I don't like the way the kernel allocates memory and that's so critical to the efficiency of everything I do not find it acceptable.
