Voidling-phoneHowdy21:14
Voidling-phoneRandom question, is there a way to hide my internet usage from my ISP? Just found out that my close friend who has access has been tracking me..21:17
fluffywolf1) call cops, 2) switch ISPs.  you could use a VPN, but that's not the real problem.21:18
fsmithreduse tor browser21:26
Voidling-phonei dont want to call cops on him, hes a close friend.. but he really disappointed me21:26
Voidling-phonecant alao change isp either21:26
Voidling-phonei guess vpn is my only option21:26
fluffywolfif he's abusing his access as an employee of the ISP, they will very much want to fire him.21:28
fsmithredyour friend has access via your computer or does he work for the ISP?21:28
Voidling-phonehe knows someone from isp21:28
fsmithredyour history will still be accessible if that person gets fired, but your friend won't know it anymore. Just the rest of the world.21:29
debdogthat is _very_ creepy. I wouldn't bother about the outcome reporting this ISP emplyee21:30
fluffywolfever consider that maybe friends don't stalk people by bribing ISP employees to monitor their internet?21:30
debdogroght21:31
debdogright21:31
sixwheeledbeastI wouldn't ever trust an ISP anyway, tor, vpn or switching providers are options it depends what information you don't mind them having.21:33
scorpion2185[m]Hello, I am trying runit how do you restart lightdm?21:34
fluffywolfthis sounds too much like the type of thing that leads up to a missing person feature on the 6:00 news...21:35
debdogscorpion2185[m]: without knowing, something like /etc/init.d/lightdm restart21:36
scorpion2185[m]is that how runit is used?21:37
scorpion2185[m]i know that is has sv up service21:38
scorpion2185[m]or it was sv service up21:38
scorpion2185[m]but that didn't work21:38
debdogoh, runit, sorry.21:38
debdogI was too enthusiastic21:38
* debdog flogs himself21:39
scorpion2185[m]~/bin path,in ~/.profile,  is not source I had to add it to .bashrc21:40
fsmithredscorpion2185[m], runit in debian and devuan will use the sysvinit scripts if they are present and if there are no runit scripts for the service.21:42
fsmithredand only a few runit scripts are enabled by default. Did you add any yourself?21:42
debdoghttps://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Runit says "sv restart /var/service/[...]"21:42
fsmithredOr did you install the new package that adds some scripts? I don't recall the name.21:42
scorpion2185[m]i am new to Devuan and to runit , I never used sysvinit21:43
fsmithredI think just the service name works (without the path)21:43
fsmithredcoming from a systemd distro?21:43
scorpion2185[m]yes thanks for saving us from soystemd21:45
scorpion2185[m]fsmithred no I didn't add any script21:45
scorpion2185[m]> runit in debian and devuan will use the sysvinit scripts if they are present and if there are no runit scripts for the service.21:45
scorpion2185[m]so do I use sysvinit command?21:45
scorpion2185[m]fsmithred: no21:46
fsmithreduh, yeah, I think the sysvinit command will work.21:46
fsmithred /etc/init.d/lightdm restart21:47
scorpion2185[m]I'll check `sv restart /var/service/[...]"` too21:47
fsmithredrunit-services is the new package. It's in daedalus and ceres (testing and unstable)21:47
fsmithredjust service name, not /var/service/whatever (pretty sure it doesn't exit in devuan)21:47
fsmithredI'll get a link to a discussion about it21:48
scorpion2185[m]how is testing on Devuan? stable ends to have old software21:48
fsmithreddaedalus is same as debian testing, which is already in freeze and will probably be released in the next couple months.21:51
fsmithredso yeah, it works well. There are still a lot of updates coming through.21:51
fsmithredok, I don't know which discussion on the forum I wanted to link. There are too many.21:52
fsmithredfound it. This is long, but there's some good stuff in here. The debian maintainer for runit is in this conversation. https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=371621:55
fsmithredscorpion2185[m], ^^^21:55
fsmithredinstall runit-services before you start adding your own runscripts.21:57
scorpion2185[m]what about dinit?21:57
fsmithredthis post describes the runit-services package with a list of the ones that are included. https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=41084#p4108421:59
fsmithredI've heard of dinit. Talk to stevelitt about it.21:59
scorpion2185[m]ok thanks22:06
scorpion2185[m]Devuan installer overwrote Debian EFI folder22:07
scorpion2185[m]I thought that something was wrong since I couldn't see it on refind22:08
scorpion2185[m]i now deleted Debian from the hard disk but I think that it should really make a devuan folder instead in /boot/efi/EFI/22:09
scorpion2185[m]on refind it has Debian logo and so I reinstalled Devuan since I didn't see it22:10
fsmithredsorry, I got disconnected.22:17
fsmithredI'm not sure if refind sees devuan or thinks it's debian.22:18
* scorpion2185[m] uploaded an image: (118KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/NuHUXStbpoMUBvcoZubbhQNj/13.png >22:18
scorpion2185[m]Since Devuan used the /boot/efi/EFI folder refind shows the Debian logo and it's confusing22:19
fsmithredI think the devuan installer does make a debian folder that just redirects to a devuan folder.22:19
fsmithredand I'm pretty sure that behavior is a workaround for secure boot22:20
scorpion2185[m]file /boot/efi/EFI/debian/22:20
scorpion2185[m]/boot/efi/EFI/debian/: directory22:20
fsmithredis there a devuan dir?22:20
scorpion2185[m]no22:21
