New blog post: Freeing a VPS from systemd with Devuan

What to do when you can't install a #systemdfree distribution on your VPS because it doesn't support custom ISOs? Well, I recently migrated a Debian VPS to #Devuan, a distribution based on #Debian that lets you choose your init system. In this article, I will talk about the migration process, and I will give my first impressions about Devuan after using it for a few days.

Testing Gimp 3 Out...

I am testing #Gimp 3 out (#appimage) to see how I can integrate it in my new workflow.

The new #GEGL framework is much better of anything else, but still in rough shape, anyway I am totally impressed, potentially GEGL can do almost anything, now it is just a matter of time (and love 🥰).

Exporting in #JPG, #JXL and #TIFF in #CMYK is feasible although not so intuitive, however #ImageMagick was unable to convert the last two in PDF... I am on #Devuan stable which means #Debian stable, my #ImageMagick version might miss new features.

You can apply GEGL operations on a group and those are inherited by the sub-layers, and this is good and expected.

I had some confusion while exporting in grayscale. The soft proofing wasn't working even though active and the dialog would asked me to save in CMYK which doesn't make sense.

The whole topic about CMYK, besides Gimp itself, looks very confusing to me. I need CMYK because my software, for instance #SpeedataPublisher can't convert from RGB in CMYK. The purpose is because I need to go on offset printing and it is expected to prepare four plates for each colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black[Y]); However I could need to go just black and white (grayscale) thus if I have already a grayscale image what is the purpose to export in CMYK? Nothing.

I would recommend to change this line to Press Output and to add more voices such as: Grayscale; CMYK; CMYK + Spot Colors.

It's been a long time since I visited download page. I was excited they added debian repository at last, but...

Copy-pasting did not work for me. $(lsb_release -cs) expands to "excalibur ceres" in my case. That's obviously wrong.

Replaced the above with "bookworm". Kinda , but that works at least.

Now it's time to get rid of all local installations and use system-wide one. Just curious how to move user preferences. Later.

LINux on MOBile

@insl Generally yes, but while you can package everything into a .deb, getting it accepted into (and I assume similar for ) is a different thing. There's a reason why the @ubports people were super happy and proud when they managed to get Lomiri accepted into Debian; and it's that reason why GNOME Shell Mobile is not in @mobian (afaik).

Maybe Debian/Mobian contributors can chime in here :-)

Could someone tell me why #Debian decided to roll out systemd-timesyncd even if it sucks at doing the one thing it should be doing? I've killed it and put ntpsec in its place because that actually keeps time synchronised. Add another +1 on the books for systemd-less #Devuan over Debian.

So I'm thinking of installing Devuan as an experiment. To see if I can live without systemd. I'm fairly certain most of my activity flow does not have a hard dependency on systemd, but systemd does make some things more convenient.

My preferred non-systemd init is OpenRC, but I like Dinit and Runit as well. Devuan offers a choice of OpenRC or Runit. I'll choose OpenRC.
