| Starrcade | Hi, Saw this on R/Linux, does this affect Devuan too? | 01:03 |

| ted-ious | Starfoxxes: It affects the bleeding edge packages but nothing stable. | 01:30 |
| ted-ious | Oops. | 01:30 |
| ted-ious | Sorry wrong star person. | 01:31 |
| ted-ious | Somebody might want to mention this in the topic for the channel. | 01:31 |
| onefang | I had a power failure, so I have no idea what you are talking about ted-ious. | 01:41 |

| p1ilco | nope | 01:58 |
| p1ilco | openrc chads dont get affected | 01:58 |
| ted-ious | Somebody needs to explain to p1ilco that the backdoor is in the library code and that can affect anything that uses it. | 04:36 |
| justbosco | Hello guys, could I ask you if someone has already changed the initsystem, or leave it the default one? | 06:33 |
| GoatAvenger | justbosco, not quite sure what you mean: "if some one has already changed the initsystem?" If you are installing Devuan, best to stick with systemV (the default) unless you know more of what you are doing, in which case 'runit,' I believe works reasonably well. | 07:23 |
| justbosco | GoatAvenger: Yes runnit is a good init system | 07:43 |
| brocashelm | runit and openrc are the other two inits available for usage | 07:48 |
| brocashelm | but, their service implementation is still lacking compared to other distros; you're still going to have to work with sysv's services to some extent | 07:49 |
| justbosco | brocashelm: You say it's something like MX Linux? | 08:04 |
| brocashelm | more like debian (with sysvinit + devuan's patched builds of packages that use systemctl originally) | 08:09 |
| brocashelm | if you want a more complete runit implementation, antix or void would suit that | 08:09 |
| brocashelm | likewise with openrc, alpine or gentoo do it best | 08:10 |
| brocashelm | but runit and openrc (as inits) do work as they should on devuan, so at least there's that | 08:11 |
| brocashelm | and runit-services is an ongoing conversion of sysv scripts onto runsv | 08:11 |
| justbosco | brocashelm: Thank you very much for the information | 08:28 |
| iasg | hello everyone! i upgraded to devuan 5, after much work getting all working, i'm still in the dilemma of whether i should use nftables or keep my old iptables rules | 14:23 |
| iasg | if anyone could help me set up nftables, i'd be very thankful! i can share my iptable rules | 14:23 |
| iasg | my main concern is that iptables won't get the care it deserves in the future, and i value privacy and security a lot | 14:24 |
| iasg | let me check if there's also an nftables channel too, btw | 14:25 |
| iasg | seems it's blocked | 14:26 |
| fsmithred_ | Is it Apr 1 already? | 14:27 |
| iasg | fsmithred_: not yet | 14:28 |
| iasg | seems there's a translator, i'll give it a try and do some work on my own to make it function | 14:28 |
| iasg | nvm me, I'll just stay with iptables, it works for now. thank you all! | 15:01 |
| ted-ious | Isn't iptables just a different user space app for adjusting the kernel's filters? | 15:12 |
| joerg | nope | 15:35 |
| majekla | https://pastecode.io/s/czocp571 This is a basic introduction to nftables configuration. | 15:37 |

| g593 | click first link for "Devuan Security" | 23:44 |
| g593 | 404 doesn't exist | 23:44 |
| g593 | uh | 23:44 |
| g593 | is there no security team? security news? | 23:47 |
| CueXXIII | g593: i would use https://www.devuan.org/os/contact for security related bugs. but devuan is mainly debian with only a few changed packages, so security is mostly done by debian, i think | 23:58 |
| g593 | shouldn't there be a security team? | 23:58 |
| g593 | if it's mostly debian it seems this will be easier task in comparsion | 23:59 |
