add gui for openvpn
CC: (none) => 79625490833
As per the openVPN github page: "OpenVPN GUI is a graphical frontend for OpenVPN running on Windows 7 / 8 / 10. It creates an icon in the notification area from which you can control OpenVPN to start/stop your VPN tunnels, view the log and do other useful things." Windows??? We have already an integration into networkmanager: https://madb.mageia.org/package/show/name/networkmanager-openvpn/application/0/arch/x86_64 And we have a plasma applet: https://madb.mageia.org/package/show/name/plasma-applet-nm-openvpn/application/0/arch/x86_64
Hi, Nikolay. Are you also preparing for total blockages? I understand... :) Additionally, you can watch this: --- 1. Luntik - simple OpenVPN connector (password-free configurations): https://github.com/AKotov-dev/luntik 2. LuntikWG - simple WireGuard connector: https://github.com/AKotov-dev/luntikwg 3. ProtonVPN-GUI - client for ProtonVPN: https://github.com/AKotov-dev/protonvpn-gui ***Proton I recommend it. Very fast servers, Netherlands. 4. DNSCrypt-GUI - DNS encryption, GUI for managing the dnscrypt-proxy server: https://github.com/AKotov-dev/dnscrypt-gui 5. encrypt-decrypt - a package of gpg files/folders encryption scripts for the Nemo, PCManFM, Dolphin and Caja context menus (AES-256, Top Secret): https://github.com/AKotov-dev/encrypt-decrypt 6. MgaRemix-8-(Proserpina) - security and privacy, ready-made flash drive in Russian, including all of the above on the basis of Mageia: https://linuxforum.ru/viewtopic.php?pid=469661#p469661 ***rpm packages are in Releases. Good luck. ;)

Nice you found each other :) You are really into this, i see, Alex! What about the openVPN web UI? https://openvpn.net/quick-start-guide/
CC: (none) => fri
Hi, Morgan. :) Yes, this theme is especially relevant in Russia now. With your permission, I will add this here for completeness of information, if suddenly there is a need to approach this issue even more seriously: @Nikolay Sabelnikov 1. An image for a cloud-based virtual machine Mageia-8_x86_64 + WireGuard (Server): Description: https://linuxforum.ru/viewtopic.php?pid=469625#p469625 MgaRemix-8-Cloud.vmdk.7z: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/SPqd/YTYhp2NNw/ ***if you decide to rent a VPS in a foreign jurisdiction. 2. Generators of combined client and server configurations for OpenVPN and WireGuard: https://github.com/AKotov-dev/openvpn-keygen p.s. don't forget to open the ports in iptables. Good luck again. ;)

Good luck. ;) Hi Alex. I use the rules to bypass the "Anti-prohibition" blocking, for this I use openvpn. http://antizapret.prostovpn.org/
Hi Nikolay. 'Antizapret' has a password-free configuration (*.ovpn). In this case, Luntik or, as sturmvogel has already said, a plug-in for NetworkManager will do. In any case, there is always a choice. ;)

True, before importing, you need to correct the file, otherwise it will not work correctly.
@Nikolay Sabelnikov That's right. In this case, this is handled by the GUI. For example, a modified script is used to use DNS inside a VPN - update-resolv-conf: https://github.com/AKotov-dev/luntik/blob/main/luntik/etc/luntik/update-resolv-conf Well, in ProtonVPN-GUI, in addition, there is an automatic exclusion of faulty servers by ports, if it comes to a free tariff plan. To be honest, I am distrustful of resources like "Antizapret". The reason is obvious: it has been around for a long time and you know who still doesn't pay attention to it. Add to this the fact that the author speaks Russian. In my humble opinion, using an Antizapret is like entrusting your own security to Kaspersky anti-virus, which has a license from you know who. :) What do you think?

I am very glad that you are with us, Nikolay. I won 't hide it, that I used to feel somewhat lonely because of my ignorance of the English language. My English-speaking friends are tolerant of this, but I think one day their patience will burst. But now there is you and it's just wonderful! :) p.s. sorry that I'm off topic... Just glad... With respect, Alex
:) Per comment 5 the requested application is for another OS, and we have alternatives packaged, and even more external suggested above, thanks. If you feel for it, maybe create a wiki page? Or extend https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Howto_use_NAT_to_share_your_connection

@Nikolay Sabelnikov New for security... --- mageia9-palemoon:private - Docker-image (tar > compressed 7z) and launcher (rpm) from the system menu (Internet). The Pale Moon browser opens, in which a proxy (socks5) + dns via TOR + UBlock is configured. In fact, it is a separate private/anonymous window for web surfing. Advantages: isolation from the main system, saving resources and everything is legal. Tor browser is banned in Russia, but it is not used here. mageia9-palemoon-private-ru.7z: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Cku3/xChY5SJhS Additionally, the same docker-image is in English for our English-speaking friends, because situations in life can be different: mageia9-palemoon-private-en.7z - located in the same place. Except for the rpm-launcher, after unpacking and restoring in Docker, you can run as follows (su): docker run --rm --env="DISPLAY" --net=host --device=/dev/dri --device=/dev/snd mageia9-palemoon:private For convenient Docker management, you can use DockerManager (these docker-images were created in it): https://github.com/AKotov-dev/docker-manager (see Releases) p.s. there is nothing else new yet. :) Sincerely, Alex
@ Nikolay In waiting for packaging education, i suggest you can practice some bug hunting - not just reporting; Try yourself to find where the problem is, and try some measures yourself. - Anyway such is the first part of packaging training anyway, so this is a way to start :) Also, to get some routine, you can help out QA testing that new updates work. For that begin by subscribing to QA-discuss list. And you can also find some wiki pages. @ Alex Can you help Nikolay in case he have questions? Speaking same language and time zone :) (Yew i know bugzilla is not a discussion site, but this message (as well as Alex' above) is a good place, but from now on I suggest you two communicate directly, or by dev or QA list.) Best Regards /Morgan
Also, QA list is generally more relaxed and quicker to reply to questions. But do write some short intro of yourself as first post! See you there :)
Morgan, I'm a quick learner and I have an introductory project, which I am currently using on magic and it is working successfully. I subscribed to the newsletter and configured the client on Android for plain text.
(In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #15) > Also, QA list is generally more relaxed and quicker to reply to questions. > But do write some short intro of yourself as first post! > See you there :) Hello, Morgan. :) Thank you very much, this is a great offer. For my part, let me too invite you and the Mageia team to the Russian conference (my blog): https://linuxforum.ru/viewtopic.php?id=39704 There you will also be able to communicate fluently in English. There is no need to invite Nikolay, he is already invited by default. :) The more places for discussion, the better, which also confirms your previous thesis. We will be glad to meet you. Sincerely, Alex
@Alex: that secure mga live and also docker seem valuable in todays situation. I think the most resilient way to distribute them is by torrent. If you go that route, ping me and i will help torrenting. (for prying eyes i say this here, not on that forum)
Hi, Morgan. Thank you for the torrent offer. If there is a situation with blocking personal storage, I will definitely use it. It is not yet known how far the repression from this old bastard can go. With respect, Alex
Hi I made a lot of updating on https://wiki.mageia.org/en/The_Onion_Router, you may find it interesting, and maybe share with others.
(In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #20) > Hi > I made a lot of updating on https://wiki.mageia.org/en/The_Onion_Router, you > may find it interesting, and maybe share with others. Hi, Morgan. Thank you so much for the useful information. Additionally, I want to inform you that bridges (obfs4proxy transport) are successfully blocked in Russia, and TOR traffic itself is also successfully detected by DPI systems already at the provider level (each provider has such a system on its site and they are all managed centrally), but so far TOR is not blocked. I think they are waiting for the command and will block it on demand. Morgan, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you something... This is the second time I have received a letter from GitHub, the contents of which I will give below. Explain to me more simply what it is: some kind of another advertisement or some kind of joke? I am grateful in advance... This is part of the letter: --- Hi AKotov-dev, , I saw your profile online and wanted to reach out! You might be a great fit for many of the remote software engineering roles that top U.S. companies are hiring for on Turing. Turing is based in Palo Alto, California, U.S.A., also known as “Silicon Valley”. We connect exceptional software engineers from around the world to top U.S. and Silicon Valley companies that are hiring for full-time remote software positions. Live anywhere, enjoy rapid career growth: Live anywhere in the world, enjoy career growth opportunities formerly only available to engineers living in the Silicon Valley - Work with former Tech Leads and Engineering Managers from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, & various top tech companies and advance rapidly towards your professional goals. Full-Time, Long term opportunities: - Turing only partners with U.S companies that are hiring for full-time long term roles remotely and also work hard on re-matching you to subsequent long term opportunities. If you register and pass Turing’s tests and interviews, you may never have to interview for a job again. Compensation: - Turing engineers are compensated with salaries more than local companies in most countries. Find jobs across levels: - Turing hires mid level, senior level as well as tech lead level engineers. Find jobs in 100+ Skills: - Get hired for React, Node, Python, Angular, Swift, React Native, Android, Java, Rails, Golang, PHP, Vue, Devops, Machine Learning etc. --- What is it? Sincerely, Alex
Thanks. Made a Russia subsection https://wiki.mageia.org/en/The_Onion_Router#Russia Added a note on TOR detect. By bridges blocked, do you mean running them in Russia, or accessing bridges in other countries? What about users connecting to foreign snowflake, is that detected? Other tips to help users, in any country or specific, are welcome. --- The letter to me seem valid. It seems Turing recruit programmers, and then let other companies hire the programmers from them. There are both ups and downs by not being directly hired, it depends on how much they care for their employees (like you), or more for their customers. Do some probing: Ask them how a contract may look like, and how they are going to pay. If they intend to invest in you, i.e free education, or other benefits, it is a sign they intend long relationship.
Created attachment 13188 [details] SnowFlake Morgan, thank you for the explanation and valuable advice about the letters. Apparently, to me will have to postpone this until better times, since everything is blocked both in terms of finances with foreign partners in both directions and in terms of information on GeoIP (only from Russian IP). All independent media sites are blocked and promise to block YouTube every day; what prevents them from blocking now is unclear. There is a screenshot of SnowFlake in the attachment. Below I provide logs from Tor (Linux). Under Windows similarly, I checked additionally for the purity of the experiment: set the parameter->closed the browser->opened the browser->went to whoer.net ->received the log. In most cases, it is impossible to disguise TOR. I think we need to wait for real locks. --// snowflake //-- 3/21/22, 11:50:15.917 [NOTICE] DisableNetwork is set.

All this is reminiscent of the case when someone decided to scare a hedgehog, took off his pants and showed him his naked ass. Life Hack for you: If you are tired of advertising on YouTube, you can log in via a Russian vpn and enjoy the absence of advertising, since monetization is disabled. ;) Greetings from North Korea-2.0, Alex
That recruiting company seem good if they live up to what they say https://www.turing.com/ so I suggest you ask them to keep contact until the dust settles. I have read about Swedish companies hiring lot of Ukrainian programmers (long before the war) and also Indian so outsourcing around the globe is not uncommon. Hah, yes finally a working adblocker ;) Crap about problems to connect to snowflake :( I also got a reply from a standalone snowflake operator, that he have not seen much traffic in recent days. About the attachment: the red marked TOR for that IP address must be the exit relay, right? So per design, OK. Today there was an article in our local newspaper about the information war from Kermlin on Russian people. It mentioned 20 popular VPN have been shut down, and also Facebook and Instagram. Telegram is still working. I knew most already. There are lots of news channels of all types easily available here and I read too much... Strangely I have seen no mention of TOR. Another article mentioned Russia have been experimenting at least once two years ago to briefly disconnect Russia from rest of internet. Possibly they fear even kremlin-friendly people will get angry / more suspicious if they loose the distraction youtube offer. Maybe they plan on filtering it instead. Or (huge task) replace it with controlled servers. Just my (bad) fantasy... What about other social networking, like signal.org and mastodon.social or other? Too less known to people (yet), I guess?
You're very aware of everything that's going on, Morgan. Yes, in Russia they block everything that contradicts the so-called "official line". Anyone can be declared an "enemy of the people" and imprisoned himself or his loved ones as blackmail. This is not a secret, because it is impossible to deny the obvious. TOR is not blocked because they have blocked the TOR browser. Probably this law (like many other laws) was written by some clown who does not see the difference between the browser and the network. Although, it may be done on purpose, so that later as many people as possible are accused of using TOR. I don't have a clear understanding here. About disconnecting Russia from the Internet... Yes, it's true. It is impossible to forget this experiment, because the organization that was engaged in this shutdown eventually disconnected itself and related resources, among other things. The same thing happened when they tried to completely disable the Telegram. Let's hope that now they have drawn the appropriate conclusions and will not make mistakes. And if they make mistakes, then from the position of the director of this whole circus, disabling youtube is a trifle, compared to The Hague. About other social networks... Already now they have unblocked the previously blocked one https://rutube.ru (this is a very, very small analog of youtube) and everyone who somehow earned money on youtube is driven there. There are even some bonuses introduced for the transition. Moreover, it is planned to issue and replace certificates for trusted and verified sites. Now, if you want to write a response or comment to an article on such a site, the content will be pre-moderated for loyalty in real time before publication. All this, of course, is presented as a concern for privacy and security. All this already happened under the USSR: the Iron Curtain, agitation, slogans "the collective West is the enemy of the Soviet man", the Voice of America radio, which was jammed on the territory of the country... Again, they clung to the Americans, saying "the world should be multipolar." ))) It seemed to me that after 1990 this song had already played. As it turned out, no. What does any Americans have to do with it? What does the West, Europe have to do with it at all? Here we are talking on this forum and I see that both there and here, first of all, are ordinary people: we all have two arms, two legs, and we all have about the same problems. Well, Americans additionally have a baseball bat and an American flag - invariable attributes in any Hollywood movie. And the Germans in the movies have naked tits, the French have Alain de Lon, the Swedes have an old man who ran away from the old people's house with a suitcase of money, ABBA, etc. I'm simplifying everything as much as possible, but where are the "enemies" here? I know only one person who has already given an answer to this question - this is George Orwell.
@Morgan Leijström Looking ahead... Morgan, in the past (non-disclosure agreement = 7 years) I worked in the structure of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Dismissed at his own request, an employee. Specialization is not specified. Upon conclusion of the contract, I have no right to cooperate with foreigners on a permanent basis (code exchange, actual code, code change). This was the reason for the subjective rejection of the moderators' suggestions about building packages in the community of your wonderful distribution. It would be an honor for me. From myself: Ukraine, war... This is a disgrace to the entire Russian people, which will be a stain for several generations... It was nice to meet you, Morgan. Sincerely, Alex
Ah, I understand. In a good world they should just be happy about their people contributing to open projects they actually could find useful, but we all know they are nuts... You should know western Europe, America,... do not deem Russian people. The Russian government we hate, both for threatening us with nuclear bombs, and their information war on their own people trying to make you feel bad about us. Kremlin have in some cases developed further than Orwell's fantasies. Take care, my friend :)
(In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #27) > You should know western Europe, America,... do not deem Russian people. Translation difficulties. If it doesn't burden you too much, could you explain this phrase in simpler words? I am grateful in advance, Мorgan...
We are not angry on Russian people. We do not judge you by what Kremlin do. We understand what government propaganda can do to establish alternate truths.
(In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #29) > We are not angry on Russian people. > > We do not judge you by what Kremlin do. > > We understand what government propaganda can do to establish alternate > truths. That's how I understand, thank you... About Orwell. My whole trouble is that I'm too curious... But I will ask... (In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #27) > Kremlin have in some cases developed further than Orwell's fantasies. This is not a fantasy, this is reality, my friend. Orwell gives the answer not only a picture of total dictatorship. In a global sense , he says the following: "Any power is violence against a person." The author of the work, in my humble opinion, is an anarchist. And overwhelmingly, I am ready to agree with its plot and statements. And you? p.s. my curiosity will ruin me. :)
Strong people and government can have the power to listen, understand, and help. To only destroy, you need not be intelligent nor strong, just evil. These are examples of strong Russians to be proud of :) https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasilij_Archipov https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov

Honor God and serve Him alone 2. Don't make from anyone an idol 3. Do not pronounce the name of the Lord your God in vain 4. Remember the Sabbath Day 5. Honor your father and mother 6. Don't kill 7. Do not commit adultery 8. Don't steal 9. Do not bear false witness against your neighbor 10.Do not covet anything that your neighbor has Your references, Morgan, are Commandment No. 2 - "Don't make from anyone an idol" It's against my religion. Orwell is a reference, not an unconditional statement. ?
Yes we shall not have idols, but can learn from good examples :) And also, be deterred from bad examples, as Orwell have shown us. That said, I am religion agnostic, trying to pick good parts from several. The commandments come in variants too even within one religion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments

Yes, a familiar thing. I thought that the left-bank community was prone to Necromicon. Okay... I hope now you understand, Morrgan, why Putin has 76% percent support and what kind of insanity we are all in here, my friend. The desire to live in paradise + religion?! And this is not fiction... This is only 1/10 of what the regime's henchman has in his head. See you. p.s. By the way, I also believe in God. That's why Marja van Waes ran away from me. She probably thought I was just another jerk. Although, she's right about something. I'm going to the bar... Bye, buddy. Thanks for the dialogue. See you. ;) It's always nice to talk to an intelligent person. I think you are not only smart, but also a wise man, Morgan. With respect, Alex
Hi, Morgan. It is very inconvenient for me to be interested in this. But... Yesterday there was a heated argument in the place where I was. In addition to religion, many referred in various forms to the topic of "homosexuality", they say, "what about this?". According to Russian laws, marriage is a joint life of a man and a woman. All other options, they are not exactly illegal, but they are definitely not supported by the Orthodox Church. I'll explain. For example, some guy decided to live an intimate life with another man. Personally, it seems to me arch-unnatural, because with such a union, the meaning of procreation is lost (I have a wife and an adult daughter). I am neutral towards the piderasts, i.e. of course I am disgusted that they are doing this, but the main thing is that they should not be heard and seen. In other words, I don't care what these guys will put into themselves there, the main thing is that it doesn't concern the basic rules and general peace. To be honest, I don't understand it at all: how a man can love a man is absurd. On the other hand, there are lesbians. They don't disgust me. On the contrary, I would award them a medal for not messing with the brains of normal men while they go about their business. In the end, this thing (vibrator) was invented in England so that women would not finally turn into hysterics. You can't get away from nature. In general, Everyone came to the conclusion that homosexuality is for freaks, and lesbians are, with some amendments, quite acceptable. And how do you feel about this in Sweden? p.s. I'm sorry to ask so many questions... Sincerely, Alex
By the way, Morgan... You're still not interested in what kind of religion Russians believe in. I am more than sure that Russian tanks will not go against Ukrainian icons. Faith is one... This is a hint to you so that the bomb does not fall, which you are so worried about... Religion is the decisive factor in this useless war.. The Crusaders killed for the symbols of the Catholic Church. Napoleon - in addition to a bunch of deaths, stopped this 600-year-old madness in Spain. Russian Russian icons of Ukrainians in the hands of the deceased Ukraine to meet the Russian tanks, will stop most of these tanks. But I think you just don't care. You have personal matters that, as before, do not concern the ears of others And you haven't had any women since the Holy Inquisition... Destroyed the gene pool... Now these... God forgive me - pederasts. You replace your right hand with them. With respect, Alex
Трудности перевода, Морган. Душу невозможно перевести даже на ближайшие языки... Ты, конечно же знал, что я это напишу. А я знал, что ты будешь слушать. Слушай, слушай эту боль. Слушай её...

Comment 36: Biologically what decides a persons preference who mate with, is not hard linked to the process that defines what genitals are developed. It does not matter if we believe that is a design by God or evolution, that fact have been biologically *proved*. Even if it had not, why not just ask affected people and respect them like others? It does not matter for prosperity that some "can not have babies", they are supportive in society and family anyway. I have a shemale friend who is a very good mother, friend, technician. Anothe rindication is that humans get much elder than when they can have babies. If it was important to make many babies, there would exist many more females than men. Organisations of any kind trying to legislate against nature are idiots regardless if the same believe in God or something else designed it. Comment 36: Sorry, could not follow you clearly. But Russian troops currently do not care much of sacred places in their current "crusade", you can see from many sources... Comment 37: Yes translation is hard. There are at several levels involved: words, expression, culture...
@Morgan Leijström It's not like that at all, Morgan. And it's time that I could go crazy and that the Jew Zelensky or the Jew Putin (Shalomov is his mother, nationality by mother) found a common point of contact - Ukraine. I am sincerely sorry for what is happening to the Ukrainian people now. Jews are crushing Jews with tanks. The West has eradicated corruption... Jews are crushing Jews... Why would Russians need all this? Reinhard Heydrich was an expert on the part of the war of the Jews against the Jews. )) And 2 million as it happened.. All warriors, like all religion, come from Jews! Why should the world suffer from these bastards?
Putin Is a Jew, Morgan... It's true...
@Morgan Leijström The Russians could not go to Ukraine. Ukraine is a kindred nation.

Кем же этот долбанный "факт" был доказан? Надеюсь не Дарвином?
Sorry.. By whom was this freaking "fact" proved? Not Darwin, I hope?
With all due respect, Morgan. Humanity, even after 100 years (globally), cannot change the essence of nature itself...
Daily, I experience the ignorance of censorship, which, hand-in-hand with propaganda, is dragging down society in USA and around the world. I believe in the critical examination of uncensored diverse sources of information and that individuals should be trusted to employ that method to make their free choices. Today's reality is far from that ideal and getting farther, rapidly. That said, it seems the current discourse in this bug, while vital, is inappropriate for Bugzilla. OTOH, if it is to continue, here or elsewhere, I'm prompted to exercise my speech, such as it is, that my current opinions, subject to change with new information, "diverge" from what I see as the dominant narrative in Western media. I'm inclined to believe that the published aims of NATO to militarily displace Putin with Eastern-moving aggression, the threats to provide nuclear weapons to Zelensky and his neo-Nazi Azov forces, and the history of criminal intervention in the governance of Ukraine by U.S. war-hawk political "leaders" and bureaucrats must be taken into account to provide counterpoint to an intelligent, well-informed dialog. My continually developing POV is informed by a large number of various publishers and journalists. Here is a small sampling of what I consider seriously credible information that suggests to me that, at least, there is blame to go around and, if global disaster is to be avoided, there needs be a putting aside of escalating propaganda and a diplomatic seeking of middle ground (plus bitly link in case url-wrap fouls up original link): This woman speaks of years of Ukranian shelling and killing ethnic Russians in Donbass, reputedly one of the influences on Putin's initiative, information that is ignored/suppressed in Western journalism: https://rumble.com/vy8qhd-interview-with-a-sad-bitter-ukrainian-lady.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=2 https://bit.ly/3IEnp3n ^^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxe-C5b8sAQ https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2022/03/10/how_ukraine_conspired_with_dems_against_trump_to_prevent_the_kind_of_war_happening_now_under_biden_820873.html https://bit.ly/3MOoc5g ^^^ https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2021/08/15/the-historical-unity-of-russians-and-ukrainians/ https://bit.ly/3DaX9wd ^^^ Finally ;) I made the following supportive reply to a comment by "fcbasel" in a thread at "The American Conservative" website a couple of days ago. There was a note my comment would be held for review before posting then, surprisingly and, perhaps a proof of concept, my comment was deleted. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/jd-vance-holds-line-against-warmongering-tucker-carlson/ Thanks. I don't have a scholarly knowledge of the history you describe. However, having experienced in my lifetime the evidence of Western deceit, propaganda, and betrayal since 1954 Geneva convention was ignored in favor of the immoral Vietnam war, on to two more in Iraq, and much more, I'm inclined to believe in the POV you and others propound. The Standard Operating Procedure of Obamas, Clintons, and Bidens, in concert with their career Deep State criminal accessories, to rape Ukraine and its citizens is only a small part of what I consider a credible narrative that militates against further propaganda mis-characterizing Putin's motives, denying his justifications, and condemning him as black-and-white sole evil aggressor. There is claim of a middle ground that NATO et al seem determined to eschew in furtherance of *their* treacherous, imperialistic designs on Russia, damn the consequences to the masses, who would be better served by pursuit of middle ground, as if those functionaries have ever displayed such equanimity.

Yes, please stop using bugzilla as a discussion on stuff not related to development of Mageia.
Ralph Pedersen? Buddy, why didn't you come yesterday?) ) Okay, as I understand it, you impose a ban on communication. Morgan is my friend. If you want - communicate with me. Morgan has absolutely nothing to do with it. Kill me if you have to. I didn't understand anything from your English. Morgan IS MY FRIEND!
Damn idiots..
What is Ralph Pedersen? Are you aware of this situation? Well, Rolf, with your baseball bat you have disrupted the dialogue of two old friends. Aren't you ashamed?
And silence... Rolf, I do not know what kind of mission you came with. You want to get missiles stuffed up America's ass. I beg you - my mission is not to shove anyone in the ass with rockets. State the thought with which you behave so famously! Are you drunk or something? ))) Send rockets to your Florida: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8qU0GdW88Q&list=RDMMfrqaMTASrcY&index=6 Russia is the Aggressor! Go ahead. ))))
STOP THIS THREAD NOW. you have been warned. If this abuse of Mageia Bugzilla dont stop, we will have to disable your accounts.
Morgan, they won't let us talk here. I announced the release of "Bertha" and "Cain" technology. You always have the option to come to me. Don't be afraid of anything, as Bulgakov wrote in The "Master and Margarita": https://linuxforum.ru/viewtopic.php?id=39704&p=3 Friendship is friendship. Write in English, it will be more convenient for both of us. Sincerely, Alex
Personally, Morgan. It seems to me that it's time to leave all these military hardware of the Cold War era alone and somehow begin to cooperate. I don't want to release 'Bertha' on the threshold of not our war. But I have to protect anyone who visits the site (internal scripts), which calls for killing... There are many others among us.
I'm sick of everything, Morgan... All these stupid "Americans"... They know that the Russians will destroy them. Tell me, Morgan, is there any possible cooperation between us?
