Thanks for clarifying. > I apologise if somebody thought the joke stretched a bit too far: I am > responsible for that. I thought all the clues were clear enough, but > apparently they were not and some people got too stressed about it. I > am sincerely sorry about that. Apology accepted. Regarding my own take: I just did not take the time to verify any of the clues. Part of it was, that in my local time it also was not 1st April and I forgot that there are quite a bunch of other timezones. Only later I installed a gopher client. Thing is: Devuan is used in production, so there is some responsibility coming with that. :) > Pranks have always been an essential part of the hacker culture, and > like it or not, Devuan has been brought to all of us by a bunch of > passionate hackers working long nights, not by a team of serious white > collars in suit and scarf doing 9-to-5. I certainly understand and can relate to that. While Microsoft's marketing directory tried to ban April fools jokes this year, I am always on the lookout for some. For me the joke was just a bit too… security sensitive. > I will definitely make sure I will not make such a mistake again in > the future.

Well, I even have a smile on my face at the moment. As for implementation of the "joke": You basically fooled me initially. Well done. Or as gamers say: Achievement completed.
