02-24 Gentoo

Im currently fixated on nixos and it’s likely to get gentoo’s spot when I need to replace this workstation

Im a huge gentoo nerd but recently have found https://nixos.org/ to be quite satisfying as well.

No, I guess Wayland is kind of on my to-do list…I just don’t need anything it offers. I’m grumpily enough implementing systemd already

Ive never stopped, just recently did my first nixos build with enlightenment. Had an old XPS with 4k screen works nicely. I like the reenlightened theme

I’ve been a Gentoo user since 2004 or so and used to crosscompile binaries in like 2006 for all of my systems including some sparc and ppc builds on my main servers. It was glorious. I adore Gentoo for portage and the ability to dream up a set of OS decisions and then actually do it, dog food and all. I’ll probably never not have some form of a Gentoo system within reach but mostly for nostalgic reasons but VMs and containers now fill my needs.

Often I use git and just edit my repo files with the GitHub app and then git pull the changes from the server that needa the file. If you’re already familiar with git it’s probably easier than learning vim. You can probably do it directly to a repo behind ssh. If not then I’d learn vim before git.

My emoji joke failed…it was intended to be focused at the red hat. I wasn’t being sarcastic I like raspbian

I like Gentoo for the pain. Is Gobo still active?
I tried arch but it was too unlike Gentoo for me to adapt. Raspbian is obviously awesome. 🤬⛑️ Alpine is the light. Good bye fedora I didn’t really try much.

I only really use the web version of it in Linux but I dumped OneNote for notion.

I have some scripts that use their API to send notes from the command line to a db page and some nvim mappings that I’m trying to get to send my buffers to a page but that part is problematic still.

I looked at obsidian but never really tried it out. I don’t like the limits notion has but it’s much faster for me to find my notes than OneNote. I have a metric fuckton of notes

The package manager won’t update anything installed from source.

emerge lols

Fuck advertising. Sorry not sorry. I actively try to avoid products advertised …it’s not really possible but I try. Fuck advertising…I blame Pepsi

My first Gentoo install took a weekend and about a week later I had a desktop. KDE took me like 2 days to compile. p3 800mhz Toshiba with maybe 256MB RAM I forget actually…version was 1.2 alpha I wrote 1.too on the CD

I used a $2/mth vps and got an instance up in about 5 minutes with ansible. Took longer to pay for the instance and ssh into it than the Lemmy install

If I were worried about it gaining users then I’d just limit access to the UI or do some database maintenance

If you have three phase power and lose power on one then batteries come in handy. Otherwise a nice generator helps. But OP will just be trading swapping one battery for a tray of batteries instead.

Yes, it’s how reddit got started, but they didn’t frame it and ask for permission. They just faked it until it hit natural growth.

Now they’re quite the hypocrits

Meh The modlog is so active it’s dead

I’m just here to spread the good word about old.lemmy.world

I made my honey look.
