Rip the DVD again?

Cool, no, not my version but very close to it…

Kudos gentoo colleague! Its the best distro all around.

I started when I was less than 18. It was some prehistoric redhat, like redhat 0.1 or such (joking, but really, it was the '90s)

Then around -can’t remember- guess 18 or 19. It was Linux From Scratches because… Gentoo didn’t exist back then…

Gentoo has been love at first sight and still today I only use gentoo everywhere. Servers, laptops, mediacenters…

I even ported gentoo on an android tablet 10 years ago.

Yeah, me neither… I moved from an 8088 (8Mhz) to a 386dx (40Mhz) directly to a Pentium 90Mhz… Skipped the 486…

Fixed that, you are correct.

Still, I don’t care if they are gay or straight communist or fascist, black yellow white or gray. Software is a tool and its apolitical.

I don’t care, i care for the tech. I don’t need to make friends with the devs of the tech nor give them my money.

They have different political views than me, yes. Does it affect the tech they develop? Not in my opinion.

I used to have it installed. Its pretty nice and the integration with Garmin connect is pretty sweet, so you don’t even have to download the gpx and upload it, but the activity will be automatically synched for you.

Just gave it a try… Seems fun!

Doesn’t solve any problem I have. Why switch?

Also, interesting concept the immutable one, but just… Why?

Thanks for the clarification, it make sense indeed, specially if you don’t come from a long term Unix background.

Today Linux world feels more and more unnecessarily complicated somehow. I am getting old.

I see that containers get lot of love, but really setting up wireguard is writing a text config file, why would you need containers for that?

Wire guard + some nft tables or ip tables rules is a much better solution.

Ssh on itself can do the port forward part but for the routing you still need the above mentioned rules. In addition, ssh will not autoreconnect if anything happens and you need to add autossh or some other solution to keep it rolling.

LFS is great, I started with it 25 years ago (not joking, it was GCC 2.9 time)

But quickly discovered Gentoo and been there since that time. LFS is not maintainable, Gentoo is the good of LFS plus perfect maintainability.

The idea rocks… Love it!

… Something that added to a Gentoo distribution would be amazing …

Msata and ssd, they are both sata and ssd.

Maybe one is faster because its newer or so, but there shouldn’t be much difference. Its not nvme, its msata.

I would slap the two disks in Linux software raid1 to leverage drive failure and use an external disk for backups, maybe over the network (local or remote).

If you don’t want to waste 50% of your space, use one disk as home, the other as root&boot&swap (is swap even a good idea? Maybe zram). Any extra space on the other dunnow… Mybe additional home space?

Never had issues. Both with nvidia and Intel cards.

I fully agree with you…

Its just complex.

I hate it for my Android device maintainer role much more than my Linux admin role…

On Android, its a fucking mess between vendor stuff and system stuff. But not for selinux itself, but for the mess that vendors often do.

I think you got it wrong. Nft is replacing iptables. Ufw is only a frontend.

Actually, your uoyabled might just be a wrapper on nft.

Gentoo lover and long time user here, OpenRC only.

Feel free to pm/DM me for any question in general.

I use Genkernel, works like a charm.
