Can I say that the issue is much deeper than just tariffs, and that Europe should not be using anything cloud or AI based? Ideally not even from EU if not fully open-source or open-data.

Gentoo is the only way.

I’m not sure if this is satire, because if yes, well played, if not, Fuck That.

Just adding that GitLab self-host is an absolute nightmare, if anything goes wrong you are done. They include database in their ‘package’, so you have limited options.

Also GitHub is usually used to distribute dependencies, so if your package gets downloaded 1M+ times, you don’t have to pay for the traffic.

So I installed this way back in the day on my prod corporate VMs. I was still green, and any prod issues would shake me so much, it was too stressful.

I taught myself to relax when the locomotive pops up, take a few deep breaths and go on.

It was super effective. I learned to not get so flustered, and stopped messing commands due to adrenaline. I no longer install it anywhere, but it still puts a smile and a wave of nostalgia when I see or hear about it.

Such a small thing, yet it helped me grow so much.

I will just say:

WHAT THE FUCK are we doing? Alpine has been used in Docker, and Docker is now run everywhere.

WHY are these necessary tools underfunded? They barely even need anything. Why do companies not support them?

Can we start giving at least 0.000001% of net profit to the basic tools used? Can we globally force companies to give the smallest pittance to the open-source projects they make trillions off of?

Cracked software still enables their dominance over the market.

Gentoo OpenRC gang rise up!

I used to, 15 years ago.

Good times.

Where is dwm?

It’s not a take, that was their actual reasoning behind it. Gabe knew Microsoft well, as a former employee.

I had a printer I could not in my life make work on a Windows PC (2017). Then I tried my Ubuntu laptop, no drivers installed, just worked.

Fuck Windows.

I sync it via Nextcloud, works somewhat with my phone, too (I have to manually download it, and I set it to upload automatically).

Between PCs it works like magic.

Oh boy, I know where I’m losing my next free weekend

Gentoo is the best!

Build flags are absolute godsent.

Ever wondered how much shit goes into your software? How many packages include blutooth or CD drivers? Well, you would be suprised.

LibreOffice REQUIRES MySQL client (or MariaDB), and you can’t build it without it. Sounds weird? Then you have no idea what happens inside your packages.

So which distro do you use? Plan9 was never completed I think?

Just use Gentoo mate /s

So it’s Linux vs Windows

You can run Wine and it will probably work better than on Windows.

Laughs in Gentoo
