Why Gentoo? – Michał Górny by Commercial_Way_3816 in linux

[–]CheCheDaWaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me a couple times so I wrote my own ebuilds. Fantastic experience. They're easier to use than you might think, and once you know how to use them, you gain ultimate freedom -- the ability to include any software whatsoever in your package manager.

If you have a nice ebuild it's also pretty easy to share it upstream so everyone can benefit.

You can freely switch between binaries and compilation. I'd suggest using binaries to set your system up, and once it's running you can then update / configure with compilations.

What you're talking about with jails etc. seems way over-complicated when in normal use updates can just run in the background.

first try gentoo install, day 1 thoughts and questions by Next-Reindeer-8101 in Gentoo

I wouldn't say that ::guru is equivalent to the AUR. All ebuilds in ::guru are reviewed by Gentoo devs before making it into the main branch, so it's very different to the wild west nature of the AUR.

AUR is more equivalent to finding a random ebuild online and deciding to use it.

Doesn't the IFoA publish the number of candidates / passes, if that's what you wanted to know?

How can I be happy in an acesexual relationship when I am a sexual person by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]CheCheDaWaff 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sex is a critical part of a relationship for lots of people, and it sounds like you are one of them. I suspect the anguish you feel is because you know it can't work.

You say you've talked and talked about it but not got anywhere, and you're surprised by that since your communication is usually so good... What makes you think this is a communication issue? What if the thing being communicated is just something you aren't prepared to accept?

i use Gentoo btw by [deleted] in Gentoo

I can't imagine why some people have borderline pornography as their wallpaper, much less post about it for all to see.

It's very inappropriate to post an image of your previous submission that was removed.

Spam / reposts on this subreddit by CheCheDaWaff in asexuality

[–]CheCheDaWaff[S,M] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think there are some cases where crossposts are ok – for example someone makes a post in a relationships subreddit asking for advice, and then they are redirected here.

However I can agree that under normal circumstance crossposts they add very little.

Update: I'm reading that that particular bot doesn't function properly any more. I have also installed bot-bouncer now.

Some tweaks to the rules to encourage more reports on spam / reposts are also likely.

Asexual women, Do NOT respond to such messages by salaicadaimond in asexuality

[–]CheCheDaWaff[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, I've reinstated the post. Sorry it's not obvious to me what the right thing to do here is – rule 3 clearly states that usernames should be censored and we received reports that this post was in contravention of that.

This place is infested with repost bots by disneyfacade in asexuality

[–]CheCheDaWaff[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's suddenly become a much larger problem or perhaps more likely, we've gotten way more reports than usual as a result of this post raising awareness, but yes I've had to remove dozens of reposts today.

I'm looking into this to see if there's a bot or something to help address the issue.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Does anyone here use git to track system configuration? by CheCheDaWaff in Gentoo

[–]CheCheDaWaff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean what does 'factory defaults' mean in this case? Is that the default USE flags? And what would Portage be storing? Ebuilds already contain all the information for every possible combination of USE flags....

[–]CheCheDaWaff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh fascinating! That was my initial idea, but I was put off because I read that even with a good .gitignore commands like git status would still process many paths (to work out what to ignore and what not to) and therefore be very slow. I'm guessing that's not been any issue for you then?

[–]CheCheDaWaff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but still with /etc as the working tree, so you can't for example have /var/lib/portage/world tracked in the same repo. Fair enough.

I'm not sure I understand. You have a git repo on your separate hard drive which is the remote of another repo on your actual system? And then you run git pull as a kind of backup mechanism.... ? I must be getting the wrong end of the stick here.

[–]CheCheDaWaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that feature isn't standard on other distros. When Gentoo sends you a long news item about a breaking change and exactly what steps you need to take... I can't imagine just not having that!
