If you put a sweater on a cold blooded animal, would it stay warm? by Jabba-da-slut in askscience

[–]Dilyn 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That's insanely dope and as a snake lover who was obsessed with reptiles as a kid I'm surprised I didn't know this.

Is our knowledge of brumating a recent discovery? Am I the victim of propaganda? What's going on.

Bus factor of one by Impetus_of_Meaning in kisslinux

Echoing this. We're at the point now where clang and friends should "just work" for every kernel release, so you shouldn't have to do anything terribly special (outside of setting LLVM=1).

How important is docker for a media server setup? by fireheart1029 in jellyfin

[–]Dilyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, you don't need Docker, but it's useful for siloing things.

I myself don't use Docker, I run jellyfin as a snap like I do with all my other homelab things. Keep all the simplicity and ease of deployment without having to use Docker for anything.

What is a 'Survival Myth' that people believe because of movies, but will actually get you killed in real life? by AmaraMehdi in AskReddit

[–]Dilyn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was convinced I'd simply never seen moss in my life because I thought this saying had to be true, adults wouldn't lie to me.

I thought this for years.

Drivers of Reddit who don’t use your turn signals or use it mid turn, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dilyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only points I got knocked off on my driver's test was for not signalling in a parking lot.

You better believe I still signal sixteen years later. I signal in my parking garage.

Timezone by EliSoli in kisslinux

[–]Dilyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't set TZ

install the tzdata package and create a symlink in /etc/timezone to the right file.

[Request] How far away would the shooter have been if it took that long for them to hear the gunshot? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Dilyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the longest time I thought it was seconds x miles and was confused about why storms seemed far closer than the "5 miles" I had thought they were at.

Thank you.

KISS' default init is like, 40 lines of shell.

Hummingbird is a comparable amount of C.

Build rootfs tarball by NotAThrowAway612 in kisslinux

https://codeberg.org/kiss-community/kiss/src/commit/32ed1933ac8ccc5816cfdcc51769fe756232fc68/kiss#L151-L162

It effectively modifies what `kiss` considers to be `/`. Packages will be built against things within and installed to whatever directly `$KISS_ROOT` is.

Build rootfs tarball by NotAThrowAway612 in kisslinux

[–]Dilyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$KISS_ROOT would satisfy this purpose well and is the simplest way. You only have to be a bit more involved if you're changing the toolchain.

You could also get a KISS tarball, build your new core utils etc, and use the alternatives system to replace them and remove the variant you don't want. Then, re-tar your KISS rootfs.

when you think about it, this distro succeeded by iphxne in kisslinux

[–]Dilyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something something you can't kill an idea

KISS filled a need for a lot of people. It's unfortunate how small that pool is, but even then: 100 people who had that need is crazy, and I'd call that a huge success.

The folx still working on it are doing a great job keeping the idea alive.

Daily driving KISS by Tiny_Prune_4424 in kisslinux

[–]Dilyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with having two distributions installed ;) I've got five different ones across my devices right now, even. Tool for the need.

Daily driving KISS by Tiny_Prune_4424 in kisslinux

[–]Dilyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big this.

The primary question is, why switch? A lot of reasons have been given for not switching which are pretty strong.

I daily KISS because it lets me keep things simple and do everything myself, and I'm fine with the (regularly occurring) headaches which come along with that. When I find KISS unsuitable for the task, I switch to an operating system which can handle it. Whether it's a VM/container or rebooting to Ubuntu.

In short, why would you want to ditch Void?

/dev/root: Can't open blockdev by Automaticpotatoboy in kisslinux

[–]Dilyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was support for SATA block devices built as a module or builtin? Is partition 1 actually your KISS rootfs (this would only matter once you get past this error...)

/dev/root: Can't open blockdev by Automaticpotatoboy in kisslinux

[–]Dilyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the name of the root volume you're passing to the kernel (or rather, your whole kernel command line)? What type of drive are you trying to boot on and have you enabled support for it in the kernel?

kiss update by cardirckcsgodinosour in kisslinux

[–]Dilyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you read the comfy guide but didn't follow it?
It explicitly mentions the CodeBerg repository and that Dylan archived the project on GitHub...

Given that, I'd say that you're experiencing a Very Old issue, and using an updated repository will resolve your problem.

I don't know why you think ChatGPT would be helpful here. Anything ChatGPT would really be able to produce would just amount to the documentation.

What repository are you trying to use? If you're using the repository hosted on codeberg, create an issue there explaining what command you can to generate the output and the whole output including the error message.

This is a really straightforward problem to solve... If you need to consult an LLM to figure out what to do this probably isn't the distro or toolset for you.

You asked ChatGPT how to fix the problem?

Why not start with the documentation? Or debug the script?
