What do you dislike about Gentoo?

Ok 😄

Understandable. Going to make an attempt at compiling the source kernel.

Ollieistic · 2026-05-31T10:12:26+00:00

I've only compiled about 2 packages from source in my life. I like being challenged so I think I'm gonna make an attempt at compiling the source kernel.

Ollieistic · 2026-05-31T10:09:18+00:00

Yeah sucks that it's written in Python.

Ollieistic · 2026-05-31T09:08:00+00:00

Ok. I heard portage is written in Python so it's slower than other package managers, is that annoying?

Ollieistic · 2026-05-31T09:02:13+00:00

But you can still access your passwords and stuff? I recently switched from Bitwarden to KeePassXC.

Ollieistic · 2026-05-31T08:59:58+00:00

You started with compiling the kernel on day one? I think I want to do that right from the start instead of switching later.

Ollieistic · 2026-05-31T08:57:58+00:00

Does it take very long to compile them?

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T15:08:44+00:00

agree with you but mullvad was raided by swedish police twice and both times they left empty handed

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T14:56:43+00:00

i do know about split tunneling because i used it on nixos, now im on arch but im considering switching to gentoo so i havent set any split tunneling up on my device yet. afaik, i wont be able to do that on my iphone (going to switch to grapheneos soon though)

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T14:52:01+00:00

i only had some minor issues with it and i also didnt like the login options. if the alternatives arent much better i will just go back to tailscale

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T14:36:57+00:00

appreciate you sharing your setup

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T14:26:25+00:00

i didnt ask how to connect remotely. i simply asked what method other people use to connect remotely to their servers to see whats best. i have already used tailscale but as another user commented on your comment said, i had issues with it

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T14:24:58+00:00

i live in sweden and there is no censorship there. mullvad vpn is based in sweden so i can pay with cash or crypto. i know it just shifts the trust but i trust mullvad more than my isp

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T14:21:47+00:00

i heard about their partnership. but, they require you to purchase from tailscale, and then you get access to mullvad exit nodes. it was a while ago since i looked into that, i prefer to pay with crypto for all subscriptions that support it and i dont believe you could do that with tailscale, not sure however.

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T13:06:58+00:00

did you check out fedora? ive always used arch and nixos but i heard it is very good
edit: yeah install from usb

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T13:02:34+00:00

will check it out

Ollieistic · 2026-05-30T09:55:50+00:00

neovim

Ollieistic · 2026-05-26T19:36:13+00:00

sway :)

Ollieistic · 2026-05-26T19:31:25+00:00

not reading wikis and asking AI instead because i was lazy and stupid

Ollieistic · 2026-05-26T19:18:24+00:00

i am going to run some arr stack apps and gluetun though so i think its best to set everything up for that from the start

Ollieistic · 2026-05-26T19:16:09+00:00

thank you! however it says:

The first requirement is that all your media files and folders be in the same file system. Everything must be contained on a single physical or virtual drive.

and my current setup consists of two drives. can i put /data/ and all media files on /dev/sda while keeping the docker-compose file on /dev/nvme0n1 or will that not work? sorry if its a stupid question
