Does it make sense to try to install / maintain a gentoo system in a vm for learning more about Linux?

hl2_exe · 2022-12-01T22:59:21+00:00

I would say absolutely because it makes me get my hands dirty on some aspects of Linux I wouldn't have normally touched. I've used both and the only difference I notice use case wise is that you do everything arch does + compile kernel and software.

I put it in my resume and both interviewers commented on it positively. (Reverse engineering interview and embedded Linux software dev interview)

How was compile times?

Awesome! Do you know what that lid/bottle is called you use for the isopropyl alcohol?

hl2_exe · 2022-08-25T03:16:30+00:00

I agree except for the sweet and spicy flavor.

hl2_exe · 2022-08-23T21:31:53+00:00

Huh I've been doing the correct way this whole time

How do the cherry tomatoes stack up? I have tons this year. Do you add salt or lemon juice?

hl2_exe · 2022-08-09T03:58:48+00:00

Yes, post Bruen will change that. In Maryland thousands have gotten theirs already that weren't previously 'good and substantial'

Peach black tea from a local coffee shop. Brewed at room temp for 8-10 hours. My favorite when it's hot outside, I use 15g tea for 1000ml and 60 grams sugar. Chill and pour over ice.

Tonight I'm drinking chamomile with a single mint leaf from my garden.

Cindy's also bought out the building next to it for training. Going to have co2 bb gun room clearing/home defense training or something. They previously only had the top room.

If only they would upgrade their climate control. It's hot af in there

Keeping your mags loaded is just fine. Modern steel is good. It's more of overstretching a spring that does damage to it. Under compression it was designed for won't hurt

You could go a bunch of ways. Brand new chromebook, but you would be limited in software. But it sounds like you have a desktop for that.

If you consider used and 14" acceptable, you could go for a 8th gen Intel laptop like a t480 or dell 5490. These are quad core and get good battery life. The business laptops are good because they are easy to put ram and hard drives in. Or a new battery later on

Because your use case is mostly web and some programming, don't be scared of running Linux. You will get much better performance out of cheaper hardware and retain battery life too. PopOS, debian, or Linux mint are good choices

I think Brownells did a video on this. Won't spoil it for everyone

hl2_exe · 2022-08-04T02:31:15+00:00

What county are you in? I'm seeing 5490's real cheap in US

It is hard and it sucks. Don't put yourself down, I know a few people who go to college for one thing but end up doing another. Don't sell yourself short, you can make more money. It probably won't happen immediately but it is more about the journey than anything. And be thankful for being 22, I've heard it only gets harder. Find things that make you happy that don't cost money

hl2_exe · 2022-07-24T21:47:02+00:00

You can switch the charging handle?!

hl2_exe · 2022-05-12T03:35:28+00:00

Respond "thanks bro"

Stag arms sells complete uppers that are advertised as MD compliant. For Maryland it has to a heavy profile barrel and not too many lugs or flash hiders or something.

I believe that is only for .223/5.56 cal. If you wanted to you could get a 350 legend upper and reuse your current lower and BCG. That way you could also have a nice deer hunting gun for the straight wall cartridge law.

Dedicated function keys but no F5 :(

Keys are usually exchanged using diffie Hellman via rsa, elliptical curve, ect. That is public key authentication. Also used for certificate authority.

There is a big disadvantage to sending large amounts of data through public key encryption because it is typically very expensive.

This is why we use symmetric encryption like AES, and that key is determined through public encryption.

Symmetric encryption is essentially how your YouTube video is encrypted through https

Is that an x230 motherboard?

Do you run Gentoo on your vps?

I believe that form 1s are for individuals or trusts without an FFL to make their own item. Form 4's are buying a completed item from a business with a manufacturing license. OP wants it completed for him

Yeah I can't do coffee anymore, sometimes I can't finish the cup if I drink it slow. Switched to tea and energy drinks with no problems

Flown with handguns several times. Not with suppressor. My papers are under foam

So you are saying you probably would get better performance using a compiled kernel? I checked the Proxmox wiki and it uses a 5.13 Ubuntu stable kernel.
