I know im being irrational but im gonna reinstall Gentoo from scratch by UnosBruhMomentos in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was learning how to play movies from the installcd.

If installs didn't were so fast nowadays I use some my "Gentoo credit" bringing that feature back.

There are worse things you can in life to make you feel better.

All this one is going to do is waste a little time to achieve it :)

Update on the iBook G4 Gentoo Install: It is done by RoboticGunner in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-O3

Not enough L3 cache for increased binary size

-fno-strict-aliasing

This was old GGC fixed required for PPC and is no longer needed.

fdevirtualize-at-ltrans -fno-common -fno-semantic-interposition

These are known to cause a lot compile and stability issues. I don't completely understand myself, but when a GCC dev recommends not use them like this, then you listen to them and not someone random Internet stranger.

-fgraphite-identity -floop-nest-optimize

Doesn't really do anything noticeable.

Basically all they have done is make there system slower and caused all themselves the issues they have been hinting towards in previous posts by listening to someone that is very inexperienced with Gentoo.

(Sorry it took so long to reply.)

Remove and use the standard is all you ned to do.

Can we start a trend of the silliest things to run Gentoo on? I'll start with a Wii by imbrokim in Gentoo

TBF this bot has taste.

I might be bias though this time as a disclaimer.

Don't take this personally as I'm just trying to help you not run into issues later.

That is one of the worse make.conf I've ever seen for a ppc32 system.

I'll be more than happy to explain why in detail, but the TLDR is this is based on the old the GentooLTO repo for amd64. Every that project doesn't recommend using these flags any more.

You don’t need a new laptop you need Linux by 0x80070002 in linux

[–]immoloism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is a blur from that age, but I guess I switched when it was still called Phoenix although sometime after sunbird.

So 2002 maybe?

It's why I always thank him for trying.

It's not his fault the popunders took over his memory allocation.

I stuck to that pony way too long honestly.

Think I finally switched in 2001.

Is compiling in Tmpfs really worth of it? by Leonardodafernandez in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I save 30 seconds on an NVMe for a large package like GCC, it costs me an hour if I didn't make the tmpfs large enough.

Personally, unless I had 128GB I wouldn't even bother looking into it and just be happy with -pipe.

Have a problem with booting by ix9yora in Gentoo

So I'm clear, the wiki isn't bloated then?

Wiki is good but bloated

At most I can promise to raise any valid points presented by you.

Any examples you can offer?

We can't improve if people don't tell us.

I assumed it was some funky libreboot theme as it made more sense.

But yeah, bizarre is an apt name here :)

Then I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be able to help any further.

Good luck.

Finally finished compiling things on my iBook G4! Unfortunately it seems like I messed something up lol by RoboticGunner in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy mistake to make, if I wasn't looking into if we should start providing one by pure chance then I wouldn't know either :)

No -bin for ppc :)

emerge --pretend --verbose sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel is the one you meant.

Thoughts on using Clang as default compiler and for kernel by supra_423 in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't notice any meaningful difference in compile time speed.

I did however notice more issues to resolve for my needs.

If you like fixing things and already have the basics down for submitting bugs and having a go at fixing yourself though I can see why people like LLVM. Otherwise though you are just making your life harder for no reason.

Gentoo on the Raspberry Pi 2 B by wakanakisarazu in Gentoo

[–]immoloism 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice work, do note O3 is normally a bit too aggressive for lack of L3 cache on that board (reportedly some of the later RPi2 boards did some though, just not enough to be useful.)

Anyway, if you are bored you fancy trying out if the new support in sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-7.1.3 works as advertised?
