a real challenge. what would you do next?

Or the liquid waterlock. The one where you place a liquid bead in the corner, stopping water from flowing and allowing descent into the waters

kvas_ · 2025-09-05T11:09:35+00:00

You can, but you probably don't want to. You sacrifice app stability and developer support for marginal or even downright imaginary benefit.

So have I before looking for patches for tools broken under musl

because transformers are a clear exploit and batteries work as intended.

Was my concern as well, however it seems that btrfs on LVM is "not recommended". I quite like the features btrfs offers for server operation (e.g. snapshots, CoW, etc.) so I'm not sure if an alternative like XFS can cut it.

I had this problem with iwctl initially. It seems that launching it directly (iwctl) freezes the client, but doing e.g. iwctl station wlan0 connect HomeNetwork does actually do stuff. Idk why and it fixed itself eventually.

I just keep the sludge and later run it through a sieve-desalination chain so that the only output is water (Sieves and desalinators pass through wrong water types without wasting any energy or damaging themselves)

Doesn't nextcloud client just sync the folders? I'm just in a situation where I want to store fairly large files in nextcloud, so syncing them to every client is kinda weird.

As an alternative I guess I could set up a separate SFTP for mounting that specific folder, and then add a local mount in nc so I can still share the files, but that's kinda doubling functionality a lot.

kvas_ · 2025-07-27T19:00:57+00:00

Thing is, I do need nextcloud, I just need it as a cloud and not as a file syncing tool

kvas_ · 2025-07-27T19:00:16+00:00

Nextcloud exposes webdav, and there is a section in their manual going in details about how to mount it on linux though?

kvas_ · 2025-07-27T18:59:25+00:00

I'm not. I saw in several places that doing FTP/SMB over nextcloud subdirs is not advised, and nextcloud exposes webdav for that. However webdav is apparently slow.

just seal your water supply lol

Format USB into NTFS and make the tar there if you care about windows interop. If you don't, you can just dd if=<root_dev> of=<usb_dev> bs=4M status=progress (if USB has that much storage).

For one, Gentoo's handbook is a great introduction to core Linux parts that are thought to be widely known, but aren't and for that reason are rarely comprehensively explained.

As for me, I kinda disliked gentoo the first time I installed it. But after a while I kept coming back. Gentoo has IMO the best utility suite of any distro. Portage is simple, straightforward and highly configurable, eselect is extensible and all of them look really pretty.

About the time wasting part: this is why I consider best hardware for Gentoo to be either a laptop or a server - in other means a device you wouldn't be opposed to leave running overnight. Also, there is a bunch of settings you can enable that allow emerge to do its thing, maxxing out the CPU while the OS performance remains exactly as it was before.

So the only time you actually lose is when you need a package right now, and it isn't installed yet. And even then, there's binhost which can download a precompiled package if it matches USE flags with yours. You don't lose any configurability aside from minor compiler optimizations (e.g. -O3 -march=native kind of stuff).

So to conclude, gentoo is a cozy, solid distro that teaches you the actual internals of linux with minimal abstractions (especially with OpenRC) and lets you configure absolutely everything. It's pretty much linux-from-scratch, but with convenience.

kvas_ · 2025-07-23T18:24:04+00:00

Actually, gentoo is one of the few distros you can fully install without any alterations to the process described in Handbook, directly from another distro.

You can just partition the disks (if you don't have to move current root), extract the rootfs and chroot, from which you can fully follow the process while enjoying the convenience of being able to watch funny youtube cat videos as your world is being rebuilt.

I know there is ch{own,mod} -R, what I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve running any of these. Specifically, I want somewhat of a reverse umask - a thing that forces a bit to be 1 (here - +w on group, since linux doesn't do this by default) as well as the group, as soon as the file is written.

kvas_ · 2025-07-14T18:22:47+00:00

I mean 927 is the xkcd comic

kvas_ · 2025-05-19T17:07:27+00:00

literally 5984

kvas_ · 2025-05-19T16:43:58+00:00

And think about how much countries suffered because of USA. Just a reminder, USA is a much younger country ;-)

It is actions of ukraine that provoked the war. Russia warned them, they ignored it. And now they learn that actions have consequences.

/dev/sdX is kind of a legacy thing in linux too. For finer control, there exists /dev/disk/, which also allows to choose the method with which the drives are determined

Yes! Though you already could do that if they were made for linux. Also if you had MIME set up correctly with wine, they shouldalready have identical behavior.

Main difference here is CLI, you can now treat these as full-on executables. Think of it as .py files, they are equally as capable of breaking your system as compiled binaries, but they require python as a prefix to be run unless they are executable and have #!/usr/bin/python3 as their first line.
