Arch isn’t cool anymore you should switch to gentoo

Gentoo isn’t cool anymore. You should switch to funtoo, so you can have fun too!

How do you like it? I’ve been trying to get people’s opinions on it but haven’t found any users yet.

It is a lot of fun! Right now I’m back to arch, since I don’t have a lot of time, but funtoo does right those older decisions in gentoo which do not make sense in these day and age. And the updates are fast, really fast, since they use git!

The downside is the docs aren’t as good. Not even close. The wiki for gentoo is a great source of information.

Actually looks like Funtoo got discontinued a week ago lol talk about timing

The first surgeons worked on cadavers like Dr. Frankenstein. They were equally as reviled.

I don’t like the kiosks at all and it seems like the service is slower when you use them. It’s like no employee feels responsible for your order. The food can be good, the biggest variation I usually see is in the fries, sometimes they are hot and fresh and other times you can tell they’ve sat for a while.

brygphilomena , to nostupidquestions in Why won't companies easy re release old games or at least make very old ones free?

Have you looked at the Nintendo store? It’s got tons of old games in there for the switch from various old consoles.

Playstation often has old games in its store, over half the psx library was for sale on the PSP and ps Vita.

    brygphilomena , to asklemmy in Why is music so loud in restaurants? (Serious)

    One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is that so many places don’t adjust the volume properly to the amount of people in the place. If I go to a sports bar near me for happy hour, they have the music the same volume as when a big game is on and the place is packed.

    JimmyBigSausage OP ,

    It seems the music is set for the staff instead of the customers too.

    onlinepersona , to piracy in Advice Needed: Sharing DVD Collection

    You can seed anonymously with I2P. It has a built in torrent client. If you don’t want to use it, there’ qtorrent which supports I2P and anonymous mode.

    There are open trackers on I2P e.g http://opentracker.skank.i2p/ and http://opentracker.dg2.i2p/ both trackers don’t have a search interface though, so probably people won’t find your torrents unless they are very popular. You can upload the torrents to http://tracker2.postman.i2p which has a good interface.

    With qtorrent you can seed in both the clearnet and I2P at the same time. Either just use the open trackers or postman’s, or both. Either way, having them on I2P would be great.

    I2P makes anti-hacking server protections go mad. You first need to check whether your servers TOS doesn’t say anything about port-scanning or hacking.

    fmstrat , to asklemmy in I find no motivation in working for myself

    Does “for myself” mean “for profit”, as in a job, or do you mean community work?

    If it’s the latter, and you have a passion for hosting instead of developing, that’s totally OK.

    Findmysec OP ,

    It’s not a job. I just like hosting software for other people

    fmstrat ,

    Then what makes you feel like “creating” is better than “providing”?

    I have no idea what you mean

    Oh wow, I have a reading comprehension issue today. Apologies.

    MNByChoice , to linux in How is RISC-V better than arm for Linux?

    RISC-V is better for Linux due to driver support. Vendors making hardware are more likely to use RISK-V for their controllers due to the costs. Modern computers are putting more functions under control of kernels that run on proprietary compute. (There exists a chart showing how little the Linux kernel directly controls.) As more of those devices run RISC-V, they will become more discoverable.
    Also, those that can design or program tge devices will have more transferrable skills. Leading to the best designs spreading, and all designs improving.

    Places in a computer with compute (non-exhaustive, not all candidates for RISC-V):
    BMC
    Soundcard (or subsystem on mainboard)
    Video card (GPU and the controller for the GPU)
    Storage drives
    Networking
    Drive interface controlling card
    Mainboard (not BMC)
    Keyboard
    Mouse
    Monitor
    UPS
    Printer

    Will it be perfect? Nope.
    A lot of the vendors will lock things up as well.

    examples he gives are what you’d expect:

    • Linux doesnt control the bootloader
    • Linux doesn’t control power management

    Many systems on the chip that Linux doesn’t have control over, and could be compromised by a cross SoC attack

    MNByChoice ,

    Thank you for pulling the image out.

    This talk surprised me at the time. I was starting the eye opening experience of design hardware. Linux more orchestrates the hardware than controlling it.

    tetris11 ,
    @tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

    For me it opened my eyes to the idea that all you really need is some CPU time and a little RAM space to have a full-fledged performative system. Sure, there will be a large attack vector for remote spying, but if you just want to code and play games then it’s pretty amazing how little you need :-)

    winterayars ,

    There’s also the fact that Arm doesn’t really work with arbitrary PC style hardware. Unless this got fixed (and there have been some pushes) you have to pretty much hard code the device configuration so you can’t just (for example) pull a failed graphics card and swap a new one and expect the computer to boot. This isn’t a problem for phone (or to an extent: laptop) makers because they’re happy to hard code that info. For a desktop, though, there’s a different expectation.

    RiscV does support this, i believe, so in that sense it fits the PC model better.

    acockworkorange ,

    I don’t follow. Isn’t the OS’s job to discover hardware? How is the CPU instruction architecture come into play here?

    z00s , to nostupidquestions in Why won't companies easy re release old games or at least make very old ones free?

    Why would they release it for free if it still had value to you?

    LifeOfChance ,

    Did you read the entire post? They clearly state multiple times that re-releasing would be fine too. They’re saying if the companies aren’t planning to do anything why not just set stuff to free there’s no harm on the older consoles for doing so. If they release them on say the switch or Xbox we can atleast purchase them to have fun. Look at pokemon the entire community wants to play the old games but aren’t able to unless they buy from a private seller.

    Some day when x86 is a thing no one has anymore, they’re going to put x86 emulation in wine and then it’ll actually be an emulator.

    AndreTelevise , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

    Most who use Arch prefer to use a customized tiling window manager instead of a desktop environment. I tried using i3, and I do understand tiling WMs, but they’re not really for me and I won’t be able to do a crazy design out of them.

    Nemo , to nostupidquestions in Why won't companies easy re release old games or at least make very old ones free?

    Rereleasing an old game has costs. Doing it for free has costs but no profit. It’s simple math.
