Not sure if I’d trust an OS named like a Bond villain.

world-renowned, enterprise-level antivirus software running

lol. better just use defender next time.

edit: or not use windows.

You could do some automated/scripted installation VM-image builder thingy and release that. Would probably also save some manual work for you. (bash script fetching install image & run qemu, autounattend.xml, etc. all nicely released on github.) And it’d be auditable.

that’d be an awesome way to spread malware with some VM evasion.

not sure if any 3rd-party windows install should ever be trusted. no matter what usecase.

your own fault. get a nuclear reactor next time d’uh…

healthy eyesight was just a small price to pay back in those days :-P

Rather if they get merged without edits.

I’ve seen even minor changes without flawed technique or style being discussed and changed for days before getting merged.

But it’s also an excellent way to learn from pros. If the PR is worth it, they will spend the time for review and work with you until you fixed everything.

true. still, even popular sites don’t provide decent CSS for printing but rather PDF download.

it’s the site’s fault. it’s their responsibility to provide a print layout.

If they don’t, the browser has to do best guesses and FF probably doesn’t try to be very smart.

And it’s not worth the effort either. Printing on paper is becoming rare.

this user bugreports!

powertop shows discharge rate in W, Joules consumed since last charging and estimated remaining time in the “Overview” pane.

Arris makes good stuff.

Except when they hardcode the challenge for logging into the admin console into their web frontend. To call the firmware code quality subpar would be an exaggeration.

something like a drone or a router

Highly customized/optimized Linux images certainly are one use case of gentoo.

if it’s cool you might be willing to put up with the drawbacks

The “cool factor” is a significant point. My gentoo laptop (which I update rarely besides browser/security updates) boots in under 3 seconds to graphical login :-)

Compiling can be done by a the cluster

Actually most compiling is pretty quick on modern systems (compile in DDR4 ramdisk, nvme, fast CPU etc.) I’d say, most stuff compiles as quickly as installing a binary nowadays.

It’s the huge stuff that’s annoying: webkit, rust, Qt, boost, firefox/chromium etc. But one can skip updates easily or use precompiled binary packages that are provided for big stuff.

Pi4 is perfectly doable. But Pi Zero won’t be a lot of fun.

Real benefit. For average users it’s debatable but if you want to exclude certain components or have complex dependencies “just work” without tons of docker images or need bleeding edge performance by tweaking everything, I don’t see any other choice.

Also if you need to seamlessly integrate new projects that don’t provide packages, writing a live ebuild is straight forward and will keep updated from a regular git repo just like any other package.

Want to compile certain stuff with clang and the rest with gcc? Or use libressl instead of openssl? Stuff like that? No problem. Just be aware that you might need to file bug reports if you do exotic stuff because gentoo won’t prevent you from doing stuff nobody did before.

And installing gentoo by going through the install manual step-by-step, is certainly priceless for diving into linux under the hood. It’s a bit like a LFS but without the hassle.

That shouldn’t happen with fault free hardware and standard apps from official appstores. have you tried reaching out to the support?

do a factory reset and start from scratch. do optimizations step by step to learn the cause of your problem.

well, lemmy is a webapp.

Those usually store config in some www/htdocs/config dir. Lemmy does aswell and offers LEMMY_CONFIG_LOCATION to override.

which is not config files. ~/.local is just user specific override for /usr

I doubt that’s a linux problem. All apps store config in /etc, ~/.*rc or ~/.config

Everything else should be considered a bug (looking at you, systemd!)

wtf? This is just copy/paste from Todo-MVC with no additional insights other than the mission statements from the frameworks. It’s barely even a list of frameworks.

the cherry on the pie on a page about JS frontend frameworks is the Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information). when I scroll to the bottom using PrivacyBrowser X-D
