"oh no, the airplane is falling apart! is there an engineer on board?"
yes, me, hi hello, I'm an engineer :3
"oh, thank the heavens, can you save us?"
did you try adding Rust to the engines?
"how would that help-"
we're headed to Wayland, right? that's the goal?
"what? there aren't even any airports there, this flight is headed to PDX"
can we check the flight logs to root cause the issue?
"dude the engine is on fucking fire"
oh that's okay. it's noncritical because of the backup engines so i usually just ignore it because it's only really a mild inconvenience and it takes longer to fix than it's worth. xkcd 1205
"the whole thing is going to blow up and kill us all if we don't put out that fire"
just sandbox it tbh. put it in FireJail. that way it won't hurt the whole system even if it totally blows up and crashes

Deliberately starving a civilian population and then setting up aid sites as a death trap to massacre starving people trying to get food is too evil to wrap your mind around. If we saw a supervillain doing this in a movie we'd think it was dumb, because it wouldn't be believable.

@Zennagain yeah I bookmarks a whole bunch of those ambient videos. Cyberpunk themed, 1950s light jazz, 1950s dinner music jazz, various rainstorms or foggy night in a cabin themed. They're pretty good for ambient background filler. Not something really to watch and in fact there are a few out there that will tell you it's with a black screen. Also binaural hemi-sync ones meant for headphones use to produce healing harmonic tones or induce brainwave Alpha Beta Gamma Delta states.
it feels redundant, but i wonder if there's a way to get around the region block of the jp version of uma on steam, then install a mod that (reliably) translates the stuff in the game

I seriously hate, when TV shows baddies just ignore their stated ideologies, only because the current scenario allows for more asshole behavior. Bad guys don't have to be cartoonishly flat. They can be complex.
Here is what I mean. In the squid game there was always since the first episode heavily implied, that the most important part of the game was willing participation as well as fair reward. They even made participants sign a contract, and BOTH SIDES of the game did obide by it. The contract, rules and fairness made the entire concept legit, and the environment feel even more fanatical.
You even get on the begining of 2nd season kinda weird but still solid proof of this rule, when the recruiter shows to truly believe in the games the moment he shoots himself because he lost, even though he did have an option to fight for his own life.
Yet, in this season, a baby is forced to play, while not being able to even comprehend what is happening. Her mother also died with no reward for other participants. This is just a blatant and absurd shitting on any semblence of fairness 2 times in a row.
What a bullshit. I honestly lost so much respect for the writers at that point. Yes, it would take a bit of discipline to write the game currators to take the baby away from the game, but it could still be a heart tearing scene if done properly. Not to mention, that it would take NO DISCIPLINE AT ALL to just call the baby 457 instead of this bullshit. It wouldn't cost the writers more money to increase the payout in the show. It was just retarded to be more poetic.
I used Gentoo almost exlusively from like 2003 to maybe 2012 or 2013. I switched to Arch about then. But quite recently I made the switch back to Gentoo on my primary box and I'm happy I did.
Only thing I still need to do to really make it long-term sustainable for my particular use is to set up a build server on my network. My "primary box" is in the room where I sleep and I need it dark and quiet when I'm sleeping. Can't have MOBO color-shifting LEDs and fan sounds overnight. And I can't compile something like Chromium in less than the 15-to-16-ish hours I'm awake in a given day. (And I'd prefer to compile it myself rather than using a binary package.) Hence the need for a build server.
gentoo is less about compiling from source (I mean it can be about that too) and more about having a lot of choice and really nice tooling. it's in some ways a bunch more stable and declarative than arch. packaging your own stuff is even easier and you can just have most packages be stable while only running unstable version of the packages you explicitly care about 😀
So, I've been using Arch Linux ARM on Raspberry Pis for some "desktop systems" as well as for a janky-ass NAS solution, but that project is kindof dying. They go many months in a row sometimes without any package updates. It's wild. And when people ask WTF is going on and ~~offer~~ beg to be allowed to help in some way, the admins lock the thread.
So, I've been looking to switch my Raspberry Pi's to something that doesn't depend so much on some "project" out there to be able to continue to use.
The main Gentoo project fully supports ARM. And even if it didn't, it'd be a lot easier to use Gentoo without support than Arch.
Switching my main box (not a Raspberry Pi -- it's an x86_64 system) to Gentoo was basically for the purpose of trying out Gentoo again and evaluating whether I want to take the plunge and switch everything to Gentoo.
Aside from that, there's SystemD which is yucky. (Yes, I know about Artix, but when last I tried it, it didn't really feel "ready for prime time". It depends a lot on the main Arch repos.)
Plus, I do kindof like the idea of "more control over my system(s)". Configuring/compiling my own kernel (yes, you can do that on Arch, it's much less "in the spirit of" Arch) to make it as minimal as possible and disable everything I don't need. And of course USE flags are a plus if you want a light system.
Ah, Ok, yeah Arch on ARM is struggling at the moment
I have / had some Ras Pis on it, but they wrapped up .. Pi0? a while back, so had to look at Raspbian (or whatever it's called now)... I'd not considered Gentoo for them... hmmm
Running a couple of Pis with Gentoo myself right now. It works as well as anything, although unless you're very patient you'll want to set up a binary package host (or distcc or something) to take the load off the Pi's somewhat anemic processor.
I have a soft spot for Gentoo, even though I haven't used it in years. It was one of my first experiences with Linux, since it was installed in one of the computer labs in college. I just remember that the windows had this physics jiggle effect when you dragged them around. I was so surprised that Linux had a more "fun" aesthetic than Mac or Windows did.
The “fun” aspect was what drew me to BeOS when it was near its heyday. What that thing would do in comparison to Winbloze at the time and the user experience in general was astonishingly more pleasant.
I remember their simple web server called Diner I had a website hosted on an older machine running Diner in my lab and it was just always on and when my office got DSL I felt like a king having that site up and accessible from anywhere, knowing it was on a box in my office and running Diner on BeOS.
I tried to make this logo from scratch in Blender for a wallpaper and kinda couldn't get the shape right because the angle of the actual logo is a bit weird.
Gentoo is great. I used it for a few years 20 years ago and I still think the package manager is the best I've ever used. I wouldn't use Gentoo today, but I'm really glad I went through the install and maintenance process. It didn't make me a guru, but I did learn a thing or two about Linux.
I ran Gentoo back in the early aughts; it was hella better than Redhat, but it felt like I was constantly compiling stuff, and new installs and upgrades could sometimes take more than a day. I don't remember what I jumped to after Gentoo, but I've never considered it again because of the lack of prehbuilt binaries. It seemed bitcoinish to have thousands of people wasting CPU cycles compiling the same package when it could be compiled once and redistributed.
Where Gentoo is nice is in the build flags: there's really no way to get around compiling yourself if you want to exclude optional dependencies, and Gentoo had that in spades. I am just not sure how much that's actually used anymore, but having binaries gives you the best of both worlds.
Thanks for posting that; I may have to re-investigate Gentoo.
It sounds like a cool distro but I don't see any advantages compared to NixOS, aside from maybe the option to make it more minimal for constrained environments.
it's a lot less scuffed in some ways while still giving you a lot of control and a lot of tools for declarative system management. it's also waaay better documented. it's comfy.
Why does every one need to compare every distro to NixOS? We get it. It's neat. It's immutable. It's indestructible. But they are fundamentally different stuffs.
You can set it up to compile all your software yourself with the exact options you want, just like Gentoo. Not how most people use it, but still, NixOS can fulfill some of the same roles as Gentoo, they are very comparable.
I used Gentoo for ages.... it was the only distro I'd consider for my personal projects. Eventually, the amount of time it took to compile packages wore me out and I switched to fedora. Maybe I'm just old but watching gcc fly by for hours on end to compile X11 was neat but is not how I want to spend my Saturday anymore. Maybe I'll build out a VM for old times sake....
defeats the purpose? Also, like I mentioned, I used it ages ago....binary packages when I was using it weren't very common. I see they "went binary" a few years back... but then, why bother with Gentoo?
I'm in the same boat as you. Loved it for what it was on my old Pentium 2 (no internet). Learner a lot and had a blast. Not a daily driver now I have time constraints and binary packages lose what made it special. Happy on Arch for personal stuff and Debian for mission critical stuff.
I dunno. I have a fair number of packages installed from AUR, and the Rust ones take forever to compile. CPUs may have gotten faster, but some popular languages have gotten much slower to compile.
The most popular Linux distros are binary based. Gentoo upgrades build all new software from source. If you don't want long install times, don't usr one of these compile-everything-from-source distros.
There's no option to install Windows from source, and it doesn't really come with anything more than the OS, anyway, so it's apples yto oranges. Windows might not even be compilable on consumer hardware.
@ChristiJunior In Europe it's illegal to criticize either. But you are allowed to create political parties that argue you should be able to criticize Islam so long as you also suck off Jews, though said parties are never actually allowed to win.
For Linux users, who also use VLC Media Player with DVD's, this thing was driving me nuts for two years... some DVD extras getting the last 2-3 second chopped off.
