Which is sad. SMT is the tech, HT is the marketing from intel.

Why would I ever use a text editor? I think our approaches to viewing logs are fundamentally different.

I mean… zless and zgrep have been a thing since forever ago. And some distros ship with lessopen(?) preinstalled, so it’s seemless.

There are only so many times I’m willing to put up with lost logfile due to a crash. Logrotate wouldn’t do this.

You wouldn’t even need sudo. Just suid the binary.

It really is!

I do run wireguard on my router, but the main reason is ad blocking, not hiding services. Most services are publicly exposed.

Firefox, probably tmux.

Not sure if irregular booting is still an issue, but that sounds a lot like device names changing between boots. If I could hazard a guess - you’ve got something like /dev/sda in your fstab, where ideally you’d have UUID=1234-ABC. You can get the uuid by running

blkid | grep sda

Isn’t there a difference between public and private companies?

Just want to say you’re not alone. It matters to me, too!

The other guy had answered already, but I’ll plug my instance anyway :)

You’re right about the bias.

I propose you look for an instance that does not federate with .ml

Don’t. It’s a drug!

Once it clicks how much cruft you don’t even compile in - and as such how much cruft cannot be exploited - there’s no going back.

The only arch machine I have left is the one for steam - couldn’t be bothered to add multilib to my binhost. But even that seems to be on the path of deprecation as I’ve read this morning about wine releasing wow64 support. I think the day of 100% Gentoo infra in my household is actually getting close!

Ditto. I run OpenRC{,-init} on Gentoo and it’s really simple. Even managed to swap my system to systemd to prove intune can be run (that garbage links directly to systemd, unfortunately). Proved my point, it didn’t go anywhere, now back to openrc.

What was the old instance?

Save it in a file. It’s just text. You can even use a GUI text editor!

Portage allows that to some extent - you can make it install thr latest of everything. Depending on the ebuild, a lot of that will be straight from git. Master branch, not some random working one, mind you, but still.

Yes. In general - it’s called live cd. Some distros ship with that in their installed image. {K,X,}ubuntu come to mind. Mint might do as well. You can boot into it and look around, see if basic stuff - network, audio, etc - works.

I’m a living proof you’re the opposite of right 😁

Is this at a webserver level?
