Your dog is probably just dreaming.

Mine does it and she sometimes starts making small barks in her sleep and twitching her legs while she does so. I assume that she's dreaming about a long fun chase.

Do keep an eye on it and reach out to a vet if you're concerned, but it sounds pretty normal based on what you've described.

Some easy display rules, and a couple of plugins and it's perfect.

It doesn't matter. Put it in ~/foo/bar/Baz for all the shell cares.

If you don't have root is it really a VPS?

Anyway, unpack the binaries to ~/local/usr/bin and add that to your PATH.

It's not quite what you've asked for here, but as a Dev I'd be remiss if I didn't shill for Gentoo.

It ticks your rolling release box, has fantastic docs, a huge package repository (and the community repo Guru), and by design enables almost infinite configurability and customisation. We also have a binary package repository now for popular architectures, so you can choose to avoid compiling if you don't want to deviate from sane defaults (or only compile in cases where you do!)

On the hardware side, we have fantastic support for a number of architectures, I recently brought up a SPARC system and have some arch64 and riscv in the past.

Finally, even if you just decide to check the distro out, the process of installing, configuring, and maintaining a Linux system is outlined in detail within our handbook, and can provide a peek behind the scenes at what some other distros abstract; it's a fantastic learning experience for those interested.

Finally, we have fantastic support through volunteers in official IRC channels and forums, as well as unofficial hubs like discord.

Hopefully I've planted a seed and you'll check it out down the line. :)

It depends. I'm glad that we have tools like proton, but when this was an explicit stretch goal that was met during funding it's a bit different.

I'm disappointed in Nightdive. Not just because they cancelled the port, but because they made a promise and they broke it, and they just remained silent about it instead of being transparent about any challenges that they were facing over the preceding years.

Contrast that with CLI where if you forgot or don't know any command there is little help or indicator of what's available and what can be done without external help.

man would like to have words with your strawman.

No, this is egregious, even for Dan. Don't feel bad. I called him out on the forums/article comments.

I'm looking at bringing Dillo back into Gentoo atm. I had to read 15k lines of code, and that's just what's different since the last release....

I'm a huge proponent of Gentoo Linux as a learning experience. It's a great way to learn how the components of a system work together and the distro enables an amazing amount of configurability for your system.

Even following a handbook install in a VM can be a good experience if you're interested.

I once spent a month automating the production of repositories for each kernel version supported on our HPC and rested every step exhaustively in isolation.

When I was satisfied I ran it with root permissions and hosed the VMs it was running on because a recursive chmod evaluated to /.

Oops.

Pipewire is great .
