Gentoo experience? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Its fun to learn how the system works, but after the 4-5th time trying to install something real quick, and there's an error in your package.use or something, it gets a lot less fun.

If you have the time and patience, its really cool. But I just want a web browser without having to edit 3+ text files to allow it to work.

Isn't it possible to download all of wikipedia, and it being surprisenly a small file size? Can it fit on a CD?

I like the kindle hardware, but the kobo software. Thankfully I managed to jailbreak my kindle while adbreak was available, so now I (almost) have the best of both worlds. (Still getting used to koreader)

I still have a soft spot for my high school playlists. Its still not making to my frequently played lists, but its worth a stop every couple months

Its not about how much it costs. It about how much it saves...

What's the story behind your username and avatar? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Reference to a bad* movie that I think everyone forgot. Except for me... Making sure that movie won't be forgotten. (Well, I think its bad)

Never bothered with an avatar.

I would prefer a smaller HUMAN internet, over a bigger AI internet.

House of Dynamite (major ending spoilers) (lemmy.world)

I watched House of Dynamite over the weekend, but found no reviews/discussion about the movie and it's ending. So I'm opening the discussion here.

The whole movie builds up to the bomb hitting the country, but didn't show what happens next, or what was the next actions done by POTUS.

I know that there is possibly no right answer to what happens next (I can't think of another more satisfying way to end the movie) but it was still annoying. Building up all that tension to just cut to title.

I still loved the movie. Saw about half trailer in front of One Battle After Another, saw Kathryn Bigelow name, and kinda zoned out, excited by another movie by her. Didn't watch any more trailers before going in.

reddit has seriously turned into facebook levels of bare minumum / advertiser friendly front page (lemmy.world)
 

i opened reddit again today because silksong is finally out. went to see how the subreddit is going. (sadly, the silksong communities here are rather sane. r/silksong is still about 40-50% insane, but more sane posts are coming in)

front page is r/nextfuckinglevel. guy chopping wood uses a tire to keep the log upright to chop the wood easier.

i remember making a reddit acount because r/fiftyfifty and r/watchpeopledie. now its just advertiser friendly r/mildlyinteresting at best making the front page.

I just finished The Pitt (2025) (lemmy.world)
 

Curious if anyone has tried to stitch all the episodes, (cutting out opening and closing credits) into one ~15 hour long video. Might be impractical to watch that way but still an interesting idea.

I didn't know where else to share this (lemmy.world)
 

It appears to be a serious video too. Lost brain cells watching it, so I don't reccomend

Get a ThinkPad+Gentoo they said. It will be fun they said. (lemmy.world)
 

1hr+ for a general update* (following the guide. Pre-kernel)

On a more serious note, gentoo is fun... On competent hardware. This is a 4 core Celeron N2940 with 4gb of RAM.

*emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --changed-use @world is too long to type...

Gentoo help: sys-kernel/Installkernel (wiki.gentoo.org)
 

Im following the handbook, and I'm up to configuring the kernel. (In a vm. Skipping the optional installing firmware/microcode for now)

Trying for an OpenRC system, but it looks like all the steps need systemd.

All the videos I watched seems to skip this step and just go to Kernel configuration and compilation, but I dont want to a) mix old videos and up-to-date handbook, and b) blindly copy commands. I understood mostly everything untill now. Just this kernel step where I got lost the first time I tried to install gentoo.

Am I allowed to use gentoo if im not 40+ or dating? (lemmy.world)
 

On a more serious note, how does updating apps on gentoo work? I understand that everything is built on your system, but then if the app is updated, do you need to re-compile every time?
