cadekat,

How likely is it that your home and work are 20 minutes away from train stations because your region prioritizes cars?

cadekat,

TIL! Guess I saw the reverse once, and it’s stuck with me. Carry on.

Has the meaning of this template changed? Like isn’t the pink guy supposed to be a thing supporting the white dude so they can accomplish a goal they couldn’t have done alone?

For example, the pink guy could be “Debian”, the white person “Ubuntu”, and the yellow goal “Being an awesome distribution”.

cadekat,

Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot expands to something like /home/username/boot.

/boot is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot is a directory in your home folder.

cadekat,

I recently discovered emerge --jobs 8 --load-average 8 instead of just make -j8. Not gonna help much on a 900MHz pentium, but it has really sped up my build times.

cadekat,

There’s a three month period after giving notice of resignation in France? Is that just a blanket thing, or part of your contract? Does it work both ways (like if you’re terminated without cause)?

cadekat,

Should’ve been, “It was a mistake, in Heinzsight.”

Considering Gentoo

I have an old iMac that I am planning to install some flavor of Linux on and while I was looking at various distros it occurred to me that it might be a good exercise to install Gentoo on it. Other than a separate machine for documentation and downloading the necessary packages, what else should I have set up to try this? Has...

cadekat,

Go for it then! Gentoo is a blast (if you enjoy this sort of thing) and is surprisingly stable once you get it set up.

One tip, before I forget, is to save your firmware from MacOS before wiping the drive. Unfortunately I don’t remember where it’s located, and no longer have access to try and find it 😅

cadekat,

You’ll need to be a bit more specific about the iMac. What year is it?

If it’s pre-2017, I’d expect some difficulty with the WiFi. If it’s newer, you might have luck with wiki.t2linux.org/distributions/…/installation/ . I haven’t followed that guide, so YMMV.

cadekat,

Won’t that lead to some horrible hug-of-death type scenarios if a post from a small instance gets popular on a huge one?

cadekat,

If you’re only responsible for caching for your own users, you don’t unduly burden smaller instances.
