poinck,

What is the second icon?

poinck,

Uuh, so close to the water <_<

Gentoo goes Binary (packages) (www.gentoo.org)

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...

poinck, (edited )

I think I will revert some deviations from the default useflag settings to use the binary versions of some browsers.

poinck,

Please, someone fix the meme. Joule x a vector (represented by angles measured in radians).

poinck,

Rethorical question: Where in the world your insurance doesn’t cover this?

And: Buying a house … I don’t know what to say about this. Who would do such a thing?

poinck,

I find this cruel.

poinck, (edited )

Yes, I hate it. Even here in Germany you have to pay extra if you do not want the “repairs” done in a way that your teeth look normal again. But at least, bad teeth are considered a health issue here and you get treated when you have problems with your teeth and don’t have to wait too long if it is a kind of emergency.

poinck,

Your cat is silently laughing.

But, nevertheless, I would have thought that Debian could not be crashed so easily. Have you tried another window manager?

poinck,

You can use Evolution to set it up and then use gnome-calender to use it (I set it up this way for my radical server). I think, what they will do is, integrating the cal/carddav-setup in to GOA so that you don’t have to interact with Evolution anymore.

The “backend” is currently managed by evolution-data-server. Maybe they will replace it some day, too.

“I am more like a flatpak guy myself”

poinck,

Thank you, I needed that (:

poinck,

A custom Iosevka build for terminal and code and B612 font for everything else on the desktop. I moved recently from Monoid and Atkinson Hyperledgible.

poinck,

I never used a spin-off of a unique distribution of GNU/Linux on my own computer, except the dark Ubuntu times. It seemed right at the time.

Now, I don’t see why I should recommend a distro that tries to be easier on new users when the original has sane defaults and is closer to upstream regarding all the tools and software bundled with it.

Here are my recommendations for new users in that order (regardless of their computer knowledge): Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, Slackware, LFS. Friends can help with the installation and should consider easy maintainability when dealing with users who just want to use it.

My personal preferences are Gentoo and Debian.

poinck,

Indeed, but what has this to do with my recommendation? ^^

It clearly depends on what the new wants to get in to. Gentoo is a smart way to learn a lot while installing it. I mean it; this is no joke!

poinck,

I have made very good experience with Steam installed from flatpak. Only my loved browser “qutebrowser” seems to be abandoned in the flathub-repo. It takes so much time to compile it on Gentoo, so flatpak is a very good fallback for programs with painful compile times.

poinck,

Yes, Pilates is great! Still need to find a new course for after work (old one is not campatible with my work hours anymore), but at least 34 km on 3 to 4 days by bike is my current workout. Don’t do home office unless you use the time saved for something like Pilates, jogging or other recommandations from above.

poinck,

I just want to confirm, that raisins do not belong anywhere! I rather have pineapples in my cheesecake.

poinck,

Oh, I like olives.

poinck,

Interesting. That reminds that there is indeed another dish that is ok with raisins: Christmas loaf (Stollen).

poinck,

But it needs to be an American cheese cake with pinapple, not that stuff we have here in Europe.
