OpenRC represent!

At least on zsh it would pop both of those as suggestions you can cycle through.

I did not know that! Thank you!

What do you mean by implementations? Is this closer debian vs rhel or more like linux vs bsd?

OpenRC is daemon supervisor (probably not the right name).

OpenRC-init is the init.

By default, on OpenRC installations, the init will be SysV.

I have switched a few boxen to openrc-init and have to report that it works fine.

killall -9 processname works well when you can’t be asked to get the pid.

kill -9 $$ is my favourite way to save face when I enter something into shell that shouldn’t be in its history. Usual situation - switching panes and forgetting a recently used sudo session. Switching to root and getting there without a password prompt, but still typing it in. Wouldn’t be helpful in situations where shell history is monitored remotely, but hey ho.

Honestly, main + guru has not made feel like anything’s missing at all.

The link does not load for some reason, but tar itself does not compress anything. Compression can (and usually is) applied afterwards, but that’s an additional integration that is not part of Tape ARchive, as such.

tar was nearly and adult when zip was born.

I’ve been occasionally giving Linux a shot since bubuntu 5.04 and it would never stick. I guess many things aligned at some point in 2017-18 when I just gave up on windows and microsoft in general. I’ve been sticking to my beloved gnome, fighting it to do things it wasn’t built to.

And then came 2019 and sway 1.0 got released. It felt like reddit imploded. Decided to finally give this “tiling nonsense” a try. A week or so later it finally clicked and I’ve not been fighting my system anymore.

Fast forward a few years and I’m now a Gentoo, OpenRC, OpenRC-init and Hyprland nutter :)

Double check if you have the -modules and/or -modules-extra installed for that version of the kernel. Literally had this issue at work on a 14.04 (sigh, I know) box.

Because that requires actually understanding the way a computer works.

Excuse me, sir, it’s the Gentoo bits that are supposed to be hard, not yours.

On an unrelated note - I’m building a binhost. Currently stuck on trying to figure out a way of building packages without instaling them and not using quickpkg>

Wait, there’s someone here aware of hardened gentoo? Well I’ll be damned! Come out of the shadows, fellas!

Thanks for giving a genuine smile :)

That’s… Not at all how it works.

Don’t worry, you’re one of today’s lucky 10000!

Launcher on android is just that - an app to launch other apps. Other apps can and do run in the background, without ever being explicitly launched. Think play services, location provider, wifi connection manager, etc. Since google runs its stuff at the highest level - nothing can hide from it. Other apps, like netflix, utilise internal telemetry. Assholes like facebook push the boundaries to the limit and collect literally every input of every sensor to have as much data about your environment as possible.

TL;DR - custom launcher cool, but no cure.

Most of them.

• Debian world - apt sucks. For something with a sole purpose of resolving a dependency tree, it’s surprisingly bad at that.

• Redhat world - everything is soooo old. I can see why business people like it, buy I rarely, if ever, agree with business people.

• Opensuse world - I’ve only tried it once, probably 15 years ago. Didn’t really know my way around computers all that much at the time, but it didn’t click and I’ve left it. Later on I found out about their selling out to Microsoft and never bothered touching it again.

• Arch - it was my daily for a year or two. Big fan. It still runs my email. At some point the size of packages started to annoy me, though. Still has the best wiki. I’ve never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with.

I’ve got the Gentoo bug now. For the first time I genuinely feel ~/. A lean, mean system of machines :)

It’s not. TempleOS is a famous from scratch OS created by a guy with serious mental illness. It’s a sad story, but the capability of that guy was incredible. He’s gone now :(

This is from 4 years ago!
