None of their expenses mention developer pay or salaries. Is the entire thing voluntary?

Not with gentoo!

I tried using bubble wrap for this purpose, but it’s too difficult and doesn’t seem to target this use case.

Arch is not the most widely supported distro (as in supported by the creators of programs). You will see it supported most by some of the more indie open source programs, but beyond that, Debian and Ubuntu are more likely to be explicitly supported.

Arch definitely requires you to read. It’s a distro for those who want to assume greater amount of choice and freedom in their system. If you prefer an out of the box experience, try another distro.

Arch’s limitation is that you kinda have to stick with the latest version of things. This is usually a good limitation, and imo better than the limitation of having to stick with an old frozen version.

Depending on the package, trying an older version may not work or even break the system if dependencies or reverse dependencies are expecting it to be a certain version, which is often the case.

Anyone looking for the best package manager needs to look only at portage/emerge and nix

But mullvad stopped allowing port forwarding. Is there an exception for tailscale??

How does this work??? I thought I wouldn’t be able to use Mullvad with port forwarding. Would I need to have a vps? Would the VPS not disallow me for connecting to VPN or detecting p2p traffic?

I tried LFS one time, and accidentally ran one or more of the commands on my host machine, rendering it unusable

Deleting the bottles directories from the repos directory seems to fix it, thanks for the advice!

Update: Following your advice, I proceeded to delete the files for “bottles” from the repo folder in /var/lib/… and that seems to solve the issue! thanks for the help! :)

thanks for the tip about storage space, although I do seem to have 100 GB of free space so I do not think this is the issue?

However I noticed I have a filesystem /run/user/1000 it seems to be created by flatpak, and it has 1.6 GB of total space. Should this be a source of worry?

The other advice about deleting the directories does not seem to work either :(

what do screen recording softwares for wayland use under the hood then?

does OBS just do everything with ffmpeg, or does it introduce extra functionality?

You can do it for xmpp and Jitsi right?

So there is no way with Rsync (under ssh) to set settings (config file or other) that will apply to all clients !!??
So it’s the client that configure rsync and the server !? there is no way around ?!

You basically want to use the daemon but under ssh. I looked into this before, and I think it is possible but the command for it is weird and confusing. Wish I remembered it, but just commenting to say that I vaguely remember there’s a way (or maybe I’m hallucinating).

For that use case, there’s two things you can do:

1. Rent a seedbox
2. Have a local server for downloading torrents, and use a vpn

My torrent client is transmission. It has many ways to do what you ask.

First there’s a web ui which I can access from my pc or mobile. I can input the magnet link there and download.

Transmission also has an RPC client, and because of that many third party clients exist for it. Android apps, CLIs, etc. For all of which, i paste the magnet link and download.

EDIT: I believe Oracle cloud has something against P2P downloads, but I don’t remember what exactly.

I don’t quite understand the use case. Where are you trying to transfer from? PC? Smartphone (what kind?)? From devices you don’t control?

I use rsync to transfer from, PC, Android and other servers. It works well for my use case.

Unfortunately bspwm is better. Binary separation allowed for just about any layout imaginable, but river does not.
