I thought the whole point of rust macros was to abstract away the scary asm at zero cost!

I didn't realize custom roms didn't support android auto. The things you have to give up for privacy 😢

Install something basic with no network access. Anytime you need network, boot Tails and use that

Yes, very

Sorry this is off-topic, but what is that GTK theme? It looks really nice

Beat me to it

Alpine is great! Apk is super fast. The package selection isn't then best, but it's on-par with dnf and apt. My one gripe is musl/openrc issues, but you're already used to that if you use Void

Thanks for the explanation! I looked into it, and it's actually not possible to boot from a USB drive on my school's computers without an admin password 😢. But thanks anyway!

Text version:

Downloaded a virus for Linux lately and unpacked it. Tried to run it as root, didn't work. Googled for 2 hours, found out that instead of /usr/local/bin the virus unpacked to /usr/bin for which the user malware doesn't have any write permissions, therefore the virus couldn't create a process file. Found patched .configure and .make files on some Chinese forum, recompiled and rerun it. The virus said it needs the library cmalw-lib-2.0.Turns out cmalw-lib-2.0 is shipped with CentOS but not with Ubuntu. Googled for hours again and found an instruction to build a.deb package from source. The virus finally started, wrote some logs, made a core dump and crashed. After 1 hour of going through the logs I discovered the virus assumed it was running on ext4 and called into its disk encryption API. Under btrfs this API is deprecated. The kernel noticed and made this partition read-only

Opened the sources, grep'ed the Bitcoin wallet and sent $5 out of pity.

Haha it's funny that the massive systemd is just a replacement for a shell script

Oh, I must have missed that! But I do agree that omz is a little bloated. I'll have to look into antidote, tho

I'm totally going to try that now! I wonder if I could use this to avoid Windows on the terrible computers at my school. Does it boot just like installation media or something?

No expirience, but I've heard porkbun.com is nice

Wow, that one's beautiful

I like how you didn't use a plugin manager for your zsh config. I'll have to look into adding the git repo to my prompt

I use Fedora on my gaming desktop, and it's rock solid stable

Question: do you like the text min/max/close buttons over colored circles or icons?

Good information. Thank you for the clarification!

I used to use ble.sh, but I switched to zsh because I was... unimpressed with the ble.sh documentation. Have you had the same problem?

That sounds really cool! Do you know if I could do with default zsh?
