I use my machine all the time when its updating no problem. You can always configure portage to leave a core or two idle anyway.

Like Tech Deck style? I never thought people could actually do tricks with them.

Not every URL, just every domain.

That makes sense. I'm coming at this as someone who drinks diet coke because they like it rather than to avoid drinking sugar.

Amusingly it's the fact that diet coke is relatively less sweet that makes me like it.

Terraform is great automation, but it really shines over scripts in a few ways:

• intrinsic documentation for your infrastructure
• much less brittle to differences in the initial state
• changing your setup later doesn't require any new script logic, just a simple config change
• much better support for collaborative editing

Why not though? The health impact of moderate diet soda consumption seems to be pretty negligible.

Man, I was tempted to stay on reddit when RR got exempted. But, you know, "First they came for the proprietary clients. . ."

I am proud of QuantumBadger, though, for helming such an excellent no-nonsense app that even Spez couldn't justify killing it.

How do you mean?

I've heard of things like the sensation of sweetness being decoupled from satiation leading to a greater urge for sweetness in compensation, but at least personally that's not happening to me lol.

It's more complicated to make money producing FOSS, capitalism or not. Lots of reasonable developers would still choose closed source even without capitalism.

One nine is 90% uptime, three is 99.9% etc.

Just following in the footsteps of the Silk Road's creator on Stack Overflow. The FBI mentioned the post specifically.

I see it more as pride in the community and administrators. Plenty of distros are complete passion projects and aren't undeserving of pride.

Cool; I'll check quickpkg out

Was it much of a pain to set up? I was hemming and hawing about distcc recently, but binhost sounds potentially better.

When I learned that snap has a hardcoded requirement for a snap directory polluting your home directory, and that the devs answer is basically to shrug their shoulders, that was enough to turn me into an anti-snap zealot.

Binary speed is really the least reason to use Gentoo.

There are a lot of thorny issues in package distribution that source builds completely sidestep.

Install-it-yourself plus source updates are a lot to ask, but if you can get the hang of it the benefits are pretty sweet.

I'm not saying anyone is wrong for shying away from Gentoo, but using a comprehensive desktop environment, systemd, and gentoo-kernel gives a very non-fiddly experience.

Combine that with running updates overnight or honestly just running them in the background while you work, and it's not nearly as bad as its reputation.

Still very much a commitment vs other distros, but not as bonkers as it can seem.

Sounds like an awesome setup. I can't quite let go of my illusory -march=native benefits lol.

Having Gentoo update overnight is no big deal. Even better, just leave a core or two free and let updates run while you use the machine anyway!

That being said, Gentoo is definitely a time commitment and I completely understand that it's a particular taste.

Building from source does provide a lot of advantages though, and I don't mean faster binaries.

How is a lack of magnitude order objectively wrong? A date format is ultimately a language feature, and the US format successfully transmits the needed info just fine within its natural context.

It may seem objective from your perspective, but language is used in many more contexts than those you are familiar with.
