Ei olis ollenkaan huono vaihtoehto tänne…

Not really You can’t easily just run your normal linux programs on them.

Huh. Mänipä se vuosi nopiaan.

Ja vaikka lastenkin. Tarhaikäisten myös.

Pääasia, että tutkitaan.

Kuulin radiosta, että alus olisi nyt “luovutettu supon syleilyyn”.

Eli siis toisin sanoen, nyt asiaa tutkitaa ihan oikeasti.

Jalmari Helander pääs kättelyjonoon.

Wörtti.

😅

Mulla tuola työasema, jossa pari 20-ytimistä prossua ja 256GB RAM. Windows 11:sta laitteistovaatimukset on sille liikaa. Mutta Gentoo työasemana se on melko epeli peli.

Olen monttu auki ainakin viikon putkeen.

Interesting…

I’ve created another xkb layout (of which syntax is cryptic)… Then modified window manager hotkeys. Then there’s completely other configuration for virtual terminals. sigh

keyd looks promising tool.

… and unfortunately so is Share Point.

Gentoo’s Portage has a “world file”. It contains list of packages (in plain text) which user has explicitly installed.

Since Gentoo allows customization of almost every package, there’s actually more things to explore. I, personally, have created my custom profiles as a base for my Gentoo installs. With Gentoo the rabbit hole goes deep…

I’ve been driving Gentoo on M2 Air now for some time. Maybe a year. I wouldn’t have bought it if it weren’t for Asahi folks.

“Can’t run Linux? I’ll pass.”

I hope I get to use usb-c display mode in the future.

To think of it - I think the only occasion where we use p in place of / is rpm.

Ok. This has to be something that’s different in America and Europe then. At least here, in Finland, we always write km/h.

Because I was one who needed to pause for a second until I got what kph meant.

Off-topic: why to write kph when the most logical way would be to write kmh, km/h or kmph? kph translates to 'kilo per hour". km/h would be the mathematically correct.

Because systemd replaced too many important components users still wanted to keep using… and politics. Not many people like Lennart (the guy who started the project). Politics ruin everything.

For me the breaking point was systemd-journald. Corrupted journal when you desperatedly needed to know what went wrong was too much. Last time I gave systemd a try was several years ago… Something like 5 to 7 years, so things might have changed a lot.

Also I’m in the minority here. I like to custom my system components too. systemd just doesn’t fit there. Also I administrate one lightweight, low power box, which uses musl libc. Last time I checked systemd needed glibc.

Enough ramblings. Here’s some reading for you… note that there’s most probably very biased technical writings here and there, so use common sense and verify the claims if you want the real truth. Then judge yourself, don’t let anyone else judge for you.

Initial commit on Oct 21, 2023

If I’d implement a new init system, the dependency system would be one of the first on my TODO list. So… That’s strange. 🤔

Veikkaisin, että tulee laki vastaan tossa. Ja toki kalliiksi.

I wonder what new does this bring into the table?

I mean we already have at least these in addition to systemd:

• OpenRC + openrc-init
• s6 + s6-rc
• runit
• Epoch
• dinit
• minit
• GNU Shepherd
• finit

The state being stored in RAM seems like a nifty feature. I like it.

Very quickly glanced… I think it lacks service supervision and user services. Although user services are missing in many others too. Except it looks like users can run Nitro by themselves (autostart via cron @boot maybe?). Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.

Anyway, more choices leads to more ideas being implemented. 👍
