  • The most popular Linux distros are binary based. Gentoo upgrades build all new software from source. If you don’t want long install times, don’t usr one of these compile-everything-from-source distros.

    There’s no option to install Windows from source, and it doesn’t really come with anything more than the OS, anyway, so it’s apples yto oranges. Windows might not even be compilable on consumer hardware.





  • I had a roommate who had a python of some sort. It was 6’ long-ish.

    I wouldn’t say it was affectionate, but it was fine with being handled. It’d just get comfortable, hang out, and watch whatever was going on. Sometimes it might slither around, but it always seemed to me it was just finding a place to get comfortable. It seemed to spend most of its time sleeping. It didn’t seem to care who it was hanging out with; I never saw it demonstrate a preference between people, even its owner.

    It was a really easy pet to keep, all things considered. The worst thing about it was feeding it. It refused to eat dead things, so my friend had to go get live mice from the pet store, put the snake and the mouse in the bath tub, and then leave them alone for an hour or so. It was such a fussy eater - sometimes, it just wouldn’t, so we’d sometimes also have a pet mouse for a couple of weeks. I wasn’t interested in watching it kill the mouse, but my friend said it just wouldn’t eat if anyone was in the room watching it. Thankfully, it only needed to eat once every few weeks.

    Honestly, I never saw the attraction. It didn’t do much, you couldn’t do much with it, it didn’t seem to seek out contact with people, didn’t seem to care one way or the other about being pet. I think it mostly liked being held because it like the warmth - but it’d be just as happy on its rock under the heat lamp.

    Oh, shedding was cool. Once. After the first time you watch it, it’s kind of like watching paint dry.

    But, some people really like snakes, and that’s cool.




  • It’s not, really. All of those programs are Go, and single executables. There’s no “install” for either gonic or ostui (IIRC, also Navidrome): you download or compile the executable and run it, and you’re off and running.

    Someone mentioned Docker; in this case it’s unnecessary unless you’re doing it for security. They’re just each a single binary. You’ll have to either create a config for gonic or Navidrome, or run them with commands telling them where your music lives, but that’s it. Running on the same machine, you don’t even have to open the ports on your firewall. However, if you do, Tempo for Android lets you stream the music to your phone from gonic or Navidrome, too.

    These are very, very simple programs to run. ostui is a TUI, so if you prefer GUIs you’ll want a different client, but both of the servers are easy to run and nothing to install - just run them as you, not even root.




  • Herbstluftwm. It’s one of the main reasons I use it.

    You can run commands on the command line to create your layouts for one or more desktop (tagged spaces), assign programs to appear on tagged spaces, and then run the programs. Put it all in a shell script and hlwm runs it when it starts.

    I use xtoolwait for programs I want multiple windows on different desktops for, like terminals.

    I have three monitors; one is a status window, and the other two are grouped together in 8 different tags. Mod4+9 focuses the status screen, Mod4+[1-8] switch the other two monitors in sync to the other workspaces. It’s all set up when I log in, including the creation of several terminals each running tmux from sessions restored by trum-session. The only thing I have to do is enter a password to unlock my secrets so background processes can start doing their thing.




  • That would make a huge difference.

    I ran Gentoo back in the early aughts; it was hella better than Redhat, but it felt like I was constantly compiling stuff, and new installs and upgrades could sometimes take more than a day. I don’t remember what I jumped to after Gentoo, but I’ve never considered it again because of the lack of prehbuilt binaries. It seemed bitcoinish to have thousands of people wasting CPU cycles compiling the same package when it could be compiled once and redistributed.

    Where Gentoo is nice is in the build flags: there’s really no way to get around compiling yourself if you want to exclude optional dependencies, and Gentoo had that in spades. I am just not sure how much that’s actually used anymore, but having binaries gives you the best of both worlds.

    Thanks for posting that; I may have to re-investigate Gentoo.


  • I think the situation is that people who have hypolycemic attacks can go into a fugue where they don’t know what they’re doing.

    I once had heat stroke (after PT in Panama). The guys said I just walked out of formation, ran into the Sargent, and then fell flat on my face. All I remember was standing in formation after a run, getting tunnel vision, and then waking up in the clinic.

    The bubbles around her head as she’s walking indicate something’s going on. Although mine wasn’t blood sugar, I feel this comic.
