@thomasfuchs I was on the same page with exactly the same heuristic reasoning until I got to witness two students of mine working with tiling for a full semester.

Seeing their tailored workflows gave me more than enough reason to reconsider my own ways and now I can't believe I would ever go back to floating, really.

(They're using #arch, btw. I haven't been successful in converting them to #gentoo so far, bloody $&%/)

OH : #Nixos is the new #Gentoo !

#WorkLeaks

Working on a command-line toolset in #Gentoo demonstrating every feature of the LilyGO T-Beam SUPREME $45 USD: WiFi, LoRa, Bluetooth 5, SD, GPS, RTC, temp/humidity/pressure, 6-axis IMU, magnetometer, ESP32-S3, OLED, mic, power manager... but wait, there's more: it makes breakfast afterwards.

Inspired by the excellent ESP32/Lora and embedded work from Jeff Geerling and Andreas Spiess.

Vapaa #kokeilukone ja #vapaaherra'na päiviään viettävä (ja hammashuolensa hetkeksi taka-alalle painava) herrasmies… mitäs sitä tekisi? No #Arch voisi väistyä, kokeiluun vaikkapa #GuixSystem tai #Gentoo. Jälkimmäistä en ole koskaan vielä jaksanut asentaa, tahtoo puuduttaa ajatuskin siitä, että koko ajan pitää olla toinen kone vierellä näyttämässä asennusohjeita. #NixOS tuli jo kokeiltua, joten olisiko Guixin vuoro? #atkjuttuja #linux #bsd #floss

If I were to give a prize for the most disruptive workflow change of my life, it will be probably `less` changing home/end key behavior from scrolling to top/bottom (something which I do *all the time*) to disabling line wrapping and scrolling left/right (something I never do).

It's like XKCD#1172, except it's "we've decided spacebar heating is so cool, we've removed all other spacebar functions".

#Gentoo #Linux

Upgraded the router to #openwrt 25 rc3, and added a #wireguard server to it. Working well with my quick #googlepixel and #gentoo clients. True test will be next month, to see if #youtubetv thinks it's still in #sandiego while I'm overseas. 😁

#Steam #Gentoo

what are you doing steam? what is this?

@gmarkall I recommend combining the cross compiler with distcc. On my #gentoo systems this gives me effectively the effect of running natively on the system, but with much much faster builds.

As long as the system is not frozen and allows me to work on other important stuff ....I am okay to spend that much time ...obviously putting it on the back burner :)
