Maciej Barć#Gentoo
guess who just deselected all packages from world LOL cancelled depclean just in time
Fabian Transchel@profoundlynerdy That is not necessarily the right question. The right question is whether #asahi supports the #neo. If and when that is the case, #gentoo will support it as well: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Asahi
Profoundly NerdyDoes Gentoo support the MacBook Neo?
I have been using Gentoo purely for show off ....and it's been decades!!

jbz🐧 Why Gentoo?
｢ One of the unique features of Gentoo is that the package tree isn’t bound to a single version of any given package. If you discover that a new version doesn’t work well for you, you have a good chance of being able to downgrade. Even if the version in question is gone from Gentoo, restoring it is relatively easy ｣

Brb, installing #gentoo and doing all new projects in #Zig now. Or maybe #clojure.
Gabriele SveltoSo here's one of the cool things you can do with Gentoo. You're not forced to stick to the latest version of a package, multiple stable versions might be available simultaneously. So in this case you can mask rsync-3.4.3 to avoid the slop-induced bugs and the package manager will automatically fall back to rsync-3.4.1-r2. See that '-r2' suffix? That's important, it means that it's the base 3.4.1 version plus a set of patches added by the Gentoo maintainers. In this particular case those patches address CVE-2025-10158, so you get the important security fix but avoid the slop issues introduced in the next stable release. Naturally, while the technical brilliance of this system is remarkable, what really shines it the will of Gentoo maintainers to go above and beyond to solve users' issues. Thanks (and donations) should go to them.

So my systems recently updated to rsync 3.4.3, and as soon as that happened my backup system - which does incremental backups using multiple --compare-dest= arguments - started to fail on anything but a full backup. Revert to 3.4.1 and it works. So I go look at the source in GitHub to see what might have changed, because there doesn't seem to be anything relevant in the changelog. Since 3.4.1, 36 commits by "tridge and claude" Oh for fuck's sakes.
