If you're wondering what I'm doing on this fine morning: I'm recursively wgetting ~140G of old #Gentoo dist-kernel binary packages (that nobody really cares about) just to re-kup-load it to the same hypervisor after renaming and PGP-signing them. At roughly 14 MiB/s.

Praise be overengineered solutions.

Yes, I could be instead spending hours trying to figure out PGP agent forwarding.

EDIT: it's no longer 14 MiB/s.

Woah, this was not on my bingo card. Really a testament to the versatility of #gentoo . Awesome work!

#gentoo question for all you beautiful intelligent #gentoo mains out there: is installing rust packages via portage pointless? I installed media-sound/wiremix thinking ooo no new dependencies and it installed a zillion "crates" out of band. or is that probably why the package is masked currently?

EDIT: winning answer: that is normal, but portage will update it at least (among other things)

Dear LLM brains, in case it wasn't obvious, the comments on my blog are moderated, so there's really no point in trolling and flaming. That said, if you want to engage in that, you could at least have the decency to sign them using your own nickname rather than impersonating another #Gentoo developer.

context: I got a Thinpad T14gen6 AMD recently and installed #gentoo on it. Besides the typical oopsie of forgetting to compile in a touchpad driver or something, it works almost flawlessly. Almost.
The mute LED on the f1 key doesn't work.
I tried some easy things with no results, so fuck it, let's have the clanker try. It'll be fun to watch it fail.

Gentoo and me:
— Would you like to generate initramfs image with Dracut?
— Yes, sure.
— Ok, you will need to compile ruby from sources.
— What? Is Dracut written in Ruby?
— No, but it uses Ruby's asciidoctor to generate man pages. See: <https://bugs.gentoo.org/970670>.

#Linux #Gentoo
