I went camping once with my dad and a few of his buddies when it was frigid cold outside. We piled 5 adult bodies into a camper, and they also left a Coleman gas lantern lit inside the camper all night for warmth.

I couldn’t sleep for two reasons:

1. One of my dad’s buddies had horrible snoring, and

2. I could feel myself choking on the stale air. I ventured outside every so often and would hold the camper door open for a few minutes (or until I would get yelled at). I don’t remember 100% but I think I had a persistent headache that night.

I’m still convinced we could have all died.

Iirc the original steamOS was Debian based and you really had to be an experienced Linux user to use and enjoy it.

With the new steamOS (arch based?) it’s a much more streamlined experience and opens up the user base because of it

On my machine, the L2 cache is 256KiB

Is this a typo or are they running on a Pentium 3?

You don’t need to worry about him, our glorious court system has determined he’s immune from those pesky ‘laws’

Reminds me of an IRC snippet from the now defunct bash.org site -

In the future, you should look into using LVMs for your partitions. I ran into a similar problem recently where my /var needed to be increased - I was able to run a simple lvextend -L+4G /dev/myvg/var --resizefs to grow my /var by 4 gigabytes.

Before I was using LVMs though I used a gparted live disk a lot

I’ve been a decades long Gentoo user, but now I’m experimenting with NixOS as I’ve gotten older and value my time more. The 12+ hours of compiling when there’s a chromium / QT update is no longer a badge of honor. I haven’t fully converted though, Gentoo binary packages are working as an acceptable stopgap

The President we need, but not the President we deserve

Yes

This is the way (as in this is what I do). Every once in a while you’ll have to hard reset the laptop because Windows.

A thread on the site which shall not be named convinced me that a majority of the books are recently published and with above average to highly scored on reviews, so I bought it.

Why the Linux Firewalls book hails from 2007 is a strange outlier.

Not sure where you got the 25kb number from.

This tool is written in go and is a 7.8 MB compiled binary.

Force uninstalled glibc on my Gentoo, which basically broke every shell and binary on the system. Was able to repair in place because I

1. Had already compiled busybox statically
2. Still had a copy of the stage 3 tarball on / which I could use to ‘restore’ glibc libraries

Ah, the ol’ switcharoo

50 minutes seems way too long - I run Gentoo on a 2nd gen i5 and my kernel compile is always under 20 minutes.

You are using make -j4 or make -j(number of CPU cores) for parallel compile, right?
