  • A month with LFS (Linux From Scrath) + musl + eudev + libressl + qi package builder helper. What a great experience.

  • Never actually tried LFS but I have done Gentoo from stage 1 (back when that was an option), so I'm going to use your statement as an indication I can skip LFS 😁

  • I was actually tempted to try learning nasm for funsies a year or two ago until I discovered it doesn't support ARM processors 🥲

  • So if you want to use systemd-boot as the bootloader you have to (apparently) install the systemd-utils package. Or you can just use GRUB / efistub.

    Edit: looks like groche beat me to it 😁

    It's probably been 4 years since I last had to rebuild my Gentoo, but I would be very surprised if there weren't good OpenRC instructions. I built mine with systemd and Gentoo handbook instructions always felt like 'Are you sure you don't want to use OpenRC? Ok, here are the systemd steps I guess'

  • An obviously talented programmer is no longer working on a free project that very few people can meaningfully contribute to - that is a shame.

    I can't even get myself to learn rust, let alone make a GPU driver while reverse engineering blackbox hardware.

  • Need help with setting up full disk encryption (FDE) where /home is on another drive.

    Jump

  • But how to get the OS to recognize it?

    My approach for doing this in Gentoo with an encrypted /home is to configure dracut to make a slightly customized initrd.

    Thanks to dracut modules, not too much configuration is needed - it prompts on boot for the password to decrypt, and then fstab is just configured to mount the decrypted uuid.

    Someone else mentioned using multiple key slots, but I think this is your only real secure option.

    Edit: on second thought, you may be able to get this to work in grub simply by adding rd.luks.uuid=xxx as a kernel boot parameter, and then having the decrypted /dev/mapper uuid in fstab for /home

  • A few decades ago I bought a used IBM as a *nix server, but it would lock up at nearly random intervals like you describe. Tried a different Linux distro... same issues. Tried BSD - same issues!

    It wasn't until after I learned of the 1999-2007 capacitor plague that I inspected the motherboard and saw that yes, several of the capacitories were bulging.

    https://www.robotroom.com/Faulty-Capacitors-1.html

    I mailed the motherboard to a servicer who replaced all the capacitors for a nominal fee. After that it was a rock solid system. You mention that this is recent hardware, but I would still suggest taking a peek at those caps.

  • 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

  • is there any way to increase the size of my /var directory under debian 12.7? (flatpak related)

    Jump

  • 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
