I use #linux with #niri window manager and I need a new monitor. Anyone could give me a feedback about how window managers perform in hi-resolution monitors? Particularly, is 4K overkill?
I also want to use ddcutil to change brightness (I have v

Ah, an update...

Oops! Bloody hell....some #rust fanboy messed with some core system package and messed up and dish out half-arsed version , which essentially failed ....heck

Damnit! I have nothing against the new surge of Rust ...but for fuck's sake ....stop spoling

Nou kernel a #Gentoo, 6.12.21. Sempre és un moment delicat configurar-lo, compilar-lo i reiniciar el sistema.

I compiled Rust from sources with alternative compiler
Mrustc (C++) without any binary blobs.

As you may know Rust compiler distributed as Rust sources
meant to be build by older "snapshot" of itself. Which
violate open source paradigm.

I was able to solve this in Gentoo GNU/Linux OS with
reproducible way. First I compile Rust 1.74 version and
then in chain I compile all versions to 1.84.

All steps took approximately 8 hours, but after it is fast
to compile new version, without blobs.

Okay, now I'm so lazy that I'm writing a zsh script to automatically activate a `venv` if it's in the current directory and deactivate on any parent directories.

// check code in first reply, change `TRUST_DIR` and `venv` if you prefer another name.

Ok, I'm lazy enough to implement zsh hook for automatically activating python venv.

K1 bekommt die Tage nen neuen PC für das tägliche Leben und zum Zocken. Einzige "Einschränkung": da wird nie im Leben Windoof drauf kommen. Ich habe gerade nach Wunsch-Distribution gefragz, und K1 sagte: "Ubuntu."

Ich: "Wieso? Mach doch ma Districhooser."

Tja. Jetzt überlegt K1, die beiden Top-Vorschläge zu testen: #Arch und #Gentoo.

Buon compleanno, Gentoo!
Ecco la tua torta, vai avanti e compilatela da solo

Not used #gentoo for nigh-on 5 years, and I still occasionally have to suppress the urge to type `eix-sync` instead of `apt update`.

Nothing like trying to compile #Gentoo packages and #Windows Server 2003 using Windows 10 at the same time while listening to #Lagtrain.

It's kind of soothing watching it all come together.

One of the #Linux distributions we hear very little about in the industry for cloud/#VM usage is #GentooLinux. But that could change with the #Gentoo project now putting out official #QCOW2 disk images to make it easier deploying this source-based Linux distribution within #virtualmachines. With these QCOW2 images, the XFS file-system is their preferred choice used for its copy-on-write, reflinks, and other features.

This week's Gang of Four consists of Slackware KDE 6.3.3, Gentoo with dwm & Qtile Wayland, AerynOS with Gnome 48 and Asterix Saigon, my Aurora beta spin (Fedora 42). Although all are rolling and rocking this absolutely feels solid
