#Salt is true quality software. It even comes with a time bomb that makes old versions suddenly stop working in 2024:

Well, who would guess, it's a known bug in mimalloc.
https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc/issues/798
Of course since it's used via #RustLang, everything is vendored and statically linked, so instead of fixing just one (mimalloc) package in #Gentoo to link correctly, we'd have to figure out how to fix every package using this.
So I've just disabled mimalloc and life goes on, *shrug*.
Apparently #Maturin doesn't support individually disabling features that are enabled by default, so I have to disable all default-enabled features instead which means that if extra features come in the future, we may end up having to keep enabling them manually, *sigh*.

Big thanks to ionen for figuring this out.

realized I never did an introduction post even for my other fedi account, so here we are now :neofox_blep:
uhhh hi, I'm Ayzee (she/it)! I also use other names, which you can find on my pronouns.cc page (link in bio). I'm currently trying out Sharkey after using Mastodon for a while.
AuDHD and depression occupy my mind and won't leave even when I ask nicely. I have done programming in systems dev, and am into TTRPGs, drawing, and storytelling. Tone indicators are very nice (/gen).
I run Gentoo, Zsh, NeoVim, Niri, and Kitty. They're all very nice projects and make using a computer rather pleasant (minus the fact I have an Nvidia GPU).
I am certified Based™️ by the World Gender Anarchist Society, and I will be stealing all of the estrogen from cis women (/sarc).
my other account is @[email protected] if you're interested in that one.

Okay, so please correct me if I'm wrong about the state of #OpenPGP right now.
So first there's the former #RFC4880bis which is now pursued as "#LibrePGP", used by #GnuPG (and #rnp?), with a "v5" key format, that everyone else seem to looks "politely" at.
Then there's #RFC9580 with a "v6" key format, used by #OpenPGPjs, #SequoiaPGP (and more) but explicitly rejected by GnuPG. However, it seems to be pushed forward under the assumption that GnuPG will yield to pressure.
So we effectively have two incompatible standards, with a "common denominator" of ancient #RFC4880, some tools pursuing one of them with disregard for the other, and a few supporting both for the sake of the users. And #Gentoo is effectively stuck with whatever GnuPG supports, because we need working crypto on all supported platforms, not just the "Rust subset".

How about considering coming over to #guix @rek2. Maybe you will find what you were looking for in arch and gentoo there. Note the guix community is also actively supporting the #hurd and even ramping it up https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2026/the-64-bit-hurd/

Fun bug in #ZBar discovered while debugging a #SegNo (#Python #QRCode generator library) test failure on #Gentoo with #musl libc.
SegNo defaults to attempting to encode strings as ISO-8859-1 if possible. ZBar defaults to trying to decode them as Big5 first. Most of the time everything works fine.
Let's take a test string from ZBar: "Märchenbücher". When we encode it as ISO-8859-1, we're going to get two high-byte, low-byte sequences: E4 72 for "är" and FC 63 for "üc". The latter sequence maps to a "user defined" character in Big5, and therefore glibc refuses to convert it. However, musl converts it just fine. As a result, ZBar decodes the string as Big5, to "M酺chenb𡡷her".
You could argue that musl behaves wrong. However, note that the former sequence is valid in Big5. So if you shorten the string to just "Märchen", glibc would happily decode its ISO-8859-1 #encoding as Big5, giving you "M酺chen". And yes, if I put that test string into SegNo, I get a QRCode that reproduces the problem on a glibc system.
Does ZBar behave wrong here? Or perhaps SegNo should avoid ISO-8859-1 altogether, and use safer UTF-8 encoding?

@filippo Meanwhile, bootstrapping a current OpenJDK involves compiling multiple ancient packages (each with its own set of outdated dependencies, of course) and then going up all the way from Java 7, version by version.
@stikonas has described this tedious process and developed some ebuilds for Gentoo here: https://git.stikonas.eu/andrius/gentoo-bootstrap
This also applies to Rust in a way, but at least it's not as bad there – not yet, as the old versions might eventually succumb to bitrot, too.
Please, dear programming language community, can we do better at this? For resilience, for reproducibility, for reliability, for portability and for preservation?

What could I be doing right now, on a Friday evening?
Of course filing bugs on random #Python / #RustLang packages requesting a #PyO3 version update and a new release, to support #PyPy 3.11 in #Gentoo. Because obviously the right way to maintain modern Python packages is to rewrite random parts of them in Rust, then neglect updating their dependencies for half a year or more.
Yes, I'm talking about all the packages that don't even support PyO3 0.23.x yet.
And then they'll come and say that we should leave dependency management and security to upstreams.
-
A while ago, I've followed the example given by #Fedora and unbundled ensurepip wheels from #Python in #Gentoo (just checked — "a while ago" was 3 years ago). This had the important advantage that it enabled us to update these wheels along with the actual pip and setuptools packages, meaning new virtual environments would get fresh versions rather than whatever CPython happened to bundle at the time of release.
I had considered using our system packages to prepare these wheels, but since we were already unbundling dependencies back then, that couldn't work. So I just went with fetching upstream wheels from PyPI. Why not build them from source instead? Well, besides feeling unnecessary (it's not like the PyPI wheels are actually binary packages), we probably didn't have the right kind of eclass support for that at the time.
Inspired by @hroncok, today I've tried preparing new revisions of ensurepip packages that actually do build everything from source. So what changed, and why should building from source matter now? Firstly, as part of the wheel reuse patches, we do have a reasonably clean architecture to grab the wheels created as part of the PEP517 build. Secondly, since we're unbundling dependencies from pip and setuptools, we're effectively testing different packages than these installed as ensurepip wheels — and so it would be meaningful to test both variants. Thirdly, building from source is going to make patching easier, and at the very least enable user patching.
While at it, I've refreshed the test suite runs in all three regular packages (pip, setuptools and wheel — we need an "ensurepip" wheel for the last because of test suites). And of course, I hit some test failures in testing the versions with bundled dependencies, and I've discovered a random bug in #PyPy.

Next #inxi is shaping up well, all running in #pinxi now. Came across an ancient distro I'd never heard of, #TDSDE, which apparently preceded Gentoo by a few months. Poor docs, unreliable source builds, but got everything inxi cares about working, and found some weak spots. These corner case distros often expose weak assumptions.
Also locked down #rpm packages, #urpm #eopkg #pisi repo reports, which were not great, or not working.
Took a while to get enough fixes to warrant a new release.

I've started working on adding the #FreeThreading version of #CPython 3.13 to #Gentoo (properly, our previous approach no longer works). Since it's not ABI-compatible with the regular 3.13, we need to make it truly separate — including a new PYTHON_TARGETS flag. Which kinda makes sense, because we'd want to test it explicitly anyway.
One thing lead to another, and now I'm considering major changes to how to we package CPython itself in Gentoo. Long story short, per the current custom we'd be adding the freethreading variant as something like:
dev-lang/python-3.13.0-r100:3.13t
However, because of Portage always insisting on additionally having the newest version installed anyway when only older slots are requested (well, in some scenarios this makes sense, I guess), this would mean all ~arch users would inadvertently get it installed! So I wanted to go for something like this instead:
dev-lang/python-freethreading-3.13.0:3.13t
But in fact, the inadvertent upgrades problem isn't really new. When Python 3.13 was added, ~arch people got it installed, even though their PYTHON_TARGETS didn't want it. Same goes for stable users when it gets stabilized. In fact, this used to lead to breakage when someone used custom scripts that relied on system #Python packages. Just imagine you've got all your dependencies installed for 3.12, and Portage suddenly installs 3.13 and `python` starts calling it by default!
Historically, we've kinda solved that problem by adding dev-lang/python-exec-conf that'd install a default configuration for python-exec that matched PYTHON_TARGETS. However, why not address the deeper issue and stop slotting instead. So I've proposed that going forward, we make them:
dev-lang/python3_14
And since I'm proposing a major change like this, why not go for "python3_13t" instead of "python-freethreading"? Perhaps it's less obvious, but has the advantage of matching PYTHON_TARGETS.

Today #Inea, my ISP, had a major fiber fault — apparently ranging from the Dębiec district of Poznań, all the way south to Czempiń (something like 30 km). What did I discover due to that?
Firstly, I couldn't find any way to find information on current faults anywhere on their website. Finally, I've decided to use the "chat" with their "virtual advisor" (i.e. some stupid LLM). Immediately after opening it and agreeing to the terms of service, it threw a list of current faults at me. Couldn't they have put that somewhere in the website instead?
Secondly, I had a hard time getting #tethering with my phone to work. I couldn't figure out why #DHCP wasn't working. And neither #systemd, nor #Android, provides any useful way to debug this shit, so I've finally tried Wireshark. Using it, I was able to tell what IP the phone is using, gave my PC an address in the same range, and DHCP miraculously started working.
In fact, I do believe it isn't the first time that DHCP didn't work for me until I gave some random IP address to the computer. I admit that I'm not a networking expert, nor would I even call myself a sysadmin, but WTF?!

if Kyber also available in Kleopatra? Thanks
IMHO below:
Who cares? It's often said that the videotape format war and the high-definition optical disc format war were won by whatever the porn industry favoured. I don't know whether this claim about video format wars is true, but I would argue that the LibrePGP vs. RFC 9580 "war" will be won by whatever is favoured by the predominant public key distribution platform.
Currently, that platform is https://keys.openpgp.org which I don't expect to support LibrePGP anytime soon, because it relies on sequoia-openpgp which I don't expect to support the RFC behind LibrePGP as long as it's just an Active Internet-Draft. At least, Sequoia-PGP supported RFC 9580 after it was released in July 2024 (link). So, why should they handle LibrePGP any differently? tbh, even if the RFC behind LibrePGP has the status of a "RFC - Proposed Standard" which I expect it to never get, I don't think Sequoia-PGP will support it.
I for once will rotate my keypair and opt for Sequoia-PGP once this Gentoo bug has been solved. My reasons:
- I expect for RFC 9580 to remain favoured on the predominant public key platform.
- I cannot rely on the GnuPG manpage (link).

Hey R.L. Dane,
as per your OP in this thread, I've been using #Remmina for years. X2Go, RDP, WhatEv really floats yer boat ⛵ , it's there.
Uh, oh, I feel a tangent coming on... Okay not to hijack your thread, but maybe you can offer a bit of your perspective on flatpak vs appimage alternatives, since I don't prefer either, and usually will go out of my way to create a native package for WhatEv distro I'm using if it doesn't exist, or just compile from source rawdawg if need be like I did with #Zed (which only impresses me because of Git integration and Vim bindings; and it's Rust) - Jury's still out on that one though.
Anyway, I just broke down and installed a flatpak for the #LaGrange browser because I got a bit lazy and didn't wanna make the .deb for myself.
Okay, back to your situation...
Remmina HERE is pretty comprehensive with the native package managers with ready to go .deb's for #Forky & Sid, #SlackBuild for #Slackware, #FreeBSD & #OpenBSD ports, #Devuan, #Gentoo, #Guix, and #Kali just to name some.
It's pretty straight-forward and a single package to accommodate a plethora of methodologies so you can use it as your Varsity first string go-to in a pinch most of the time.
Even better, is the fact that they don't have an ewb00ntew maintainer, lolz... Coz frinds don't let frinds run ewb00tew :p

Yes source based distro's have been around since the very beginning - in fact, MCC Interim Linux and #SLS weren't far from that mark, except that they merely tried to make it a bit more convenient by packaging up tarballs to be exploded during installation. And there's always #LFS.
If you think about Slackpkg - and you consider that you can actually re-install the entire system by compiling every single component of the default (full) install with the evocation of a single command, followed by the customization of your entire system by installing every kind of software imaginable through the use of #sbopkg or some other automated, dependency resolving package manager that uses #SlackBuilds (which are downloaded, then exectuted, and subsequently download the latest release of he software package desired, which is in turn compiled, packaged, and exploded) - you actually have a fully source based distro installed on your box.
That's right - Slackware is (can be forced to be) an entirely source based distro installed on your device.
And choosing to convert from a point release to Slackware -current switches you from a point release to a #Rolling_Release distro.
*Debian Testing, aka at this time, Trixie is a rolling release. #Arch_Linux is a rolling release, SourceMage and Lunar Linux are source based distros based on #Sorcerer_Linux, the original fully source based Linux distro released when Linux was only about 8yrs old in 2000, and the #Gentoo or #Funtoo source based Linux distros.
SystemD my ass. That has nothing to do with nothing in that conversation - it's completely non-sequitur and truth be told, most source based distros (Arch, Gentoo) support the type of init system that *YOU CHOOSE. For Debiantards such as myself, well..... There's #Devuan - and that's very refreshing to actually have control over your system again with true init scripts. But I rarely use Devuan, even though I've been associated with the initiative since its inception, after leaving the #Mageia team several years ago.
As I state in almost all of my profiles, I'm a Slacker, since 1993 (Slackware Linux), and I'm also a bit of a #Debiantard. On the BSD side, after leaving #Jolix (386BSD) for Slackware, I've pretty much settled on either #OpenBSD or #Dragonfly_BSD, w/the awesome #HAMMER2 FS. I still have a lot of love for #FreeBSD and of course #NetBSD - where I spend a lot of time in my proper #Korn Shell....
But what the heck does any of this have to do with a comparison of using Gentoo Linux being akin to using SystemD?
I don't like SystemD - but if you're a realist, that doesn't mean you forgo using distros that only have that init tooling. You just roll with the punches and keep following the innovations that support you - NO ONE STILL RUNS WINDOWS XP in production - at least, no one outside of state mental hospitals, that's just insane to do in a forward facing business environment.
But a lot of companies do leverage OpenRC, SysVinit, etc., instead of SystemD - that's not going away, and SystemD itself and Poetering have their own up and coming challengers.
SystemD is (supposed to be, originally) a way to boot your box. Yes, it's indeed encroached upon other landscapes since, but not all of those constructs are even considered by many mainstream distros - it's not a fact of life. Other init systems thrive in the UNIX world to this day and will continue to do so.
Likewise, Source based Linux distros are just one among many distros that exist, and may or may not leverage SystemD as their init systems - to really get a good grasp of this, I recommend doing a few Arch Linux installs - with and without SystemD as the base init system. Heck, even Debian still supports your regular, good old #syslog, and at every turn during your updates, reminds you how to keep it enabled since the whole journalctl crap just isn't as elegant, IMO.
Personally, I think more concurrent options are usually better - space is cheap. Storage no longer costs a dollar a meg. or worse, like it was when I was a kid, a few thousand dollars a meg. That's right... MegaByte - Not TB for penny's!
Okay so now I'm waiting to hear back from the OP and see just what the heck they meant when I got triggered. In the meantime....
Enjoy installing and using #Sorcerer_Linux, or the subesquent forks of it's surviving lineage like #SourceMage and #Lunar_Linux - you're now a part of mainstream source-basedLinux History once you do 🤘 💀 🤘

It's spring time, which means it's time for me to get bored with the operating system on my daily driver and start to re-investigate my options. The oncoming onslaught of age verification laws that look like they were written by badly trained AI is also helping preempt this thought, since Linux distributions will of course be forced to react in some manner.
I'm currently running Project Bluefin, which is an opinionated variation of the Universal Blue project. I'm a fan, and I'm not investigating change because of anything holding me back in the current front.
Ground rules:
- I've run Fedora for almost 2 decades. While I certainly can work in Ubuntu/derivatives, I'd prefer not to simply due to toolset familiarity.
- I know, Arch exists. I don't want to. Did Gentoo before Pentium was a thing and compile time flags actually mattered. Don't need to do that again unless some other compelling reason.
- If I'm going to go all the way in on managing the tool, I'll go all the way to Linux from Scratch. At least that way I've built the OS from ground up, so there's actual benefit to compiling everything from scratch - not imagined performance gains on i7's with 64GB ram.
- If you choose "Something Else," leave a comment with the suggestion and discuss/justify why you think I should move. I'm not against new things, but it won't replace my daily driver "just because, bro."
- Don't do the distro war thing. It was tiring on IRC in 2002, it's exhausting 25 years later. Sell your opinion on it's own merits, not by flaming other things.
Boosts welcome. It'll be a fun time.
