Wrote a silly script to showcase how to use unshare + chroot/pivot_root in order to manually enter a #linux #chroot / #container without needing #root privileges:
https://gist.github.com/mid-kid/9293f4f0617052b9c3aa45422fb89f90
I rarely see anyone mention how this can be done without needing to reach for #bubblewrap or systemd-nspawn, and I think it's important to see how you can leverage the primitives that drive container technology.
The script can be simplified, but not without sacrificing correctness. I hope the comments help.

What's better than a #desktop screenshot? A desktop snapshot!
I spent a couple of months creating a set of scripts to build a #bootable #ISO image out of my #gentoo install, with all the packages, patches and configurations it involves.
Doing this allows me to create an archive of not only what my desktop looks like, but what it *feels* like. #gnu #linux keeps changing, and with it, my setup. It's hard to bring back old configs.

There is now an interesting guide by @mid_kid (https://mid-kid.root.sx/git/mid-kid/bootstrap/src/branch/master/gentoo-2024/gentoo.txt) on installing #Gentoo from just source and a tiny 200 byte kernel. At the moment it's a bit longish and starts with #livebootstrap then pivots to #LFS to obtain 64-bit toolchain and finally bootstraps #Gentoo from there.
Potentially some steps could be optimized, and #LFS removed but it works.

Now here's something really special - I don't come across things so refreshingly kewl this often. I follow and test with AlienBob's Ktown endowed LiveSlack CDs but I've been running my own installed from scratch
Slackware -currentworkstations (or moving them to new machines) that I've continued maintain w/bleeding edge software for many years.This is more like the latter (My warm and fuzzy, just how I like it, personal OS install) than the former (LiveSlack CD) - You're getting the benefit of seeing how someone else sets up their machine to incorporate their daily business flow, with all the kewl tweaks and progs right there for you to moll over. You can run it as/is or take it as a starting point to diverge from, incorporating your own style and improvements for years to come.
You prolly wanna bookmark this for sure and I know that I'mma spin this up myself this week!
A couple of things that I feel are pertinent to mention:
- You start off with a running system, like any #LiveCD, but already tweaked with plenty of customization and integrations to make this a plug and play daily driver right out of the gate.
- It's a great way to skip over the parts that led you to believe it was too much work to justify getting started with #Gentoo.#tallship #Linux #FOSS #distro h/t to @mid_kid - You can haz #Cheezburgerz! 🍔

I grew up at the perfect time to be an annoying twat with ASDFmovie references when I was young, and join the boomers in annoying the now kids with six seven.

(real talk, this setting is great for everything except /var and /home, just mount those separately as subvolumes)

Mount your btrfs partitions with compress-force=zlib:9 . Nobody has ever regretted mounting their btrfs partitions with compress-force=zlib:9

Shoutouts to the type of #fanfiction that makes it blatantly obvious there were supposed to be sex scenes, and it doesn't take much digging to find the author's patreon or w/e where they keep the NSFW bits.

Reminder to plug your old and dusty #3ds cartridges into your console occasionally, to avoid them corrupting themselves over time!
Ideally, you can verify them using this tool: https://gbatemp.net/threads/corrupted-cartridge-fixer-release.628539/My copy of smash was behaving wonkily (hanging at random moments, mostly), and even though I've managed to get into a fight, the tool is finding many other bad blocks and fixing them :)

>look up "angel of darkness" song after hearing it in a PMV
>all the comments are about something that happened in #miraculousladybug 13 days ago
Really happy to learn that fandoms are alive and well ♥️
(just wish I'd know where to look for them these days...) -
TIL #microchip still makes new PIC18 #microcontroller designs with modern peripherals like I3C, cheap development boards, and even a DIP option. Hard to find exact dates but the one I'm looking at (PIC18-Q20) lists 2021 in the copyright.

#gentoo #portage feature I learned about today by accident:
emerge --pretend --fetchonly (shortened as emerge -pf) will print all the URLs it'd use to download the various distfiles, instead of listing the results of the dependency resolution (as --pretend would usually do).
Caught me off-guard, I don't think this is documented anywhere. Glad to know portage still hits me with surprises after using it for 7 years 😅

Today in project ideas I wish I'd get rid of:
An #rgbds (#gameboy / SM83 assembler) linker that turns the object file into ELF, allowing it to be linked into a linux program (and resolve symbols in doing so), coupled with a minimal CPU emulator with a few syscalls to be able to perform C calls/linux syscalls outside of the emulator.
...and then use that to implement the x11 or wayland protocol in SM83 #assembly and display things.
(I've been looking for excuses to learn these protocols)

Someone spent 17 years on-and-off making a #rap walkthrough of #cavestory and it's really good for what it is.

Dead Cells was ported to tiny #linux retro handhelds. This took a lot of work in recompiling the game's code to arm64, patching the game to reduce graphics calls and optimizing its assets for the reduced specs. Really impressive things are happening in this world.

One killer feature of the #3ds, that I've yet to see replicated anywhere else, is the note-taking applet. You'd go to the home menu, tap the pencil, and you'd be able see a screenshot of the game you were playing and write/draw anything.
Having to pause my game and whip out my phone to take a note takes me out of it significantly. -
