RE: https://burnthis.town/@tissa_sketch/116994058848602365
Alguém com entendimento de blambers de OS conseguiria resolver esse mistério?
Queria ao menos ter um pista antes de tentar de novo, caso eu venha a tentar de novo.

Hello Fedi! My employer went through my #PostCovid time with me. Now that I'm back to work full time, they suddenly decided to let me go. 🤷♀️ I'm a #pentester with 5 years of experience in the field, before that 3 years of software dev in the #infosec field as well. Got a Bsc. in Computer Sience with emphasis on infosec and networke systems. In my #homelab I'm selfhosting on #proxmox and #k8s. I've been daily driving #linux for the past 20 years, first #gentoo, then #fedora. I'm pretty good with it, but no certs. I'm looking to continue in #offensivesecurity, but would be happy to pivot into infra/network or any other adventure given it's interessting or a good cause. Happy to invest in my skillset. Hybrid in north-eastern #Switzerland fully remote anywhere else.

And this "entitled prospective user" attitude. "I was planning on moving my projects to #Codeberg, but now I won't". Oh, how sad that you won't give them the benefit of using their free services (okay, I'm sure you were going to donate).
Reminds me of the "entitled prospective contributor" attitude in #Gentoo. "You never heard from me before, but I don't like this new policy. There are dozens of new contributors with me, just around the corner, and now we won't be able to contribute." (This was about the copyright policy, so they could have contributed noncontroversially for a long time, yet they never did.)

@mikesax I mean sure, that's certainly a stance to take.
On the other hand... #Mozilla come forward with a quite open stance. #debian otoh is contemplating the converse. #Gentoo has had a no-AI policy for a long time now.
In sum, every reputable #foss org is thinking about how to deal with #ai one way or the other.
So you might be surprised that #codeberg weights it this way, which is fair, but the fact that orgs *are* taking a stance is hardly surprising, don't you agree?

Got #debian installed on my wife's computer. Been running #Xubuntu for years, but / ran out of space and I couldn't upgrade; could barely update. And, I am not a fan of snaps at all.
Anyhow, back with Debian after about 20 years or so --- after #Gentoo and #MandrakeLinux (yeah, it was a while ago), Debian was one of my go-tos. Often one of the first I would recommend.
Problem now is: I set up #Japanese input for my wife years ago. No idea what I did. Need to figure out again.

Help me, please.
Gentoo-based Redcore Linux is the only operating system on my laptop now.
Secureboot is always disabled in UEFI.
I have every reason to be suspicious of anything Microslop.
Thankfully, a Gentoo Linux based system won't install this Microsoft UEFI Secureboot DBX without my consent.
But I want to get rid of it completely.
This is what I see in my package manager.
Help me, please!

It's always … DNS.
Naja, genauer: `resolvconf`, der mir nach jedem Standby alte Nameserver-Einträge reindrückt.

So. Hauptrechner läuft mit EndeavourOS (Arch), Laptop 1 läuft mit Linux Mint mit XFCE und Liquorix-Kernel. Laptop 2 kriegt jetzt Fedora XFCE. Vielleicht auch den LQX-Kernel.
Damit kann ich wohl behaupten, alle relevanten Linux-Distributionen einigermaßen zu beherrschen.
Gentoo und Slackware laufen aktuell nur in der VM bei mir.

Ktoś coś znowu nabroił? Czy to ja?
Mam w /etc/profile.d/ niejakiego local-bin.sh
I tu zaczynają się jaja jakieś.
Na koncie root on się najwyraźniej odpala, jak root przełączy się na usera to tam też, ale jak otworzę terminal usera ot tak to tam jest inne $PATH ... może zawsze było inne, tego nie wiem ale ~/.local/bin/ działało!Co spartaczyłem? :D

I forgot a piece of luggage somewhere in the terminals of Toronto Pearson airport, upon arriving from Tokyo to connect to Chicago, and finding out that the flight is cancelled, and being rebooked on the one 12 hours later.
Now I am short of a laptop from the employer, some notes on paper, a non-trivial amount of Japanese cash (remains of a per diem), and few not so valuable things. That was on Thursday, and I am still to hear from various Lost and Found establishments 😠
Reviving a 10-years old laptop I stopped using 1.5 years ago, as a replacement, isn't fast. It seems I need to rebuild the kernel, and update a number of packages to the next major number. And I can't affort to use ~amd64, as building anything from sources is way too slow.
It took me a while to revive Xmonad I've been using as the X11 windows manager, as Haskell packages on Gentoo aren't in a great shape, so I removed them all and set up Haskell via GHCup.

Been updating the OS on my old faithful (Panasonic CF-53), as well as setting up Gentoo on the Argon One Up CM5.
Package builds are demonstrably faster on the CM5 than the CF-53. As in big builds like `webkit-gtk` are building a lot faster on the CM5 than they are on the CF-53.
The CF-53 is a Core i5-3320M; hyperthreaded dual-core x86-64 running 2.6GHz, there's 8GB RAM.
The CM5 is a Broadcom BCM2712; quad-core ARM Cortex A76 running at 2.4GHz, and the module I have sports 16GB RAM.The CM5 is leaving the old machine in the dust in all areas except video acceleration… haven't quite got that working in X11 yet (I'll move to Wayland when it's ready… it isn't now for my use case).
I guess I'll know more once I get more of my standard desktop applications up and running.

Zero days since #CPython broke the extension ABI at the very last minute after asking everyone repeatedly to test prereleases. And of course they don't bother tracking ABI changes in any way, so they could at least give people heads up that important pieces of their system will start segfaulting after the upgrade. All they can offer is a knee-jerk response of "we never promised ABI stability".
And yes, this is a huge PITA for #Gentoo users who opted in to helping out.

So I wanted to unbundle #uChardet from #cChardet #Python package.
It didn't build against system uchardet 0.0.8. So I've checked, and it turns out cchardet is using some old patched fork of uchardet. Ugh.
Fortunately, upstream added the "missing" function too, with a different API (that's not really a problem), but they didn't make a release in 4 years. Ugh.
I could at least replace the old patched uchardet with upstream uchardet, right? Except now I'm getting test failures over misdetected encodings. 0.0.8 works fine there. Though the particular test doesn't look very realistic (note all the repetitions):

Migrated from Windows to Linux leaving a Brother P-Touch label printer behind? Your printer may still be useful and work in Linux despite no mfg Linux support.
My decade-old Brother PT-2700 working on Gentoo Linux with both the command-line ptouch-print utility and the graphical ptouch-rs [Rust] application. I also built ptouch-rs successfully on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspberry Pi OS "Trixie.".

@decorum @tuxedocomputers Ich bin auch ehrlich gesagt mehr gespannt als ich erst dachte. Meine kräftigeren Systeme sind zwar auf #gentoo, aber ist ist z.B. für den HTPC doch manchmal mehr Aufwand, als mir lieb ist. Und ich habe schon sooooo lange auf eine brauchbare Rolling-Distro auf Basis von Testing* gewartet, dass ich es fix ausprobieren werde.
* Also praktisch seit ich ca. 2006/07 von Debian Testing zu #gentoo bin 🤷♂️

More bad luck with trying out new distros! I managed to get Gentoo installed, but when I tried to log in to the console, I got a strange error about it not being able to create a seat? I'm not sure what I got wrong this time, so I'm going to give it another try!

PSA: after another major policy violation by user who clearly never cared about #Gentoo and joined only to ignore the rules, I've suspended processing access requests to GURU. We're already working on a new policy, and we'll go from there.
