Zero days since 83 #Gentoo developers effectively lost push access over revoked PGP key signatures because of random #LDAP hiccup.
Yes, we have error handling. And yes, we have a safety check in case error handling didn't work and LDAP returned empty list of developers. Yet apparently that's not enough either, so now we also check if the diff between old and new lists isn't too large; you know, in case ldapsearch randomly returned a subset of developers and considered it a success.

I'm attempting to install Gentoo on a laptop that was previously not in use. If I can get it to work there, then I might use it for my home server as well!

Ok! I have successfully configured a #Gentoo box to work roughly as a Steam Machine! I installed greetd, and configured it to automatically log in as me, and run Steam in Big Picture mode with cage. So you turn on the computer, and (after standard bootup display stuff) it drops you right into a full-screen Steam experience!

XFCE has been my desktop environment choice for as long as I’ve been using #Linux as anything other than a hobby, but I think I’m going to give COSMIC a try. (Still on #Gentoo, of course. I’m not switching to an Ubuntu fork, and being able to configure my computer to work exactly the way I want is specifically the reason I use Gentoo in the first place.)

Being away from my PC for a few days was really refreshing. Time to get back to work. Today: taking care of PHP in #gentoo again.

I've built a custom kernel and updated my `cmdline.txt` to point `root=` at the Gentoo partition. Damn this thing flies on Gentoo.
I had Debian momentarily on NVMe as I re-arranged things on the eMMC, and didn't notice much of a speed-up, notably opening a terminal window took ~30 seconds or more, whether running from eMMC or NVMe.
On Gentoo, it's practically instant (booting from NVMe).
I have some graphics acceleration issues to sort out in X11, but things are a lot more responsive.
Maybe it's all that `systemd` junk. It certainly isn't my CFLAGS because they're as plain as they come: `-O2 -pipe`.

🐧💿 Calamaroos extinde familia de ediții și face Gentoo mult mai simplu de instalat
Gentoo Linux este renumit în comunitatea tech drept una dintre cele mai puternice, flexibile și optimizate distribuții, dar și una dintre cele mai greu de instalat. Procesul tradițional presupune configurarea manuală din linia de comandă, descărcarea unui stadiu inițial (Stage 3) și compilarea kernelului de la zero — o barieră uriașă pentru mulți utilizatori. Pentru a demistifica acest sistem, proiectul open-source Calamaroos vine cu o soluție ingenioasă, extinzându-și recent familia de ediții pentru a aduce Gentoo mai aproape de mase.
Calamaroos combină robustețea Gentoo cu simplitatea celebrului instalator grafic universal Calamares, transformând o instalare de câteva ore (sau zile) într-un proces vizual de doar câteva minute.
Iată principalele noutăți și modul în care Calamaroos revoluționează experiența Gentoo:
🔹 Instalare grafică simplificată prin Calamares:
Inima acestui proiect este integrarea framework-ului de instalare Calamares (folosit cu succes de distribuții precum Manjaro sau EndeavourOS). Utilizatorii beneficiază acum de:Un asistent grafic pas cu pas pentru configurarea limbii, a fusului orar și a tastaturii.
Un manager de partiționare intuitiv (vizual), eliminând riscul de a șterge date din greșeală prin comenzi complexe de tip fdisk sau parted.
🔹 Extinderea familiei de ediții (Desktop-uri gata configurate):
Cea mai recentă actualizare Calamaroos aduce o paletă mult mai largă de medii grafice preconfigurate. În loc să instalezi un sistem de bază complet gol și să configurezi manual serverul grafic, acum poți alege imagini live (Live ISO) cu desktop-ul tău preferat gata de utilizare:Ediții moderne precum KDE Plasma 6 și GNOME.
Opțiuni ușoare și eficiente pentru hardware mai vechi, cum ar fi XFCE sau managerul de ferestre i3wm.
🔹 Pachete precompilate vs. Compilare tradițională:
Pentru a accelera dramatic procesul, Calamaroos folosește din plin suportul tot mai extins al Gentoo pentru pachete binare (precompilate). Asta înseamnă că sistemul de bază și mediul desktop se instalează instantaneu, fără ca procesorul tău să transpire compilând cod sursă timp de ore în șir. Totuși, odată instalat, sistemul rămâne un Gentoo pur-sânge: ai libertatea totală ca pe viitor să folosești managerul emerge pentru a compila optimizat orice pachet de care ai nevoie.🔹 Poarta de intrare perfectă în universul Gentoo:
Calamaroos nu își propune să schimbe filozofia Gentoo, ci să elimine frustrarea inițială. Este instrumentul ideal pentru utilizatorii intermediari de Linux care vor să experimenteze controlul absolut, sistemul de pachete Portage și managementul fin al flag-urilor USE, dar care nu au timpul sau răbdarea necesară pentru a trece prin ritualul clasic de instalare din terminal.Prin extinderea edițiilor sale, Calamaroos demonstrează că o distribuție de elită precum Gentoo poate deveni accesibilă și prietenoasă, oferind un echilibru perfect între simplitatea instalării și puterea brută a personalizării ulterioare.

Now I need help removing vanilla Firefox (AI, yuck! I installed the AI-free LibreWolf fork) from Redcore (Gentoo fork) Linux. (I migrated from Kubuntu to Redcore to avoid Gen AI.)
It's not in the "Discover" package manager.
I can't find it in Dolphin by searching "Firefox."
Clicking on "Uninstall or manage add-ons" does nothing.

Installing Steam on a mini PC running #Gentoo, mostly because I’m curious how good the graphics are on this thing. 🤷♂️
