#IPFire 2.29 Core Update 202 has been released ( #Firewall / #Security / #WireGuard / #Linux / #LinuxFromScratch / #LFS / #IPCop / #SmoothWall ) https://www.ipfire.org/

Getting underway with the "move my #CGHMN server to real hardware" project. The poll I posted a few days ago said y'all wanted me to run OpenBSD 3.0, but I found that it didn't work well with my hardware so I settled for Linux. Although I'm doing something interesting: I'm running #LinuxFromScratch! Specifically LFS 3.3. After solving the performance problems I was having with the VIA C3 CPU, the bottleneck at this point seems to be the CF card I'm using for storage.

#RetroComputing

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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."
5. 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.

#linuxfromscratch installation completed

Yes #UEFI is still in BLFS.
That's very very BAD in 2026

The only "big" problem in Chi's run was https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/systemd/postlfs/efivar.html

the patch that's needed so it builds clean with glibc 2.43 can be found here

https://github.com/rhboot/efivar/pull/292.patch

all in all https://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/13.0-systemd-rc1/ seems to be in good shape

#linux #efivar #glibc

Linux From Scratch annuncia la fine della versione basata su SysV e adotta systemd come unica opzione ufficiale, segnando un cambiamento storico per il progetto. #LinuxFromScratch #systemd #Linux

🚀 "Linux from Scratch" V12.4 is out, because apparently, building a Linux system from the ground up is the next logical step after you've mastered finger painting. 📚 Who knew that the year 2025 would bring us a 26-year-old book that's still more effective than counting sheep? 🐑

My new hobby: Building #SPA with #VanillaJS Code is from an ongoing side project: #LFS Builder #JS #Developer #Development #JavaScript #LinuxFromScratch

And so it begins.

I went digging - apparently the first time I did #LinuxFromScratch was version 5.1.1, in 2004. I’m actually pretty excited to do this again. It’s strange.

I don't know if this is caused by consumerism or what. but buying the actual physical book for something often helps me dedicate some time to it. if I just get the pdf it loses "something". same with epub/kindle - it's better than the pdf but worse than the physical book.
having a physical copy of a book somehow makes it feel more valuable.
it would be cool if someone sold print copies of the #linuxfromscratch book. I have been meaning to read it for a very long time and I feel like if I had a physical copy it would encourage me to finally read and follow it until completion.

Last week I went to my local LUG because they had Bruce Dubbs in town of Linux From Scratch.
The experience was a delightful blast from the past join a room of 40+ local nerds out to talk nerdy.

Plus, I have used LFS a preferred teaching and learning tool for years for getting your hands dirty on the whole stack, and it's relationship across itself.

@saduran When you said you were going to install Linux from scratch, I initially thought you meant you were going to install LinuxFromScratch. So, putting that out there as a not-entirely-serious “other” suggestion 🙂
